The Adventures of Martha Lou and Me: A Collection of Short Stories by Josephine Krause (10 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

My paternal grandma, from the Deep South, was as backwoods as a body could get. She was so country, that country folk looked like high falutin city folk, compared to her. Grandma had a noteworthy Southern dialect that left me gobsmacked every time she spoke. It was fascinating, captivating, enchanting, and a tad odd. I spent my adolescent years growing up in the North having fun adventures with my sisters, especially Martha Lou, since she was the mistress of mischief. Martha Lou turned ordinary events into exciting experiences. The wheels in her brain never stopped turning. This led to many precarious and humorous exploits. As I grew older and retold the stories of my youth, I would recount them in the distinctive speaking style of my grandma, with her ever entertaining colloquialisms of the South. People found my narratives to be heartwarming, wholesome, endearing, and hilarious. If there is one thing that I aim to do... it's to make you laugh! Enjoy the collection of short, humorous, true-life stories, my friends.

Life, the Universe, God, and all that Stuff: 'an inside-out view' by Johnny R. O'Neill (15 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Life Is a Song, to be Played Again... and Again... What is the 'stuff' of which our universe is made? Quarks or atoms? God or consciousness? An as yet undiscovered something? Is it 'made' of any 'thing' at all? In this remarkable book, author Johnny R. O'Neill describes a universe made, yes, of 'stuff,' but also, and just as importantly, made of the ever-changing relationship between that stuff and those who experience it. 'Relationship'? Think of it as 'feeling.' We exist as the feeling of life, and living. Using a well-reasoned and insightful mix of science and philosophy, spirituality and religion, the author maps previously uncharted territory on our understanding of ourselves. Within are pathways of thought leading to fresh ideas on consciousness, awareness, free will; to new intersections with old ideas, the Golden Rule, personal responsibility; as well as expansive, clear-eyed vistas on faith, morality, truth, and indeed, eternity. It's a new metaphor the author offers, new ways of thinking about ourselves, about our world, about our own existence in and as this 'kinetic whirl' that is our boundaryless universe. It truly is a new way of seeing, and from the inside-out, 'Life, the Universe, God, and all that Stuff'...

LESSONS FROM LIFE by JEFF ROSENFELD (10 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

This is the first of four novels portraying the uplifting and timeless journeys of four generations of the Bird Family. This book is about the lifetime friendship between a seventy-five year old Holocaust survivor and an eighteen year old car accident survivor as well as their incredible experiences both before and after they met. Their will to live life to the fullest and capacity for love conquers all, even death. The novel is based in part upon my own true story and recovery from a serious car accident. KIRKUS REVIEWS An unlikely friendship is kindled when a young disabled man meets a Holocaust survivor. In this short novel, Rosenfeld weaves together the tragic, yet inspiring stories of two unlikely friends. Jonathan, 18, is a car-accident survivor and working to regain strength in his legs. Sarah, a Holocaust survivor with many emotional scars, searches for ways to live with a past that continually haunts her. When the two meet in a fitness-center Jacuzzi after swimming for rehabilitation, each opens up to reveal a tragic story of overcoming emotional and physical pain. Rosenfeld's novel moves quickly. The author advances the narrative and maintains momentum with the back-and-forth dialogue between the two characters. While the age difference between Jonathan and Sarah renders their relationship platonic, this age gap allows a distance that collapses all artifice. What the reader will find is a true sense of human connection between these characters--one that defies sex, gender and self-consciousness. At times, the reader may long for a more present-tense world. Much of the novel is occupied by back story, and the characters' present-time interactions are brief and in service to the delivery of past stories. Similarly, Jonathan and Sarah are often largely defined by their disabilities and past abuse, leaving little to present them as rounded characters except for their struggles and delicate treatment of one another. However, the author satisfyingly ...

