Here, Loose Change doesn't refer to the collection of coins we occasionally find in coat pockets or at the bottom of handbags, but to the fact that the short stories and reflections in this compilation are all loosely connected with change-be it geographical, or emotional. Change can be a farewell, a change of heart, an unexpected loss. It can be a small change-a minor shift in views or attitudes, or a monumental upheaval. We can initiate change or find ourselves at its mercy. Change, or rather changes, in whatever form, come with life-and living. Here are some of ours. Spanning cultures, generations and walks of life, we, The Frankfurt Writers' Group, write fiction and non-fiction. Our work consists of short stories, novel chapters, journal entries, poetry, or children's literature. Many of our pieces have become published novels, articles for magazines or newspapers, or have been featured on-air, including with National Public Radio in the USA.

The Book Thousands of Trade Contractors Will Want by Their Sides. Trade contractors excel at mastery of their specific crafts. The plumber, the electrician, the carpet installer, the home builder...all these and the many other contractors and subcontractors servicing America's homes and businesses know the technical aspects of their craft inside out. But their knowledge of business systems often lags. Too many of them fail when it comes to understanding how to manage cash, use telemarketing techniques to get new business, minimize their inventories, and the dozens of other business techniques that spell the difference between success and failure. The Business Doctor's book Why Trade Contractors Fail and How to Prevent It, subtitled A Handbook of Financial, Operations, and Marketing Procedures to Help Trade Contractors Succeed addresses those issues. It attacks specific problems that contractors face. Most books addressing this market are too academic and excessively focused on theory. This one is hands-on practical, the way blue collar contractors understand it and like it.

A not quite sixteen-year-old Alfred Pickup is declared healthy, and after a simple written exam, joins the Royal Navy as a Junior Electrical Mechanic 2nd class in 1961. Pickup would serve on numerous ships from the HMS Wakeful, a decaying WW II era Destroyer to the HMS Cardiff, a brand new destroyer in 1979. Before joining any ship, a sixteen-year-old must learn many new skills. From minor obstacles of embroidering his name on his uniforms to learning to use a rifle, Pickup is readied for duty in strict Navy tradition. He puts together a string of first round knockouts as a member of the boxing team before seemingly meeting his match in a local ranked amateur. He would see incredible storms, on board fires, mechanical breakdowns, and the threat of war when the Falklands conflict began in 1982. Different ports-of-call would offer a range of shore leave possibilities. Strict navy regulations would not deter some crew from overindulging, nor would it protect them from unscrupulous individuals looking to separate them from their pay. While in foreign ports, Pickup would meet a remarkable number of Navy-friendly locals happy to show him the sights or take him into their homes for a home cooked meal. Raising a family of four on a meager Navy pay would see Pickup and his wife running a bed & breakfast, and later a fish and chips shop. Pickup worked odd jobs ashore and during a lengthy station in Gibraltar, operated a booming automotive repair and paint shop. Fish and Ships chronicles with humour and fine detail a twenty-five year career in the RN that would see Pickup rise to the rank of Chief Petty Officer and retire from service in his early forties to life as a restaurateur.

But there, two races meet, neither knowing until then that there are any others in the world. Polynesians, voyaging in quest of a place to start new fiefs, discover islands occupied by tribal blacks.
