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.

The Xa’igoi Saga: Novel Two
The Last of the Lionhearted
Jonathan D. Wilson
About the Book
“In the nightly sky burns a star afire, and the two moons overhead eerily remain veiled in darkness, while the third moon reigns from the heavens–dipped in the color of blood. Such an ominous sky heralds the coming birth of the last Xa’igoi.The world is changing forever, and from the ancient citadel of Amturis, chaos comes. Uundethar the Sorcerer seeks forbidden answers from his past. But that is not all that he seeks. What he learns and plots unleashes events that will bring doom for countless thousands, threatening realms, and perhaps bringing an end to all things.
In the far west, King Midga, once a mighty ruler now under tyrannical vassalage, finds himself outnumbered and forced into attempting to withstand Uundethar and his horde of unholy abominations, who have descended out of nothingness upon his realm’s unprepared lands.
Finding himself unaided by his oppressive, overlord king, Midga must then choose between the survival of his small kingdom and the life of his newly born child.
Stout champions stand beside Midga ready to die, if it means the survival of the prophesied infant. But at what cost? Among such so-called defenders is a man who holds secrets to his own identity. Is he one who might possess the power to save the realm and the king’s child, or will he bring doom to them all? Is this man loyal or disloyal to the cause, or will treachery and betrayal, altogether different, strike elsewhere from the shadows?
If the peoples of Kirgin and the infant’s courageous champions are to ensure the fulfilment of the Prophecy and the survival of Lacreena, the Kingdom of Kirgin must withstand Uundethar’s might and protect Midga’s only child at all cost. If they fail and the child is killed, the Omen Curse will finally arise to its fulfillment, and Uundethar will rule over Lacreena unopposed, and the world shall burn and fall into oblivion.
It is a tale of masquerades and treachery, plots and deceits, of identities hidden and of others revealed, where the loyalties of some are sworn to secrecy, while others are questioned. It is a fight for survival, of mighty heroes of old, and the last of the lionhearted.”

Then and Now
A Series Of Biographical Essays Portraying Changes In Culture Over Nearly A Century
Jo Ellen Oliver
About the Book
Sexual mores have changed drastically in my 84 years of life, as well as attitudes about family life, race and religion. I hope to explore changes in attitudes over my life span. This is not a research paper. I taught freshman English in two universities, where the students were required to document carefully. I don’t want to do that anymore. I may get a date or a name wrong. Some names I changed on purpose, to avoid embarrassing the children or grandchildren of people who behaved badly. Instead of factual research, I want to explore emotions and attitudes as they changed over the years. Why are emotions so important? We have just held a very divisive election. We are divided by politics and social mores. Yes, it is better if our emotions are grounded in actual facts; our recent election proved how dangerous feelings are when fed by lies, so I have tried to be as factual as my memory allows, but in the end, our behavior is shaped by how we feel.

The Xa’igoi Saga, Novel One
The Omen Curse's Twin
Jonathan D. Wilson
About the Book
“In a world where the words of the Gifted possess the power to bring either life or doom, it was once foretold that the Omen Curse would bring the lands of Lacreena into ruin. In a land of realms, governed by scheming, feudal lordlings and devious liege lords, where dark intrigues and forbidden aspirations are everywhere, the Dark Lord Ashnaharn–Lacreena’s most primordial enemy–remains sleepless, ever-hungry, and twisting events to his own purposes. Yet, other ethereal forces that are far more ancient, stir the world into future motion, where the will of the Three Lords remain absolute.Betrayed, orphaned, and wanted dead by his own kin, Crown Prince Valsamier awakens to genocide and a man aiming to kill him. By reasons yet unknown to him, Valsamier manages to escape into the wilds, only to meet with his destiny, long foretold, and to the fear of all.
It’s been decades since Princess Ethissia prophesied the Omen Curse, but her foretelling still haunts everyone across Lacreena. Especially Valsamier, Ethissia’s once beloved husband, who betrayed her to death, years before. It is he who Ethissia’s doomful prediction spoke of, yet others in fear have purposefully kept him sheltered. In those decades since the utterance of the Omen Curse, Valsamier continues to feel himself changing, due to Ethissia’s prediction. But changing into who and what exactly?
Such things as Valsamier escaping into the wilds and him happening upon an unforeseen meeting with Ashnaharn unleashes events that change the world forever–events that are not only Valsamier’s destiny, but a destiny for the world. In his wake, a new foretelling shall soon shake the very foundations of the world–the Prophecy of the Xa’igoi–the Omen Curse’s Twin. It is a prediction that, to some, will be far more dangerous and doomful than even the Omen Curse.
Valsamier’s destiny, and the destinies of countless others, quickly become forever entangled within the web of two warring prophecies and the epic conflict that arises in-between the ageless forces that created such foretellings, which tell of the destruction of the world that is, in order to birth a new one that is to come…

PEE WEE: Serial Killer or Homicidal Maniac
A Novelized True Crime Story, Volume II
O. Grady Query
About the Book
Volume II of PEE WEE, Serial Killer or Homicidal Maniac, focuses on the courtroom drama of his several trials and appeals. Readers that enjoy trial strategy, courtroom personalities and the cloakroom maneuvering of the criminal courts will find a plethora of intriguing twists and turns. Seemingly foregone outcomes are reversed by national events or by the local politics of the farmlands of South Carolina that stubbornly resist change. It is replete with excerpts from actual trial transcriptions and transcripts of out of court statements given under oath. Despite his numerous murder convictions Gaskins manages time and again to avoid the death penalty in real life by virtue of unexpected events that could seemingly occur only in fiction. Told by an attorney intimately involved in the cases, there are pithy descriptions of battles fought in and out of the courtroom on the one hand and on the other of the camaraderie between adversaries. Both often lead to unpredictable outcomes. Pee Wee Gaskins describes the murders to which he will plead guilty in his own words. At the same time by either omission or outright lies, he avoids the inclusion of those murders for which he does not want to admit responsibility. Finally, in one of the most incredible crimes imaginable, the tiny killer foils the safeguard systems of a maximum security penitentiary to murder a fellow death row inmate with plastic explosives.About the Author
GRADY QUERY is a practicing attorney in Charleston, South Carolina. He has written the story of Pee Wee Gaskins, based on his years of representation of the diminutive mass murderer. Court appointed to represent Gaskins Query spent hundreds of hours in court, visiting crime scenes, interviewing witnesses and simply listening to his client. This book while fictional is based largely upon those experiences and the direct information gleaned from his time with Gaskins. -

Under the Stone
Hongvan Nguyen
About the Book
It plays with external forms of Poetry since poems are usually divided into stanzas with certain groups of lines. It also concentrates on rhymes, different types of rhyme schemes. Other techniques such as figures of speech like metaphor and simile are also used in the poems of this book.
