Nobody told Don Gnecco that growing up in poverty in a cockroach-infested one-room garage apartment on the Mississippi Bayou or a converted Prisoner-of-War camp in southern New Mexico might possibly lead to a lifetime of desperation or despair.  He also didn’t know that growing up on military bases with an overbearing and abusive father might break his spirit and therefore reduce his opportunity to live the American Dream. In this poignant and sometimes heartbreaking story, the reader is taken on a twisty and emotional journey in what might be characterized as an example of the resilience of the human spirit.  Hold-your-breath traumatic moments are interspersed with tender and often humorous anecdotes that will leave the reader wondering how one might survive, never mind, thrive.From what many might guess was a doomed childhood, Don Gnecco ultimately figures out how to navigate his way in the world, serving as excellent preparation to help other kids over the five decades he served as an educator.Playing softly in the background is Don Gnecco’s longstanding passion for music and performing that only emerges in his forties, after his children are nearly grown.  His inspirational songs of hope and empowerment have been performed internationally.  Our educator-turned-songwriter tells his story with child-like wonder and with the belief that miracles, blessings, and synchronicities are in all our lives when we are open to seeing them.

A tragedy either brings a family closer together or causes separation. For Julie, her father's death caused separation and was the beginning of heartache, disbelief and unbelief. Her parents' protection was gone, and feelings surfaced she never realized existed. She turned to the Brook where she succeeded in keeping her father's memory alive, because of the enjoyable times they shared there. Although it was a place where she felt close to her father, it was also a place where she refused to acknowledge her father's spiritual teachings. She even questioned whether or not her father had been honest with her about religion and God. At the Brook, she rebelled and pushed God farther from her thoughts. The Brook became her refuge from God, until one day, she just got tired of fighting.

The setting is the high rugged plateau of North Dakota where each summer Sundancers gather to reenact a ceremony that was given to the people of the northern plains so far in the past there are no written records. Dancing With The Sun is a collection of prose adapted from the author's journals compiled over a twelve year period at the Sun Dance on the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Reservation, Fort Berthold, North Dakota. It is a deeply personal and spiritual book filled with the rich imagery of the sacred Dance, the Sweat Lodge, the Vision Quest, the power of dreams, the attachments of friends, hope, courage, and characters who thrill, dismay and sometimes shock. Most of all it is a book about the land, a saga of place in the American landscape with a lovely and troubled history that serves as a reminder that one's past and place of birth leave an indelible stain on each of us.The book is organized into 5 sections, each section covering a particular aspect of the Sun Dance ceremony. Hanblechia (crying for a vision), Inipi (sweat lodge), Mitakuye Oyasin (all my relations), Wiwanyang Wacipi (they dance gazing at the sun), and Toksa Akhe (I'll see you again someday). . It is North Dakota, a kingdom of grass, rocky outcroppings, willow groves, and worn out boots turned upside down on fence posts. It is where the razor-breath of winter is never far away and has no love for summer. Cows are dark spots on the horizon, and the wind blows as much as in Kansas. There in the red - skirted majesty of the Sun Dance the people tell their tales.Mike Joseph relates how he smoked his pipe with the Dali Lima. Foolish Boy describes the Native American Church ceremony. Leland Dubois the Smoke Jumper speaks about forest fires. Richard from Canada laughs about the white guy when hunting who shot his own horse. Allen White explains how he played a savage in a movie. Lloyd Elm tells about the haunted masks of the Long House. Paul Goodiron enlightens with his stories of Swift Boats in Vietnam. Adam of the Missing Children describes riding a bike across America.The stories are haunting, powerful, poignant, and sensual, brooding tales of the modern West. Laying down sentences like trail dust, Rickard writes with insight and compassion about the fragility of Native lives, the tragedy of disappearing towns, howling-dog winters, and depressing drought. Like a pebble tossed into a pond, Rickard journeys outward from the center of his universe into wider and wider peripheries, constantly searching, a restless nomad who transcends his own culture without abandoning it, leaves but never forgets his beginnings.Dancing With the Sun is a grand and glorious Western landscape written by an artist, historian, philosopher and poet who experienced most of the 20th century. A compelling and compassionate odyssey where all come together in the sun-bleached bones of the dance.

