Darcy Michaels is ecstatic to travel to Somerset with her grandmother, the woman who raised her since she was not much more than a toddler. Somerset, a quaint town in upstate New York, appears serene and welcoming, like something out of a Thomas Kinkade painting. Who wouldn't want to live here? Upon her arrival, Darcy feels as though she has traveled back to the 1900s. Her grandmother grew up here. Why would anyone want to leave?Darcy soon discovers the quaint facade masks a treacherous turmoil. Everyone, while friendly enough, seems to be hiding something. Doc Ben, gram's first date; Matt Sullivan, gram's first love; Dennis Sullivan, the man Darcy has fallen for; and even Gram herself-all seem to be holding something back. Darcy realizes her arrival has stirred up a hornet's nest of activity. She receives veiled threats indicating she should leave. But why? She never even heard of Somerset until a month ago when shortly after her grandfather's passing, Gram mentioned she'd like to travel back to her childhood home. The townspeople all want to get close to Darcy as though she holds the secret that will destroy their peaceful existence. Maybe they believe that Darcy knows the truth Gram holds close to her heart. Darcy soon uncovers it all. She learns that sometimes deception is to protect the innocent.

Layla the dragon's first day at kindergarten didn't go as well as she expected. She had trouble making friends. Even though she wasn't enjoying school, she was able to go back the next day with the help of her mom. Layla was surprised at what she saw on the second day of school.

KARMA encompasses the twelve laws of existence that govern our lives. They are spiritual guidelines that can help us maneuver through this life. Our actions can ultimately decide our fate. In this story, we follow the fate of an aspiring young Filipino boy and his dysfunctional family living in the 1970s. Their pursuit of love, significance, and security is a deep human need that is present in all of us. Being a Christian does not necessarily make one impervious to the seductive idolatries of this world. In actuality, Christians usually struggle mightily with their faith and have much to lose. It is human nature to fall, to falter, oftentimes failing to fully comprehend why. It is by design. Only by understanding KARMA can we avoid life's deleterious pitfalls. But without enlightenment, forgiveness, and redemption through God's grace, we will never find true peace and fulfillment in this earthly life of ours and beyond.

We have all been there. A point that can send our lives in one direction or the other. This is a point where we can either continue the way we have been living or branch out, take a chance, and seek more out of life. The Long Road North chronicles this juncture in Quentin Super's life. His memoir takes us through various stages that many people have experienced: partying, promiscuity, emptiness, and eventually a desire for something more. For Super, this "e;something more"e; entailed riding his bicycle through the grueling Minnesota winter with his best friend during their spring break in March 2015. Together, they rode eight hundred miles from St. Cloud, Minnesota, into Canada, all the way to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Once they finished their time in the major metropolis, they turned around and went all the way back. Captured in this book is just how difficult the journey was from a physical, mental, and emotional perspective. The raw honesty will draw tears. The mesmerizing storytelling will keep readers engaged. But the lengths Super went to find out more about himself and the world will inspire a generation.

My book of jokes and riddles could be described as spicy and debaucherous that wouldn't be for everyone. But I assume that on this day and age, such qualities are superfluous as long as the literature is creative and artistic. My inspiration for the book began after getting into a series of jokes and riddles match with a co-worker at a restaurant where I've worked at. Everyone there encouraged me to write it all down on a paper and create a book. After twelve years of compiling jokes and riddles, with much time on my hands, I've finally formed a book for publication.

Poor Capone. His owner, Fallon, who loves him so much, forgets he's a dog. He has no choice but to ask all his friends to help him tell Fallon he's a dog and loving it.

Bedtime Stories from the Land of Imagination is a set of six delightful fantasy stories written to spark the imagination of children from ages three to eight years old. The stories were written by Christian author Linda Hoard and inspired by her own precious grandchildren as they traveled the US in their luxury RV with their parents as storm chasers, that is, with the parents having occupations as insurance adjusters following major US hurricanes, hail storms, and floods. Linda, a life-long follower of Jesus Christ, writes bedtime stories for the very young with pearls of wisdom embedded in each. Her short stories encourage healthy childhood behavior, respect for parents, caring, sharing, kindness, and love. Linda is committed to writing books that matter with knowledge gained through years of personal study in the behavioral sciences, pointing to the fact that as the twig is bent . . . so grows the tree. It matters greatly how we treat our gifts from God, our children, as well as how we instruct these precious treasures who are our American legacy. "e;The apple does not fall far from the tree."e;

Like his father who gambled on the cards, All-in (don't call him Allan) gambled in life and, true to the name bequeathed to him by his reckless father, jumped at every opportunity to go for broke. Freed from the drudgery of his college experience by a call to duty in the air force during the Vietnam war in 1968, he set to work to make himself a domestic version of the famous war correspondent Ernie Pyle. Mentored by the publisher of the famous newspaper the Territorial Enterprise, where Mark Twain a hundred years previously invented himself, All-in established his journalistic and literary credentials. Along the way, he met a gorgeous blonde, provided refuge for his crazy father, supported his struggling mother, and coached a young soldier to manhood. While awaiting deployment to Southeast Asia, he found purpose and meaning in his life. Like Mark Twain, he joyfully skirted the line between fact and fiction, ultimately deciding no line at all was needed.

