Welcome to Terra Sancta Press. We publish books in the humanities that give new insight and open dialogue. We favor books that appeal to a general audience: fiction and creative non-fiction; history; humor; some how-to; children’s books; memoirs; and topics of special interest to the Terra Sancta Press management.
In the History and Public Policy section, you will find memoirs, oral history, military history, historical novels, and creative non-fiction. Two books listed there have been used as textbooks in universities and high schools: Mary Timpe Robsman’s book What Made Us Who We Are Today, WWII Oral History and Pat McDonough’s book Without Keys, My 15 Weeks with the Street People.
Our Web Store has added many new “rooms” or groupings of items. The largest suite is called The Turtledove Collection. The idea behind The Turtledove Collection is a space to experiment with creativity and lightheartedness.
Our newest book release is Ethan Egret’s Family Album, an anthropomorphic tale of Ethan Egret, his mate Emily, and their mischievous children Chloe and Joshua. How does Ethan handle parenting when Chloe ventures too close to Mr. Alligator? A companion publication Curriculum Guide to Ethan Egret’s Family Album will assist teachers and homeschoolers.
Photographer Author Linda Jump tracked the life cycle of the Great Egrets over three years, Photographing their pair bonding, egg laying, raising chicks to become fledglings and eventually fly on their own. This is an easy reader picture book suitable for 5 to 10 year olds. The book also lists facts about Great Egrets, and Tips for photographing Wild Birds. The list of tips can also be purchased separately in our Reprints area.
Six favorite photographs from the Ethan Egret story may also be purchased as Wall Art ready for framing. We plan to add more photographs by Linda Jump very soon.
The storyteller Dr. Frances Rinaldi has two books and three audiobooks, most based on her maternal grandmother’s Algonquin Indian tales. The books:
How Silver Fox and Coyote Came to Color the Butterfly, and Night Walk, are also available as audiobooks.
The story Florida’s Pocahontas, Malee Francis is an audiobook.
Dr. Rinaldi also offers whimsical blank greeting cards based on her painting designed to amuse, uplift, and inspire.
