Betsy and Catherine: An Uncommon Friendship
A Revised and Revisited Edition
Helen Gailey
About the Book
Set in eighteenth-century London, England. This fictional novel touches on the life of the upper crust and those who served them. As they both come together, foolish choices and harrowing consequences take two women—one an aristocrat and the other her servant—into a storm of trial, scorn, and tribulation. Stripped of title, recognition, and value, one wonders who the heroine really is, Catherine or Betsy? Catherine repeatedly asks, “How will Lord Edward find us?” A twisted and perverse judge condemns these two women to the Australian colonies. What is his motivation? Why would he want to hurt two women he’d never seen before? When everything about her life and station no longer has meaning, tears flow for Catherine. What has she done? Her foolishness has bought shame both on herself and her dearest friend, Betsy. How can she go on if they are parted? As Betsy looks back in time, her memories share love, concern, and deep anxiety. As she looks forward, she questions, “Am I worthy of kindness above my station?”

During a terrible storm, Audrey crashes through the old town bridge. Audrey is pulled from the wreck and is transported to the local hospital where she weaves the threads of her tortured childhood with the trials and triumphs of her new life.

Audrey also confronts her troubled home life, where after the mysterious death of their mother, James and Audrey endure an emotionally void home.

Yet, Audrey must remember her unspeakably horrific relationship with Struan.About the Author

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.

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

Situations Vol. 1
Love's Never Ending Beginnings
J. Gralyn Stokes
About the Book
Vol 1. is a collection of poems written between 1996 and 2010. I always had dreams of being a published author and one day having my words available to the world. Saying; “I’ll get to it tomorrow” or waiting for the perfect time wasn’t going to help me get to where I wanted to be. I had seen too many examples of how tomorrow wasn’t guaranteed. One day I woke up and put away the excuses, dedicated the summer to getting my book published. Life happens. Allowing fear to alter your focus and desire for something greater is a tragedy in itself. May this book inspire you to take the first step. Put away the excuses and stop procrastinating toward your destiny.

The Modern-Day Cyrus
2nd Edition
Rev. Robert Antwi
About the Author
During the Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land, God told the Israelites that the city in which He would place His name should be their center of worship or the economic capital. “But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek and thither thou shall come.”(Deuteronomy 12:5) Around 1000 BC the God of Abraham selected Jerusalem to place His name there and David to rule His people. David became king of ancient Israel when God selected Jerusalem to place His name and made Jerusalem the center of worship {spiritual and economic capital}. “But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”(2 Chronicles 6:6) Therefore, God chose Jerusalem to put His name there and David to rule over His people (Israel).The Jew know their history and Jerusalem was proclaimed the capital. On May 14, 1948, Ben-Gurion proclaimed the formation of Israel. Jerusalem is the capital and the largest city in Israel. Tel Aviv is Israel’s economic and technology center. Jerusalem is the capital, but it has limited recognition. International bodies and many countries around the world do not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I believe it is time for the world to recognize Jerusalem as the capital. I believe Donald Trump won the election to declare and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In 538 BC, Crazy he save the Babylonians. I have declared President Donald Trump the modern-day Cyrus. Just as King Cyrus set the Babylonian captivity, Donald Trump is setting Jerusalem free from the slave of unrecognition.

My Cheri Amour
A True Heartbreaking Love Story!
R. W. Pursur
About the Book
This is a heartbreaking love story, but it’s still a true love story. In January of 2013, I discovered papers, journals, diaries, pictures, cards and letters I had never seen before, in several boxes, at the top of my wife’s closet and it brought forth a spring of emotions.
However, it did remind me of what true love really is. We all wish we could “”quantum leap”” back in time and make changes that might have had a better outcome that didn’t lead to so many regrets, but love has many faces. Not a day goes by that I haven’t shed a tear for Cheri as I have observed her daily decline. Every morning I wake up to face the reality of her unavoidable demise. The love I have for her has been immeasurable and losing her was unbearable. Love is a roller coaster speeding through happy days and tragic ones as well. This story was a spontaneous writing I had no intentions of pursuing, yet I was inspired to share, due to the emotional state I was pulled into after finding “”The Boxes””. And part of what I found was that the only way to understand a love story is to share it.About the Author