The years immediately following World War II were a time of great change across America. In Kentucky, however, much remained the same. Three industries continued to dominate the Bluegrass State - bourbon, coal and "the sport of kings," thoroughbred racing. The Wellingtons - "the Commonwealth's first family" - had occupied center stage since Reconstruction, due in large part to generations of involvement in the state's political scene. For Bentley Wellington, wrapping up his second stint as governor, a fateful evening in San Francisco sets in motion events that, decades later, would embroil his family in an expanding web of scandal involving murder, sex, finance and elements of the underworld ... and ripple through multiple states and stretch to neighboring Canada as well as overseas to Germany's Rhineland.

It all started with a dream... and now, the journey continues. The scenes have been set; the characters introduced. The epilogue cliffhangers in book one, MARTINKA, left us dangling, so we start off book two, TOMMY, with some huge reveals. This tangled web will keep you on the edge of your seat, straight to the end! We find out who Lorenzo really is, reunite those that were separated unwillingly, and learn that the dead do not always stay dead. We travel back in time, with Tommy, to his beginning, back to the day when he was turned into a vampire. We will learn, not only that he's now been cursed, but we find out who created the "rock candy" he has been taking, what it's made of, and the fact that this bewitched burden he's now knee-deep in, is irreversible... or is it? Simultaneously, we also travel to another realm, where we find Martinka. There, we explore the mysteriously mystical vault, the magical rooms it holds, given entry... to only a few, and discover how Tink's starburst necklace is the key to answers that have long been preserved, awaiting her arrival. Just as there are many pieces to this puzzle that find their place, there are equally many questions and pieces to this jigsaw existence that are left unanswered, still. The climactic confrontation between the good guys and the bad guys is explosive, literally, and ends just as abruptly as it began. The first book took us from America, to the Czech Republic, Australia, Venezuela, Thailand, and ended up in Sardinia--Italy. In book two, we mainly stay in Sardinia--Italy, but travel to Prague--Czech Republic, Australia, our alternate realm--"Fairyland," and America, briefly. This book is narrated by eight characters, and as it winds down, we are left with five different epilogue cliffhangers, starting with Tommy, then Lorenzo, Madelina, Martinka, and last, but not by any means least, Demonica. Get ready to connect-the-dots, and to mystically be blown away! And yes, our tangled web is now growing... stay tuned, Demonica is on her way...

What does it take to change history? Dr. Jane Gaffey is a new breed of scientist-one who is able to experiment with history thanks to recent breakthroughs in computer technology-and she has one overarching question: What kind of change would be necessary to significantly alter the outcome of the surprise Japanese attack of December 7, 1941, which triggered America's entry into World War II? At a prestigious research institute, Gaffey is able to use the amazing new technology to insert volunteer Bill Baxter-a former Navy fighter pilot-directly into the complex, highly realistic computer simulation she has created. Baxter assumes the personality of Captain John Heinz, a young Marine Corps aviator on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he forms an unusual alliance with a bright but unconventional Navy enlisted man and the naval base librarian, an alluring Japanese-American woman. Their goal? To blunt not only the initial Japanese blow but also attacks on other American territories that will soon follow. As the experiment draws to a close, Dr. Gaffey must face the answer to her research question along with a new one: Will she be able to extract her volunteer from the simulated world of 1941?

Loves goes beyond comprehension. Many times in life the fundamentals of love is not enough. We need to know when it is time for us to go beyond what we see. Beyond what we feel. We need to know the what next. There is an answer or answers. Many times you find out things are not what you think or see or feel. Sometimes not as bad, sometimes a little or a lot worse than you see or know. You got to know, you want to know, what to do next, and, you know you can't do it alone. I may not have gone into every detail of what I did or classes I took, counseling I had and so on. I didn't because everyone has to find the right direction for them along the way. My purpose is to help point things out to you, so you too can get proper direction and you too can be at peace and have joy knowing that you are walking the way you should go. With proper direction you can see what the reality is. Not as one, two, three, four, five, follow these steps, but as genuine as you can be with yourself, inside and out. See what the, what next, and which way to go is right for you.

