No one who grew up during the Depression deserved to suffer children who belonged both to the Baby Boom and X generations, but William and Joan Gallagher did; nine, over sixteen years, and did they suffer. How these two fine, moral people produced children who committed larceny, engaged in strange sex, used cremated remains as confetti and got haircuts at the Port Authority Bus Terminal is beyond explanation. Arrogant, tribal, bloodthirsty and sweet, the Gallagher children would only be on each other’s teams, and while seemingly a world apart from their parents, they shared more than heavy eyebrows over gorgeous eyes

New Evolution in Codependency Treatment
This book speaks to the need for an evolving treatment approach to a serious disorder that has previously been primarily addressed from a behavioral perspective. Awakening Hope is based on the premise that Codependency stems from early attachment disruptions, leading to ongoing anxious and avoidant attachment styles. These styles create a series of defensive behaviors in response to a foundational distrust of attachment that pervades every relationship. The frequent perceptions of attachment threat can lead to serious depletion of the adrenal system, and results in systemic and chronic illness. Visit Author's Webpage

An exciting story of one woman's experiences in an area of the world that still is veiled in impenetrable mystery.
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan - the Central Asian and Caucasus republics that rose from the ashes of the former Soviet Union. At the time when there were restrictions on travel by foreign diplomats to these regions, Helene Kenvin was witness to the growing ultra-nationalism and rebirth of Islam among the native populations. She met people who were being beaten, kidnapped, robbed, and murdered solely because they were Jewish. She negotiated with high foreign officials to ensure the safety of Jewish communities in these countries plagued by anti-Semitism and wracked by war, rioting, and pogroms. On her missions to these beleaguered nations, Kenvin was stopped by the MVD, questioned by the KGB, and mobbed by frantic people begging for her help in emigrating... Visit Author's Webpage

The Poets: William Fairbrother, Pamela O'Shaughnessy, J. R. Pearson,
Steve Parke,r Beth Vieira, Greg Grummer, and David Mehler: Seven poets from three countries, forty pages each, and no rules—this is Burning Gorgeous, an anthology of new, experimental poetry edited and published by the poets themselves. In contrast to most of the western poetry published today, these poems have been written and published outside academia by poets who found each other in an Internet poetry forum.
WHY BURNING GORGEOUS? Burning can be passionate or corrosive or destructive, but it is always full-force. Gorgeous things are more than beautiful; they seem flawed or even ugly at first, because the new is always dissonant, always strange. ....Visit Author's Webpage

Gearing Up for the Spiritual Battle |

Gearing Up For the Spiritual Battle is a brief trek into the meaning of each piece of armor that is referenced. This is done by using the one true authority, The Word of God (Bible). The apostle Paul admonishes us in the book of Ephesians chapter six to, “put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” He goes on to say that our battle is not against Flesh and blood but that of a spritual nature. Those who read this epistle during the time it was written (60-61 A.D.), had a much better understanding of the analogy of the Roman soldier that was used. In these modern times we live in, it is easy to lose touch or not fully comprehend what Paul was conveying.

Anglerobics is a collection of comic illustrations and commentary that aims to inject a bit of whimsy into the world of fishing literature, a difficult task in a genre dominated by technical, “how to”, and often boring books inducing somnolence. Based on the work of George O. Dragg, deceased master angler and teacher, Anglerobics pokes some fun at various fishing concepts, but also offers sound advice for novice and veteran anglers alike. Where else can one find solutions to overlooked but common problems, like leaky waders, bad snarls, and “appearing unobtrusive”?... Visit Author's Webpage Cartoons by Robert Moncrieff

Their father, Wendell Webb, has died. Although apathetic about his father, Venice feels obligated to help his sister and uncle with funeral arrangements and estate issues, and he heads back to Los Gatos. In a starting mix of abrupt confessions, resurfacing memories, and disturbing clues, Venice is left to piece together the incidents that have forever marked the Webb family. Visit Author's Webpage

“We all live on islands,” a old man counsels in “An Island in the Turquoise Sea,” the opening story in this collection of short stories. But all islands are not the same. “An Island in the Turquoise Sea” tells of a special island, Kauai, the northern most inhabited of the Hawaiian islands, the first to emerge from the ocean eons ago. Its subject is its natives and its visitors. Once dependent on sugar cane, but now a tourists’ dream Kauai has drawn Heintze to it each year for thirty years. “An Island in the Turquoise Sea” is his tribute to the island. In it Carl describes those who have lived there all their lives and those come for the first time. His stories tell how the island, though seemingly eternal, brings change, of how its trade winds, showers, clouds and surf offer new vistas, new life and new beginnings. Two of these stories are prize winners, but all are bewitching. Like Kauai itself, truly an island in the turquoise sea, they are unique. Visit Author's Webpage

