Witness to my Last Judgement
A Modern Version of the Traditional Near-Death Experiences
Marie-Emily Sendrea
About the Book
Dee-Anna is an upper-class woman and a resident of a well-preserved suburb in Michigan, where only the elite build their treasured nests. This classy lady found herself in the throes of a terrifying adventure that pushed her to the brink of her sanity. “With every day that passed, it became a burden hard to endure,” Dee-Anna confesses, “and I complained of pains all over my body. ‘Anxiety,’ my doctor explained. ‘Overstressed,’ was a specialist’s opinion. I was the only one who knew the truth. I needed to unburden my mind and heart; I needed to shift this torment onto a listener…” And then she added: “You might be the only one to believe me without ruining my name. I don’t care of you spread the word. On the contrary, I really want you to share my experience with others.”Witness to my Last Judgement meets the criteria to be considered a mind-changer. When the reader finishes the final pages of this book and finds out Dee-Anna’s hidden secret, to follow will be some immediate soul-searching. The reader will then be able to unveil each of the hidden secrets tucked deeply in the back of his or her brain.
I would like my readers to fully enjoy reading this story as much as the admirers of my artwork enjoy the dreamlike stories illustrated on my canvas. As a professional artist, I have dedicated a good part of my life to personal artwork as well as to educational art projects, which can be viewed at http://www.marie-emilysendrea.com
About the Author
“As a Christian storyteller, I use my God-given talents in the areas of writing and painting, while narrating the drama of earthly life on canvas and on paper. Thus, my first book, entitled The Price: Stop My Time I Want To Get Off was published in 1997 by Benchmark Publishing & Design. In 2010, the Bible League, Bucharest, Romania published the first, and in 2012 the second edition of my book, entitled Understanding the Bible. The third book, Confused Souls is still waiting to be published soon.As a subjective-surrealist artist, I fill my canvases with unique observations collected from my own daily life. Hence, I had the honor of having my artwork displayed in solo and group exhibitions. In his letter addressed to me, George Bush, former President of the United States, acknowledged his reception of one of my paintings, entitled The One Is Yet To Come.
As an art teacher, I try to help my students depict scenes that represent the realities of life. The art competitions that I have won – mostly linked to the government – sponsored art project, called artist-in-residence programs – helped me to teach gifted students truths that are considered very complicated by many, but that can become simple rules of life if represented through art.

What’s Up
Vocabulary for Those New to America
Jimmy Gyasi Boateng
About the Book
The idea behind this book is to make the reader aware of slang expressions used by typical Americans. Although some people might have attended institutions of higher education in their native countries, when they come to America, often they are baffled or confused by American slang, whether consciously or unconsciously. Most of my friends who went to college before coming to America also have problems because they don’t let go of their understanding of the local American lingo.
Even though I came from a country—Ghana—whose official language is English, (we were colonized by the British), I had a very hard time understanding the Americans’ use of the informal English language. Statements like, “Are you nuts?” meant a whole different thing to me until after I had been here for a while and then I began to decipher what the subtle meanings of these slang expressions are when it comes to the American dialect.
I began to compile these American expressions and put them together in book form so that people who are new to this country might appreciate and understand what they mean. It is my hope that this small book will help both Americans and new immigrants alike, basically by learning these expressions, using them when appropriate, and knowing when not to use expressions that may “rub people in America the wrong way.About the Author
Jimmy Gyasi Boateng was born and raised in Bonwire, the historical Kente cloth town of Ghana. I attended Phillips Commercial College in Kumasi, Ghana and after graduation came to Accra, the capital of Ghana, to find a job. I was fortunate enough to be hired by the Parliament House, National Assembly, as a clerical officer, where I worked with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of Ghana.
When the Nkrumah administration was overthrown, I continued to work with the second government of Ghana, led by Dr. Kofi Busia and his administration. I remained in this employment with Parliament for ten years before taking a new position with the State Insurance Corporation of Ghana as a librarian.
I came to the United States in 1978 and worked in several factories and institutions, among them Microfibres Corporation. I was chosen as the Associate of the Year in 1996. I have been a loyal employee of the company for twenty-five years.
In addition to working with Microfibres, I have worked for the Massachusetts judiciary for eight years as an interpreter through Inlingua of Boston, and I continue to work with Team Ops of the New England Patriots Football Team at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
I continued my education with a senior high school equivalency diploma from Cranston West, Cranston, Rhode Island, and continued at Rhode Island Trade Shops School, where I graduated in 1982. I furthered my education at Genesis Center with a diploma in Culinary Arts in 2002. Additionally, I hold a certificate from the New England Gerontology Academy. -

If it happens to your child, it happens to you!
A Parent's Help-source on Sexual Assault
Christine A. Golder
About the Book
Finally, there is a handbook for parents who have had to face the horrendous ordeal of their child’s sexual assault. Most of the current literature focuses on prevention. This book is specifically to help parents in the aftermath of the assault as it is typical for parents to feel as victimized and powerless as their child. The crisis precipitates a disequilibrium that reverberates throughout the family and can have long-reaching effects unless the members seek help. The initial phase of discovery is the most crucial and how parents react toward their child at first hearing of the assault plays an important role in how the child is able to handle the crisis from that time forward.
After an introductory chapter which examines the scope of the problem, the second chapter discusses disclosure issues. It also explains what assault can entail; reactions and behavioral signals in child and adolescent victims. This chapter also discusses the perpetrator because parents often ask, “”What kind of person could do such a thing?”” The third chapter deals with issues around reporting and what to expect from the legal system. The fourth chapter focuses primarily on parental concerns, feelings and their important role in the recovery process. The fifth chapter suggests some ideas for moving beyond the personal crisis for those parents that want to do more.
About the Author
Although now retired, Ms. Golder’s career in the field of social work has spanned over four and a half decades of service. She first obtained her A.A.S. Degree in Community Service, then a B.S. Degree in Human Services, followed by a Master’s Degree in Social Work. She spent 25 years in the Family and Children Services Division of the Suffolk County Department of Social Services on Long Island, New York.

A Snake At My Shoulder
Joan Kenny
About the Book
Audrey, a young professional woman returns to rural Canada from England after the unexpected death of her brother James. Audrey re-visits the town full of ghosts from her fraught past… her distant father, two unsatisfactory stepmothers, her dark and dangerous cousin Struan and her childhood mate, Frank.
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 presents this blended fabric to Frank in a fitful and imagined conversation.
She tells him of the successful documentary film company that James and she created in London, and their home away from home in exotic and bustling Cairo. Audrey also confronts her troubled home life, where after the mysterious death of their mother, James and Audrey endure an emotionally void home.
She also remembers her happier moments of lazy summers by the river, or snuggling in the hayloft with Frank, who becomes an invisible vessel for her ravings, to find peace in her tumultuous life.
Yet, Audrey must remember her unspeakably horrific relationship with Struan.About the Author
Joan Kenny’s life has been as adventurous and unpredictable as a colourful Gypsy shawl caught in the wind. She was born in N. Ireland, lived in Canada, and spent eighteen years in England and Holland. Her travels have offered rich experiences to draw upon and provided vivid details for her haunting books.
