The author was born in the South Bronx in 1970, a time when chaos and despair wreaked havoc on the community, in a place where crime ruled the streets, where hope and poverty lived on the same side of the block. A young mother decided to take her baby boy and ran. She packed up and moved to a better place, a town called Springfield. It was a new home, where the butterflies hummed and the hummingbirds chirped to a new melody. The young boy lived his younger years in a state of bliss, that is until the dark clouds rolled in. The family fell on hard times. The author's biggest worries were where was the next meal coming from or how to stay warm in a frigid apartment. Times were tough, but the young boy kept his resolve and was undeterred by all the misery around him. He found a better place, a place inside himself. Even though everything around him was falling apart--including his family life, school, and friendships--he never faltered and kept his chin up. When you hit rock bottom, there is only one way to go: up. Like the saying goes, "Seven times down, eight times up."Throughout the years, the author was able to overcome great adversity and make a better life for himself. He has owned and operated several martial arts schools in the New York City area. The author also founded the Kids of New York, an organization which holds free events for city youth including breaking (breakdance) and martial arts. Hope is what gives us direction. Passion is the wings beneath are feet. Anything is possible despite the obstacles we may face. Just keep moving forward, and you will surely reach a better place. Karate, Anthony.

I probably watch too much news, read too many newspapers, magazines, and blogs, and have too many conversations with people about politics. Often in my mind, I consider myself better than politicians. I may be better than some but not all of them. What I notice is that I make similar mistakes to those in charge. Because of this, I'm willing to say I'm not perfect. And I have the experiences to prove it. Join me in a journey to tell people why I should not run for public office, nor should I receive any write-in votes in the next election. If you do opt for writing my name in on your ballot and are uncertain how, ask for assistance from the helpful people at your voting location and write in my full name, James E. Collins. You may not change an election, but maybe it will change your outlook, knowing that you can vote for whom you want to, not someone you are being told to vote for. As an afterthought, please don't tell me about ending a sentence with a preposition. I tend to do that.

The seemingly accidental discovery of a 1968 Mustang in a swamp reopened a fifty-year-old case that had never been solved involving the disappearance of three high school girls. It tore the scab off some old wounds that most people thought were healed and pretty much forgotten. Sheriff Mack Becker thought that he knew just the man to figure out what happened those many years ago. He contacted recently retired FBI agent Mark Bellingham, who specialized in cold cases and had amassed an impressive record of closures. Nobody had a clue as to what was about to unfold in the small Mid-American town of Pleasant Valley. The outcome of the investigation would shock the entire town and send ripples across the country.

Suicide is a word common to any age, race, creed, or color. It is one word where its understanding includes the whole world. It normally comes with deep-seated challenges. The main debate to this word: is it a solution to our deepest traumas of life? Meaning, could this be a relief to our heartbreaks? Our trauma of health issues, is it a subject that when tabled, one can be guaranteed relief? Teenagers who are unable to face their first heartbreaks or spoiled brats throwing tantrums say, "If I can't get what I want, I'll just kill myself, and everyone will understand that I'm fed up." Is mercy killing aiding suicide for a loved one? Does suicide really give that finality to the traumas of life? Can we give and expect relief and escape from chronic poverty? What brings the thought to end it all and how can we be certain that the act gives the relief people think it brings? If it doesn't bring the desired effect one would expect from all these traumatic challenges of life, then what is suicide about and why does it project itself to a reason as a solution to desperation, to despondence? What actually is suicide about? The author delves deeply into the reason that suicide only rears its head with the challenges of life. Is it a temptation? Is it a gradual thought that makes sense when one has to face growth? This book breaks down all what suicide means to us as human beings.
