From early youth, I was fascinated by logic, philosophy, and mathematics. Then I went to college and discovered the mind-body problem-which drives the other? Slowly I realized that this would give me justification, on an intellectual level, for the actions I would later take. But those actions would prove to be far from intellectual . . .

It seems that there is not enough singing in pre-school these days, while we as educators get caught up with the demands of preparing children for formal schooling. Young children love to sing and move. They respond to repetitive rhymes and action. The songs in this book are a great resource to compliment their learning across all the curriculum areas. This song book will bring out the natural singer in every early childhood teacher, student and parent. When I teach children a new lesson, a young child will ask me "is there a song about...?" My answer is "yes," because there can be a song about anything and everything, and if you are still searching for those songs, this book offers many possibilities.

Miriam Jones is an immaculately authentic woman with a great life as a pastor in Australia and a big loving family of five children and twelve grandchildren in Kenya, Africa. You would never know that unbeknownst to people and behind closed doors, this woman''s idyllic life was tainted by pain and rejection festering in her heart-a product of growing up in extreme poverty and abuse.In this heart-tugging memoir, Miriam brings to life her experience growing up in an abusive home, rejected by everyone she loved and the shame that accompanied it. The emotional weight that she carried ultimately led to a suicide attempt of her and her children. In this text, Miriam exemplifies God''s mighty hand in every season of her life, though she was unaware of who he was and how, through the odds, she thrived and became the woman God intended her to be.From Nowhere to Somewhere is a memoir about realising that your past does not define you but the calling that God has on your life that will prevail. It is a powerful story about the power of forgiveness, obedience, and complete surrender.

The suburbs chosen to be the setting for the stories and poems in this book have something significant about them that makes it right for the story.

This novel was self-published through Xlibris in 2019 and since then has been extensively marketed through several avenues and platforms headlined by book exhibitions and major book fairs around the world such as The Book Expo America (New York), Beijing, and Guadalajara Book Fairs and London next year (due to 2020 cancellation because of the virus). It has also been featured in Press Releases and my website (http://www.ivan-molloy.org/) . Moreover it has been favourably reviewed by The Clarion Review and The Kirkus Review. However, I am approaching you now as I am seeking a more traditional publisher.Simply put, this novel is a somewhat comical satire of the politics and history of our world and is suitable for all ages. The main character Hunkle Trotter (a pig), lives in Mudwallow in a far off pig world. War soon rages between the pigs of Mudwallow and Hamcorner, as the elite among the Wallowites, known as snouters, seek to expand their power and fortunes through military means. As the snouters' mercenary soldiers, the boars, and the Holy Pomponer, the head of the Wallowites' faith, hoard food and wealth during this time, it is the weary, working-class trotters who go without. While the fight bogs down due to self-serving double-crosses and incompetent leaders, Hunkle finds himself in the role of an unlikely revolutionary.Meanwhile Hunkle's Cousin Crumpet has produced a series of writings on 'pigolitics' and 'pigolosophy' that demand equality and a rejection of snouter rule. Along with the vengeful rebel Snooper and Hunkle's son, Whiskers, Crumpet establishes the snotters, a group that rejects the strict class structure and the worship of the Pomponer's "Great One," a deity that supposedly blesses pigkind from the Black Mountain volcano. Unrest grows, and the snotters are able to gain advantages over the ruling upper classes through utilizing the prized badapple, a tree with explosive properties and technological possibilities, as well by taking advantage of the lies of the religious caste, by proving that the Great One is no god.Somewhat a cross between the Game of Thrones and Animal Farm, Dealing With Pigs, is filled with scheming bad pigs and harrowing battles. Ultimately the revolution is successful only to fall prey itself to dictatorship, new revolts and quests to find a better way. In what is Book One, there are parallels with our human contemporary global politics and history except for major twists and turns leading to Book Two (currently being written).