A Triumphant Experience Dealing with Crack Cocaine with My FRIEND, MY LOVER, MY HUSBAND. Mrs. Brown, in spite of self-denial old anxieties, memories, and pain, to rewrite her story from a Christian perspective about a victim's wife caught up in a drug culture. Brown now writes about the early years of her marriage absent of anger and hostility-redirecting the emotions of a wounded wife who wanted vengeance of her husband for creating years of suffering for her and the children. She has brought something new to her story after years of going through spousal drug recovery, mental healing, and finding God as the source of her strength. With an entirely different understanding of her past life, she can approach the story from the ways God was at work in all the drug-related difficulties create while her husband was dependent on crack cocaine. In finding the strength to overcome the warfare of the drug culture, the Browns found God during their family trials dealing with a crack addict. The crack cocaine epidemic within marriages and families has been the cause of many marital dysfunctions and dissolutions. She has taken the time to research and explain the physical and mental science of crack cocaine addiction to help others who are going through the same tragedy. To God be the Glory

I sincerely hope reading these memoirs gives you as much enjoyment as the events gave me, for the most part, when I was living through them.Human nature is timeless! Through an easy to read, entertaining style this collection of short stories has been written to memorialize what people have actually said, and more importantly done, in the workplace. Management reaction to employee survey results and tales of Company sponsored employee medical insurance are includedOften hilarious, occasionally sad, revealing and true these stories prove that one cannot expect too much or, in occasional cases, too little from certain people.In environments ranging from textile mills in the deep South to prisons in New York City and in communications with corporate officers of multi-billion-dollar international firms to employees in the warehouse these events actually occurred!From union negotiations to handling an attorney representing an employee there are hundreds of "How To" examples. Read, enjoy and apply these techniques in your dealings with people. They really do work!

Traditional science holds that everything that exists starts with matter, but this undocumented belief must be false, according to Quantum Mechanics. It has to be! QM demonstrates that - There is no such thing as matter or space or time - A conscious observer is a necessary condition for anything to exist. - There is only subjectivity without any objective truth. - The world we experience, therefore, must be an illusion, like a holodeck program or a virtual game. And no one disputes the conclusions of this mysterious science-Quantum Mechanics underlies all of reality. This virtual experience we are having is nevertheless alive and conscious and deliberately makes choices. Life has always been latent in the universe; every species is aware, intelligent, and chooses; and existence-according to spiritual and scientific conclusions alike-is one unified evolving and emerging intelligent being, purposefully partnering with the universe in influencing what it is to become. Sound strange? What is far stranger is the materialist notion that existence burst forth out of absolutely nothing! That's why this book "matters." The life we live is not based in some mindless and mechanical machine. The life we live is filled with purpose and meaning, and we humans have work to do to bring our world along. Join in on this astonishing unfolding journey which we participate in fashioning: The Greatest Story Ever Told!

Perspective is a filter.One hundred twenty-two years have passed since Earth's destruction, and Humanity lives within the grand interstellar colonies of the Hegemony. Progress is driven by fear of another collapse, and selective breeding ensures each generation is better than the last. The militarization of children is used as a method of payment to the government for providing their every need. The next generation of child soldiers is drafted during the prosperous reign of the Second Hegemon, but the rise of a terrorist group and an unexpected murder throws history down an entirely new path, bringing up the remnants of Earth's past.

