Imagine my excitement. As a newly minted college graduate, I just arrived in New York City, soon to begin my first real job. I will be joining Peter and Wells, as an editorial assistant. I quickly signed a lease on an affordable apartment. To supplement my modest salary, I found a weekend bartending job at a popular restaurant. I reported early on Monday morning. After paperwork with the personnel department, I was introduced to Anne Hopkins, a senior editor, who would be my supervisor. She was a superb editor and an outstanding mentor/teacher. Meet Henry Smithe Weathersbee, Managing Editor, later Vice President of Publishing. In my early career, he was an exceptional mentor. I moved rapidly up the corporate ladder, thanks to strong mentorships, my diligent work habits and being the right person in the right place at the right time. I was given an exceptional opportunity to work with a newly signed, but difficult author. Larry O'Neil was a brilliant author and lived up to his reputation of being difficult. Larry is gay and has been in a long-term relationship. Working closely, we developed a productive relationship and became close friends. I met and married Natalie Hewitt, the daughter of a Chinese mother and a bi-racial American father. The family controls a worldwide corporation. Natalie gave me 3 magnificent children. In process of writing his novel, dealing with Sainthood, Larry has extensive contact with the Catholic Church and with a Msgr. Murphy. Larry reaches an independent decision to end his relationship with long-time partner and to abandon his gay lifestyle. Peter, the rejected partner, blames me and Msgr. Murphy for Larry's decision. He joins forces with Weathersbee and launches a substantial attack on me. In a Board meeting Weathersbee demands, that I be fired! He will resign if the Board rejects his motion. Peter initiates a lawsuit against Peter and Wells and me personally. My Perfect Life could now be ended!

Included in FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS FROM OUR FORGOTTEN WAR are 30 letters written and sent between May 1951 and May 1953. Twenty-Eight of them were sent to newlyweds Frank and Mary Gossett where they lived in New York's Washington Heights. Two of them were sent to army soldier CPL Edward F. (Eddie) Hines somewhere in Korea. Nine men and women, between the ages of 16 and 22, sent these letters. They called themselves the "gang" in their letters, but they were just young people dealing with the uncertainty of a country at war and knowing they may pay the price with their lives and sanity. These letters and a few more were kept in a tin canister in Frank Gossett's closet for over 60 years. These letters are a testament to his earnest efforts and struggles and those of his family and friends at a very troubling time in our country.

OTHO THE GREATis a play written by John Keats in 1819, in collaboration with his friend Charles Brown, who planned its construction. Brown could claim a half-right in Keats's longest work, intended for Edmund Kean at Drury Lane in London. Keats was convinced that this play would have made both his name and a tidy sum if it was ever performed. OTHO THE GREAT was never performed in Keats' lifetime and rarely if ever since. This historical drama is written in exact iambic pentameter, more exact than the verse that appears so frequently in the plays of William Shakespeare. It is based on the life of Otto I (November 23, 912 - May 7, 973), also known as Otto the Great. He was a German king from 936 and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 962 until his death in 973. The oldest son of Henry I the Fowler and Matilda, Otto was the first of the Germans to be called the emperor of Italy.
