From the author: This collection is gathered and compiled from my head, desk, and computer. Some written recently when I decided to publish this book. Some written long ago and almost forgotten. It is surprising how story ideas stayed in my head so I could again use characters from novels written years ago. Suprising how many fractured works were in my files ready to be rewritten, edited, and bound. I have retrieved and published them so they would not be overlooked and lost someday when my office is cleaned out. I have a personal connection to every story, sequel, poem, and recipe contained in this book. Each one is close to my heart in some way. Each is an important part of my body of work. Close to Home is for my family, my family of friends, and my family of readers. It is a book for quiet times and quick diversions. Each piece stands alone. I hope you cannot decide which is your favorite-maybe it will be the next one you choose. It is my hope that you will know Faye Green, Author, better after reading Close to Home.

Cologne, Germany, the famous Cathedral city. Eight months after D-Day, the U.S. troops are now on the cusp of a long-awaited milestone: the reaching of the Rhine. Cologne is the largest city to be captured by the GIs on any front so far. Nazi propaganda has declared the city will be defended to the last cartridge. The impending battle has dominated the headlines of the world press for days. Some of the photos and film shots taken by the cameramen are still perceived in the USA as the most famous scenes of World War II, in particular pictures and footage of a final, dramatic tank duel at the base of the Cathedral. However, who the people in those scenes were remained unknown for more than 6 decades. It was Rheindorf who was able to identify the American crew members who had been attacked by a German Panther tank, as well as being able to prove the identity of the German crew. Also the fascinating, but sad story about the young civilian Katharina Esser in the crossfire of a German and an American tank is based on Rheindorf's research, like many other incidents, underpinned with significant documents. With personal contributions by: Andy Rooney (correspondent "The Stars & Stripes"), Clarence Smoyer (3rd Armored Division), Francis Wilber (104th Infantry Division), James Bates (U.S. Signal Corps), Leon Rosenmann (U.S. Signal Corps), Clarence Voight Garrell (U.S. Signal Corps), Tom S. Noble (U.S. Signal Corps), Allan Jackson (photographer), Larry Riordan (correspondent), Robert Ziller (RAF-cameraman), Engelbert Bockhoff (9.Panzerdivision), Wilhelm Barthelborth (Panzerbrigade 106), Gustav Schäfer (Panzerbrigade 106), Günther Müller (360. Inf.-Division), the families of Karl E. Kellner, Julian Patrick, Kathi Esser and many others.

The Senate experience with Kavanaugh was foretold in "The Curse..." It is the story of the religious bigotry and power controlling Congress told through fiction. It begins with the strange death of Justice Sacerdozio (a facsimile of Justice Scalia) at a retreat on a ranch in far West Texas. Tommy Jon, the first Harvard law Jicarilla Apache, who served as clerk to the Justice, quickly becomes a target of the FBI as one for murder with motive. The Constitutional interpretation and philosophy were at loggerheads the moment Tommy started working for the Justice. While the plot takes you through the harrowing fearful experience of Tommy Jon not only as a suspect but being indited and tried, it unveils the conspiracy of Opus Dei and a powerful religious right organization who conspire and join together, using industrialists' dark money to control the Senate nomination process of federal judges. This book came out last November. Now that we are past the Gosuch and Kavanaugh Senate confirmation process, it is unreal, perhaps surreal how fiction can mimic facts before facts become known.

In the last two decades, Free Market Economy and Democracy came to the brink of collapse. These systems will continue to stand at the edge of the hill unless their fundamental flaw is dealt with. Unfortunately, while the issues of secondary importance are freely discussed, it is a taboo to mention the elephant in the room: the social intellect threshold for the society for the proper functioning of Free Market Economy and Democracy is rising every passing day, while the Social Intellect of the society is not.The freedom to choose does not have much of a meaning if the society does not have the ability to choose. When the society gets naive enough to be manipulated to make choices that transfer economic and political power to concentrated interest groups who serve their own interests at the expense of the society, Free Market Economy and Democracy fail to serve their functions.Losing Social Intellect analyses why Social Intellect is weakening, how this shakes the foundations of the western social order, and what can be done to cure these troubles before the western economic and political systems are ruined.
