This dip into the magical years of 1960 and onwards in Paris and London with my friend Cyclops is an attempt to recapture, with as much detail as possible, those early bohemian Paris days, days highly favorable to creativity and those London days of economic abundance that allowed enterprising people to develop their individual talents. For Cy, those years broke the rule that working class men did not go into book dealing or open their own businesses. For me, with little cash and no family help, I managed to open a boutique, establish the first textile designs studio in London, and later in Paris, to become a fashion forecaster to the world's top fashion houses and printers. My memoir, Technicolor Dreamin' - In her own fashion, was published in 2018.

But determined to find a better life he went to university and finally to America.

How many times did you feel that you are not living the life you were designed to live? How many times you got frustrated when you saw others following their calling and reaching their place of destiny?  

How many times have you lost your patience and trust in God and so forfeited your blessing? How many times you got caught in a cozy comfort zone and lost sight of the important things?

Life was never meant to be a daily survival routine.

You were not designed for an ordinary, frustration-filled life. You were created to thrive.

"Awaken Your Destiny" is a Christian, biblically rooted book meant to unlock your potential and set you out on the journey to your destiny.

Winner of 20 national book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author's father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgium border on February 8,1944.

Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war.  Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable. 

Doug leaned slightly to the side and touched the knob to click on the radio. Scratchy sounds. He slowed the vehicle for a moment to adjust the stations knob. Nothing but interference. So much for AM. FM would be better. He flicked the selection knob.

But before he could tune in a station, he heard a knock on his car window.

What?

A knocking sound.

But where? He was going fifty-five.

Rear window. Back seat window. Something striking under the vehicle.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

To his right. The passenger window.

No one was riding with him, so who could be knocking on that window?

Again. Three loud knocks.

Look and see. Turn your head slightly to the right to see.

No. He could not. He froze.

Turn and look!

No. The chills erupted through his system like a flooding of ice water. Nerves electrified.

It was as if he had just been struck by lightning from somewhere beyond his viewing range.

Bam. Bam. Bam. From the edge of his vision, the corner of his right eye, he saw what looked like a shadow of a human being with glowing red eyes. But at this speed?

This is a timely, heart-wrenching, beautiful true story. There are messages within this book's pages of hard-heartedness, forgiveness and redemption. This is a first-person account of an almost volcanic hatred so fierce it engulfed father and son for more than three decades. It's also about Who led them to a Higher Place with streams of Living Water to douse the fires of revenge. A Place where fathers and sons may find forgiveness and reconciliation.

The Amber Crane pushes the boundaries of time-travel fiction and of your imagination in this tale of a journey from the past into the present, set in two devastating wars three hundred years apart and steeped in the lore and legends of amber from the shores of the Baltic Sea. 

Clutching precious amber found in a clump of seaweed, PETER, an amber guild apprentice in Pomerania in the waning years of the Thirty Years’ War, has a choice to make. Despite the severe penalties imposed on such an action, Peter keeps the amber and works on it in secret, with potentially disastrous consequences for people close to him. Meanwhile, unaware of the amber piece’s magical powers, Peter finds himself drawn into a world three hundred years in the future where he gets embroiled in the troubles of a mysterious stranger.  

A Current Deception is Book Five in the Darcy Farthing Adventures and works fine as a stand-alone read. A cruise along the Australian coast turns traumatic and deadly when a homicidal master of disguise, a food-borne pathogen, and a hapless band of Yellow Crazy ants invade the ship. The interrelated motives and actions of passengers and crew, with links to  U.S. and Australian locations, converge in a suspenseful plot and surprising resolution.

The Liberty Bell Files: J Edgar's Demons is a work of fiction...seriously. Neither the Liberty Bell Project nor "the Files," nor The Special Projects Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ever existed. Can you imagine the FBI investigating a guy who didn't want to pay sales tax on a cup of coffee? Or a guy who somebody thought wrote a story disrespectful to the Japanese? Or a prostitute calling herself Karla Marx, who advocated revolution by sex? No one would authorize time and resources for such things. But, just for the sake of argument, let's say...

Dave Clawson of Hell (Michigan) might have started his FBI career with the Special Projects Division fresh from the Academy-the non-existent SPD. Inside the DC Beltway, questions about the SPD might be met with a puzzled-puppy expression or a quick wave of the hand and a dismissive, "that old Hoover myth? Fuhgeddaboudit, Mack." The SPD might have had had a centuries-old mandate from the Commander-In-Chief himself for tough, nasty jobs no one else can handle.

The Liberty Bell Files--if they existed--might have covered a full spectrum of humanity, from the wholly benign to the horribly malevolent. A good 99% of them would have been about people and groups that were, at worst, harmless crackpots or who just had a different way of looking at life-harming and threatening no one. One might have had to do with an overweight cat; another, an IRS-certified "church" that "worshiped" that relaxing nap after you-know-what. The remaining 1% might have been-and possibly still could be downright scary. Some people in those files could have killed federal agents; some could have blown up buildings, their mysteries "solved" somewhere...maybe. To find those bad ones, the SPD's imaginary agents would have had to wade through the harmless, the bogus, and the weird.

So help me, Hanna

lt was a bright, warm spring morning



Bobbing gaily in the river was a large golden oak leaf, a very large leaf.



After some moments, a pair of pale green hands appeared and grabbed the sides of the leaf. And then there followed a head to match..



And so, a little Pixie, by the name of Peter arrived at the forest.



In this, the opening book of the series, Peter learns his very first lesson about giving.



Peter and the Ants Pt 1 is the first of the Peter the Pixie stories. Here we are introduced to the innocent little green person, and follow in his learning about giving and generosity,



ln addition to being an amusing and interesting story in itself, these tales also integrate a rich learning system.



Firstly; most of the stories incorporate an educational or moral theme or message that can be reflected on with your child.



Secondly; each story exists in five levels of difficulty; 'I Can Colour', 'I Can Read', 'I Am Reading,' 'I Read Alone,' and 'Read To Me'.



They each contain the same images and the same text, with increasing levels of simplification.



Thirdly; the' I Can Read' and 'I am Reading' versions will also exist in different bilingual editions.



Finally; for each 'I Can Read' language version, there will exist a free to access, (YouTube), animated reading of the story.



Although this is of course helpful for children learning to read in their own language it is essential for leaming to read and speak a foreign language correctly.