Vietnam Revisited shares the personal stories of America's sons and daughters who fought the most unpopular war in our nation's history. They answered America's call to arms to fight the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. While antiwar sentiment and protests raged at home, many Americans volunteered to serve in the Vietnam War. Many were drafted. But the Vietnam veterans and Vietnam-era veterans put their lives on the line to do their nation's bidding. And when they returned home, they came back to an ungrateful nation. Many returning military members were shunned verbally and physically. They were called baby killers and murderers for their service. To right our past wrongs, the United States government proclaimed a commemoration of fifty years since the end of the Vietnam War. This inspired the author of Vietnam Revisited to interview Vietnam veterans and Vietnam-era veterans weekly since January 2015.

Before the Cock Crows is a prophetic look into the spiritual eyes of the bride of Christ in her slow decline into apostasy. In her naivete, God's beloved boldly boasts how she will never forsake the Lord. Yet her reflection in the mirror at this time bears a striking resemblance to the apostle Peter in the precise moments prior to his denying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not once, but on three separate occasions. This book is biblical in nature with a solid backbone of scriptures to back up and support the heavy weight of such critical subject matter as what will be the role of the Holy Spirit of God as compared to Christian believers during the time of the rule of the Antichrist; an explanation of what the mark on the forehead of God's sheep is; God's holy temples present, past, and future; how to spiritually eat the word of God; why a solo and intimate walk with God is so imperative in these latter days; spiritual transformation and renewal; and lastly, how all of these topics tie into the upcoming apostasy predicted by Jesus Christ so very long ago. Indeed, the cock will crow for the Christian Church, just as it crowed for Peter so very long ago. Although there have been many books published on the subject of apostasy throughout the years, Before the Cock Crows not only forewarns against and prepares its readers for the upcoming apostasy, but also teaches them how to develop a deep and intimate relationship with God along the way. This book is meant to reach a broad Christian audience, but more importantly this book was meant for such a time as this.

New Orleans has a reputation: the food, the fun, and the festivals! The Saints, the Superdome! The river, the raucous party life, casinos, crawfish, king cake, and Mardi Gras krewes. To many in the Gulf South, New Orleans brings to mind the tragedy of Katrina, now eleven years after a flooded city, no one forgetting and some still recovering. Jamey Kavanaugh had come to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, but more than that, to escape a life that in twenty years never took her outside the neighborhood in Queens. Mom's verbal abuse and lack of concern for her physical needs, the sexual stuff from Jake, Mom's live-in, had taken its toll. She left the Big Apple on New Year's Eve and never looked back. An unfortunate yet vicious assault on a policeman on her first day in town kept her alert for any hint of being discovered in the Big Easy. The ferry that took her to Jackson Street in Uptown promised some hope for starting anew. The people she met in the Deep South washed away the cold and crass clouds of her northern nightmare. An unassuming and sweet boyfriend, a gracious Cuban couple, considerate and compassionate new friends, an elderly sophisticate from Lake Charles, and others change Jamey. In less than a year, the future brightens for what was a ''take what you want 'cause the world owes you"e; millennial.

That everybody is different is truism as is. Some succeed in the world and others don't. Many found resistance to them and only accomplished a modicum of success; some had a great deal of resistance and lost their minds or life, but none in my book, except two, had to experience the speed of life as it is today. President Obama seems to have been sensitive to the artists and showmen regarding their legacies and had several groups on public TV channels with special shows. The productions at the White House have given guests a charge if they needed it. Obama, in attending to his own legacy, has certainly helped theirs.

The past year has been unsettling for Robin. First, the divorce of her parents after almost forty years of marriage, and then her husband's job, which has consumed every second of his life, not leaving much room for their relationship. With her husband's job transferring them to Corpus Christi, Robin must make a decision: should she move again and start a new life or divorce her husband and start all over again. She plans a trip to Corpus to look at houses with a short detour along the way-a community called Conquer where her mother now resides in hopes that her mother can offer guidance in the future of her life. After making, what she suspects, a wrong turn and a little car trouble, she arrives at Conquer. No cell phone service, strange people, and unable to locate her mom, she stops for lunch to figure out her next move. Little did she know it would be the last thing she would remember until later, much later. She wakes that evening to find she's been held captive, against her will, and must abide by their rules in order to survive. As time goes by, she makes new friends. Some close, some distant. The one that gives her new hope is Charles, the man who reminds her of her husband-the man she married, not the man she was married to. Through time, feelings would grow between them, feelings they couldn't leave behind. As months go by, people disappear, a suicide happens, a dead body is found. All Robin knows is she must get out, but whom can she trust? It would seem like forever before an escape plan is in order. When the big day comes, the person she trusted the most will be the one who lets her down. The experiences she endures will help her conquer her fears and animosities in the life she once lived before Conquer.

