Praise for Dark Strides... "This novel gives you top flight dialogue and details. I think the prose is impeccable-also the characterizations. In fact, I've never read stronger prose. Dark Strides is intriguing. It is touching. This novel could have been arcane, but no, it includes you. How can you not feel ALIVE as Clifford's snare drum awakens the Millennial musicians? I will read this novel again. I was engaged all the way through it-in no small measure because Dark Strides contains plenty of humor, mostly in the dialogue, which, again, is top flight." - Michael O'Rourke, Author of Paul Bunyan Lives! and Other Tales From The Natural World.

My Living LEGACYTHE WORLD IS A VAST CLASSROOM and much of what we learn is through our experiences. As every parent and grandparent knows, we strive to pass along what we've learned to the next generation, in the hopes they will have a successful life.But how do we define success? Success in life isn't simply about having more money, higher status, a bigger house, or more stuff. Real success is about finding and maintaining balance between all of the areas of our life, facing problems and preparing for the future.This book explains the simple truth about living a better life. Broken into 11 key areas, it features 173 specific lessons, each in 10 words or less. From the high school or college graduate, to the 20- or 30-somethings, or even the sandwich generation, this book will serve as a practical touchstone in every season of life.

It is said that one measure of true literary talent is the ability to interpret and communicate complex ideas in simple terms. Indeed, in his third book in as many years, entitled Jump-Starting Real Job Creation in America, author Gary R. Patterson has met that bar in his own insightful, thought-provoking and analytical signature style. In layman terms, Patterson demystifies the seemingly daunting interrelated economic challenges of our time confronting this country of 1) Job Creation; 2) Tax Reform; 3) Entitlements and 4) eliminating Annual Trillion Dollar-Plus Federal Deficits and balancing the Annual Federal Budget within as little as five years. However, rather than merely defining problems, Patterson further offers common sense, achievable solutions that are financially, actuarially and demographically justified. Moreover, Patterson specifically itemizes and quantifies the requisite dollars-and-cents sacrifice that must be borne equitably by all; which, especially with regard to the issue of Entitlements, no one - neither The President nor Congress - has yet dared to grapple with to this very day. Indeed, Patterson manages to reduce and present his Annual Balanced Budget Computations to just a single page! The "Good News" is, if adopted, Patterson's Entitlement recommendations, in particular, would preserve full benefits for both Social Security and Medicare going forward A) in their present form (i.e. no cuts) and B) at the current minimum qualification. After three years of failed Obama Administration economic policy based on Keynesian Consumer-driven Demand, emphasis must finally shift to monetarily incentivizing Employers, through tax policy, to again begin hiring. The optimal Private Sector Jobs Creation Solution - to a nation reeling from a net loss of 8 million jobs since 2008 - can be achieved, through targeted tax policy, which will financially incentivize Private Enterprise to hire; yet, without adding a single Dollar to the Deficit or National Debt. Specifically, a Private Sector Job Creation initiative could be implemented that would significantly lessen the financial risk to Employers of hiring new workers - contingent upon the offer of a lucrative Sustained Jobs Creation Tax Credit per employee hired. What's more, what if the financial incentive to hire employees became so lucrative and enticing, that existing businesses would be compelled to do so, if for no other reason than out of concern that, if they don't, their competition will? In particular, the Sustained Jobs Creation Tax Credit, as recommended herein, is projected to cost approximately $63 Billion over two years but will, in effect, be paid in the form of a tax credit generated from new employee payroll taxes paid by Employers in prior years - thus, not requiring any upfront Federal Funding. Further, by comparison, although substantial, the $63 Billion projected cost is less than 10% of the cost of the entire Obama Stimulus Bill. Moreover, at a projected cost per job of $14,000, the Sustained Jobs Creation Tax Credit as recommended herein, is tens of thousands of dollars less when compared to 1) the Obama Stimulus Plan ($238,000 per job); 2) Cash for Clunkers ($86,000 per job) or 3) Cash for Caulkers ($80,000 per job). Finally, in conjunction with comprehensive Corporate and Individual Tax Reform, this book details exactly how to incentivize and compel Existing, Established Businesses and U.S.-based Multi-National Corporations, in particular, to move their collective $2+ Trillion of capital currently "sitting on the sidelines," both domestically and overseas, back into the United States to invest in Jobs Creation in this country. Once achieved, a recovery of a projected eight million sustained, long-lasting jobs in America will, indeed, mightily contribute to a balanced Annual Federal Budget (as

Touched By A Child, A Principal's Story, is a collection of stories and experiences about the author's 40 years as principal of two modest income, "Title 1" elementary schools in suburban Washington, DC. The book begins with why the author became a teacher followed by his first experience as principal at age 27 in a burned out, antiquated school building next to a prison and an Interstate highway. The heart of the book is based on his last thirty years as principal of a second school to which he was introduced as a "really difficult school." Through experience, the author grew to truly understand the value of education especially in communities with limited resources and to the future of our Nation. As the stories of children are told, the reader gains an understanding of what challenges schools "really" face in their quest for excellence and what challenges students face in their daily lives and the lives of their families. Teachers are praised throughout as those individuals who work every day with a passion and fervor to love, care for and educate even the most difficult children who, thanks to teachers, succeed in spite of circumstance. The book is funny, sad and inspirational as the reader learns about "The School with a Barnyard", "Po-Verty", "A Little United Nations" and "Alternative Education" (classes for those whose behavior is such that they could not function in a regular school situation). The book also relates the many duties of school administrators and teachers that do not fall under what we normally regard as education.

Your Well Will Never Run Dry God Will Provide For You Are you struggling right now? There's a good chance you are. Because of the times in which we live, you may be struggling in one way or another - physically, emotionally, relationally, or financially.Perhaps even as a Christian you feel like you're sinking fast, and either God isn't listening or doesn't care. Well, if that's the case you absolutely must read "Your Well Will Never Run Dry." This book will reassure you that God knows exactly where you are right now, and He cares.As the author, I have personally experienced these issues. I lost my job of sixteen years, amid a frightening cancer scare. Living on minimal unemployment benefits while I sought God's direction, I learned not to let a single negative thought enter my mind, which is why I quoted scriptures in prayer that I share with you in this book. Not surprisingly, God moved beyond my wildest dreams, and He will do the same for you.

It is a rare privilege to be allowed inside someone's mind and a huge responsibility - especially so when that mind has been battered almost into submission. To those who have no personal experience as victims of spousal abuse, those who read to understand and to help, this book gives you a peek into the state of the mind of battered women, a state of helpless, hopelessness , loneliness, fearfulness, illusion, and pain. The book enables you to understand the physical, emotional, and psychological dynamics that drives the actions of a woman that has been battered into submission. An understanding that may perhaps make you a channel of support to those who are trapped in the valleys of destructive relationships, and who need a lifeline to pull them up from the valley of abuse and hopelessness to the stable ground of refuge and hope.

In 1866, Samuel L. Clemens was "lost" in Hawai'i. On assignment to the Sandwich Islands, the journalist who would become Mark Twain suddenly stopped writing and disappeared. What was he doing on Maui during those six weeks? Emily Witt, English professor from Buffalo, NY, discovers a notebook Clemens may have left behind. Clemens's and the professor's voices pulse against the rhythm of Hawai'i then and now. In alternating narratives of Emily's journey and Clemens's missing weeks, "Lost Twain" explores the lure of 'going native' and 'the view from the shore,' how Hawaiians embrace outsiders - or don't.
