Grandfather and Me: An Angel's Kiss Poetry, is a collection of prose and poetry from two generations: Russel F. Hyde, born in London, England in 1889-my Grandfather; Merrilynn E. Wheeler, born in Fair Haven, VT in 1952. Grandfather never wrote a standard letter. He wrote in poetry to his sons at war; his daughters and their families, and to his two granddaughters, Donna and me.

It's a surprising combination of the illustrations of three animals that represent a collection of cautionary tales. The author counts on the creative imagination of the reader to grasp the full meaning of the three animals represented here: a boa constrictor, an elephant and a whale. The boa constrictor and the elephant are taken from the imaginative tale of St-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" where we find a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant that grown ups call a "hat." As to the whale, it's there to remind the reader of the Biblical whale that swallowed Jonah.It's a reminder of being in the belly of the beast. The cautionary tales in this book are thus represented as tales of the creative imagination that remind the reader that sometimes one needs to be cautious about what one does or hears. The author simply asks the reader to open one's mind to the fascination of imaginary tales that rival so called fact and reality. Children are most often sensitive to what grown-ups fail to decipher and understand.They see a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant while grownups see a hat.
The gang phenomenon is a major concern in the United States today as youth fight each other and victimize innocent people. The cost of law enforcement involved in dealing with gangs, investigating their crimes, and protecting the community is tremendous. Ethnic gangs throughout history have been notorious for violent behavior. Gangs fought to maintain their territory in the city much the same way that Chicano/Latino gangs fight to maintain their territory. The gang problem remains a serious community problem. Progress in dealing with it can only be made when the community-at-large, at the political and economic level, becomes involved.

This book is the result of seven years in Silicon Valley and over 100 focused interviews with women in a range of professions. Through the narratives of women whose lived experience spans decades and scores of institutions, it seeks to understand the history of sexism and current gender dynamics in the Valley. It presents stories of survival, resistance, courage and insistence of women who refuse to accept today what has always been a given: that Silicon Valley is run by and for men, with little understanding or concern for the impact of this unquestioned sexism on women. This book also presents an alternative path which might be taken identifying approaches and ideas that can lead us to a different, better, more egalitarian, and also more profitable future. As such, the book is both a study and a guide. It seeks to inform and question, but also to prepare and arm women-and men-to engage and succeed in Silicon Valley.

Welcome to my little book of Poems for Everyday People. Before you read its contents, I have a confession to make; I am not a poet! That's right. I'm a writer but I'm not a poet. How can that be, you may ask? It's simple. For one year God has awakened me at 3:15AM to give me a new poem, twenty-five in all.At first, I tried to ignore the pithy little nuggets but it soon became clear these were not just poems. They were words of love, encouragement, peace, joy and inspiration spoken by God through me. They are a gift to his children, everyday people facing life's trials and tribulations.Thank you, God, for choosing me as your voice.
Books for Young and Early School-Aged BoysThis is the first in a new series of children's books, The Adventures of Jay and Gizmo. These books are aimed specifically at young and early school-aged boys. They are written based on the educational research into the factors that have been shown to play a role in increasing the probability that boys will develop an interest in reading at an early age.Educational research has shown that the number one predictor that children will experience long-term success in school is the level of reading readiness that they already have when they begin school. The research also shows that young boys that have been provided with books that have specific characteristics are likely to have a higher level of reading readiness when they begin school. These characteristics are: Books that have a male as the central character; Books that the boys actually own, even if they cannot yet read them by themselves; Books that contain action, adventure and/or problem-solving by boys; Books that portray the central character modeling behaviors such as reading, problem-solving, and searching for and applying knowledge; Books in which the vocabulary allows them to be read to boys by their parents in their early years, and by the boys themselves once they begin to read for themselves.
