The collection of life experiences enclosed herein are true incidents that I witnessed or actively participated in. In many of them, I narrowly evaded some dire consequences of military justice via avenues of quick thinking, slick talking, or just plain dumb luck! I discovered a couple of best kept secrets that helped me skate through these adventures. Those secrets being, know what is in the Bureau of Personnel manual; have a good understanding of the grievance procedures (under the right circumstances, an enlisted dude can put the Commanding Officer on report; but you had better do your homework!); and lastly, tie in with a mentor who will show you the "e;ropes"e; about the Navy!Now this is in no way a sailor's guide to misbehaving. It is simply a comical look at one sailor that may well have proven himself to be a "e;magnificent bastard"e; as he advanced from Seaman Recruit to Senior Chief!

Riam, a hunter in his hillman clan, has no idea what is about to happen to him. As he returns from a hunt for food, he encounters trolls, orcs, and a rogue hillman ranger who plots against his people. With the help of the dwarf Toram, whom he saves, Riam avenges his betrayed clan and discovers how the manipulations of clan politics is normal for his people and decides to try a new way. With the help of Toram, he uses the wealth and weapons he acquires along the way to leave the culture of the hillmen and become a dwarf-trained warrior in pursuit of vengeance for his dead father and mother. He joins a quest that seeks to fulfill the ambitions of all the members of an adventuring party, and along with Toram, his dwarven friend, he heads north into perilous danger. Trespassing into the lands of the Witch King and entering into an orcish stronghold to acquire a fabled lost treasure almost costs them their lives. Riam encounters a dragon guarding a treasure, and his method of dealing with it leaves more problems than answers. The group finishes their quest in the north but are left with the problem of returning south. The return trip is as dangerous but just as profitable as they leave the north and return home.

Calmness The smell of the ocean encourages one to have a peaceful state of mind. The cadets were exchanging stories about all the single and handsome Mortelle Agents especially the ones that peaked their interest. Fawn laid comfortably on a beach towel stretched out across white sand far away from her friends. She was not up to adult chatter especially about men that were training them. She brought books to read that had nothing to do with crime or anything else that required her to think. She left all electronics inside her duffle bag in the hotel room. The surrounding air was crisp and fresh. Fawn was envisioning herself running along the shore line. And possibly hunting for seashells to put inside her small aquarium that she was currently working on. I am curious as to how you apprehended Shelly Wilkinson. The lady was more than dangerous."e; Battle nodded. "e;Fawn, have your ever dated a man seriously? She nodded. Than you should understand, what a man will do to gain your favor. I became the type of man that she wanted. I acted the part of a long-term man for thirty days and then I took it all back."e; Fawn frowned."e;You were sexually involved with a mass murderer for thirty days? And, then you walked away from her. Battle smirked. I would have been terrified."e; "e;No, I would not say all of that. Real terror can never cripple you Fawn. But what can is the constant anticipation of it.DismissAn internal audit of all cases that were still open placed a frown on the Chief Director Lawrence Reeds face. He oversaw the Mortelle Division and expected more from his agents. He quickly made some changes. Director Blanche Kayfus had been replaced. Senior Supervisory Agent Melvin Madoff was offered her position first, but he declined. The position was then offered to Director Jordon Fowler. Madoff was a born field agent, and nothing could replace that for him. Most importantly he did not like bureaucratic bull shit. CompromisePrecious, I would like to start off by saying, the black boots look nice with the pretty gray skirt, but it goes against our uniform policy."e; Precious turned completely around. "e;I do not know which one of those statements insulted my ears the most. Whats' wrong with my boots? The gray skirt is a far cry from being pretty!"e; Phillip looked down at her boots. "e;What happen to the shoes your father bought you?"e; "e;Uncle Phillip, those black shoes are ugly! It's bad enough, I have to wear this tacky skirt set. Now, I cannot wear my boots! What a joke!"e;Entitled Why did you give up your man cave?"e; Scott burst out laughing. "e;Now for three very good reasons, Craig. First of all, I'm tired of smelling weed. Second of all, my father cut my money in half. And, I'm saving the best for last. Paying fourteen hundred monthly verses three hundred makes for a better fiscal responsible man. So, in a nutshell, no sponsorship means no money. I cannot pay bills because of trickle-down economics. Charms does not know about the crib so let's keep it that way, shall we?"e;

