Screaming staircases! Skeletons in the basement! Mysterious apparitions that appear, vanish then reappear! Things that go bump in the night! Hijacked stagecoaches! Dancing miners, and escaping into the past are just SOME of the things contained in the first three books involving a group of adventurous youngsters, ages eleven to thirteen, and spans almost fifteen months. The children share adventures that culminate with Book Four, where the old mansion, the center of all three preceding novels, is dealt a fate similar to that of the house in Edgar Allen Poe's work, The Fall of the House of Usher. In Book #3, Barbara is transported through a time portal back to 1945. While there, she changes an event, and as a consequence exposes a concurrent history that is far worse than anyone can imagine. Upon her return to her real time she finds she must go back to 1945 and reverse her actions. But in doing so, she discovers she cannot calmly change what she did and return to 1972, the year of our story. First she must travel back in time to 1863, to Gettysburg, and undo an event that caused this skewed history to first develop. Find out about these mysteries and discover what secret lies behind the Mason's Door.Book #1-The Mystery of the Silver Bottles Book #2-The Mystery of Skeleton CaveBook #3-The Mystery of the Screaming Staircase Book #4-The Secret Behind the Mason's Door Biographical Sketch Rich's first memory was living in South Fork, a small burg along the south fork of the Eel River in Northern California which, because of the disastrous winter rains of 1963-64, now exists only in those memories. Sometime before South Fork was wiped from the maps the family moved to Fairfax where they lived until the summer of '52. From there they moved to Atwater where certain job opportunities afforded a better way of life. After a six year obligation to the US Army, and attending college, he along with his wife started teaching in Christian Schools in California; the first being Valley Christian Academy in Santa Maria. That was 1972. It was then these mysteries first took shape, and he owes it all to eight little second graders who somehow found their way into the pages of these stories where four of them became main characters. These 'little ones' are now in their late forties and have probably forgotten their second grade teacher, but he will never forget them. It is to those funny little kids these stories are dedicated.

Life is the pursuit of happiness, something that is ordained not by men, but bestowed by God. Our path to hope is our purpose, something we all must discover if we are to truly live up to our potential as human beings. This book addresses one of the most pressing concerns facing our country today: immigration and cultural diversity.One is the problem and the other is the solution.As a citizen of the world, I will use my experiences to show how cultural diversity is not to be feared, but used to benefit us all. In difficult economic times, native citizens will naturally look for scapegoats; and immigrants, both legal and illegal, fit the bill.But if we are to move forward, we need to find ways to allow immigrants to freely contribute to our society in order to solve the problems we accuse them of causing. If we embrace the cultural diversity rather than fight it, we will succeed. In the global economy, we cannot afford to discount such a valuable resource as the many who leave their homes for a better life, fueled by their own path to hope.Immigration isn''t the problem, it''s the answer!Even when unemployment is high, millions of jobs remain unfilledForty-nine percent of businesses find it hard to fill critical jobs, 15 percent above the global average.By 2018, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics jobs won''t be filled even if every American graduate with an advanced degree finds employment.

Immigrants have higher work force participation rates than those born in the United States.The United States must attract and retain human capitalImmigration caps force twenty thousand American-educated students to leave the United States every year.As the US population ages, unfilled jobs will hinder growthBy 2030, the United States will need to add 25 million workers to the labor force to sustain current growth.Without immigrants, the United States will not have enough new workers to support retirees. More than one-third of the US population growth is attributed to new immigrants. By 2050, 93 percent of growth in the US working-age population will be due to immigrants and their children.Seventy-five percent of the foreign-born labor force is in the vital 25-54-year-old category-higher than their US-born counterparts.Multilingual immigrants boost tradeEvery one hundred H1-B visas create 183 jobs for American-born workers. Every one hundred H2-B visas create 464 additional jobs.

The Comic Book Bandit is a bright, healthy, mischievous child named Jay. Mentored by his brilliant older brother, Ross, the bandit pulls off his first comic book heist at the age of four. As events unfold, he gradually finds himself to be alone out in a world where the only significant authority over his behavior turns out to be him and his fledgling and relatively ignorant conscience. Being an unattended child may be scary, but it is also immensely exciting. There is a rush that comes with boundless liberty. Not entirely free, but with stolen moments of freedom to explore life on his own, out and about in the pulsating city of Chicago, where the choices were breathtaking, our hero is captured by the undeniable realization, "I can do whatever I want so long as I don''t get caught." The stories take place after the Second World War. Yes, the bandit faces the obstacles of grown-ups but cleverly discovers the slippery power of the believable lie. He creates a secret life of his own and shares an acceptable version with those he must account to: his mother, his father, his brother, his teachers, and his friends. Getting away with stuff starts to become second nature, at least until and when he creates a lie so big, with burden so weighty, its effects are at times overwhelming. The culmination of his struggles with the Great Bar Mitzvah Caper will have the reader riveted to each and every page. How could he? How does he? Will he or won''t he? Those are the questions. Come along for the ride. I promise you a child whose ingenious lies make him unlike any child you may have encountered. And beyond all that, he is a great little kid.
