Doo-Dad, a feral cat who took a chance on loveDoo-Dad was an abandoned cat living on the streets and alleys and under vacant homes with crawl spaces. I found him hiding between the fence of our property and that of the church property next door. He was covered in dirt and was very thin. His ears were folded down, which led me to believe he was a Scottish Fold cat. I walked toward him with a bowl of food, but he ran across the alley and under a vacant home. He wouldn't come out to eat until I left the yard and was back onto my back porch. I continued to feed this feral cat each day, morning and evening, talking to him while he ate so he would get used to my voice. As he looked deeply into my eyes each day, I fell in love with him, and something spoke to my heart. I knew I had to rescue this little cat no matter how long it took to save him. Doo-Dad fought to stay alive every day as was evident by the multiple injuries he had on his face and ears. He had an injury on the top of his head where he had been scalped from ear to ear. The fur on top his head was dangling, and you could see an open wound. It was urgent now that we try again to find a way to catch him and get him to a vet. This story is about Doo-Dad's two-year journey from a feral cat to a loving member of our family and chronicles the daily process that we went through to get him medical care and gain his trust. This was not an easy process as he constantly bit and scratched me even though I knew it was not out of meanness but fear. His courage through this entire process and his willingness to overcome fear and learn to trust and accept love has touched the hearts of all who knew him.

Author LaKisha Todd gives all credit to God who has guided her through her journey. If it wasn't for Him, she wouldn't be breathing. She gives Him all the praise and glory.

My Real Hue is an extraordinarily brave man's quest to fully understand and accept himself despite his family obstructing his path. Though it spans five decades, the story is a poignant reminder that adult life is constantly and comprehensively affected by childhood. From the instant readers meet young Danny, his torturous relationship with his parents is evident. His dysfunctional family capitulates everything from challenges with coming to terms with his sexuality to a set of burgeoning neuroses. He discovers the only way to save himself is to sever ties with the very people who brought him into the world. The reader will accompany Danny on his painful journey toward shattering the age-old notions that "e;blood is thicker than water,"e; "e;family is everything,"e; "e;family comes first,"e; "e;Thou shalt honor thy father and mother,"e; "e;You're going to regret severing your relationship with your parents when they are gone,"e; and the like. Readers in similar circumstances to Danny's will be confronting a thought-provoking alternative to the self-destructive, self-loathing, guilt-ridden, depressing, dangerously unhealthy, stressful, and often suicidal existence associated with feeling inextricably attached and obligated to an abusive and dysfunctional family. Danny will ultimately demonstrate to the reader that the potential stigma of being estranged from one's family may be well worth the tradeoff of being able to live out one's life far more happily, peacefully, healthfully, and self-fulfilled than one could have ever imagined.

Alexander was conceived during the Fifth World War and the World people were warring, which leads to a fight for survival. The reasons for the wars are never mentioned, but we can infer that the war was about wealth, control, and power. His birth and natural mother situation will reflect the dire and uncertainty of the times. His mother dies immediately after birth, and he becomes a ward of Mary. In Mary's care, he is given the name of the greatest known warrior of many past centuries, Alexander. Mary basically schools and trains Alexander in world affairs and warfare inspired by her dead husband, Colonel John's aspirations. He is trained in the art of war, but also with an added twist of intellectual training. The child's natural, innate, unusual mental abilities to learn, retain information, analytic ability-six, seven and eight senses-creates a one-of-a-kind warrior leader. As Alexander grows, he is tested mentally and physically, and the results are extraordinary. His leadership abilities are a conglomeration of many great leaders of the past, and his warrior abilities also reflect the many great warriors of the past. These attributions are tested during the Examinations to enter the Roughful Military Institute. He and thirty-one other people survived the almost-impossible trials and challenges of the tests and lived. At the school, under Alexander's leadership, his class exceeds every standard the school tests. And after leaving the school, he is recruited to lead a secret special paramilitary unit, a secret weapon controlled and mandated by the World Congress and the World's President. All impossible missions assigned the Operatives under the command of Alexander are completed successfully. As a result, when the President of the World is threatened, Alexander is called to head the President's personal security force. Under the watchful command of Alexander, all the President's threats to his health are despond or eliminated. Because of Alexander's unique style of leadership and peaceful character, he is voted to replace the President of the World who desperately wants to retire. During his tenure as President of the World for two years, the world experiences a period of peace and enlightenment. Then out of the blue, the World is faced with enslavement and domination from an advanced human race a galaxy away. Again, Alexander's leadership is tested, and he leads the World people to an almost-impossible victory. The World will enjoy a long peace. After a total of ten years, Alexander retires as President of the World; he and his family go home. He and his family will enjoy the leisurely life of the country.

