¿¿Now in my eighties, I met scores of famous people within the motorcycle and car racing world and became lifelong friends with many of them. I'd work and professionally road race for the Honda, Yamaha, and Bridgestone factory teams, win national championships for two of them, and be associated with Bombardier, maker of Ski-Doo snowmobiles and Sea-Doo watercraft when they undertook the development and manufacture of the Can-Am, a North American off-road motorcycle to challenge the Japanese. I'd also spend forty-years importing Bombardier-Rotax racing engines from Austria. I'd do motorcycle development projects for several other manufacturers and even a motorcycle project for General Motors, then the largest corporation the world had ever known. I'd win the Baja 500 off-road car race for another automobile manufacturer, American Motors, on a team sponsored by film star James Garner, with teammate Bob Bondurant, a former Formula 1 race car driver. But all that was yet to come and in no way could I have portended what excitement, success, and personal notoriety lay ahead in my then-young life.I'd become living proof that the United States was truly the land of opportunity. If one was prepared to be dedicated and work hard, almost any dream could come true.

William Morgan, after thirty years of marriage, has left his old life behind him and has moved to a comfortable and modern log cabin in the woods of upstate New York, searching for the peace, solitude, and satisfaction he was never able to find as the titular head of a family and business.While walking through the beautiful wooded area that acted as the borders of the land that surrounded his home, he came upon a small shivering golden retriever puppy that was huddled against a huge pine tree. He named the puppy Fortune.William and Fortune enjoyed a mutually satisfying life together until Carolyn James, a battered and abused wife on the run from her husband, literally crashed into their lives. That was the beginning of a life together for the three of them that none of them had expected but lived it to the extreme.

Unicorn Dreams is an amusing family saga about the Andros family as seen through the eyes of Edward, its youngest member. He begins his reminiscences in the year 1980 when the sight of so many unicorns on department store shelves causes him to recall his sister-in-law, Alissa, who had a special connection with that heraldic beast. It is the impact of Alissa on various family members which is the backbone of the novel. Whether seen as saint or sinner, no one remains indifferent to Alissa.Among the various family members who are affected by Alissa is Eleanor Andros, matriarch of the clan. She often compares herself to Eleanor of Aquitaine whom, despite what the historians say, she refers to as "that dear saintly queen." There's Arthur, Alissa's husband, eldest son and heir to the family business who deserted the clan with nary a backward glance. Next comes Richard, recluse and malcontent, who especially despises Alissa whom he blames for Arthur's alienation and the subsequent destruction of his dreams of a promising music career. John is the black sheep of the family whose selfish behavior is the biggest thorn in Eleanor's side. Lastly, there's Edward himself, struggling against family opposition and resentment to become a doctor during the difficult Depression years.Besides the immediate family, members of the extended family are also drawn into Alissa's web. There's lovable obese Uncle Theo whose ideas are as outrageous as his thickly Greek-accented English. Eleanor's half brother, Teddy Busby, bon vivant and ladies' man, is attracted by Alissa's lure. While his daughter, Melinda, shares his infatuation, his son, Roderick, is determined to play Mordred in Alissa's Camelot.These are a few of the characters who are woven into the tangled tapestry of the Andros family's life as they struggle together, and sometimes against each other, to survive bootlegging, prohibition, the Depression, World War II, and all the crises which affect everyone throughout a lifetime. Whether laughing together at a family dinner, attending a lavish Elizabethan costume party, or suffering together through the losses of death and divorce, Alissa's influence, for good or bad, is profoundly felt by everyone.

She is a very sexually active woman but only shows her wild side to her lover. However, her ex-lover is the one that has made her become the woman she is today.

El libro de Apocalipsis o la revelacion del Senor Jesucristo, no es solamente un libro de malas noticias, de juicios, epidemias, de grandes cataclismos cosmicos y de un futuro gobierno mundialmente tenebroso. Tambien es el mensaje del mas grande amor que pueda existir, el amor de Dios para salvar a la humanidad del terrible final que tendran que enfrentar todos aquellos que no quisieron creer en el Senor Jesucristo y prefirieron alejarse de el. Es un libro que vale la pena estudiar por la ubicacion que tiene justo al final de los evangelios y de las epistolas. Ademas, porque representa el ultimo acto para poder completar el evangelio del Senor Jesucristo y porque es el unico libro de la Biblia que habla del principio y del final de todos los tiempos.

