Photojournalist Paige Thompson has sworn off love after being caught off guard by a cheating boyfriend and the end of their five-year relationship when she's beckoned home to New Jersey. Her parents have been in a tragic accident, which has left her father lying in the morgue and her mother in an ICU bed. Once back in Meadowbrook, Paige, one to never let a good intrigue go unsolved, makes it her mission to uncover the unusual circumstances surrounding her father's death. Her meddling, twists and turns, and leads her into more than one dangerous situation, which not only reveals the truth of the accident but the truth behind the disappearance of a fourteen-year-old boy twenty-five years earlier whose body was unearthed during the construction of a reservoir. As Paige's investigation crisscrosses the lines of right and wrong, she exasperates ruggedly good-looking homicide detective Nathan Edgemont, a former childhood friend. As their lost friendship is rekindled and transformed, sparks ignite. Her closed heart is further confused when the confident, handsome attorney Michael Wilson charms her with his attentions. Rumors had circulated for decades about the hauntingly beautiful Cattail Marshlands which surrounded the small town of Meadowbrook near the Jersey Shore. So when Paige learns that a reservoir has been built in the center of the marshlands, she is naturally drawn back to her childhood playground and all the secrets it holds.

This book is about my life. I crossed county sixteen times on foot on most of it and lived on the road for fifteen years, eating wild edible plants and always leaving home with no money. This book is more than just a book. This book can save lives. Say you have no family and no friends and you're homeless. The knowledge in this book can save your life. Of course you will have to be extremely careful if anyone ever tries to do this. I urge anyone who reads my book to use this knowledge only if they are in trouble. The reason for this book is to save people and open people's eyes to the drifter world, a world most people only briefly hear about. I'm letting the world know what these homeless world travelers go through in great detail. It took me fifteen years to write this book because I kept getting rained on and my book kept getting ruined. I'm proud to finally give the world The Diary of a Drifter.

Controversy and Ultimatum is a thriller with a political background. It takes place in an imaginary country, an island shaped like a crab, located somewhere in the Atlantic or the Pacific, not far from the American coast. There is a crime in high society. Two detectives are dedicated to solving the enigma. They are Gavin William and Chelo Gomez. They are two opposite and yet complementary characters. Gavin William is rational, objective, patient. Chelo Gomez is mysterious, subjective, and even more patient.

My Pain Became My Strength was written as the start of the healing process for me. While attending counseling sessions, I was unaware of how my childhood was still affecting me as an adult, how it affected my decisions, communication, and last but not least, how I interacted with others. I had never expressed myself, nor did I allow myself to deal with all the emotions or feelings from past experiences. Until I started writing, I wasn't even aware of how much I had gone through. Through this process, I was able to express, acknowledge the problems, and most importantly, allow myself to feel and deal with every emotion in order to start my healing process.When I took these steps, I was finally able to see the real me. I was also able to finally love myself, which I was not able to do for years. This is what inspired me to tell and share my story. There are many elements to my story. I survived being molested by a family member. I was also abused sexually, physically, and verbally. I also had to deal with mental illness that separated me from my mom at a very early age. All these obstacles caused me a lot of pain. But in the end, every obstacle made me stronger and became my strength because of my faith in God.During my journey, God had also placed very important people in my path. They were very instrumental in my view on life and of people. Each person that God had placed in my life provided me with something different, but it was very vital to my well-being. I felt very blessed to have them in my life and very grateful for the role they each played. While writing my story, I was able to see my life come full circle. My happiness comes from helping others. Despite my past, if sharing my story encourages others to find their purpose in life, as well as find salvation in Jesus Christ, it brings my heart so much joy. I would like for that little girl, little boy, young lady, young man, woman, or man to know that despite how grim or dark things may be, there is light and happiness on the other side, to never give up on your aspirations, and most importantly, never to give up on yourself. I was able to find peace, love, and happiness as an adult that I did not have as a child by growing spiritually. I found my purpose in life, so I want to inspire others that they, too, have a purpose in this life!

An old-time war erupts again in the heart of Texas after a popular television personality is abducted by men of the underworld. The state authority believes that it is just an ordinary act of violence, but investigations are underway. Drago, who is on a long-term mission to annihilate vampires from the face of the earth, does not relent on his reckless display of terror; but he is resisted by Lucas who had dangerous encounters with the villain in the past.

That was many decades ago, but unforgiving and undeterred Drago is back with a strong army to effect revenge by launching an attack on an unprepared Lucas through a human shield of high value.Bombs and ammunition proliferation enjoy underground freedom.

The struggle for supremacy continues with both sides losing important men, but at the end, the more focused player becomes victorious and achieves his ambition of revealing a sacred truth to the whole world.

This book is full of short stories that have happened in the author's life. The stories are mostly funny, but some are serious. There are also some poems, or should I say roasts, about the author's family members and friends. There is a section that is fictional in nature, about the people in the author's fantasy football league.

No one wants to stay in a broken marriage or relationship. Staying is hard; leaving is even harder. Pardoning yourself to leave will be the most courageous act you'll ever perform. Voices of gossip and questions like "e;Can I make it on my own being a single mom/dad or just being single?"e; are just a few thoughts that you will find floating in your head. You will be okay. You will be better than okay because you will have your dignity back, and your soul will be filled with peace that you yearned so long for.Divorce is an uncomfortable conversation. More so for the person who is actually going through the divorce and not those who stand by with judgment. We cannot lie around being low-hanging fruit for everyone. As with any fruit, some are examined to see if it should be chosen. While that part of the process is necessary, it sometimes can cause bruising.Once you are the chosen fruit, if not used in your due season for the intended purpose, you will spoil and become rotten, and may I say it, bitter--no use to anyone. I say, be careful whom you allow to handle you. Be mindful of your shelf life, your worth, and be courageous to set yourself free for your God-given purpose. Be courageous, my beloved. Pardon the warden(s). Pardon anyone and everyone who besets bitterness in your soul. And most importantly, pardon your beautiful self.

