Thirteen-year-old Jennifer Nicole McGillicuddy, nicknamed Sweet Pickles, lives in the small riverside town of Anglers Cove, North Carolina-a place where most folks would assume not much ever happens. Or does it? With a natural curiosity and a talent for solving things, Sweet Pickles searches for mysteries in her sleepy little town. High on her list is the Beethoven Castle, an abandoned 1800s mansion rumored to be haunted, according to some of the townspeople who swear they've heard strange and eerie organ music coming from it around Halloween every year. She's determined to one day muster up the courage and find a way into the mansion to try and figure out who or what is behind the ghostly music. Just when she thinks that that's the only mystery in town, she learns that Thomas, one of her best friends, is being suspected of a crime she is certain he didn't commit. Along with her other bestie Deardra and their canine sidekicks, Buster and Tuck, she sets out to solve the mystery behind the unusual crime and to clear Thomas's name. Follow along with Sweet Pickles and her friends through the twists and turns as they unravel the clues in this fun-filled adventure in mystery solving.
This book was inspired by the unrest, indifference, and the covert actions of foreign governments interfering in the political or military affairs of Middle Eastern states all for the purpose of national security of those foreign nations. Religious and radical factions operating within the borders of those Middle Eastern States felt disenchanted and oppressed by outsiders and had resorted to terrorism as a way of persuading those foreign nations to cease and desist meddling in the affairs of their lands and vacate them. The potential of war on a scale not seen since World War II manifests from the actions of all, and war is sought by the radical religious groups that want a Holy War (Jihad). They see it as the only way to achieve autonomy. Countries in the Middle East that offer sanctuary to these radical groups lead to coalitions of foreign armies to invade those nations. Diplomacy failed as an amicable solution for sanctuary states to deal with their problem. This story is a hybrid narrative, a mixture of facts and fiction. The first book is part of a trilogy titled The Three Ts: Treason, Treachery, and Terrorism and will be followed by Precursor to War-The Awakening, and finally Oblivion-A New Beginning. These books will lay out a real and probable scenario of where we're heading if nothing changes.
I wanted to write a brief summary about this cartoon book. I wrote another self-published cartoon book in 2005. My publisher at that time was in Canada.I enjoy sketching out these cartoons for friends and family. I've been doing it since I was fourteen. Depending on what is on the news and what people are currently talking about-that's how I choose a topic.This year of 2020 is like no other year before. We all must dig deeper and adapt to our new world. When I am sketching out another cartoon, it is very therapeutic for me. I enjoy it! I get my talent from my uncle Bill, my mother's older brother. He worked with Ford Motor Company in 1953. His sketches were selected by the Ford executives to design the Thunderbird in 1955-an American classic. He worked with Ford Motor Company for thirty-four years. But first he was a cartoonist like me. I like the UFO subject. Enjoy!

Hi, Mark Simon here. I consider myself a very fortunate person. I grew up on a farm that has been in our family since 1865. I was the fifth generation to farm the land. I grew up working with my dad, my uncle, my cousins, and my grampas. I also feel fortunate to have been able to spend a lot of time with my son, Josh, who was the inspiration of these stories.Over twenty years ago, I was in a car crash that left me partially disabled. Josh began helping me with milking the cows and other chores around the farm when he was twelve years old. Josh would have been the sixth generation to have farmed. We were forced to sell our herd of cows due to events beyond our control. After we had sold our cows, I would tell Josh stories of him growing up.Now you're probably wondering how the name Mookie came about. Back in the day, I was a pretty good ball player and coach. I felt that with my coaching, Josh would have been a pretty good ball player. But the accident I was in put that to a screeching halt. Anyway, I thought Mookie would be a good name for a baseball player, so I was calling Josh Mookie before he was born. These are some of our stories up to the time when he became house broke (out of diapers).
Another scared little fawn sprinkled with water into the Lutheran Church. But that wouldn't last too long. For eight years, I attended a Lutheran school situated in the middle of the city. For the last three years, I could have attended a public school which was only one block away, but instead, I traveled miles and spent hours upon hours killing time or waiting for buses. Back then, every day of my life was an exciting adventure. I could run fast and far! Then came two years at Lutheran High School. They kept putting smart kids in the seat next to me, and I had excellent vision. But then all of that changed when I got caught cheating and distributing answers. They caught me by using a college test instead of the usual high school test level. But instead, I caught the staff grading on a curve and using dumb students such as myself, quaintly peppered about, to lower the curve, hence helping marginal students achieve better grades.Sitting in my electronics tech college class on that fate-filled day, I heard my birth date, and number 35 is what followed. I didn't know how to react. My brother had been drafted, and now me too. But my electronics teacher broke me from my stupor when he said in his air force voice, "e;Get your ass down to the Army Reserve Center and sign up now, right now."e; So I did!I was sitting in my barracks in Fort Polk, reading the book of Revelation because of the reports I heard that languished after the Six Day War. I read it nonstop for three years until I heard that Hebrew is read backward compared to English. The most that I could glean from my fruitless endeavor was that Revelation 10 was a depiction of Tyndale's King James Bible coming to America. So I read from chapter 22 backward to chapter 1, and to my surprise, I found patterns repeated where the same poetic words are used to justify the event prophesied. Seven years later, I finished my book An Apocalyptic Interpretation, which is more or less a very rough draft compared to the expansive interpretation that I am privileged to now.Yet my poetic spirit was still far from me until December 1980 when John Lennon was shot and killed by MDC, who initially claimed that Jesus Christ entered his room at night and directed him to kill John Lennon. MDC's story changed many times after that according to which doctor he manipulated into believing it. His initial claim was that Jesus willed it, and that piqued my interest, especially because the Bible was first and foremost on his display of lusting after the martyrdom of John Lennon. I had been reading John 1316, where Jesus couldn't get His disciples to understand that He had to die and that they would die too, but in a very special way. Whoever would kill Jesus's disciples will think that they are performing God's divine servicelatreia.Truly, I had seen the power on the edge of the double-edged sword of poetic prophecy. They are words with two meanings. They are words that deal with very sensitive issues that can bring healing in one verse and destruction in the next. That is 'The Price of Wisdom"e;!

No one will be able to fully understand the life she has led. Yet, this book may serve as a template to a decent life for anyone faced with adversity to whatever degree.
