Moon Sauce is the autobiographical journey of a girl who grew up on a farm in Minnesota. Stories of the author's childhood depict real events of an imaginative child in a cruelly realistic world of hard work, an abusive mother, and a loving but distant father. Through humor, horror, and hope, the girl grows to womanhood to fulfill the dreams she created amidst a world that offered her nothing, but which she took anyway. Moon Sauce is a metaphor for canned peaches. Instead of her stark reality, she viewed her world not of the ordinary and practical, but perceived as sliced and halved peaches transformed from the crescent and half spheres of the moon while she dusts off the heavy black loam soil and transforms it into stardust to reach for the moon.

After the Vietnam War, Russell lived in Everett Washington, having spent the end of his enlistment in Bremerton shipyard across the water from Seattle in Puget Sound. After attending college and settling in civilian life after six years Navy time, it became necessary to return home. Social stigma after Vietnam and finances left a choice of leaning on friends or a return to home to start over at the age of twenty-seven. The return to Nashville helped keep the thread of music and writing alive. Finding adapting to civilian life and work lonely and difficult, he began retreating mentally and emotionally into himself and began writing down thoughts, beginning with a letter to a friend left behind. Typical of letters not mailed and thoughts unsaid, these were collected over the years reflecting on deeper meaning of life experiences, viewpoints of the past, searching identity, and meaning of the present, as each page was recorded anticipation and remembrance, highs and lows of life. Collected by his wife, Suzanne, for family, sister, and Indian friend and mentor, in a volume for the holidays one year. This book is the narrative of those collected thoughts.

"e;There is always tomorrow"e; is something that I try to remind myself every day. My heavenly father has given me a faith that I rely on daily to make it through the challenges of life. We all have challenges we must face. Many times, the challenges and burdens we face can make me or you feel as if there is no way out. When you look to God and the strength inside yourself, there is always a way through all the storms of life. We all have an inner strength that oftentimes we don't know we have until we need it. Heavenly father never leaves us alone. He is always with you or me. We all have a spirit of a warrior inside us all. Having a warrior spirit does not mean that you will not be hurt or scarred by the trials of life. Usually, the opposite is true if we pray and listen to our hearts and do what God wants us to do. Then we will be able to navigate through the storms of life. God has given us this life and as part of it has given us the tools to make it through the journey we call life. When you feel as if you can't handle one more thing that life can throw at you, remember to look to God and there is always tomorrow. Never give up on life or yourself. There is always a reason to look toward tomorrow. We are all special.

At this writing, I am sixty years old, and the realization that I'm not getting any younger has prompted me to put some things from my life down on paper. I am writing this for my daughter Gina and son Todd, who one day, may want to know what their father did during his younger years in the military. All of my stories take place from late 1968 to mid-1970. From basic training to AIT, but mostly my lovely tour of Vietnam in Southeast Asia. Some of my stories, I hope you will find funny, and some I know you will find tragic, and others may get me in trouble. I hope there is a statute of limitations on some of the things I have done or seen. As I share my stories with you, I will also be using some slang terms that were used in Vietnam. I've created a glossary in the back of the book for these terms. Please refer to them if needed. I hope I touch the heart of my daughter and son and show you a small slice of my reality of what Vietnam was really like from a soldier's point of view.

