The Story Of A Man
Marvin A. Hayes
About the Book
The Story Of A Man is a collection of poems that express emotions of love, pain, laughter, wisdom and self-reflection. Poetry has always been a passion of mine and it later became the avenue to express the memory of the comings and goings of my existence. This is the reason why I chose the title, “”The Story Of A Man.”” Many of the poems were written during my years in undergrad. My college years came and went; however years later I contemplated publishing them. It was then I decided to begin the journey to publish the story of my life.When thinking about the book cover and what I wanted to express to the reader, I chose to use my drawing of Muhammad Ali. Ali is one of my favourite hero’s and a poet himself. In fact the first poem in the book is about Muhammad Ali, a man with an amazing story of struggle and triumph. I selected his picture in hope of attracting the attention of readers who understand each person has an individual story. Just like Ali we all too may experience struggles, pain, and triumph. This book also includes photos that show that my life has been very full.
The photos in the book include pictures of my wife of 50yrs. Mrs. Geraldine Elaine Robinson Hayes, and our legacy which includes my two older children and our five children which makes for 30 grandchildren. I hope that each reader enjoys the poems and pictures and it encourages them to embrace the story of their own life.

and Other Quirky Tales
Daniel Wolf
About the Book
“But Is He Jewish? is divided into three sections. The first section, “Quirky Tales,” consists of fifty short stories. Although each touches upon some aspect of Jewish life and culture, they deal with such universal themes as love, mortality, courage, coming of age, and the importance of family.The following section, “Mishegas” (Yiddish for craziness), includes stand-up comedy routines, the philosophical musings of a fictitious rabbi, advice for daily living (“A Guide for the Confused”), “Eighty Questions to Ponder,” and nonsensical poetry (“Quit”).ho
The final section, “Animals with Attitudes”, features four humorous mini-plays with animals (elephants, lions, housecats, and rhinoceroses) taking on Jewish characteristics and even speaking some Yiddish (translations provided).
In all, But Is He Jewish? provides a delightful reading experience, as it addresses a variety of topics in a mostly humorous but always human manner.”

C is for Colored
Larry J. Ford, M.D.
About the Author
Dr. Larry James Ford was born September 1, 1951, in Albany, Georgia. In 1956 at the age of four, his family moved to Aberdeen, Maryland, and later to have a Havre de Grace, Maryland, where he grew up and attended the Havre de Grace Consolidated School, C1, a legally, racially segregated school, from 1957 to 1964. He attended Havre de Grace High School, an integrated school, from 1964 to 1969, graduating as vice president of his class, a lettering member of the football team, and an officer in the National Honor Society.
He has four siblings, an older sister, Patricia, and three younger, Wayne, Pamela, and Pelbea. Continuing his education, he attended Syracuse University for one year, and then transferred to the Johns Hopkins University, where he graduated in 1973. He then attended the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York City, graduating in 1977. Afterwords, he did an internal medicine residency at the University of California- San Francisco. He began his practice in Georgia in the US Public Health Service and has also practiced in Alaska and California before retiring in 2011.
Dr. Ford’s retirement from medicine came after being diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis, a rare clonal disorder, which affects a white blood cell important to the immune system, affecting multiple organ systems. There is no specific treatment, and the disease has an incidence of 1 in 10,000 people, or a total of 30,000 individuals diagnosed in the U.S. with it.
One of the most memorable experiences he has had, related to the book, was sitting down with one of his teachers from the Consolidated School, Mrs. Mabel Hart, before starting to write. At the time of the release of the book, she was 104, and had recently published a book of her own. Throughout his professional life and journey, he was able to repeatedly call upon the commonsense knowledge and wisdom imparted by his teachers, which was needed to handle the many challenging situations he would face.
In 2020, he returned to his hometown, where he completed “C is for Colored,” and continues to enjoy his passion for playing music, spending lots of time with his guitars (playing anything slow), reading and honing his photographic skills. He has twin daughters, Lauren and Leslie, and he tries to hang out with his grandchildren, Isabel, Eli, and Karina, whenever possible. They call him “Lolo,” and all remember and laugh about him, as being moderately obsessed with anything having to do with mathematics, and the related game of craps. -

The Great Centennial
Les MacLean
About the Book
The Great Centennial is about a time of discovery and rediscovery. It is about a time of leaving behind a civilized life; the stress and pettiness of urban crowds, neighbor cheating neighbor, and all its lies and hypocrisy to a life back in time-a time of great beauty, simplicity, sweet harmony, and unity, with man and beast alike.On August 25, 2016, we celebrated one hundred years of the administration and stewardship of our great national parks, established in the immortal words of our twenty-sixth US president Theodore Roosevelt, “for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.”The Great Centennial continues our celebration for the next one hundred years, and beyond, and for generations yet unborn. This photo-documentary book takes us on a journalistic and literary tour through time and space: through natural and human history, poetry, song, discovery, and rediscovery featuring such national parks as Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Shenandoah, and Theodore Roosevelt. Also featured is a Montana state park, and national historic landmark, where the Missouri River begins at the convergence of the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers, in a wilderness all her own. Also featured are conservation heroes like George Bird Grinnell, John Muir, Stuart Udall, and author Terry Tempest Williams. Majestic grizzlies, great buffalo herds, prairie dog cities, and jousting bighorn rams are among the wildlife standouts. From mountain skylines to vast rolling prairies to dense primeval forests to a canyon so grand as to be a world all her own, our national parks,and overall wilderness heritage, are God’s blessing and America’s cornerstone. In The Great Centennial is great healing and tranquility for one and all.

