What if coins could talk?In The Adventures of Lucky and Nicky they can! And much more!

This book Lucky Gets Trapped in a Penny Loafer finds our coins in an unusual situation. As Lucky and Nicky are racing down the sidewalk, Lucky sees a boy running towards them. Let ''s get out of here! shouts Lucky. Timmy chases the coins until they slow down and fall over with exhaustion. He scoops them up and runs towards his mother. He is very excited because he knows coins are valuable and plans to add them to his piggy bank. But his mother has a better idea for Lucky. She shows Timmy how to put the coin between the flaps of his penny loafer. Lucky is trapped. Later that night while Timmy is sleeping, Nicky finds Lucky sad and frightened under the bed. Unable to free him, Nicky dashes off looking for help. Soon, he finds Diana, a beautiful young dime. She tells Nicky I don''t think I can be much help, but my father will help you. She yells, father, come quickly! Out of the crack in the wall, like a locomotive coming through a tunnel, appears a big and powerful 50 cent piece called Mr. Jack. Nicky leads Diana and her father to Lucky. Soon Lucky will be free. I hope to write more books involving Lucky and his friends.

Most people who enjoy reading have had good reading habits introduced and modeled for them by family members, educators, and peers. When children see others reading for interest and enjoyment, it can inspire them to become better readers. However, for many elementary school children, reading on grade level remains one of the greatest life skill challenges they face. This negatively impacts their mental health and future success academically, socially, and economically. Franklin, the main character in this book serves as a model for young students to discover the wonder of words and reading. He becomes inspired to improve his reading and spelling abilities to earn a new favored item for school. The Adventures Of Franklin In Philly Town takes its young readers on a neighborhood journey with Franklin as he encounters a problem earning this item and tries to figure out what to do. Eventually, he receives some much needed advice and a new perspective on reading, spelling, and learning.

This book primarily addresses the negative effects that harsh words can cause in the lives of children. For many years I have observed dumb things some parents say to their children, yet they somehow don't connect their children's negative behaviors with their words. I want to show that words have power to hurt or to heal. I have offered some very practical ways to modify the negative behavior, so that the children's invisible wounds can be healed and not simply covered up. Parents, I urge you to speak life over your children every day. If you don't like the fruit, then check the root. Parents should read this book, as well as those who work with children. There are too many broken arrows out there - let's fix them.

Some choose to use words as weapons, while others prefer to use them for medicinal purposes. Hearts + Words will serve you a little of both. This collection of poetry will open the floodgates of your emotions, taking you down a path full of love, heartbreak, and human enlightenment. Brazenly sardonic, yet playfully mischievous, Elies N. Deceit exposes the simplicities of falling in love, the necessity of living life to the fullest, while focusing on the importance of showing simple appreciation to all living things.

The basic draft of the trilogy, Love Beneath the Mighty Dome, was begun in 1990 and completed around 1995, years before the brutal sex scandals involving pedophilia among clergy (and its accompanying cover-up by the ruling clergy) broke in the archdioceses of Boston and New York. There is no attempt here to take advantage of such tragic and horrific events. But, aside from these matters, the work of fiction presented in these three volumes is merely an attempt to depict the clergy in a fair and just manner-the heroes and the villains. Any seeming imbalance is due to the reality of the subject and not any injustice on the part of the author. The underlying question here is, does the Roman Catholic Diocesan Clergy truly fulfill the plan Jesus of Nazareth had in mind when he chose his most trusted followers-the wealth, the glamour, the pomposity of it all? After all, wasn't it highly placed churchmen who, in effect, put a contract out on this Jesus of Nazareth, a contract haltingly accepted by a particularly savage militaristic occupying power? And would it be so cataclysmically devastating to allow the clergy to marry-to live in a manner consistent with the rest of humanity? Why not allow women to enter programs of priestly formation? Why this on-going exclusion of women? Is it fear? Loathing? Contempt? Clumsiness? Is it really because Jesus chose only male companions or is there something else at work these two millennia later? Are women still thought of as a defilement of the sanctuary? As long as the high priests refuse to reform the inner sanctum of the Catholic Church (the priesthood, those indispensable dispensers of the sacraments) there will forever and always be these needless and destructive scandals-scandals that are gravely damaging to the moral authority of the entirety of the Catholic Church. For the clergy are not the Church. They are a tiny part of it-its servants, no less. When a child's life is destroyed where is the love? What happened