For many years, the family circle led by first cousins Tomas Adamson and Paul "Paco" Stephenson has enjoyed comfortable existence. But recently, their village has sustained damage brought on by the infidelity of one of its most important members. Because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, the bond that held the family together begins to unravel, bringing changes both good and bad.As some of the changes begin to threaten the well-being of the village, a distressful event results in a cry for help that brings a mysterious group of family elders into the situation. With the arrival of the previously unknown "heads of the family," many long-buried secrets are exposed, which sparks more trouble in the form of unexpected danger and ever-climbing stakes that will change the village for all time.

The Harbingers of Spring is fiction and is a tale of hope set in the surroundings of the author's grandfather's farm in Brown County, Indiana, of memories from the first decades of his life, born of childhood loneliness, amid things he would do if he had the choice to get people to come and visit. This book follows decades of the development of a festival in the Sweetwater Creek valley. It is a presentation of equality and diversity that follows a girl and boy in their pursuit of forbidden love. It presents a global input into a microcosm while the harbingers of spring, from the constellations to the flowers to the wildlife, to annual happenings, mark the growth and education of the two main characters.This education is punctuated by the genetic development of a grand champion bull and a bloodline of prized cattle and the production of mules. A world court is depicted that hears cases of the lovelorn, annually, and gives opinions up to and including the provision of weddings. The book depicts the conversations of all introduced characters from wherever to the constants of the rural setting: the rules of bathing on the porch in a washtub and spitting on one's finger to entice the butterflies and making a bed of two pairs of pants for lovemaking. The story expands out of harsh fundamentalism, the ugliness of the gangs of Great Britain, the old assertion that behind every great fortune lies a crime (Balzac 1834), the drug cartels, and the systematic destruction in the prisoner of war camps. Love does triumph. The driving force of the girl protagonist is the belief that if you have been denied of your own dreams, you should do whatever you can to help others not be denied their dreams.The Harbingers of Spring is a retelling of stories made up by the author to maintain interest by his wife in fighting leukemia, born of desperation--an effort to entice her to want to hang on, just to hear one more story, and a plea for her to continue to live.

Have you ever been trapped or confined in the beliefs and fear of others?She was a little girl who was trapped in a cocoon, knowing her capabilities but scared to evolve. She grew comfortable in discomfort; she shrank herself to fit that space that she no longer belonged until that discomfort could no longer be contained. Her walls became her enemy until she broke the casing from within. Her wings she must spread. A beautiful butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. She questioned her existence, until her purpose she found. Her thoughts and expressions were all gloomy, but also, it was her reality. Emotions, though not felt in a physical way, manifested in a physical way. She explored, and even with a broken wing, she soared. She began her hero's journey to become her own real-life hero.

Margarita tells us, "The sweetest hours of my life have been the ones I spent taking care of my three children: Noel, Luis, and Maria. My greatest pleasure was always having them clean and happy, and their greatest joy for them was to listen to my stories every night, so every day my imagination had to create a new story to please him."This book collects some of the stories that the author was able to write down at night--after her children fell asleep--with the intention that these children's stories could be read to other children at bedtime.

TeaserHave you ever wanted to read The King James Version of the Holy Bible but found it too confusing? I have. And during those times, I would give up and put my Bible away. I even tried reading different versions of the Bible like the NIV. I became even more confused because different bibles have different vocabularies and styles. Later I decided that I would read the Bible according to the way that would make me and my sisters understand it after our mother passed away. In reading to make us understand, I found the key to unlock many of the meanings in the Bible. First, I decided to read one Bible: The King James Version of the Holy Bible. I summarized each book into its major lesson: then, I broke each chapter of that book into smaller bits and pieces, sticking to the rules of constructing an English composition paragraph. But instead of using transitions to guide the reader from one idea to the next one, I used bullets for developing each idea. Also, during the summaries of each book and its chapters, I paid closed attention to the English literary elements, which I refer to as the 5 w's (who, what, when, where, and why) and the use of figurative language. These writing processes come to you automatically when you read all texts. Now, I have given you the keys to read more deliberately with the purpose to understand and fully engage with this text and many more.