Art Hansl’s journey through life — Marine Corps, Mexico, Europe, a film career, and all the adventures he experienced along the way. A fun read about a very bright guy who had humor, good looks, and lots of luck!
Art joined the Marines during the Korean conflict and served as a military cop at Camp Pendleton. The bars between Laguna Beach and Newport kept him busy, and the assets of California beach bunnies weren’t exaggerated... After the Corps, he returned to Mexico for 3 weeks and stayed for 3 years. He met gangsters, con artists, a variety of playboys and playgirls. Then Italy beckoned because of a beautiful, actress and model in Rome, whom he married. They partnered in a series of commercials—a stepping stone to feature films. His first was a barely visible gig in Cast a Giant Shadow with Kirk Douglas. Art went on to more prominent parts with Ugo Tognazzi, Stefania Sandrelli and Ursula Andress. Locations took him to interesting places such as a slave market in Marrakech, through an avalanche in Switzerland, and he survived a mob in Yugoslavia. But when the Dolce Vita ended Art, among other expat actors, headed for California... Visit Author's Webpage Book includes 58 facinating photos.

I was a 49 year old woman who weighed over 200 lbs and was considered to be morbidly obese. Isn’t that a term? No sugar coating there. Weight wasn’t an issue when I was young.

At the age of 18, wearing a clean pair of jeans with $25 in my pocket, I climbed aboard a German freighter leaving San Francisco on a three year journey around the world. The trip began with me hanging off scaffolding over the Pacific, painting the ship’s hull.
In “The Land Down Under”, I roamed the pubs of King’s Cross by night while confronting madmen by day in Australia’s biggest insane asylum. Arriving in Europe, I began a quest to transform myself into a Frenchman. While working the fields during wine harvest, waiting tables, clerking and cutting lumber, I took up studies at the University of Dijon. I crossed paths with gypsies, con artists, and drug dealers. I also found friends and lovers who showed me new ways of seeing the world.—Richard Lukon

This book is dedicated to those who would like to decode the hymns of Rig-Veda and understand the scientific principles hidden. The Rishis, in a state of super-consciousness, observed the laws of nature and its underlying scientific principles. They presented the observations in hymns with simple words but deep in meaning. "We knew the world would not be the same. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince to do his duty, and to impress him taken on his multi-armed form and says, “if the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be the splendor of the mighty one. Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."— Oppenheimer after the success of the Trinity test Visit Author's Webpage

Band of Brothers? (Stories based on actual events) They were the dregs, the last manpower left to fight the closing days of World War II. They were the cast-offs of service commands, the Air Force rejects, the college boys the Army had hoarded until then in the Army Specialized Training Program, the 18-year-olds just old enough to be drafted, but not to buy a drink. With inadequate and hasty training these infantry replacements were rushed overseas to fill the gaps in the frontline left by unexpected casualties. Tthe Army had miscalculated. The war had gone on longer than planned; new bodies were needed immediately. These boys learned quickly, and if they didn’t, they became casualties themselves. And by their presence they brought the war in Europe to a close; they created a peace, they began a new world—a world bright with hope yet stained by the past. Visit Author's Webpage

"This book is based on actual experiences during month-long vacations in the South of France. In our search for the perfect place we discovered, purely by accident, that there are numerous affordable villas for rent in the hills along the Mediterranean coast..." A humorous account of an American husband and wife who stumble upon the perfect "Enchanted April" villa on the French Riviera near St-Tropez. But knowing little of the language and even less of the culture, will they find bliss—or the Bastille—as they attempt to live among the French? A must read for those of you interested in the pros and cons of villa rentals—whether your preference is Provence, Tuscany, or any other destination. Although finding that dream villa involves more effort than booking a hotel room, the enhanced cultural experience, the extra privacy, the additional space, and the lower cost for room and board will make you wonder why you ever vacationed any other way.

Caroline Morrison comes of age during the turbulent war years of the 1940s. The attack on Pearl Harbor shatters the illusion that young women should lead sheltered and protected lives, and women realize they must help the war effort. Caroline is no exception. A civil service exam she takes as a class assignment in her senior year of college leads to an internship in hospital dietetics at Walter Reed Army Medical Center followed by a commission as second lieutenant in the Medical Corps.
September 1944 begins a year of intense training and long hours at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. Tension and excitement grip the city and the crowded hospital. Caroline finds herself involved in the lives of soldiers severely wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, supervises General Pershing’s meals, encounters the fury of General Patton, celebrates General Eisenhower's success, and sees the spirits of patients lifted by visits from Helen Keller and Eleanor Roosevelt...