The Dentist Chair is a compelling fictional novel about Dr. Harry James Maddox, once a highly respected and trusted pillar of the community. The Valley, as its residents call it, is snuggled deep within the basin of Southern California and is a pretentious small and tight-knit community. If there ever was a city that could be classified as utopia, it was Montgomery Valley. Outsiders are rarely accepted, but the Valley welcomed Dr. Maddox and his wife, Katrina, with open arms. They were an attractive couple. He was tall, lean, and extremely handsome, and Katrina was beautiful in her own right. Their daughters, Beverly and Angela, by virtue of their birthright were considered true Montgomerians and were expected to marry and remain safe and snug in this cozy environment. Dr. Edward Jones, a native Montgomerian retired after forty years of practicing dentistry, leaving a patient base of one hundred to Dr. Maddox. Within five years, he grew his patient base to over three hundred and fifty. His life could not have been more perfect or happy until he lost focus, bringing shame upon his family, his patients, and his community. His failure to distinguish between right and wrong, between what was moral and immoral, what was professional and unprofessional brought a community to its knees, creating chaos, doubt, mistrust, disgust, and betrayal. There were lies, deceit, and moments of grandeur leading to the unexpected. This once-perfect community of Montgomery Valley will forever be soiled by the actions of one man.

Middle-aged Troy Banalia is a burned-out lawyer from South Jersey who vacations in Baja California where he is entertained by the professional women of Tijuana. The wares of many ladies of the night are sampled by him until he meets the blonde bombshell Angelita. The sexual passion between them ignites immediately, and he soon falls madly in love with her as does she for him. When he returns to his law practice, a duplicitous client sells him out by telling the assistant district attorney a bunch of lies, which implicate Troy, in exchange for leniency. The beloved barrister becomes disbarred and is imprisoned. While serving a brief sentence, the broken Banalia decides to leave his former life behind and vows to return to Angelita and free her from the evil Hector, a.k.a. Solo, Lobo, her pimp. When he finds Angelita, the struggle between Troy and his armed entourage, the fearless private investigator Gary Brody and brave Mexican guide Jose Bravo, and the brutal gang of Solo Lobo, the gargantuan bodyguard Negro and cunning assistant Bruto, begins. Fueled by the backup of Brody and apt tutelage of Jose, Troy devises a series of plans to conquer Lobo once and for all and free Angelita forever. His affection for and friendship with his amigo nuevo grows during this learning process until his crestfallen companion eventually confides in him regarding the dark secret of why this honorable Mexican hombre is called El Bravo by those who know him. The battles for Angelita between the two warring camps commence at the top of Baja in this first novel, and continue south throughout the rest of the elongated peninsula to its inevitable end at the twin capes, Cabo San Lucas and San Jos del Cabo, in the sequel, Land's End, Cabo. Along the way from Tijuana to Los Cabos, Troy drives with Angelita always by his side in their desperate trip of escape. The surreal landscapes abound during their journey across this magical land. And all the adventure takes place against the background of beauty that prevails in this pristine peninsula. An ode to Baja so to speak.

The Baja Expatriate and Land's End, Cabo, both speak to the indomitable human spirit and the power of love. It is a story of personal redemption and the undeniable human need for freedom. An epic allegory about the never-ending battle between good and evil bestowed upon us by the master storyteller, Edwin Paul. It will inspire the reader to fight the good fight in one's life, and to strive for what we all need in our lives, reciprocal love.

More than that, he needs an adventure. Enter the Chief: a man who has not only been there and done that but has experienced and embraced both the people and the places, as well.

Kevin sat quietly in the two-man cell. His new cellmate was trying to whip up support among his inmate friends to "e;do something"e; about his new cellmate-me. This was definitely not going well. I could almost "e;feel"e; an assault or a knife attack coming. I made a decision. If I was going to die in prison, then I would take myself out rather than let some self-righteous, low-brow punk(s) do it. I could fight-the Army had trained me well-but how many would come at me? Would there be weapons? I quietly wrote a letter home and explained what I was going to do. After that, I placed the thirty-day supply of Atenolol in my pocket. Atenolol controls blood pressure by slowing your heart rate. If things went badly, I would take all of them at once- hopefully stopping my heart with a minimum of pain. I also spoke silently with God. I told Him, "e;If I have to do this, please don't send me to hell. I sincerely believe Lord that the guilt of this sin should be given to this animal, Doherty."e; This event was survived. There was a long road ahead. From false accusation to trial to false imprisonment then probation, this is a story of defeat and survival that nothing could prepare a person for.
