This book of poems was prompted by the author's separation from his wife during the pandemic (family medical care) and his despair of events unfolding in 2020. It includes poetry written during the virus, as well as from throughout his life which are pertinent to today's topics, such as societal ills during the COVID-19 lockdown-faith, drug abuse, war, racism, love, and sexual issues. The book has both Christian and secular influence.This book is a reaction to the viciousness of our treatment of each other as humans, and the hypocrisy of the Church and the government. The author looks past our shortcomings to an optimism, remembering that to be a genuine human being is to have conviction and courage.

Psychology professor and pop culture junkie Ashley McKennitt didn't plan to end up in the middle of a murder investigation. But when her best friend Cait's recently promoted homicide detective brother wants to pick her brain, Ashley jumps at the chance to gain real world insight into psychopathic behaviors. That's her first mistake. While Detective Jesse Malone is busy trying to validate his theory that a recent murder is connected to an unsolved cold case, Ashley notices that two recent murders have something in common: it appears the killer staged each scene, as though leaving clues for the detectives to solve a riddle, and those clues seem to illustrate the lyrics of popular songs. Could her encyclopedic knowledge of music really help Detective Malone catch a killer? Ashley's ego says yes, and she's hooked. Misstep number two.By the time it's clear that a serial killer is prowling the streets of Sacramento, the clues left behind begin to hint at the next murder, and those murders start happening more frequently. While Detective Malone and his partner work frantically to find the killer and stop the rising body count, the killer starts a new game: stalking Ashley. Meanwhile, investigative journalist Cait is caught up in her own tangled mess involving a crooked Las Vegas casino owner suspected of money laundering, racketeering, and running a stolen car ring out of West Sacramento. The more it looks as though Cait's on-again, off-again boyfriend is somehow involved, the more determined Cait is to prove his innocence. As winter descends on the valley and the days grow shorter, Ashley and Cait find hope in short supply.

Jose Luis Fernandez fought an underground war against the dictator of Cuba, Fulgencio Batista, late 1950s. Jose was imprisoned and tortured twice, but he never stopped believing in the cause, he never stopped believing in the revolution, he never stopped believing in their leader, Comandante Fidel Castro. After succeeding against Batista, Jose found himself close enough to Fidel Castro to realize his life had changed, but it was not for what he had fought for.This is where I come in. I was about a year old when Jose Luis Fernandez, my father, had to change his life fast, not only for himself but for his family. I was almost twelve when we left Cuba with experiences that no one should carry through their life. As a young woman, I realized there was an incredible story and secrets that my dad had carried with him for years. It took him a long time to tell me piece by piece, and now I understand why. It took me a while, but connecting dots, I got our story.
As you will see, this book is about my encounter with the Dark. I have looked into the face of Satan himself. Tragically, through all my sin, including two abortions and my complete rejection of our Lord Jesus Christ, I ultimately invited Satan and his cohorts into my soul. I know that is what they tried to do even when I was a child, but it was only through my actions that they were successful. I went through three exorcisms, and as you will see, the last one set me "e;free"e; from the grips of the Dark. Father Martin shared his account of the final exorcism with you in the "e;Foreword"e; of this book because I, myself, know that I wouldn't believe it if it weren't for his testimony. I endured years of torment, and I wanted to share my story with you, as I give Jesus Christ all the glory. He never let me go as He promises in the Bible. My childhood was very difficult as I am sure that many of you have experienced, as well. My father was a career Marine, and he truly suffered. I have shared his story with you in the book, including the complete devastation of his court-martial after fifteen years of service. I also wanted to share this with you because I believe that my experience with the evil one actually began when I was about six years old due to the many traumatic experiences I endured.I hope you will read this book as I know we all suffer in one way or another, and I hope this story will bring you to hope in the mercy of God for your life and to help you through any sufferings that you may be enduring.
