About the Book
D-Day, June 6, 1944–a day never to be forgotten. More than 156,000 troops crossed the English Channel from England to Normandy, making it the largest seaborne invasion in history. Leading the pre-invasion ashore were the brave, but little known, rocketboatmen, as they called themselves. Their job, as the first close up Naval offense, was to soften up the German beach defenses with 48 rockets, machine gunnery, and smoke screening, preparing the way for the LCVP infantrymen.

Through private diary entries and firsthand accounts, many read here for the first time, the unfolding of the earliest events leading up to the invasion is told in vivid and unforgettable detail. In choppy seas, oftentimes like sitting ducks in the water, these young men manned their landing craft approached the beaches at exactly 6:00 A.M.– half an hour before H-hour–unleashed their barrage of forty-eight rockets, twelve boats at Omaha, twelve at Utah Beach, lighting up the coastline like a Fourth of July grand finale. Several boats actually beached at Omaha and Utah under shell and bombardment and crossfire sustaining casualties, eliminating German coastline pill boxes.

Relive their compelling tales in this incredible story.

About the Book
The “Kingdom Seeker,” is an autobiographical sketch of the first Black, male, captain of a White athletic team in world and American history and at a Christian high school. The author, who is the greatest man Jesus ever knew with an unknown I.Q. of over 2000, was Killed more than one hundred times over the last thirty-five years and raped by homosexuals using the dark, sinister, forces of the satanic cosmos at the urging of White supremacist Jews and the Klu Klux Klan operating out of the United States! His life saved by Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, Mr. Adams has been sent into the world with a message of reconciliation and hope for Israel and all the world. A monument to the power of God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, this Christian classic is the first book ever written that justifies God and not man.

A must read for all clergy of all faiths, this book shows the real life power of Christianity to save your very life from your worst enemies!

He lives in southeast Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A..

About the Book
The ability to trust and bond with another being nestles in the heart of our human experience, and when that ability is ruptured by repeated trauma in childhood, the wound (if untreated) can be long-lasting and life-limiting, particularly with regard to forming stable and loving adult relationships.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), first brought to the awareness of the general public in the 1957 movie The Three Faces of Eve, is increasingly understood as a child’s “hiding-place-of-last-resort” when facing inescapable abuse. Formerly known as “multiple personality”, DID is now regarded as more common than originally thought, affecting an estimated 1.5% of the population, predominantly females.

HeartQuake is a story of love and loss, an intimate account of two young soldiers, lost in action on love’s battlefield when barely adult, who after wildly dissimilar lives find each other again in middle age to discover that lightning can, indeed, strike twice. And still burns!

For healing requires understanding, yet something else beyond… HeartQuake, finally, is an unforgettable story of the spirit’s resilience and unending quest for wholeness.
