When I asked author Lyn Behan if she'd write a blog post on why she wrote The Men and the Medium, she sent me the following: My grandmother has always fascinated me. She was beautiful, mysterious and had had, it appeared to me as an impressionable child, a romantic life. She’d been married three times and had a platonic relationship with another man who adored her and cared for her all her life. On the few occasions that my father reluctantly sent me off to stay with her, he gave dire warnings about her ‘being a bad influence’ and not to take any notice of her. He didn’t have a lot of sympathy for her; she sent him and his brothers to boarding school when they were very young, and he felt certain that his father died of a broken heart when she left him. He did acknowledge her healing and psychic abilities, however. He’d also had these abilities but gave up Spiritualism as he found it too draining on his health. I never had a ‘normal’ conversation with my grandmother; she seemed … [Read more...]

New Title Coming Soon – Historical Fiction / Romance
Today I uploaded the files for our new title, so the book will be ready for purchase in a couple of weeks. I selected this one for AIA Publishing for several reasons: I feel that a true story embellished with the author's imagination and backed up by research always gives a book a special touch, but when combined with engaging characters and written English skills that were good even before editing, I was impressed. As with many of AIA Publishing's books, there's also a metaphysical element due to Lily, the woman loved by four men, being a medium and having genuine spiritual healing powers. However, this book looks more at the character of the medium, her desires and motivations, than her specific spiritual activities. The story is set in England and spans the two world wars of the 20th Century. Managing a story with such a scope has certain challenges, which the author managed well after feedback, and we further refined it with line editing. Though based on the life of the … [Read more...]
New Release, a Unique Thriller: Almost Human by Kenneth L. Decroo
AIA Publishing is pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of Almost Human by Kenneth L. Decroo. This is an unusual thriller about ... you guessed it ... chimpanzees. It's about the people who care for them, in particular scientists and animal trainers interested in locating the results of rumoured experiments breeding hybrid human/chimps, while avoiding those who seek the hybrids - if they do exist - for nefarious purposes. The book is informed by the author's personal experience in working with chimpanzees, so as well as a great story you also get a peek into the world of animal training for movies and circuses. It's a great read, and one I am delighted to have published. Description When Dr. Ken Turner and his colleagues decide to search for rumored half-human, half-chimpanzee creatures, they get more than they bargained for. Now, with time running out, Ken must risk his career and life to find and protect these creatures before a group of shady … [Read more...]

Recommended Editing Service
It's nice to be someone's recommended editing service. I just got this from the author of this book: "I initially contacted Tahlia and asked her to appraise my novel. She did a fantastic job for a modest charge. I then asked her to edit the book, and that turned out to be a more than satisfying experience. Tahlia was a pleasure to work with. She seemed to be brutally honest when need be, and she helped me see what I’d written in a different light. I think she improved my work greatly. I would work with her again and happily recommend her to others." Click here to find out more about the book. … [Read more...]
New publication Announcement: Out of Latvia – a memoir
AIA Publishing will publish this memoir in March. CLICK HERE to be notified when it's available. A story of two men, a generation apart, one growing up in the shadow of the other. Peter Jirgens tells the story of his youth as the son of Arnold Jirgens, a Latvian immigrant, who struggled against discrimination and deceit to establish his family in Nowra, Australia.