Objects Sacred and Profane: A Book of Revelations by Steffy Sota (Numeracy Press) Price verified 3 hours ago

The core concept of religion is dualism: good versus evil, morality versus immorality, God versus Devil, sin versus grace, Heaven versus Hell, life versus afterlife, life versus death, and the sacred versus the profane. The core concept of a true monotheism is ambiguity. The same force that provides benevolence also provides torment. Ambiguity is the synthesis of thesis and antithesis. The key to true monotheism is the primacy of perception. In Objects Sacred and Profane, Steffy Sota explores the concept of ambiguity in religion. The result is a new way of looking at the world. Steffy Sota is the Woodward Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Liberal Studies at Olinger University. Professor Sota is the author of over 30 articles on the philosophers of the Twentieth Century and is the author of Living and Dying by the Numbers, Faucian Dystopias, The Multiverse, The Christian Zionist, and Who Is the True Knight of Faith? Professor Sota won the Best Instructor award for 2020 at Olinger University.

ROMAN TRILOGY: The saga of the three short novels (Recommended) by Abel Carvajal (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

"It is the first time that I have written a presentation of one of my books in English, Gentle Reader. ROMAN TRILOGY is a mysterious book, even for me as an author, since the three short novels that make it up emerged at different times in my life and with different origins as well. THE EMERALD SWORD was my first novel, although chronologically it is the third in this saga, it was born from strange dreams that I had in my youth, incredible dreams that were very vivid for me. THE MAGICIAN OF MESOPOTAMIA, the second one I wrote, but the first of the Trilogy emerged as a kind of epiphany at the end of the last millennium, while I was on sabbatical between the ancient Mayan lands and the charming city of Mérida, the capital of Yucatán, Mexico. THE SKULL´s CENTURION, the third one I wrote, but chronologically the second in the saga came to life during an internship in historic Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Now, the translation from Spanish to English of the three novels was daring on my part; I wanted to experiment with the technology offered by Microsoft and with my very basic knowledge of the English language to correct the translation. I leave the judgment to my respected readers, I hope they are not too rigorous with this attempt."

Pillars of Heaven Chapter 4: Fantasy Golf Safari of 1939 by Scott F Neve Price verified 5 hours ago

* Historic Action Adventure Satire Short Story ! This chapter from my upcoming epic novel features the greatest men and women players from the Golden Age of Golf on a world tour of the most fantastic holes ever imagined! It is an exotic blend of Indiana Jones action and pulp fiction adventure laced with mystery and romance. Chapter 4 Pillars of Heaven Hong Kong, China Hole 3 The horizon stretched on forever over the sea and land. It was a golfer's paradise to be sure. But only a madman would dare create a tee off from the top of a pillar mount to an oasis of green in the middle of the picturesque rice fields. Lexi the Score Keeper announced to the teams, "Hole 3 is only 69 yards and a Par 3. Though it is short, the seven hundred yard descent can be deceptively difficult. The sea coast is blessed with dramatic changes in temperature and winds." "Indeed," whispered the luminary lady to Hage as she silently sidled up between him and his partner. "The weather factor is absolutely damnable. Your club selection is crucial. Everything depends on the direction and the strength of the wind." Dixie added, "An embedded ball in the green suffers a one stroke penalty for removal from the turf." Ambassador Henry announced, "General Hung Yu will now give a demonstration on how to play his famous Pillars of Heaven hole." The general used a niblick with a smooth stroke that barely sent the ball off of the grassy plateau. It sailed with a graceful arch toward the ground. It landed on the front of the lily pad shaped green. The ball rolled slowly for forty feet and then fell into the cup. The ring of servant girls around the green applauded their master. The crowd of natives atop the monolith cheered for their god of golf. The teams were dumbfounded and speechless. The luminary lady explained the trick to Hage, "General Hung Yu has his servants and greens keepers holding parasols to keep the sun off of their heads. But it is also to hide the other servants holding ...

Haiku Reflections by Geraldine Helen Hartman will nourish your spirit through every season and inspire you to live each day with purpose and gratitude. A beautiful gift." Cam M., a reader from BC, Canada "There are many haiku sites/books with several contradictory rules (as is the way with "experts"). Haiku poet: Geraldine Helen Hartman always seems to have full command of this poetry form." Sue Turner, poet and author of: When the Wind Blows and North of Summer "I am always amazed when so much can be told in only 17 syllables and Ms. Hartman is gifted at telling a story with beautiful brevity." Jan Morrill, poet and author of: The Red Kimono "Haiku Reflections is a light hearted collection of modern-style haiku. With themes that exist within seasons, alight with spirited punctuation, the language and moments of reflection are beautiful, gentle, and occasionally whimsical." Glenn Lyvers, Haiku Journal
