Alone, among other men who are also alone. Sleep a little on deck as others keep watch. Wake up. Shake off the groggies. Clean the guns. Reflect. Check the torpedoes. Weary. Wander the deck. No talk of family. Our futures - too tenuous. Survive in the moment. Time floating by in seconds and minutes. Too cold at night. Too hot in the day. Wet. Sunburned. Debilitating hunger. Tokyo Rose lurking in the mangroves. All of this punctuated by intense moments of what happens in war. Historians describe big battles, relate statistics, and overview events that changed the world. But it's also compelling to visualize how real men experienced real life day by day. It was 1944, and Bill was eighteen. He thought life had prepared him for twenty months in the Pacific on PT Boat 244, but had it? This book records his war memoirs, always inquiring, was there a ghostly presence that beckoned him, brutalized him, haunted him? He probes the questions many veterans ponder:Why did I enlist? The beckoning. Who were the people that most affected me? What did I experience? The brutalizing. What were the lingering consequences? The haunting. When bombs fell upon Japanese cities, the war ended, but not for Bill. For him, it continued for decades of being haunted by night sweats, horrific dreams, confusion. How, after seven decades, he found relief from PTSD is a message that he urgently shares.

See how money can make or break anyone in its path, causing quite the destruction. Nothing is ever what it seems when it comes to Carey and her immediate surroundings. You'll never know what danger is lurking in the dark or what strange and unusual things will pop up next.

The Proving Ground by Karl Buck Rodgers[--------------------------------------------]

When we are trained as first responders, it is impossible to be ready for everything we may be faced with. Commonly, a lot of it is covered by book learning, but the worst is not. How can anyone prepare you for some of the sights and pain you will experience? Each call is different, and the more years you serve, the more chances you will eventually be faced with hard-to-recover-from events. Balancing the good, bad, and ugly is sometimes difficult. We have a plan for many situations; however, there are those that are hard to believe even for seasoned but caring humans. These are the unforgettable events that some do not feel comfortable to even talk about, ever. Or they feel like they can but no one really wants to hear about it. Who can be prepared for arriving on the scene and it is their best friend, their mother, or their only son? Training can slip away and they can become a victim too. This book contains events and circumstances that can and do happen to us as first responders. However, it can and does happen to others too. I have found that talking about it with others helps tremendously. If we do not reach out to others, how can we expect them to know how or when to help us? I have also found, for me, helping others in similar circumstances helps me to heal. Working together with the police, fire, and EMS is a must. We are brothers and sisters, which means, a family. We are much more comfortable wearing the helper hat than the help-me hat. But first, we have to acknowledge, we are humans too. Thank you, Jonathan Peters, PhD, who not only encouraged my writing but helped me put it all together into a book.

"e;Indeed the worst of all being in the sight of 'Allah' (god of Islam) Are those who persist in disbelief never to have faith (in Allah)."e; (Quran Surah Al Anfal 8 .55)Jeremiah in this novel, based on real facts and true events, is an American-Jew news reporter, trying to reveal the truth about the war in the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Syria). He has to confront the face of death and terror "e;in the Name of Allah."e; Allah Akbar (Allah is great). "e;I have been made victorious with terror."e; (Al Sunnah Sahih Al Bakhari 4.52.220)A man can be destroyed but not defeated, you cannot stop what is coming if you do not focus on it. As long terror is out there . . . who's going to be next?There is no news in the whole world better than bad news, beheading, burning, cutting limbs, crucifixion of no believers in Sharia law. All these emotions experienced by Jeremiah in the presence of treat and danger and fear for his existence, in the name of Allah! Who is coming to rescue Jeremiah?

