Anthony R. Licata's Hannibal's Niece is a must-read historical novel. Licata's knowledge of this period in time and his attention to detail are masterful and brilliantly demonstrated in his exceptional writing and storytelling.

          Mr. Beller is capable of playing on the emotions of the reader. There were times when I felt sad or angry, and even times when I laughed out loud. Beller's writing style makes it impossible to put down once you begin reading.                                                                                    Christi Lyle-Rasheed — San Francisco Book Review

NOT BLACK AND WHITE 
From The Very Windy City to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
                        A Novel by G. A. Beller                                                                                               
     G. A. BELLER has lived in Chicago for over twenty-five years, and is a self-professed political junkie. Chicago's history of political corruption and incompetence prompted him to research a specific era of rampant criminal behavior.  Utilizing articles that appeared in the press and on the internet, Beller created a fictionalized accounting of characters and events during this period, depicting through his imagination how things might have played out. He leaves it to the reader to interpret fact from fiction.                      
     NOT BLACK AND WHITE is G. A. Beller's first novel, and is currently being developed as a television mini-series. 

     The purpose of From Enemies to Partners is to emphasize the importance of a humanitarian concern we can do something about. Beller is proud to have contributed to this very meaningful project, and is hopeful that it will assist in its goal to generate awareness and advance the conversations surrounding Agent Orange.

Available at Amazon
        This book is the Primary Colors of the Obama administration—a gripping, fictionalized version of the corruption and politically-charged backroom deals that propelled a little-known state politician to the White House. With its riveting writing and unforgettable characters, NOT BLACK AND WHITE tops the list of political thrillers. 
     NOT BLACK AND WHITE is a fictional account of many of the events that led to the meteoric rise of a local charismatic street politician to become America's first African-American president, and the downfall and imprisonment of two consecutive governors of the State of Illinois, along with several of their most trusted advisors and cohorts. It puts the reader inside the campaign offices and smoke-filled back rooms where political deals are made.
 
     Fiction is intertwined with fact as G. A. Beller introduces the reader to a cast of characters who may appear familiar to anyone who ever read a headline or watched cable news and talk shows across the country.