There are many books covering the rules of golf but very little written on how to be a golf referee (rules official). Most people do not realize that almost all golf referees are volunteers. Sure many of them get lunch or breakfast covered while at a tournament. But very few actually get paid. The comradery and passion for the game of golf are what inspires most golf enthusiasts to begin an exploration of the rules. From there, many want to help with golf tournaments. There is very little guidance other than word of mouth on how to become involved or what golf referees do. Some seem to think that golf referees hang out in the woods and race out in a golf cart to tell a player they incurred a penalty. But on the contrary, we try to help players avoid penalties and be there for them when they have questions to insure they play according to the rules. We also help set up the course (set the tees, mark the course, and choose hole locations) and set up the tournament (notice to players, local rules, starting times, and many other administrative duties). We hope this book provides a different side of golf that might inspire you to become a golf referee.

A little chicken wants to do whatever is necessary to fit in, when all he really needs to do is be himself in order to be happy.

This is a true story of a man who has spent most of his life in prison due to an unjust system and the struggles and hardships he has faced as a result. Our system is broken, and his story shows you how life changes. He wrote the story to motivate, inspire, and encourage people to stay strong and to not let the people in life or the system break them. Go for what you believe in. It is better to attempt and fail than not attempt at all. Change is possible. People are so used to being told what they can't do, and they begin believing it and don't attempt to do. People need motivation, inspiration, and encouragement. Who better to give this to them than someone who has walked a mile in their shoes.This is what my story is for.

Long ago in an ancient land, a group of nomadic people, without a land to call their own, wished to gain passage through a land of bellicose nations known throughout history as the Moabites and Amorites. To the very unfortunate peoples who happened upon the borders of these barbaric nations, they would ultimately be cut off in battles waged against them, until one dreadful day. Emissaries were dispatched in the hopes of obtaining permission to pass through their land, but instead war broke out and brought an end to those antagonistic nations.The battle was fought on the East Side of the Amon River, in what is now the land of Jordan. Both the Moabites and the Amorites were no match for the nomads, who had endured living in the wilderness and surrounding mountains for almost half-century. Those nomadic people also had possession of a very powerful book, in which all of their victories were recorded. The year in which the battle against the Moabites and Amorites was fought is recorded as 1290 BCE.It is said that the book was given to them from on high, and during battles their leader would simply hold the book up toward heaven, and celestial beings would destroy their enemies. It then became known throughout all the surrounding lands and nations that their God was a powerful being who fought on their behalf.As centuries passed, the use of the book became extinct, and as a result, a high priest set out to hide the book in various parts of the world, so that no one person or nation could harness its power to be used against humanity. In the event that the book was ever needed, the high priest left clues and codes that, once deciphered, would lead to the various hiding places of each part of the book.The world is now facing an enemy that has not been seen since times of old--an enemy far more sinister than can be imagined by the human mind. Now an epic world battle is nearing, and without the book, all will be lost.This story starts simply. It begins with the search for:The Book of the Wars of God

Just Saying is a gathering of short stories, thoughts, and subjects presented in a random format. There is no sequence or timeline to follow. You can start anywhere and even stop in the middle if that's your preference. Or read from beginning to end. That would be my preference, of course. Each piece is meant to stand on its own just like the characters and experiences that inspired this collection.I hope you find something on each page or in each story that will bring you a smile or a tear, an aha moment, or even an "I knew that" confirmation, reassurance, or the simple knowledge that we aren't alone in life's journey.I hope my words do justice to those people and experiences that have shaped and blessed my life.Just saying.

This book is essentially a biography of my uncle. I had always thought of him as a wonderful person, but in the back of my mind, I figured it was just family caring--then I witnessed his memorial service. There were so many people touched by him in life. I had to write about him! He was more than my uncle--he was a good friend, a father figure, a big brother, and a caring individual.

Frank Callas is nobody's fool and everyone's victim. He is a harmless, hapless, and curious young man who has extraordinary experiences at school in Switzerland and in elite levels of British society in the mid-1960s. His curiosity about people makes him vulnerable to other people's whims, and he often suffers the indignation of being out of place. He assumes James Bond posturing occasionally, trying to fool himself that he is something larger than his own reality. He is a clever fellow who uses a tuxedo to disguise his rough edges. He is softhearted but a heartbreaker. His intentions are honorable, but he often trips over the fine points of being an adult. Frank is uncommonly lucky to have a host of friends and girlfriends who are willing to tolerate his haphazard journey into his adulthood. It's hard not to like Frank. He wants so very much to please people.