In 1962, Mother Earth sent fourteen-year-old Xander Gadeski to a small village in Upstate New York to uncover the truth behind the suspicious death of a Seneca girl, Pretty Flower. At least, that's what Pretty's girlfriend, Phaedra Cooper, comes to believe when she meets the minor seminarian at Pretty's grave. She notices an odd connection between Xander and Skagedi, an ancient Seneca legend, who used an array of unusual powers, including splitting himself in half, to defeat evildoers. The relationship between this naive boy, sheltered by a close Polish Catholic family, and a girl nurtured by her Seneca culture yet isolated on the fringe of white entitlement and intolerance forms the heart of the story in Paul Drisgula's debut coming-of-age mystery novel. Xander is an unlikely and unwilling recruit to Phaedra's cause. His father, Stary, just died. His immature brain still can't wrap itself around God letting the Dodgers slip out of Brooklyn. Before meeting Phaedra, he is bullied continually and suffers a vicious sexual assault at his new school. The supernatural and natural worlds flow together like hot and cold from a tap as Phaedra and Xander forge an uneasy alliance to disprove the findings of the village police that Pretty's death was a suicide. Phaedra suspects boys from Xander's school murdered the love of her life. Pretty Flower communicates with the two amateur detectives through dreams as they forge a dangerous plan climaxing in an outdoor trial on the bridge where death found Pretty Flower and where Xander must use his new powers if he's to avoid a similar fate. In Drisgula's novel, Xander tells his own story, often with a lighter touch, softening some of its harsher themes by unmasking the dark humor skulking in the shadows behind forbidden sex, bullying, death, rape, murder, and sin.

She raised them like middle class even though they were poor. Growing up, David never saw drugs, pimps, or players. It was not until David turned eighteen that he started to see drugs and prostitution after some guy had left David for dead because they were jealous of him for going to school and working and even trying to get a scholarship to college to play basketball.

That's when David started noticing her stealing money and depositing it into her own private credit union. He thought that she was putting it away for a rainy day, so he never said anything. It seemed like everybody was trying to steal from him-his family, his best friend, everybody except for his mother and father. But this was David's way of keeping up with the game. It was David's way of practicing for the people that were not family or friends. The people that were close to David wanted to bring him down and take over his little cartel. And his cousin did bring him down, sending David to federal prison. This story details the life of David Dean.

Back in the late 1980s, I had the idea to write a poem about the Book of Revelation. After writing that poem, I thought to myself, "e;What if I could write the entire Bible in an easier-to-read-poem format?"e; That had never been done before, so I accepted the challenge. After about nine years of writing and rhyming, it finally came into being. I hope people will find this labor of love as an inspiration to read and learn from the Bible.

This book is a mix of stories about growing up in Detroit, going to Catholic school, and the Polish people in the fifties and sixties. The author tried his best to present everything in this book accurately despite not having a research staff like the famous writers have. He only had himself, his computer, his memory, a big pile of books, and note cards that he painstakingly used to put this story together. As a fireman, one of the things the author learned was that it takes three things to make a fire: air, fuel, and heat. Remove one, and you can't have a fire. He believes that it takes three things to make everything. Similar to making fire, there are three things that it took to make this book: the city of Detroit, the Catholic Church, and Polish ancestry. If you have one or two or maybe all three of these things, you may like this story. So if your mom wore a babushka, if nostrovia is your toast, if you had a last name that kids made fun of, or if you grew up reading your catechism while looking at church steeples and smokestacks, maybe this book is for you. Bob Dombrowski also wrote, 38 Years: A Detroit Firefighter's Story.

This is a fictional drama about a young Benedictine monk and the daughter of a wine farmer in Sicily, Italy, in the seventeenth century. As a child, Gicomo had been chosen by the holy father Boniface VIII to become the leader of the greatest religious school of the time, in a compromising struggle to maintain political and religious power. The characters are involved in an intricate conflict between their families and the Vatican, stirring up among them greed, fury, love, death, and revenge even in the afterlife. The author hopes that the reader will think about the real-life hypothesis as well as about what awaits us after death, under a rational, contemporary approach and free from the bonds of metaphors of traditional faith. The book brings some approaches about the continuation of the life of the man in a transcendental dimension and his relations with the physical world, constituting in that relation the true nature of the integral man. He clarifies that life does not cease with the death of the physical body and that the acts practiced in life will reflect their consequences throughout the journey of the immortal spirit. It defends the idea that death is simply the change from one environment to another, more subtle but no less material, establishing this milestone as a preponderant factor of the ideas defended by many philosophers, thinkers, and trainers of religious thought around the world, from ancient Greece to the present times. Veritas: The Dawn of Man is a work of fiction but of a philosophical character that seeks to understand some points still obscure in the way some trainers of religious thought teach the evolution of man and his transcendence in contact with the material world.
