'A Bus Ride Through the Night' is an adventurous journey from boyhood to early manhood through the experience of Tom MacIntyre, high school actor and discus thrower, stockroom worker, suit salesman, Off-Broadway and Broadway actor. A tall rangy, sensitive and outgoing young man, Tom finds a home for his dreams in New York City, only a bus ride from his mother's home in suburbia, yet a far greater distance in time and maturity filled with the self-discovery of his own weaknesses as well as his enduring strengths. Tom makes a lengthy stopover at the former New York department store, B. Altman's. Doris Fiene, the older woman with whom he shares an apartment and deeply formative years, is a truly gifted artist fated to be born at a time when the world can't appreciate her gifts and fated to fall in love with Tom, before he's drawn away by his own gifts. Tom's journey doesn't reach a final destination. Rather, it is a journey of the spirit that will last forever.
When my novel, 'Pathways' begins, we find our heroine, Angie Turner, employed full-time at a Bargain Store in her hometown of Paterson, New Jersey and attending the local community college. Angie is the best employee at work, the best student at her college and the stalwart support to her friends and wayward parents, a White mother and a Black father, although she rarely departs from her modest demeanor, despite her obvious exceptional abilities. Angie meets a recent Pakistani immigrant, falls in love, becomes pregnant and loses the father of her child when immigration officers remove him from the country, because of a flaw in his visa application. The daughter Angie gives birth to is stricken with a rare congenital neurological disorder, but neither this devastating setback, nor the difficulty of raising and supporting a disabled child as a single parent can prevent Angie from succeeding brilliantly through college, law school, and eventually, a career as a New York attorney.

I would like to start by saying that the church's vision for all mankind is given to the men and women of God to feed the flock, not just the spirit of man but the whole man, who has the purpose in their hearts to trust the Lord. I have been saved for thirty-one years, and I have witnessed that the church has lost the vision that Jesus Christ purchased with his own blood. When I was filled with the Holy Spirit, the church didn't have much, but the love of God operated so powerfully within each one. But now that the church is blessed, real love has faded. This book is designed to help the members of the church work together to regain the church's vision. There is a dream given.
Sad Lover Boy is my first literary child. I think I've birthed some good words that are interesting to read. This is a largely personal poetry book. I think the juxtaposition throughout this book is fun, one minute you might be reading a serious passage about my depressive view of the state of the world, then the next you're reading a weird poem I sent a girl that's a conversation between a duck and a pigeon, but there's meaning and thought behind both. In essence, these are poems from someone who's spending their 20s in the 2020s. If you're older than me this might provide interesting insights, if you're the same age enjoy the zoomer doomer humour, if you're younger probably don't read this there's bad words.
Quest of this story concerns belief inherent family bond connection men and women have, throughout generations, lived, continue to do so, holding them together, culturally family and what happens when that relationship is disaffected?
Hello, readers, this is probably, almost certainly, the last time my poor, silly, poems will be published. I am planning to retire from work in the next year or so and there are other things I want to do. Actually, I am planning to do nothing. Just rest; I'm very tired. As usual, these poems are not autobiographical, but are a compilation of experiences I have heard about a second or third hand from people who have lived in New York City. As such, they are a work of fiction after having been reshaped in my imagination. I wish you all good luck and much happiness.

Wanting to be a better writer has been a penchant of mine since I wrote my first essay. I am not sure but I believe that it was in my fourth grade. The essay was filled with incomplete sentences, for instance, he me money, I wrote of my uncle giving me money. I omitted Gave. The kids called me, he me money for a long time. In High School I elected to take English literature, my friends called me lame, for wanting to discuss Shakespeare and Dickens for an entire period. They say that there are no chance meetings and that everything happens for a reason. Studying the old masters, I learned that extensively verbalizing and painting panoramic pictures, causes young readers to lose interest quickly. I picked up war and peace at fourteen years old and never finished reading the book. So when I started to Write my Objective was to tell my Story with as few words as possible. I have been blogging for seven years, I toy with my readers, telling them that my goal is to write a blog with one sentence and a book on one page. This book has been in the works in my mind for fifty three years. Since my first day in High School

This book was inspired by my six-year-old son Alexander. He likes the stories very much and thinks that other children will too. As a result, I decided to write this book so that it could be enjoyed by children around the world. Information about the wildlife is factual, and the stories are based on the Author's experiences growing up as a boy in Guyana in the nineteen fifties. A lot of the wildlife in the book are becoming extinct, and I encourage children to talk to their parents and do whatever they can to preserve our environment for future generations. This book is both entertaining and educational, and I hope that your children enjoy it as much as Alexander!

The Legend of the Rose is a story of love and life, a love that never dies, and a story of a power that when used for the wrong reason can make one cold and evil. It begins in the kingdoms of Glenview and Penrose, where there is a beautiful princess and a handsome prince who grow up together and fall in love. In another kingdom not so far away, a poor young servant is approached by a stranger who offers him anything his heart desires. What he desires most is power, and he will sell his soul to get it in order to become a great and powerful king. I invite you to read and see why. What I have to present to you is a fairy tale that I wrote for our second daughter, Cassandra, when she went to pick a rose from our garden and was pricked by a thorn. Not liking the fact the rose pricked her little finger, she asked why it had thorns, and thus, a story was created/born. Other than a self-publishing book, I have never been truly published.
This book is designed to encourage the champion within you, to stay inspired, and continue to fight while knowing confidently She Is Pretty Strong.
