This is a love story of an African American family  living in the American South during the late 1800’s until the present time.  It traces their linage though the use of DNA and Census Reports. It tells their story through a Narrator. The Story Teller was almost like a mystery writer as he uncovers and reveals an exceptional family. We applauded the fortitude and endurance of this multi-generational family as they fought to keep their dignity and pride during those times in the racial segregated South. We then saw the Family contribute to the New American South.

Lee Baldwin moves to Maine to revel in a tide of solitude and brood about her missing husband. Instead she’s pulled into the daily dramas of Dolly, her flighty landlady; Maxine, the small town’s store proprietor; a welder at Bath Iron works; a trio of boys running wild; and their mother, who may or may not have heard a saint speak. Lee feels especially the fierce grace of Hazel, an elderly woman whose grip on life breathes energy into her own. Evoking the lives of northern New Englanders who struggle in the shadow side of prosperity, Preservation explores the isolation—and possibilities—of a time before electronics linked us nonstop through the cloud. Cynthia Lang graduated from Smith College, won a Vogue Prix de Paris, and worked as a staff writer on Glamour.

How to determine what critical things will make the property work for you...or not... How understanding your mortgage options can save you money... Specific types of properties that you need to avoid - or they will bankrupt you... What issues are typically negotiable - and what typically aren't... How to get your offer accepted over others... Legal pitfalls to avoid... (some your attorney may not tell you about)... Environmental issues you need to be aware of and how to deal with these when buying a home... (includes lead paint, radon, asbestos, vermiculite, electromagnetic fields, and more) How to avoid getting stuck with a failed septic system... Evaluating private wells and water quality... Ernest A.

Max's mother Natasha was killed in the 9/11 attack, and Max is devastated because of his close relationship with her. His stepfather asks him to tidy up her personal belongings and her stack of old records and papers. During the process Max discovers a journal in which she describes her married life with her transgendered husband, and her struggle in bringing up Max who could do prodigious memory feats but suffered from serious learning disabilities. The novel pursues two narrative tracks: in one, Max does a deconstruction of the effect of the 9/11 attack on New Yorkers, including himself, and, in the other, Natasha describes her turbulent life in New York during the last four decades of the twentieth century. The concluding section deals with Max zeroing in onto the origins of the 9/11 attack and the hidden warning signs he finds in the digital texts he accidentally discovers at the website of an Arab professor at NYU who is a close friend of Natasha.

His life begins as he leaves his demeaning father in the dust as he rides his horse out of the castle gates. I couldn't stop thinking about the last words I had said to my father... "If I return home...it will be in a coffin." He yelled behind me as I rode out of the gates, "Your inheritance to your legacy is forfeit now." His words trailed off in the distance as I galloped down the road. Tirrith's life takes a huge turn when he finds out his life is saved by being turned into a vampire. As you read each book, Tirrith tells his story as he takes you through his adventures. He builds a castle, is crowned King, lives through an exorcism, speaks with his demon, and takes on an empire. My book speaks of the simplest things in life from eating a muffin for breakfast to trying to stay alive slashing through an ocean of men armed to the teeth. Tirrith's look on life is an inspiration to us all. Live life to the fullest, enjoy the simple things in life, make life your own canvas, and paint a new picture every day.

There was no cure. There were no more treatments or medications that could help. No way of reversing the years of lung damage, scarring, infection, or inflammation. Both of my lungs were no longer able to adequately provide oxygen to the cells in my body. Carbon dioxide was building up in my bloodstream to a dangerous level. The excessive, forceful coughing was popping holes in my lungs and causing them to deflate. I could no longer live with my lungs. It was time for double lung transplant, the last resort."Born with Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic, progressive, life-threatening illness, Kelly was told she would only live to 18 years old. She surpassed the statistic, and at age 29, was officially placed on the national wait list for a double lung transplant. Doctors said there was a 1% chance of finding a donor match for this life-saving transplant. Kelly's wait for her new lungs was full of hardships and resilience, but through it all, she found her faith and whole new life.Breathe Deep is a true, inspirational story about beating the odds. Life is full of trials and tribulations, and Breathe Deep will inspire you to make the most out of your life, strengthen your faith, and have HOPE.THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YOU NEED ONLY TO BE STILL.