TWO IMPORTANT SENSES: When I was a young lad climbing the mountains of life, there were two things that kept me going, even in the toughest of times. One was common sense – the ability to think things thru logically, and then to act in a right and morally acceptable manner. But life isn’t always fair; and we fall and we fail and we get hurt. That’s where a good sense of humor comes in handy. To be able to laugh in the face of adversity is a great gift. And it inspires and lifts the spirits of those around us. I’ve found that laughter is a great healer. Visit Author's Webpage

This book is the result of daily writing over a year, as Darlyne and Philip clarified and expressed their feelings about Darlyne's impending death and Philip's loss. In an extraordinary reception of direction they decided to share their feelings with the public – an unusual and powerful decision. They speak clearly, cry openly, and dance for the joy of being alive. Darlyne brings to this endeavor over thirty-five years as a special education teacher, speech pathologist, workshop leader and hypnotherapist. Philip's background is that of a commercial ship-to-shore radiotelegraph operator for over 30 years at the RCA coastal marine station KPH on the PT. Reyes Peninsula in California.
Together, Darlyne and Philip created a compelling, deeply personal and educational portrait of regular folk living life after one has received a terminal diagnosis. Visit Author's Webpage.

Exploring the Biblical, Scientific, & Historical Evidence Supporting Eden's Israel Location & the Theological Implications of this Proposition. Follow Bruce’s journey as he explores the evidence for the Eden in Israel proposition in: mitochondrial genetics; remnant images residing within ancient Sumerian and Egyptian mythology; ancient Jewish apocrypha texts like the Book of Jubilees, and of coarse within the Bibles text. Like an encryption key that exposes a hidden message within an encrypted document, the Eden in Israel proposition unlocks symbolic imagery throughout the scriptures text. God's redemptive purposes using this region and the imagery of the garden take on a whole new weight. The mysteries uncovered by this theory are nothing less than astonishing, and provide a remarkable framework for understanding the message of God's Kingdom and His purposes with the land and people of Israel.

Award Finalist for BEST POETRY BOOK in The Best Books of 2005 contest sponsored by USA Book News. In the title poem, 'The Shadow of a Dog I Can't Forget' a woman, married for only sixty days, deals with feelings of melancholy by inventing a mysterious dog only she can see. In this carefully crafted world of runaways, mystical goddesses, happy strippers, and Marilyn Monroe returned to us to comment on her life being auctioned away, the poet's words nag at us the way only a great seduction can...like liquid pearls falling from the sky above/as soft and easy as a fortune teller's dreams/We are beautiful alone with ourselves/they seem to say/evening snowflakes floating/beneath a fain moon/like fingertips about to touch/a new piano/each sound, each song/a miracle.
Mary Kennedy Eastham's work has been called darkly beautiful, erotic, lyrical and haunting. One reviewer said sitting down with her poems blew his hair back flat reminding him of when he was in high school laying in the grass at the end of the runway as the jets took off. Visit Author's Webpage

The title of "Stopwatch Teacher" refers to Robertson's ingenious use of a stopwatch (which her student's used), to add the spice of competition to their learning. This book is about extraordinary teaching without compromise, written by a master teacher. How one teacher got about 1,000 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders to sit up, listen, and learn, through the use of many innovative techniques. In twenty-five chapters Robertson tells her story, with nugget after nugget of down home insight and dry humor. It is an absolutely wonderful book.
"In this class you will learn to read, write, multiply, and how to find the Sierra Nevada mountain range on a map. By the time we are done you will also know how to run the projector, score a baseball game, play a decent game of chess, give a speech in front of the class, and how to type a book report." Thus began a very unusual fourth grade for about a thousand students, told by Mrs. Robertson herself. Visit Author's Webpage

Ray Robertson was a man of many talents, but sitting still was not one of them. He will be remembered best as a businessman perhaps — an entrepreneur who had so much faith in success itself that he was able to take on new business ventures (in some cases with no prior experience), and by recreating himself, make them work. He owned the Polly Prim Bakery in Los Gatos, the Christian Book and Bible Store in San Diego, and the Los Gatos Office Equipment and Supply Co. (two locations) in Los Gatos, CA.
Ray’s asthma became so severe in Hawaii on one occasion that he had to stay inside in air conditioned isolation for two weeks. “Now will you write your biography?” pleaded Edith. She had been imploring him for ages to write his memoirs so his kids and grandkids would know more about their roots. With nothing else to do and with a nagging wife ever present, Ray finally got to work and produced his biography. It was done roughly, with many asides and flashbacks... Visit Author's Webpage

Autobiography of Edith Coffin, 1889—1902. "My mother (author of this book) was very ill. She had leukemia and was in a great deal of pain. On an extended visit to me, her oldest daughter, we tried various schemes to help her get her mind off her pain... Finally one day I suggested she tell me her life story... Day after day she lay on the bed and in between bouts of pain she would dictate. Gradually the story grew." ~ECR

Literature that sticks to the roof of your mouth. "There is a great and wonderful variety of work that has been left out in the cold – shunned by other publications for lack of an editorial policy which would include them. Within these pages are some of the best of what we have found..." Short Stories * Poetry * Illustrations * Ideas * Issues * Whimsy
A small literary publication created, edited, and published out of a love for great fiction and art -- rather than a desire for profit. This book is great for those of us who like magazines that tend to nudge our thinking every once in a while. |