A Message to My Black People: Stop Being the Nigga in America, first of all, is not meant to anger or disparage anyone. I wrote this book to help my people understand that we can do things a whole lot better as a people in order to earn and gain the respect as a people that we feel we deserve. Our slave ancestors endured too much for too long for us not to respect and reflect upon that and to make ourselves better. Our people and others devoted to the cause during the civil rights era fought tirelessly to earn equal rights and respect for our people for that to be disregarded. I do not want our people to take certain rights and privileges for granted and not understand the full purpose behind them. What I say in this book is how a lot of our people feel but are probably afraid to say, especially in a public forum. A lot of us may fall into certain categories mentioned in the book or know someone who does. The goal is not to insult anyone but to bring to light that he or she or they can do things better to uplift our people and help remove all the negative stereotypes placed upon us by other races. Please take the time and read each section thoroughly to get my full message. If you agree with my points, great. If not, try to really evaluate why and see if there is anything you can do to at least understand where I am coming from when I mention the things that I do. It is time for us as a people to take responsibility of our actions and better ourselves, improve our image, and stop being the scapegoat for problems in America. It is time to stop being the nigga in America!

Metamodern Leadership outlines the seven values that identify the character of our future leaders based on the circumstances that make the Millennial Generation who they are. It is at once an attempt to implore youth to seize their potential by tying their values to ancient wisdom, as well as a warning to everyone else to understand the impacts of disregarding the inevitable tendencies of a very distinct new demographic. This is the untold story of the personal responsibility required of the Millennial Generation, against the messaging and memes that portray them as entitled and lazy. It is an optimistic and pragmatic interpretation on the leadership mandates in the near future. The ancient virtue of leadership required broad knowledge as the basis for critical thinking and self-examination. The late twentieth century required myopic versions of leadership, which neglected the truths of centuries of wisdom. Our younger generations will lead and follow based on new foundations that seem counterintuitive to most yet will be the status quo within a decade. This distinction will lead to pragmatism and problem solving for the future rather than the dogma and gridlock of today. We will require a generation of leaders who can once again link the complexities of the future with the ancient wisdom of progress.

In this fascinating study encompassing a period of rapid growth and change, a cruise director looks back over a career that spanned twenty-five years on some of the best-known luxury ships of the second half of the twentieth century, including ten years aboard Cunard's famous ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2. Peter Longley fell into the industry by accident in 1978, at a time when it could be said that cruising was exclusively for the rich and famous. Longley traces this form of travel from its imperial passengers sailing the lifelines of empires to the fabulous world cruises that attracted eccentric passengers. Here, life and challenges both above and below decks are explored on these floating cities at sea that still hold myths of the past as they leap into the future. From gala buffets to labor disputes, from entertaining royalty to evacuation at sea, Longley takes you there. You will go from dry docks to exciting ports of call, interspersed with anecdotes of an extraordinary lifestyle. You will also witness murder at sea, stowaways, and the sorting of garbage. See how technology changed shipboard pastimes, and how the jet plane changed itineraries and entertainment, and how the computer changed everything. Finally, take a look at cruising today with over four hundred ships plying the seven seas. Learn how a few corporations now run the industry, and vacations range from voyages on mass-market mega ships to luxury river cruisers.

Tell Them for Me is a book of evidence that we are a spirit being, not only a physical being. The death of Brian from the Vietnam War was the beginning of a spiritual awareness-when an angelic messenger came to Mary Pat the night before Brian's funeral and made the announcement through her grief that, "e;Jesus has a reason for you."e; This experience is only one of many that records the truth of a spiritual kingdom in which Jesus Christ is Lord. Mary Pat shared a bold supernatural fight of faith when her one-year-old baby girl became paralyzed by a malignant cancer: a neuroblastoma in her spine. Mary Pat cast out a demonic spirit of cancer and saw it leave her child's back in the name of Jesus through His holy blood; her daughter was healed. Growing up in a home where domestic violence, child abuse, and alcoholism were experienced, Tell Them for Me shows that family dysfunction has no preference to social class, and spirit can overcome any physical or emotional trauma on earth. Tell Them for Me also resounds with grace for forgiveness when relationships fail or life may seem overwhelming. Joy prevails through the love of a God Who created us in His image and does not leave us.