This all started when someone came up to me one day and said, "e;I heard about your poems. You are a poet, but you don't know it yet."e;

The legend of King Arthur has been part of the literary fabric of Western culture since at least the time of the early sixth-century Welsh poet Aneirin-principally through Geoffrey of Monmouth's early twelfth-century Historia Britainum, the late twelfth-century romances of Chretien de Troyes, Sir Thomas Mallory's Le Morte d' Arthur (fifteenth century), Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and more recently, in America at least, the narrative poems of Edwin Arlington Robinson and Lerner and Loewe's "e;Camelot,"e; with its emphasis on the illicit love affair of Lancelot and Guenevere. Indeed, so prominent has the legend of King Arthur been in Western culture that before he turned to the Bible to write Paradise Lost, John Milton is said to have considered the Arthurian legend as the subject of an epic poem about the journey of the English people into Christianity. Now, in his Arthuriad, award-winning poet Frank Salvidio retells the story of the internecine rivalries that culminated in the tragic end of Arthur's attempt to found an ideal kingdom based on Christian principles and protected by a brotherhood of Christian warriors-the Knights of the Round Table. The Arthuriad tells the story in a series of dramatic monologues in which all the dramatis personae offer self-revealing recollections of the part each played in the tragedy of Arthur's failed attempt to establish Christian civilization in a pagan world. What emerges is the story of unrestrained human passions undermining the spiritual aspirations on which Arthur sought to establish his ideal kingdom.

I am not a financial adviser. I'm a single father of two with passive income solution. As any parent knows, having kids will teach you lessons in finances that no economics course ever could (although I do have a business degree). When my wife and I divorced in 2018, it was like a bomb went off. I had no more help with childcare, no more partner to stay up at night with a sick baby. I knew I had to get my finances in better shape in order to provide for myself and my family. I knew I wanted to provide for my children and their future, needing such things as college fund, a home where they had more space, and their own rooms. I interacted with the individuals whose finances trumped mine. I began to see patterns on how to make money and what makes someone successful and applied them to my own life. The idea of ways to make money, leveraging my income, and making my money work for me instead me working for it triggered, and it became my goal to build passive income. Especially now, I realize how expensive it is to raise children, be single, and pay for day care. Even though as of writing this book we share the kids fifty-fifty, I still have to take them to day care so I can work. Not all the passive income ideas and tips mentioned in this book will work for you. Personally, I've implemented a few of the tips written. Each tip is different for each individual, and you have to do what you feel is best for you. What works for me may not necessarily work for you, and vice versa. I hope something in this book will ignite that fire in you to run with it in your life. Whether it's to build wealth, add to your retirement, or just put a few more bucks in your pocket, I am sure there's something in here for you. And, oh yes, I would like to thank our Lord and Savior because without Him, none of this would be possible.

Insight Without Change is a book about dilemmas that individuals have to deal with in their daily lives. The question-and-answer book is quite entertaining. It's as if you're taking a look behind a curtain or eavesdropping on some pretty sticky situations people find themselves in.

When a well-to-do widow decides on the spur-of-the-moment to leave her comfortable life in Florida and move to a remote island, she is not prepared for the wild ride that awaits her. Things turn out to be far more adventurous than she could have imagined.

