It appears that I’ve hit the mark with the readers of LIVE FROM JAPAN!
“LIVE FROM JAPAN is a lovely book in many ways. The spirit of the book is to encourage community between John Rachel’s adopted country and his birth country and the book itself invites, entertains, nourishes and charms, supporting that end.” – Amazon Review April 26, 2021
“An expats perspective which sheds light on the unique and quirky aspects of Japanese country life. Highlights include anecdotal descriptions of the great care taken in daily rituals, food customs, and the courtesy extended to people and place.” – Amazon Review May 15, 2021
“John’s perceptions reminded me of my mixture of awe and puzzlement over Japanese ways and how each generation has distinctive formative influences.” – Amazon Review March 15, 2021

For the next month, all Petrocelli ebooks will be on sale for only $2.99!
Petrocelli has been judged one of the most intense true crime thrillers ever written. It’s not for the timid or squeamish.
It was 2005 and the streets of Brooklyn were crawling with a new crop of absolutely stunning young sex workers from Southeast Asia.
Everybody was up in arms! The local police, area churches, everyday people who didn’t want the neighborhood their kids used for play and school turned into open-air brothels.
Lenny Petrocelli had always been a slacker, a mediocre low-life, getting by on his good looks and street smarts. Suddenly he found himself in over his head. He had slowly been maneuvered by his gangland bosses into a central role in their web of child prostitution and human trafficking. Now he was being set up as the fall guy to take the rap, if the inhumane but lucrative enterprise went down.
If this gritty novel rings true, it’s for good reason. Petrocelli is based on actual stories from a violent and gruesome under-world, where millions of children and adolescents across the globe are held in bondage as slaves.
My deluxe, full-color, large-format book about Japan, as viewed through my American expat eyes, is arriving February 14th (yes, that’s Valentine’s Day).
With over 450 color photos, it’s an expensive volume, coming in at $35.95 in print, normally $9.99 as an ebook.
BUT for the next two weeks, the ebook of LIVE FROM JAPAN! is available as a pre-order in every popular ebook format FOR ONLY . . . $2.99!
I want everyone to have this book. It offers a side of Japan they will never get anywhere else, and unless they come here and stay with me for a few days, are unlikely to experience themselves as a tourist.