The Secret to Perfect Living
Kofi Dwira
About the Book
The principles of death manifested in the character of Jesus are the principles to living a perfect life. They are to be exemplified in the lives of the children of God that they may reflect perfectly the character of Jesus and of God. So the Apostle Paul says: “For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in Glory.” (Colossians 3:3-4)About the Author
Kofi Dwira is of the impression that if Jesus came to Earth to live as a man in the midst of sin, and He lived perfectly, then there must be a sure way to live a perfect life. Through much prayer and study, it has been revealed to Dwira that secret, which he shares with readers in, The Secret to Perfect Living. A native of Ghana, Dwira took accounting as a career, but what he has studied best is the bible. -
Family Ties
Thicker Than Blood
B.G. Howard
About the Book
Willie LeBeaux finds his way to the mean streets of the city that never sleeps. While in the process of running from his past, he encounters what could be a more troubling future…if he can survive the present.“”It seemed like so long ago and so far away from home down in South Georgia. I had only been in New York a few years, but it felt like an eternity since coming to the Big Apple, chasing dreams of stardom and life on easy street. Ironically, it’s not until you arrive in the city that never sleeps when you realize your chances at stardom rank right up there with the odds you’ll hit the lottery. There’s no street named ‘Easy’ anywhere in this country; at least, not for a poor man with a tenth-grade education who can only boast a doctorate from ‘Thug University.’ I remembered the last words my father spoke to me as I left for the bus station. ‘Yaain’t worth a damn now, and ya ain’t nev’r gone be worth a damn ‘til da day dem folk throws dirt in ya face.'””

Women in Wars of the Future
William Gabriel
About the Book
Four centuries from now mankind will have expanded into the Solar System with the most adventurous and capable of society. Our world of twelve billion people will have their best and brightest reach for the planets. By this time nearly two million people will live and develop the colonies of outer space. An Earth bound power has built their first warship to ply the planets and establish hegemony where ever they travel. Earth bound politics rears its ugly head in interplanetary conflicts between this rising power and the more established national powers in space.
Into this maelstrom three heroines must face off against this new menace launched from Earth. The planetary system is self sufficient, yet very fragile when confronted by military might. As civilians caught in the crossfire of political infighting, they must use all their wits and abilities to survive the presence of that warship’s maiden voyage. These women prove their metal in the high stakes game of military confrontation and intrigue. Theirs is a world of mercantile uplift while they must now face the forceful onslaught of this new space power.
Most technologies portrayed within this work are already developed or on the drawing board and will be part of mankind’s future in space. Only a couple are not yet within our grasp, yet would be stepping stones to interstellar travel at faster than light. The three heroines each are well versed in survival in space and have carved out their own entrepreneurial niche to gain wealth and return to Earth with millions in today’s currency. The planets hold near infinite wealth to be exploited in the 25th century. This is the new world in which they live.About the Author

Lincoln
Orville Evjen
About the Book
This graphic novel is based early life of Abraham Lincoln from his childhood to winning the Presidency of the United States.
From an early age, Lincoln loved reading and he loved reading about history. His favorite President was George Washington, our first President. Lincoln’s rocky childhood and his relationship with his father are some points I emphasized in this book. Along with his religious views, Abe Lincoln had very strong views on his dislike for slavery. He spent his adult life as a lawyer fighting for the rights of others.
This book also focuses on the hidden world that we never see, the spiritual world. Throughout his life Abe had a war going on around him. Through his struggle with love and family, his battle with melancholy was his most difficult. Using the realm of the supernatural is one way this book deals with his struggles. In the end, these struggles made Abe stronger for the hard years to come during the civil war.
Losing his mother, sister, and then his best friend Ann Rutledge was the beginning of his dark days. But his strong will to live and his love of life pulled him through. Everywhere Abe went he was well-liked and he loved to tell funny tales.
The book ends with Abe becoming the 16th President of the United States. This sets the stage for book 2 of Lincoln.

To My Best Girl
Courage, Honor, and Love in the Civil War: The Inspiring Life Stories of Rufus Dawes and Mary Gates
Steve Magnusen
About the Book
Behind all descriptions of historical events are the stories of real people. This is the extraordinary true story of a citizen soldier and the girl he loves, as both become embroiled in the cauldron of our nation’s Civil War.
Rufus R Dawes will emerge from a troubled family background to become an officer in a famous unit thrust into horrific battles in the eastern theater. But before those stirring war scenes, there is the early life of a proud and intelligent descendant of leading Revolutionary War figures, ancestors who helped form the United States, the Northwest Territory, and the state of Ohio.
Rufus will meet beautiful and vibrant Mary Beman Gates and fall in love. But there is separation due to distance and social standing, apparently little reciprocal feeling, and competition by others better situated than he. Can it ever become more than infatuation? The outbreak of war intervenes. Faced with the doubt of his own survival, is it possible to fulfill any dream of a life with Mary?
Mary is a girl with a loving family who becomes a young woman while witnessing many acquaintances and suitors, along with an only brother, march off to war. Tragic battle losses soon mount. Will she—should she—become involved with a soldier whose life is in daily jeopardy far away?
The drama unfolds upon Rufus and Mary, and upon family members and soldiers who experience their own battles, trying to survive while patriotically performing their duty to the nation. Based on many letters and diary entries, most never published, this is a timeless story of love and courage.About the Author
Steve Magnusen enjoyed a nationally recognized engineering career in north suburban Chicago after receiving his degree from Purdue University. He has led several professional and non-profit organizations, and served fifteen years as an infantry and armor officer in the US Army Reserve.
Steve’s particular interest in the Civil War’s elite “Iron Brigade” led him to diligently research the life of Rufus R. Dawes, the intrepid young commander of the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Extensive original documentation not only revealed extraordinary battlefield heroism, but also an incredible wartime romance involving delightful Mary Beman Gates of historic Marietta, Ohio. Steve was inspired to bring their captivating personal saga to life in To My Best Girl.