The Abuelo Books were written as a companion book to The Yaya Books. Just as The Yaya Books describes the loving relationship that the little boy shares with his grandmother, The Abuelo Books shows the love and respect that the little boy also shares with his grandfather. In Book 1, "e;My Abuelo's Country Store,"e; the readers are given a glimpse of the way of life of the little boy's grandfather as the little boy tells about how he helps his grandfather in his country store. Working with Abuelo, his grandfather, the little boy learns lessons in stocking the shelves, helping the customers, and counting the money at the end of the day. In Book 2, "e;Abuelo's Red Truck and The Big Fish Story,"e; the readers once again are shown the love and respect that the little boy and his grandfather have for each other, as Abuelo tells him the story of Big Fish in the same way that it was told to him when he was a boy. The Abuelo Books were written in both English and Spanish so that the readers may enjoy reading them in the language that they are most comfortable with. The "e;Translated Words Index"e; at the back of the book includes a list of the Spanish and English words for counting numbers and money in addition to the general words translation. The Abuelo Books are books that you will enjoy reading with your children and grandchildren over and over again.

Human beings generally attribute any physical, mental, or financial catastrophe to the random punitive decree of God, including death. All religions speak about destiny. In this book, I have demonstrated that whatever happens to us are determined by our genetic makeup and the DNA. Of course, the genes and DNA are created by God Himself who is the cause of all causations. In different religions, there is mention of an angel of death, whether this angels causes death or just receives the soul at the time of death is not clear. I have pointed out that natural cause of death is a function of the deteriorating telomere at the end of the chromosome. The other deaths due to accidents, epidemics, famine, and natural disasters are due to natural causes and is self-explanatory. I have mentioned the influence of epigenetics in our gene expression. The influence of epigenetics was recently confirmed in space travel as reported by NASA. This book also alludes to the fact that God does not interfere in our day-to-day activities and that is left for our free will.

Working as an investigator for the past forty years, for both the public and private sectors, ingrains in one a unique outlook and perspective on all facets of life. Sharing these perspectives through the eyes of the protagonist, Investigator Nick Moore, allows the reader to grasp the logical, albeit overlooked abilities that can be honed and utilized through a lifetime of experience solving investigations. Retired detective and now corporate investigator Nick Moore conducts various investigations at Guardian Angel Hospital, located in suburban New Jersey. The field of corporate investigation appealed to his desire to continue his education as an investigator, and to uphold a new crucial public institution from the police force to medical providers. During the course of his investigations he discovers crimes that are currently being committed at the hospital, that appear to be random acts, are connected. The true nature of a more complex plan begins to unfold and must be stopped in order to save countless lives from destruction. All this while Nick Moore attempts to hold his private life and his relationship with his workers together and not fall into depression, obsession, or be killed by a ruthless, unwavering enemy that could be someone he works with or knows through his connections at the hospital. The ride the reader takes at Guardian Angel Hospital is suspenseful and thrilling, with pitfalls and tragedy along the way. The antagonist is relentless in pursuit of his goals and is the antithesis of Nick Moore and Nick's relentless efforts to stop him. Nothing on this ride can be taken for granted, but the reader will be sorry when it ends.

On the Scent of a Continent: Memories of Africa-a young, recent college graduate brought up and educated in the United States finds himself travelling on his first business trips through Africa on behalf of a Swiss-based multinational fragrance corporation, encountering, and doing his best to cope with situations, people, and challenges that he never imagined, and learning lessons that he did not even know were there to learn. At the same time, a travel memoir and a coming-of-age story, On the Scent of a Continent recounts a series of captivating vignettes that are instructive and often funny and give an interesting insight into what this unique and entrancing continent was like fifty years ago. Interwoven in the text is also much aviation lore with absorbing and extensive background information about some of the airlines and airplanes of the mid twentieth century. The diverse and eventful episodes recounted in the book are both charming and informative, and seventy-four illustrations bring the witty and lighthearted text even more to life.

The Change is an engrossing adventure saga whose central character, Orchid, has the unenviable task to somehow assure that a small diverse segment of the human race survives an upcoming catastrophe, thus assuring the continuation of the Homo sapiens line.