“Spill the blood of the children first,” commanded the Black King, after confirming that the final test was scheduled at three homes: a boy’s orphanage headed by an Afghanistan war veteran, twin boys whose father is a game designer and a young ballerina. Meridian nervously prepares for flight certification, which will admit her to the prestigious—and dangerous—profession of tooth fairy acquisition specialist. It will also allow her to secretly search for her missing mother, who disappeared during a mission on Earth to protect Terraloria, Gallia’s most sacred and powerful artifact from the Black King. However, dark forces are in play that will challenge Meridian to pass the final test.Terraloria has been located on Earth, where its power and ability to influence events is muted and easier to hide. Even so, its effects can be traced through earth history, and the Black King’s mentally unstable Researcher is dangerously close to finding it. Supported by an army of fairies, trolls, harpies and mercenaries, whose deadly mission will alter the lives of three human households, with Meridian as the unwitting sacrificial pawn in a high stakes game with no rules, success in acquiring the artifact is imminent.Unbeknownst to all the players in this war, a new challenger with far more ambitious goals, powered by an unquenchable thirst for revenge, has radically different intentions. Neither Meridian’s final testing nor the Black King’s planned celebration go according to anyone’s plan, and the young fairy is about to face more than she ever could have imagined—and she may be the only hope to save both worlds.Meridian’s Heart is a captivating story, seamlessly woven with historical facts and events, rich with heroes and heroines, twists and tangles, and a spellbinding tale of friendship, survival, hope and the desire to be loved—all wrapped in the uncertainty of fate, chance and destiny. 

The author Discussed the rôle of plate tectonics and salt movements in terms of plate kinematics (a new term: "Halo-kinematics); defined the stratigraphic relation of the Triassic deposits with that of the Gulf of Mexico. It is worth mentioning that the second edition of the book disclosed important geological and petroleum issues that led to the discovery of a new Triassic basin in northeast of the High Plateau of Algeria, defined its trend, and disclosed the issue of "The Missing Triassic cycle in North Algeria"; also, defined the Dome-like structure of the Hassi R 'Mel Gas Field which had been mis-interpreted as an anticlinal structure by the French geologists of "SN-REPAL, 1970", such efforts finally led to the discovery of an Oil Ring structure at the base of the Hassi R'Mel Gas field for the first time in the Middle East (only known in Asia (e.g. Iran & Russia). It is interesting to mention that Mr. Ait Hammouda, the previous boss of the author at the northern High Plateaux was transferred together with the author to the main Dept of the Triassic Province of the southern Saharan Platform (District IV), and later the author updated several petroleum, and Stratigraphically issues, and finally discovered the oil Ring structure at the Base of the Hassi RMel gas Field.

Later, the author, took the responsibility of the Canadian International Pteromata Incorporation (IPI CO) that dealt with the new Data Base Retrieval System, while he was actually checking the drilling progress of the productive wells of his own discovery of the Oil Ring structure.

This memoir tells the story of my life from my Becoming in 1980 (Old Time) until my retirement to Mars in the early 22nd century O.T. I saw the fall of the nation state and the rise of the Corporations. I was there when JC conquered Space-Time and the cyber world circumscribed man. I knew manmade woman and voyaged throughout the solar system. I saw football rise and the world embrace it. I heard the roar of the Lamb and felt buildings fall. But most of all, I was a friend to Septimus—blessed is his name to me—the great scion of Old Texas, who we immortalized with that great statue in front of the headquarters for Earth Corp. Through him I became a Top Corporate and learned the secrets behind the “headlines” of those days. These secrets—at least those that Pub Corp will allow—I give to you, my absorbers. Enjoy and learn.    J“George’s a good man, but there’s too much of the church goer in him… of course, it was either church or the bottle for him, and he picked the church.