This is the exciting and sometimes surprising life of Rev. Judith Ann Beaumont, RCWP. In the seven completed decades of her life she lived with extraordinary courage as she followed her conscience in prophetic obedience and, when necessary, prophetic disobedience. She lived her everyday life completely in service to God and her neighbors, without exception. As we seek to lead lives of meaning and service, her life is a beacon to show us the way. And a good portion of her days also included suffering with serious health issues including four cancers. Yet her eyes were on God and following Christ in "body broken, blood poured out", simply in her loving gift of herself. She was a Benedictine Sister for 34 years, a peace activist, "jailbird", prison reformer, justice seeker and provider of new life for the homeless and those at the margins, and for me her partner in life and ministry. Her ultimate act of courage was to be ordained a Roman Catholic Woman Priest in 2012. Much of this account is autobiographical as her own writing and words are used wherever possible. This is a faithful and authentic account of her life of love, compassion and prophetic obedience. The reader will be inspired and challenged to move beyond ordinary comfort zones to lead lives of love and courage with an attitude of gratitude. To take a chance on growth and a new level of satisfaction read and share this account of an extraordinary life!

At the end of all creation, when Hell is unleashed on Earth, the Bible foretells of seven years of tribulation. For those humans not taken in the Rapture, they are left to fend for themselves as those years pass without ceasing. Amidst the chaos of a demon infested world, full of giant Nephilim, grotesque abominations, and zombies, Judy Bishop fights to save her children with the help of a rogue angel and an artificial life form with a mind of her own.Roger Wilco's thrilling Heaven's End blends the mystical elements of biblical scripture with the temporal aspects of a modern sci-fi drama. By exploring the potential of a hybridization between celestial magic and human technology, the novel both examines the secrets of biblical lore while entertaining readers with an exciting postapocalyptic story that rails against God's decreed fate for humanity.

The most important “1-unit elective” about career preparation and job recruiting that they never taught you in college.If you’re a college student looking to maximize your chances at landing your dream job in the business world, you need to know everything that is in this book. In a world of noise, I’ve written a concise yet comprehensive guide that puts together all the must-know pieces required to land solid job offers BEFORE you graduate.No matter what stage you’re at in college, this book is meant to be a quick read so that you can have a clear game plan to become a high-caliber job applicant. This is NOT a guide written by random authors or college counselors (I mean come on, if they’re so good at landing top-tier jobs, why are they writers or advisors instead of crushing it in the industry??). Instead, it is written by a Millennial who has intimately gone through the recruiting process for internships and jobs from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, and everything in between, and I’ve written this book simply as a way to give back to the next generation (so that you don’t have to make all the same mistakes made by me or my peers). It’s THE guide that touches on all must-know topics so that you don’t need to look elsewhere to try to figure everything out from scratch. This book not only saves you a ton of time, but gives you all the tools and insights required to execute quickly to help you get a high-paying job offer before you graduate college -- no matter where you’re from, or what your background is, this is a must-read.The book also includes a variety of exercises to put theory into practice, and ends with a Capstone Project that gives you a comprehensive gameplan to go and execute on your goals.Not to mention, it's a fun read :)

Dan Patterson has his own voice: controlled, thoughtful and imbued with a kind of sad wisdom. He writes poems for himself and the seclusive reader that can potentially be anyone. He wants to connect with others, but in the intimate manner found within the quietness of contemplation. "Dominion" and so many other poems in this collection speak directly to the reader in the tone of voice that emanates from humanity's capacity for love and kindness. It is the extreme positive thought and action that often gets lost in today's brutal reality. It's the heart of a poet trying to secure a safe place for the fragile spider in "Bookstore". This poet values the actual shape of the text on the page. He sees a connection between its physical form and the poem's inherent expression. Poetry readings are more for poets who want to be performers, want to entertain. The voice of Dan Patterson may be the one you hear inside your head; it may be your own. --Johnny Case, Fort Worth, Texas, Jazz PianistThe imagery in the poetry of "Terrain" is a powerful witness to humanity's longing to encompass the whole of life experiences, the blending of the mortal with the eternal, the sensitivity of the human with the natural, and the ever extracting meditative music within our souls. These poems strum the chords of thought and take us to a place of reflective peace. "Terrain" provides a grounded balance for whichever path on which we find ourselves. --(Rev.) Hector M. Medina, Arlington, Texas