This book was compiled from a paper that was written while I attended seminary college. God revealed that others would gain knowledge and benefit from this work. As I studied in preparation for this book, I was enlightened by this study and wanted to know more beyond this particular assignment. This study and daily research was intense, but it was full circle in God's plan to be written. As you read this book, my prayer for each of you is that this message resonates in your heart and mind. It is my prayer that this study is what you've been searching for. When we keep our eyes on God, we know there is nothing he cannot do, "e;We, the Apostles"e; shares insight into the disciples and their time at the feet of Jesus. Today, we are not at Jesus's physical feet, but as we mature in the holy word, we are sitting at his spiritual feet receiving all that we need. My prayer is to make sure we are aware of the special yet serious impact the disciples continue to have on our spiritual lives. I continue to look to God for clarity and wisdom. I also asked for his direction in completion of this work. We as believers must look to God for direction and wisdom in our daily lives. As we look to God, he will lead us in the right direction. I am a firm believer in doing the work for the kingdom of God!Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understandingProverbs 3:13

In His Majesty's Secret Service is the memoir of a career agent with the United States Secret Service. Chris Murphy recounts a life nearly cut short by severe asthma. His parents were told to prepare to lose their son in childhood. God had other plans, and Chris never lost the sense of gratitude and enthusiasm that comes with second chances. It is to God's glory that he worked and succeeded. The Secret Service raised him to leadership, but he started public service in law enforcement as an Auburn, Alabama, policeman in 1978. Chris was involved in the full array of municipal police work, including having to shoot an escaped felon. As a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agent, he worked major felony cases, including participation in the seizure of 1,200 pounds of 98 percent pure cocaine. By God's grace, he ended up arresting the kingpin and his accomplice without backup or adequate weaponry. Bad guys should never bring their daughters to work. In 1985, Chris joined the US Secret Service. He worked federal criminal investigations, including threats against the president and other protectees. He also guarded every president from Ronald Reagan through George W. Bush. He protected vice presidents, presidential candidates, visiting foreign leaders, and former presidents. Chris traveled to over twenty different countries and most of the United States performing his duties. Meeting President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul within a two-week period was exhilarating! Conversely, getting the second lady and her aging parent lost in France was demoralizing. A healthy sense of humor and humility are needed in such extremes. Fortunately, Chris has both. He taught terrorism, hostage negotiation, and protective intelligence in the Office of Training. Rising to retire as the special agent in charge of Alabama and Mississippi, Chris helped manage the events and consequences of September 11, 2001, and Hurricane Katrina. In 2006, Murphy's demonstrated leadership and innovation contributed to his postretirement appointment to Alabama governor Bob Riley's cabinet as director of public safety. After completing Riley's mission, Murphy was appointed to Mayor Todd Strange's cabinet bearing the same title over the police, fire, emergency communications, and emergency management agencies. He served seven years in Montgomery, bringing his total public service to forty remarkable years. His Secret Service encounters with history are unforgettable. Chris's passion for ethics, leadership, and his Christian faith provided courage to make tough, necessary decisions. It has been a truly fascinating career!

When Cramton Bowl was completed in 1922, no one had any idea of the unique place it would occupy in sports history. It was originally conceived as a multi-purpose facility that would focus on baseball and served as the spring training home for the Philadelphia A's for two seasons, with many professional teams stopping in for exhibition games, including a rematch of the 1926 World Series between the Yankees and the Cardinals in 1927. As the largest established stadium in the state during those early years, Alabama and Auburn played more than 70 football games in the facility, treating fans to the likes of Paul "e;Bear"e; Bryant and Don Hudson. It was home to the first HBCU Classic, the Turkey Day Classic between Alabama State and Tuskegee, and the site of the first night football game in the South (as well as the first night college football game and the second pro baseball game under the lights in the South). For more than 60 years it was home to the Blue-Gray All Star Football Classic where stars such as Y.A. Tittle, Len Dawson, Fran Tarkenton, Howie Long and Jerry Rice roamed the sidelines of Cramton Bowl, but there were plenty of other activities in the stadium during that time, including 'Lucky' Teter's traveling daredevil show in 1934, the Negro League World Series, games involving the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and Billy Graham's Greater Montgomery Crusade in 1965.