Alaska Secession synopsis:Two men who have been working closely together for several months are killed unexpectedly two days apart. One by an assassin's bullet to the forehead as he was driving to work and the other by a hellfire missile launched from a predator UAV as he was taking off from a lake in his floatplane. Cooper Nelson, retired air force fighter pilot and newly hired bush plane pilot for Kate Westbrooke, Alaska's new reporter from the National Business Review, was at the lake with Kate when the incident happened. He immediately recognized the attack was intentional.Cooper and Kate quickly discover the meeting was being held in secret, or nearly so, and that the more than sixty people present at the lake were involved in the beginning stages of a statewide effort to convince their fellow Alaskan's to join them in a movement to secede Alaska from the United States. In fact, they were the guest's of honor as well as the next targets of the killers working to derail the secession movement before it can really get started.Without notice Cooper becomes the new "e;temporary"e; leader of the secession movement that will lead him all the way to Washington D.C. and a tense face - to - face meeting with a hostile US Government. Standing alone, with his life in the balance, the entire world watches it unfold live when Cooper explains why secession is the right answer for Alaska.
At the tender age of thirteen, Xshay Rankins was made to witness the murder of his father, Daniel Rankins. He himself was allowed to be spared as a walking example to all those who would oppose his father's murderer. But what his father's murderer didn't know was that instead of lowering the number of his enemies, he inadvertently made another one-one that would someday be responsible for his downfall.When Xshay Rankins first began committing murders, it was for vengeance, until he realized he liked it. And the more pleasure he gained from committing murder, the more sadistic his mind began to think. While having his hands full trying to take down Bruce Harrington, a.k.a. Boss, a man who was trying to become a living legend by committing the most horrendous murders known to man, Xshay also had to avoid being captured by Detective Tom Marshall, someone whom he believed had never closed his eyes without first closing a case.
The Voice of the Voiceless was created to be its title, a microphone for the audio-muted or a voice for the introverted souls. Also meant to entertain warm hearts and hopefully, inspire the lives of many. I pray that every reader recognizes the power of thought and practical application of works. As we all know, zero plus zero equals zero, nothing from nothing leaves nothing; wishing and hoping isn't enough. It will never spark the flame of reality, it will merely pacify the falsehood of illusions and fantasies. It starts with a thought carried by your vision, which turns your thoughts into words and then your words become flesh. Everything starts with self. Your attitude will affect your aptitude and altitude. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to. The most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, "e;We must not condemn a dirty glass, but simply place a clean glass next to it."e; I pray my works have been as such and that you all enjoy reading.
The book is about love letters to God. I write about angels, love, and hate in the world. I write about my feelings about dying and even respect.It is a small book but a great read!
"e;What if my daughter had lived? Rachel-would she have looked like Jay's daughters? She died because of me."e;Lord Jim Fausscyn. Spare to the heir. Unprovided for. Must make his own way. Naval career first. Then His Majesty's foreign service. Luckily, he'd won the pulchritudinous Rana, whose huge endowment of South African investments would keep them afloat. She'd also the rectitude of six Caesar's wives! Although the bloody-mindedness of a child age nine. Childish nightmares too, hadn't she once mentioned?Yes, they'd married, she warning him beforehand that adultery wouldn't be tolerated. She'd meant it, her first husband having been a notorious womanizer. Her second husband should've been faithful if not to find himself in punishing pain. Now bloke in a choke hold, brawny bloke down for the count. His noble Pa threatened to disown him. She herself threatened to leave him unless he shaped up pronto! Career in ruins too. Would he lose everything? Lose his sons? Chap on his knees. Chap driven to prayer though he'd not trusted to prayer since boyhood.Family man pressing on-chastened chappie will muddle through. Rana struggles too. She and Jim hardly mesh; it's jarring, even hilarious! Seriously though, why's she so phobic? And what really happened to Rachel's mum? Lost her mind, losing her baby? Occasionally even Rana weeps, wondering.This story, taking place in the midtwentieth century, is both serious and humorous. Foibles, idiosyncrasies, the utterly unexpected of silliness, irony upon irony, from intimate disaster to spiritual redemption. There's a mystery of deceit and lies, or well-meant misdirection. Crucial names get changed-so who's who? The younger generation is protected till truth must out. Forgiveness remains the issue.
