The Smile of DecemberBy: Jonathan VickersTHE SMILE OF DECEMBER is a family drama with an overall theme of fatherhood in its various forms. For Darryl Walker, being a good father to two handsome boys would be his finest achievement, nullifying the mistakes of his own father, but fate can intervene in strange ways. The joys and sadness of fatherhood are tested time and again - sometimes elevated, sometimes crushed - for Darryl and his two sons, brothers who are as different as God could possibly create them and who lead unusual and surprising lives as adults. Darryl raises his sons while enduring a loveless marriage to a woman he was emotionally blackmailed into marrying; always remembering the beautiful woman he does love but will never be able to love completely. The lives of these five people are sent on an unforeseen trajectory by the cruel and vicious act of a rapist - a rape that alters and re-defines who they are: Does creating a life give a man ownership to it? Is a man bound to be faithful to a woman he does not love? Can the friendship between two men transcend a sexual act?About the AuthorJONATHAN VICKERS, formerly an actor and director in theatre, has now turned to writing. This is his first novel after penning a short story he's rather proud of, several memoir pieces, and an essay on how the coronavirus pandemic affected New York City. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, an Army veteran, and worked for many years in hospital administration. He is now retired and lives in New York with his wife, daughter, and granddaughter, who finds it fun to call him "Babbo".

An invaluable guide to the most common rules a golfer is likely to encounter on the golf course. Pocket Golf Rules forms a concise and practical reference source to the rules as laid down by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. The book also acts as a guide to any infringements and penalties that may occur as a result of breaking the rules. Aimed at both the beginner and regular club golfer, the book follows the progress of two players of differing ability and the different situations which they experience over nine holes of a course. The implications of each rule they encounter, or breach, are explored before the players move on to the next hole. Pocket Golf Rules contains the most recent updates to the rules while illustrations demonstrate those that come into play most often. It is a must for any player who wants to save time and arguments on one of the most trying aspects of the game.