Your success is not by what you have and own or what you are involved with in your social life. Your success is by what you are doing here with the spiritual life through the physical presence. It's not about where you're at with what you have. It's about where you're at with who you are, then you will have everything that you need. Do not sell your life for some simple-minded success. Reality is an illusion that must be recognized and overcome in order to make it out. Humans must reach a deeper point on focusing past the beliefs of what they think and know as being true. We live in a reality where people believe that truth is found from the media of an Internet revolution, and that is far from accurate. Humans accept the world from the reality in which they are presented. The only way to see the truth in the right form is from within. The soul is what makes a person human, and the soul holds true that the physical mind can barely comprehend. You have to be spiritually developed outside of society for your mind to be evolved in processing and handling the path of light through your soul. It is through the soul that you discover and become conscious of understanding the deepest truths. People who strictly live in the world will never come to know their souls. The soul is the only way to true wisdom and eternal life. Do you want to become less of who you are, or do you want to become more than what you were led to believe that you are? Humans must always live in the light of who they are outside of this world. Otherwise, they're just living a baseless existence following under the guidance of wickedness to an impending eternal death.

Although the theme of Sixty Years behind the Mast is sailing, blue-water cruising in particular, it is much more than just about sailing. First, it is hoped the book will be added to the libraries of many blue-water sailors. For example, on the author's forty-foot yacht, AEOLUS, its library included three or four dozen sailing books including Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World (1894) and Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast (1840). Dana's book is an excellent description of the eighty-four-foot Boston brig, PILGRIM, trading with the ranchers in "e;Alta California"e; in the 1830s. A good library consisting of many other well-known sailing/adventure stories is essential on a cruising yacht.Second, Sixty Years behind the Mast also should be included in the libraries of armchair adventurers who dream of making voyages to the distant islands in the South Pacific. The romantic South Pacific is famous for its out-of-the-box authors, artists, beachcombers, lone sailors, and scallywags, such as Robert Louis Stevenson (In the South Seas); James Michener (Tales of the South Pacific); impressionist painter, Paul Gauguin, who lived out his tragic life on Hiva Oa, an island of the Marquesas Archipelago; and American musician, Eddie Lund (and his Tahitians), sometimes referred to as "e;the Irving Berlin of island music."e; The Romance of the South Pacific was also well illustrated by famed film director John Ford's movie, The Hurricane (1937), staring Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall.Third, Sixty Years behind the Mast is a good reference manual for parents who have adolescent children. Several weeks, even just one week of blue-water sailing on a small boat, is an amazing way to help children successfully navigate the rite of passage from adolescence to adulthood. Cruising motivates a person to become self-reliant, builds self-confidence, enhances compassion, helps develop the skills required for effective teamwork and leadership, and makes one more sensitive to nature and sympathetic to the environment.

This story chronicles the events that could happen to a hardworking close-knit, God-fearing, altruistic American family living the American Dream that became powerless when their family is infiltrated by someone who is raised the opposite of them, that is, someone with no religion, no filial piety, no etiquette, and no compassion. The infiltrator not only cons them about many things but seduces their wayward daughter. This person commandeers their cars to be used for selling drugs under the pretext of needing a car to look good when going to band practice, their house, their garage, and their garden shed to store his drugs, guns, and ammunition that he was selling, just to name a few.Their wayward daughter is forced to cosign for an apartment for this parasite and ends up using her mother's grocery money to buy food for the parasite who is a drug addict, drug dealer, and child pornographer. Every month, the daughter steals the elderly mother's credit card to buy money orders to pay the child support of six illegitimate children of the parasite who fathered them with six different women. The parasite is promiscuous and has sex indiscriminately with women and prostitutes for daytime jaunts while the wayward daughter is at work. Pretty soon, the elderly mother's sister, brother, and cousins are forbidden by the wayward daughter at the insistence of the parasite to come to Christmas dinners like they had been doing for the last fifty years because the drug addict wanted the elderly lady to cook Christmas dinner for his illegitimate daughters, his relatives, his uplines, and his downlines.The drug addict started storing his safe in their house. It contained his drugs, money, guns in his inventory in addition to the deeds of properties up and down the eastern seaboard that his customers were forced to sign over to him when they could not pay for their drugs that he supplied them. Eventually, he was selling drugs at the Silaghi family dining table right in front of the elderly couple who were totally helpless.Mila became more and more subservient to the drug-addict couple. She was slowly deluding herself that her pseudo son-in-law was not a drug addict, drug dealer, and child pornographer even though she had suspicions that he was a hit man for the mob. The wayward daughter and the drug addict kept deluding her that the parasite was cleaning up. Just before Nero's death, she had been forced by the drug-addict couple to buy them a house as he had to move out of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mila was to put down the down payment while the wayward daughter was to pay the mortgage and the drug addict was to pay for all the utilities. As soon as they closed on the house, the drug addict never came through with his promise and Mila was paying for the utilities and eventually the mortgage plus all the money needed for buying supplies to do the renovation.When Mila died, the wayward daughter turned the Silaghi house into a rooming house for drug addicts, drug dealers, and child pornographers. Everything was very rosy for the drug-addict couple until one day...
