This book is not about women, it's about what's done to women so let me ask you a question. When you put on makeup in the morning or for a date, who decides the color of the eye shadow? Is it you? Are you sure or did some advertisement or sales person influence you? Should you go with smoky eyes? Do you need it at all?Are you overweight? By how much? Who decides? Your dress size, doctor, significant other, the mirror, what? What about your shape? Are the curves in the right place? Are your breasts too large, too small or, heaven forbid, sagging? What about your butt? Oh my God, is that cellulite?What about other less superficial things like how real is the "Glass Ceiling" and does it matter? What about children and how many? What about abortion? Work or stay at home? Etc.You don't have to answer but we both know that millions of women wrestle with questions like these every day but nobody bothers to ask why. Why are women put in such an awkward position that they have to question themselves in the first place?Is it possible that women question themselves because we are surrounded by ancient myths kept alive by lies perpetrated by people with special interests and a lot of nonsense thrown in for entertainment value? Are these myths, lies and nonsense designed to keep you, the 21st century woman, from achieving true social parity?The answer is a resounding yes and this book provides the answers to questions you may have never thought to ask but should have.

The book is about my grandparents' lives - my grandfather particularly. He was born in the workhouse and brought up by his grandparents after his mother married, when he was four years old. He enlisted in the Army at twenty, shortly before meeting Ada, his wife. They were together for less than a month before he was posted to India and China, and he was away for six years. Ada died at thirty-eight. He lost his children to family members, all separated, and was left alone. He became a gentleman of the road and died at seventy-three on a park bench near the churchyard, where his wife and young daughter were buried.

"If I board the wrong train, it is of no use running along thecorridor in the other direction." - Dietrich BonhoefferWhat if I did not board the wrong train, but I had been thrown into it? What if it takes me years to realize that the train I've been thrown into by decisions of generations of ancestors is traveling in the wrong direction? What if I find out that all my strife to realize my dreams are null and void because Dietrich Bonhoeffer was right? What if my decision to leave that train is a dangerous, even deathly, fight, yet my desire overcomes the fear, and I jump?I jump into a fight for freedom. And against all odds, I win?At a cynical moment, I could think I experienced life in bondage which came about as a result of the mistakes and errors of previous generations. And how that bondage originated, I knew from studying history.Now, I can experience the way of a nation in bondage. What a unique opportunity. But only if I were cynical would I think that.Comparing my life environment - a country I lived in - to a train seems a little odd, but when one thinks about it, it is comparable.

Or jump off the train, which is very dangerous. That is the situation of living in a socialist or communist country. That was true for 32 years of my life. Interested?

After years of pushing garbage with his D9, Dan Tucker thought he'd seen every kind of trash anyone could throw away. He was surprised the day he saw something new. The bodies of the dogs were not so new, but the live pup in the box was. When the animal protection people were called to take the pup, they were more interested in the dead dogs than the pup. When Dan found several more dead animals over the next few days, and the animal protection people wouldn't tell him why they were interested, he contacted Refuge Rescuers. They took the case, and it led to a massive drug conspiracy and even murder, before Mack, Lisa, and the rest of their detective agency solved the killing of so many innocent animals.

Shades of Shade is a coffee-table book containing a collection of my poetry and original artwork illustrating the poems. The poetry is a depiction of life, short stories, difficult topics and taboos that exist in many countries. These realities have inspired me. I hope to bring awareness and understanding of these conflicts that exist in many societies around the world. I have chosen to hire thirteen artists from different countries to showcase their varied styles and mediums of art. These illustrations depict and demonstrate the base meaning of my poetry. I am hoping this book itself becomes a piece of art.
