Ian and Anton is a work of historical fiction that takes place in 2004, during the peak of the Sub-Saharan HIV/AIDS epidemic. The story follows Pastor Anton Nkosi and Ian Roberts, an African preacher and an American entrepreneur seeking a comprehensive solution to the epidemic. Soon, they entered a symbiotic relationship, teaching all involved in the post-Apartheid environment the meaning of love, respect, and, for Ian Roberts, a practical understanding of his religion and a deepened faith in God.
Robert Beckstedt sets the main character on a path influenced by the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001. Through the characters experiences, the author explores the ancient debate regarding predeterminism and free will. The events of the book leave the reader questioning whether the characters life experiences were genuinely random or predetermined.
Robert Beckstedts Ian and Anton is a compelling story of love, faith, and humanity. It will captivate the hearts of its readers as it offers them a story worth telling with a spark of cultural education. Get a copy on Amazon.

Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of The Lady in the Castle by Robert Tecklenburg. This riveting historical fiction is published by Addison & Highsmith Publishers, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction. As a fast-paced historical drama of a young Austrian aristocrat’s struggle against tyranny, war, and social upheaval, a survivor and lady emerge strong, but filled with a deep sense of purpose and commitment to honoring the defenders of the Battle of Castle Itter. The year is 1945, and the Gestapo sentences Maria Von Eickler to death at Dachau concentration camp for treason. Her husband, Josef, marched off to war immediately following their wedding night, and serves in the Wehrmacht fighting on the Western Front. Her plight is unknown to him. Kurt, an SS Officer but childhood friend, rescues her from certain death to serve high-ranking French politicians and soldiers imprisoned by Hitler in Castle Itter in the Austrian Tyrol. Robert Tecklenburg writes historical fiction, but calls Ernest Hemingway, Curt Vonnegut, and Viktor Frankl important influences on his life and writing. Like Tecklenburg, their war experiences shaped their lives and their work. His own combat experiences and long years of work as a trauma therapist for other combat veterans in many ways defined his writing. He is the author of Chasing Pancho Villa, Prague: Darkness Descending, and Cold War. Born in Iowa, he now lives in Virginia. The Lady in the Castle, 240 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-316-3, is available at HistriaBooks.com and from all major book retailers. It is also available as an eBook. Titles published under the various imprints of Histria Books are distributed worldwide by the Independent Publishers Group (IPG).