Oneonta is the only city in the large Central New York counties of Otsego, Delaware, and Schoharie. The earliest settlers in 1780 knew the place as a "e;dammed hemlock swamp."e; By 1930, it had become an established regional metropolis towering over all area localities. Oneonta is an exciting story, and this comprehensive book is a unique treasure. The big stories are all there, such as the turnpikes, Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, D&H, cigar rolling, normal school, Hartwick College, and more. Yet so are accounts of sidewalks, cemeteries, boardinghouses, Barn Hill, charity, piano manufacturer, and many others. Maybe more important still was the predominant thought about business affairs. There is much on that too. With rich detail and over 350 heavily annotated pictures, those 150 years to the Great Depression are described as never before and, most likely, never again.

There was a dilemma with writing this book. In order to understand the tip of the iceberg, it's necessary to understand the iceberg. Unfortunately, if you don't believe the tip of the iceberg, you're certainly not going to believe the iceberg. Jesus said, "e;If I tell you earthly things and you don't believe me, how can I tell you heavenly things?"e; It took me about ten years, but I finally made the iceberg believable and understandable to most people. The book involves government conspiracy, which is the very tip of the iceberg. The book explains the iceberg first and works its way up to conspiracy. To understand the iceberg, it was necessary to push the envelope of the conventional realm of perceived reality and go into metaphysics, galactic allies, and galactic enemies. The book explains how humanity is going to go through a transitional period and into a new paradigm of experience. Although this book often quotes from God (what we call God) and Jesus, it's unquestionably not a religious book.

Within a lifetime, it only takes one to change the course of events. One to make a choice. An object to influence destiny. A person to make things right. It only takes one to make tomorrow different. To make tomorrow an adventure into something wonderful. Or let it descend into a realm of chaos. A portal into destruction. That one presence, or lack thereof, helps to choose the path our life takes forever onward. Into the hand of God, we place our spirit as we choose to let that presence remain, or send it on its way forever. The presence stays and tomorrow is good. The guiding force leaves and tomorrow is bad. Sometimes life is just that simple. Such are the fates of Lazar, Jingles, and Bunson at this present hour. As well as another. A dream is dreamed below the stars as he enters the scene. A cousin named Sylvester Alexander Koala. A dream he dreams with one so special, and another so close. They walk into a night like none before. A night event taking place outside of December that will eventually mean much. Not only to the trio from Michigan, but to those who watch a yo-yo swing. Stars shine bright then blink. The darkness falls into the ground. The best of us is forced out into the cruelty of this world's night. For time and again in a world of yesterdays, nothing happened. The world walked on, and goodness was swallowed up in shadow's victory. Nothing given in return. However, this is not the world of yesterday. This is one crushing night the world is forced to give something back. For Sylvester is no ordinary Koala. Lazar, Jingles, Bunson, together with their friend Jack Thompson, each will learn what happens when right is wronged, when dreams are made real and then turned into nightmares. Their hopes will be doubled and dashed, only to be darkened into eternity's dawn. Lazar, Jingles, Bunson, their cousin Sylvester, and the entire planet Earth are about to learn what happens when stars cease to shine.

During three decades of driving a commercial semitruck across the nation, I have been continually amazed of the dependence the society has become used to of products of all kinds to be available at all times at their convenience. To see what farmers and manufacturing companies produce, driven by competition and demand, is very impressive to me. We are a blessed country to have an abundance of many resources. I think society and a large growing population has become used to and come to expect the ongoing delivery system we have and are somewhat spoiled. It is a very complex and sensitive logistics system at work 24-7. As the population continues to increase, so will the dependence of the trucking industry, and with the growing shortage of qualified drivers, my desire is to raise the awareness of this to all.
