Published in 2018: Standing Tall and Looking Good by R. Fred Zuker and as of Feb. 9, 2020, is available in paperback. This is a memoir of a soldier who served during the Vietnam era. There are links on this site to the book. It is an ebook that can be read and enjoyed by the older, more mature YA reader as well as adults. it is available on Amazon.com.

Now available as a Kindle ebook and a paperback on Amazon: The Dark Angel Turned Away by Ray F. Zuker and R. Fred Zuker. Read this memoir of a WWII bomber pilot. As a former teacher, I consider it suitable for the YA reader, although it will take a mature youth to appreciate its history and the description of a full life well-lived after the war.

Grace with Meals, R. Fred Zuker’s memoir on his experience with cancer was published February, 2020.

Kyle Balmer has written Murder Playlist. This thriller was published November, 2019. A novella, this book gave its editor (me) chills when I read it and a nightmare or two as I worked on it. If you like Stephen King, you must read this.

In the works is a book of poetry written by Edith Taylor. Taylor’s niece Jessica Fontenot is currently illustrating it.

Coskrey Biz welcomes a new contributing artist to the fold. Look for the pages and posts of Sydney Sylver who crafted the cover art for Grace with Meals, Zuker’s memoir of his experience with cancer.

Coskrey Biz’s own graphic artist Wayne Coskrey has promised to post to the blog. Look for his page and post. Wayne did the covers of Zuker’s first two memoirs (see above).
