Bride of Covid Chronicles is a daily trip through the wayward thought patterns of a 76 year old man. A word, phrase, idea, would strike me and I'd be off and running with whatever rose into my compost heap of a mind. Something like stacking bricks to lay a wall without a level. A few times the wall would end up plumb and straight, most times it would wander like a drunkard trying to find a dimly lit men's room in a low rent district bar.

A Victorious Victim is a book about how we are victimized in some degree or another. We are held by them if notfor our faith and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has made a way for freedom for us. We choose to live by them or let him change our way of thinking.

Twenty years after being convicted of killing his teammate, an ex-football star returns to his hometown to see justice done. Seeking revenge or redemption, he confronts the ghosts of his past; his teammates, their wives, the coaches, his mother, his ex-girlfriend, and his life-long enemy, the boy he supposedly murdered. Beneath the golden glory of the Golden Tornadoes' championship season lies the depthless swamp of human entanglements and a dim light of hope.

"Bleeding Heart Forever" represents a transitional state of life - a period of both endless turning and the futile resonance of turning. While not intended it be its own collection, it differs in style and theme enough to be deserving of its own vessel. Written over a relatively short period of poetic outpouring, I feel that this collection is my poetry at its most personal. Truly, it is a memoir of feeling and emotion that functions more as abstract prose than poetry. Left as it was written, I feel as though to edit and perfect would be to lose the sincerity of my thoughts at the time of writing. A torrent of both love and pain that remains endless, despite the passing of time. A running out of time itself to fulfill all that the heart requires, yet the reality that love transcends the bounds of this time.

Only after he dies does Officer Michael Zuni begin to understand his life.

This is a poetry book about the seasons. Seasons of life, seasons of love, seasons of loss, seasons of learning. Frigid frosts followed by cautious rebirths then fruitful peaks and finally reflective reconnections. Winter spring summer and fall, again and again we live it all. New, waxing, full and waning. Always cycling, always changing, always revolving, always evolving. Four seasons, four cycles, and four years that culminate in this poetry collection. A gift, 444 me and you.

An adventurous ride throughout the realms. An old man, a member of the secret society, an ancient Sun Cult, The Order of The Golden Rooster, sits in his haunted room in the retirement home that belongs to the Order. He is reading the cursed red leather book that had haunted him throughout his life.The light, the light! Oh how it has punctured me, deeply from within, oh the madness it has caused, the madness of the Gods! Alone I was left, to roam in the darkness. It is a true story of the grotesque days lived during the late 90s/early 00s following Beverly on his grandest quest for knowledge, and the wisdom to understand it as he explores the darkest, innermost corners of his ever-expanding, Eternal Mind. It was written in blood with the aid of his Guardian, who has allowed him to climb over his shoulders, and reach all the way up to the one who is watching it all from above. It was designed to be understood subconsciously. It's theme is that of pure symbolism, and magical interplay of archetypal forces. It is an occult, Luciferian fairy tale, of the death and rebirth of the man called Beverly. Story starts when Beverly begins his life enriching journey on one fateful evening where he met a certain stranger. Mysterious man was wearing red shoes, asking Beverly if he would like to join him on a journey of a lifetime, in the realm outside of known time and space. Without nothing to lose but himself, Beverly accepted stranger's offer and followed him towards an old, numberless, marble building that was built over the Dragon lines, and was hiding inside another, completely different, obsidian building at the number 666. Inside he meets the beings of blue flame with blue flaming eyes, wearing long black hooded cloaks, known throughout the Earth Realm as Demons, Jinn, Familiars. The novella is riddled with the strongest occult symbology. It's full of themes of magic, mystery, brotherhoods, initiations, incantations, evocations, blood, drugs, injections, madness, insanity, shapeshifting, possession, succubus, numerology, and ancient rituals.

There is a law of nature that indicates the universe is on a course of desolation through the use of energy. It is dubbed the second law of thermodynamics. On Earth, humans have been pressing harder and harder on the fuel accelerator speeding the approach of this bleakness.There seems not much that can be done about this except taking our foot off that peddle to slow the process down and extend our time on this beautiful Earth. It would also help to reduce the size of the human population and return to living as evolution intended: following the rise and setting of the Sun each day.

40 Freeze Dried Meal Pouch Recipes is a collection of my favorite recipes designed for the single meal pouch. In this book you will find the recipe ingredients, the procedure to make the recipe, the yield of the recipe and how to reconstitute the meal pouch. The book does not contain settings or times for the Freeze Dryer. There are too many software versions, system configurations. Beleive it or not your local weather has a great impact on dry times. Instead, each recipe has a QR code that you can scan and be taken directly to the corosponding video on YouTube. I have tried to keep the recipessimple and rehydration quick.

"If you must go down those mean streets, walk softly, but walk a big dog... "Perenially broke Doan is a short, chubby little man with corn-yellow hair who doesn't exactly look like he's going to set the world on fire. His clothes are frequently rumpled, because he tends to sleep in them, and he's been known to drink a prodigious amount of alcohol. [And] while there have plenty of dogs in mystery fiction, there's never been one quite like Carstairs. He's not just any Great Dane; he's so big that Doan only half-jokingly figures he really ought to be considered another species. He's definitely in charge, despite Doan's best efforts. ... It's fortunate, then, that as a sleuth Carstair rarely barks up the wrong tree." - Kevin Burton Smith, The Thrilling Detective Website This volume collects the first two Doan and Carstairs books: the novella Holocaust House, and the novel The Mouse in the Mountain.

Huge amount of information is available about Hindi films on the internet. Unfortunately, not all of it is reliable. Mistakes range from honest clerical errors to outright made-up interviews with famous people. In this book the author describes his real interactions with Hindi film actors who were active in the 40s to 70s. Most had been away from the industry for a long time and were living anonymously. The author made great effort to seek them out and interviewed them. He has obtained much rare and authentic information, clarifying many misconceptions and finding elaborations of other well-known facts about them. We hope that the readers will enjoy reading about them as much as the author has writing about the interviews.

A short general treatise about law from the perspective of Catholic theology.

The history of early 20th Century Dance Bands has generally focused on the personalities of the Band Leaders, famous soloists, or the recordings they made, but the arrangers have been neglected. This book will attempt to show what made popular dance music in the 20th Century so different from dance music in the 19th Century and also show how these pioneer arrangers melded the many disparate elements together into a coherent art form.Dance styles come and go but their significance I think doesn't lie in the dances themselves but with what composers achieved through working with those styles. Few want to actually dance the Courante or Minuet today but who would want to lose these works by Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven? Similarly, the achievements of arrangers such as Arthur Lange, George Evans, and Lew Stone need to be evaluated and studied, to better understand how we have arrived at the situation we are in today, especially because modern score writing programmes and digital audio have completely changed how we can approach composition and arranging.Critics have often disparaged dance band arrangements as commercial and lacking in artistic merit, but in fact, these early arrangers were innovative and creative.

Instead she was drawn into a bizarre adventure involving the two people closest and dearest to her as the past she had hidden, for the greater good, seemed to hit all concerned soundly in the face.

Many technical professionals would like to write a book sharing their knowledge and experience, but most haven't. If you ask them why, it's not from lack of ideas or experience with technical subject matter. Instead, they just don't know how turn their idea into an actual published book. Even though there are some guides for publishing nonfiction books, tech books are unique in the publishing world, and there haven't been any guides that tackle the special process that goes into publishing a tech book.