Striking Resemblance is a book focusing on the dream of two best friends. Their dream was to become the best police officers for the town of Shafer, Kentucky. Since they both were only sixteen years old, all their investigations of a cold case murder that happened thirty years before and the recent murder had to be kept between the two of them. Their current interest in the cold case was sparked by the latest murder that occurred in the same family and in the same house. Since their friend had been charged with the latest murder, they knew they had to get busy and prove the authorities wrong. Little did these best friends realize that by solving the latest murder they would also solve the cold case. Marshall and Jerod, the main characters, were very head strong and determined to stay the course. Their diligence paid off. A book such as this one, which has its main characters solving two murders that were decades a part, is worth reading.

Will starting an Earth school classroom on Xeracik be a way to fix the problem? What if a first day of school means interacting with aliens?

Xeracik has become very unstable. The surface of this planet has become worse than any earthquake or active volcano on Earth, so the normally peaceful Xeracik may think they have a reason to become aggressive. Besides, Earth is a lower form of intelligence, so maybe they feel justified to take over the Earth and make it their new home. How would you feel if the future of our planet was dependent upon how you get along with your alien friend? Sometimes, we just have to trust that things will work out. Sometimes, we have to trust what we don't understand. Sometimes, we just dig in and do the best we can.

Park Rose is a story based on actual events that occurred in my life growing up. I titled the book Park Rose because Park Rose was a street I lived on in Duarte, California, a very nice, quiet neighborhood in the Monrovia area. Our house wasn't right in the middle of the neighborhood, but I'm sure all the screams and sounds coming from that house made it the center of the neighborhood attention. I will never forget the things that occurred on Park Rose and in my life thereafter. God has brought me a might long way. Without God, I know I would not be here being able to share my testimony with you all. I also wanted to make awareness to mental illness. Enduring through years of abuse, my mother was not able to care for us appropriately anymore. She is not able to care for herself today. Abuse doesn't just end when the abuse stops; it continues for years without the proper help.

This book was written to break down some of the Church's false beliefs that they are imposing on us; by doing so, it will allow the reader to have a clear understanding of what may or may not be true, thus allowing the reader to question how they stand in their own belief system and how they wish to believe. For man's understanding of who is God and the destiny of man may become clearer in allowing for the possibility that the Church is relying on our ignorance and therefore on their ability to become false prophets. Thanks to my wife, Michele, who encouraged me and stood by me. Without her, this book would not have been possible.

A series of deaths occur publicly. Provided the nature of a public setting and multitude of witnesses, the investigation becomes a federal matter. Two diametrically opposed special agents, Kyle Frazier and Norman Wiley, draw the unlucky straw for this case. They quickly find out that the case is not a slam dunk because aside from the witnesses, there is one random piece of cryptic evidence that links the deaths together-a small blank sheet of paper. Regardless of all the resources awarded the federal government, the case's difficulty becomes secondary to the deep-rooted tension between the two agents. Secrets from the past can shape a person's future. The problem is, their secrets, unbeknownst to them, can shape the outcome of this case.

His father refused to pay the fee. The candidate took his life. Cover-ups are made by the police for the mayor. A policeman, the mayor's cousin, attempted to rob a deceased victim's valuables. A gay policeman was denied rights to address negative treatment. His pension is questioned. The mayor's drug usage fuels problems. No rebuttals or charges have been filed against Tauro. An investigation by the federal government is under consideration. The mayor was reelected for a seventh two-year term.

When John McCormack, a Scottish mining engineer living and working in Ghana, visited Jimmie in his Barons Court flat, accompanied by his girlfriend, Veronica Sam, Jimmie, who had only recently met the engineer while on a visit to the mining town of Tarkwa, had a business proposal. He would persuade him to go into business, trafficking gold. If he agreed, John would get the gold from the mining company in a manner only he would determine, Jimmie would fly to Ghana, collect it, and bring it to England to sell. The two would split the proceeds straight down the middle. With Veronica present, however, Jimmie was somewhat inhibited but hoped for an opportune moment to bring up the subject.

A teaspoon full of the stuff will bring you several thousand naira."e; Jimmie registered the statement in his mind and decided that perhaps the red mercury track would be more lucrative than his business plan.