Sweet, sassy, and sour--the 3 S's most girls between the ages of seven to sixteen years old have been called or accused of being at least once. My name is Laylah Tyrell and I would have the honor of mastering all three before turning the ripe age of thirteen. Not bragging on anything negative of course, because those who knew me understood me and those who think they knew me, ended up labeling me as a troublemaker or the black sheep of the family. I was extremely observant at a very young age, somewhat bashful, but didn't much get pass me unless I wanted it to. That's why it came as a bit of a surprise when I learned my mom and stepdad wanted to send this city girl to the country, to avoid getting in more trouble and possible jail time.I admit, I did some wrong; possibly some unspeakable things growing up, but I was also forced to deal with a lot of things children my age shouldn't be exposed to, and I guess that made me hostile or as I would like to call it, "e;tough enough."e;You see I was abused and abandoned at the age of seven, abused by the son of a family friend and abandoned by my biological father, and although that does not excuse the wrong I did, it had much to do with me spiraling out of control as a teenager and hurting others along the way. The hurt, betrayal, suicidal thoughts, all these emotions would lead to behaviors that would fuel me for a decade to come. In Mind | Tammy Crumb

The book from the author's perspective is about someone who came to golf late. He has a conflicted look back in time when he began playing golf, knowing now he did not see the whole picture but only that he wanted to play golf. No consideration of what playing golf would entail. He knows very well a clear-headed and well-thought-out approach to start playing golf probably would have stymied or created mental crutches rather than playing golf. He would have discovered reasons not to play. He obviously did not think of the "e;driver first"e; approach-to start with the driver and find out what to expect going forward. The bulk of the book is not about golf. It is about being an adult when he decided to start playing golf. Some of what happened on and off the golf course. It is not about the fine points of a good golf game.

This is the fourth book in a series by the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. This scribe is privileged to continue carrying out the duties of His work as it appears. Thank you, Lord!The main goal of these books is to establish and increase the "e;connective awareness"e; of humanity between science and religion in the world and invite the two to work together to unfold the mysteries of God and His creation so that in the final analysis, both will be able to help all of God's creation, especially the human race who lives in the middle of cosmic struggles between good and evil in these confusing times.Today we are dominated by science and its innovations. But has science released humanity from the fundamental inclinations of religion, or rather has religion and religious influences predetermined the motivations of science? Do mathematical laws of science religiously underlie the explanation of the phenomenon that is observable fact or event? What is the purpose of religion? Is it only to teach the knowledge of God, but not science? It may be that experimental, scientific, religious philosophy could make us better-informed scientists and Christians.The seventeenth-century Roman Catholic scientist and professor Fr. Galileo Galilei pointed out that the purpose of religion is to teach the knowledge of God. What did we accomplish with the separate teachings of religion and the study of science throughout the ages? Did they help each other during the last seven thousand years? Today, is there unity or an entanglement between them? Is God the source of all scientific and religious order in the world? Can science answer the questions of religion, or rather, can religion attempt to answer scientific questions? Do the Holy Scriptures and scientific inquiries provide all the answers to our questions? Is there a relationship between religion and science? Do religion and science complement each other, and if not, why is that?The questions listed above are only some of them. No answers are yet being provided. What about the involvement of mind work to explain the relationship between faith and reason? Humanity likes to see science and religion united and working together to provide credible answers. After all, in the beginning, they were for the works of God on this earth and in the universe. The astonishing days of the Creator are approaching steadily, slowly, day by day. We long for answers with our conscious hearts so that we can gain presence with the Divine Light. It is presentation time!The nineteenth-century Scottish Catholic scientist, the great physicist since Isaac Newton, a professor at the University of Cambridge, James Clark Maxwell, who wrote his first scientific paper at the age of fourteen and died at the early age of forty-eight, declared scientifically that the universe is continuously surged with electromagnetic waves. Their speed of travel is the same as the speed of light. His proven theoretical equations were revealed for the first time in the world and showed that electricity-magnetism-light is one and the same manifestation in the material universe. Upon his death, he was not buried in Westminster Abbey like Isaac Newton was, but he had not minded it at all, not even a bit! He said, "e;The works of the Lord are great! Sort out all of them that have pleasure therein."e;Happy is the man who sees that science and religion are one and the same. According to the great scientist Max Planck, a man who does serious scientific work, knows that "e;over the doors of the Temple of Science you must have faith!"e;Creator God is the source of all order in the universe. He is exact; look around and see. There is a field in and around the universe surrounding His creation. It is the heartfelt wish of this scribe that humanity shall see it one day and then never lose the investigative desires of their hearts and minds. "e;Faith"e; and "e;reason"e; of religion and science are one and the same in the eyes of God. They come from the same creative force of His. One day in the near future, they will be united and presented on earth as one. That is the way it is above, and so it will be the fact on earth below. This is the Divine Plan of the Divine Lawgiver, the Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient God Almighty!
