I Accuse the Church and the State
God is not the truth- the Truth is god
Tralala I Accuse the Church and the State
I Accuse the Church and the State is a fictional foray into serious issues of modern American society. The traditionally strict separation of Church and State is being methodically blurred by an influential, relatively small but well financed segment of fundamentalist fanatics who are pulling our republic into the maw of a monster theocracy whose tentacles stand ready to choke all free thought. In this contemporary courtroom drama, author Andy Varlow builds on the tradition of American literary and dramatic classic Inherit the Wind, which took as its model the real-life Scopes Trial and the controversial legal work of Clarence Darrow a half-century ago in defense of teaching evolution in public schools. Varlow’s book borrows its title from Émile Zola’s famous open letter to the French government, which in 1898 set a new standard for expressing outrage to the powerful.

Just Another Man
A Story of the Nazi Massacre of Kalavyrta
Tralala Just Another Man
Just Another Man is a deeply touching story based on a true event in the life of author Andy Varlow (Yiannis in the book). The novel details a child's memory of the Kalavryta massacre in Greece, his vow, immigration to America, and subsequent quest to find the Nazi commander responsible for the destruction of his home town. In August, 1998, the author, his wife, children, and grandchildren traveled to Kalavryta, to commemorate a statue commissioned by the Elios Charitable Foundation. The insert on the front cover is a sketch of this life-size bronze representing a scene of grieving women and children drenched in blood hauling the bodies of their loved ones on shredded blankets from the "Hill of Execution" to the cemetery for burial. The statue now stands in the Kalavryta schoolyard. All profits from this book will be donated to the schoolhouse, which has been designated a Greek national museum.
