The American Dream : Cynthia McDonald
The American Dream: A True History Of All The United States’ People Book 1
While it may be true that there are many books in print about the history of the United States, it is my sincere belief that most of them are missing the complete history of this country.
After spending quite a bit of time talking to many people who were limited in their knowledge of the truth about many of the minorities in this country and their history here. I decided to research these stories myself, and what I found was even more shocking than what I thought I knew.
I spent the next several months digging deep and learning everything I could about the actual history of the United States. As much as I could, I wanted to be truthful, no matter how unattractive and even downright heinous that truth might be.
This is the beginning, the first chapter in a series of books about our country and every group of people that live in it. This first book tells the story about the United States from its inception through the Civil War.

No. 46 on the Greater Boston Hit List : Richard Murphy
No. 46 on the Greater Boston Hit List: A Murder Case with Many Twists and Turns
At age thirty-three I studied a murder case, which inspired this fictional story. I always thought it was an interesting and bizarre story and had all the ingredients for a good novel.
At age thirty-nine still playing pick-up basketball I ruptured a disk in the lower back and was advised by the doctor to lie flat on my back for several weeks. Bored out of my mind I started writing this book longhand while flat on my back.
When I recovered I had completed about fifty pages and friends who had read what I had written gave me a great encouragement and so I figured I’d resume writing the book the newt time my back went out.
Always meaning to complete the book I kept the files and news clippings despite many moves over the years. However, the next time I injured my back they no longer prescribed total bed rest, so I never got back to the book until 2018 at age eighty-one.
Now with a reverse shoulder replacement and Parkinson’s disease ruining my mediocre golf game I needed another passion so here I am as a beginning author. I liked doing it and if this book pleases some maybe I’ll try another one.
This novel is a quick read that tells about a murder which was first thought to be a gangland slaying but it became more complicated leading to a trial that produced unexpected results.
Tasting The Oyster : Alexandra Stowasser
Tasting The Oyster – How an ordinary woman became a covert agent
In 1982 the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, backed by the Australian government at the time, formed its first highly secret special covert operation group to support secret service operations overseas.
This team was to comprise entirely of highly trained civilians who still held a daily job as a cover.
The team was intended to be similar to UK’s Special Operations Executive that was formed during WW11 and was government deniable.
The team that trained intensely for just one year ended ingloriously during the notorious Melbourne Sheraton Hotel raid at the end of 1983 and then became the subject of a highly political Royal Commission into the activities of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service.
At just 25 years of age, Alexandra Stowasser, then Alexandra Dickie, was the only woman recruited to that team.
In Tasting The Oyster she relates the many paths from childhood to adulthood that led her to that fateful year of intense and often highly dangerous training and the challenge of leading a secret double life.

Does God Love The Wealthy More Than the Middle Class? : Dennis L Binder Jr
Does God Love The Wealthy More Than the Middle Class?
DOES GOD LOVE THE WEALTHY MORE THAN THE MIDDLE CLASS?…….examines how Excessive rates for ALL Taxpayers – harm the Middle Class & Working Poor thus creating ‘Trickle Down’ poverty, and is THE reason why the income gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow.
With approx. 25 million business owners currently in the U.S., and if each business hired an average of only 2 additional (new) employees, it would create at least 50 million new jobs (or more) and also generate a $900 billion budget surplus! But this potential could only be realized with LOW tax rates for EVERYONE. Permanent, reduced tax rates would also increase wages for American workers and create a long term capacity for eliminating the National Debt! The unlimited advantages of tax cuts are illustrated in this book in a ‘reader friendly’ format.
The following is one of many suggested proposals in this highly acclaimed ebook:
*
ELECTRONIC CONGRESS: American Citizens choosing ‘political candidates’ who WILL amend legislation with a ‘Peoples Referendum’ requiring All federal politicians/lawmakers – to actually live in the State/areas of the citizens they actually represent!
The best way to represent any group of people – is to live among them! Furthermore, these candidates will have a better understanding (similar to State politicians) of what it’s like to live in your corner of the World! In short: The American People should be the biggest & most influential lobbyists!
*
The above proposal if legislated, would eliminate 50% of America’s problems!
Author Dennis L Binder Jr, also analyzes a much needed imperative for repopulating Rural America. Enormous economic growth would be realized along with reduced overcrowding in America’s cities therefore, enabling reductions in congested traffic & auto accidents/fatalities, crime, unemployment/poverty, water shortages, air pollution etc. Discover how a growing Rural population would ‘necessitate’ Micro-farm expansion and increase organic food production. This obviously, would necessitate hungry citizens & and make America healthy thus, reducing the cost of health care. Consulting ‘The Supreme Wisdom & Knowledge of God’, is also a much needed asset.
DOES GOD LOVE THE WEALTHY MORE THAN THE MIDDLE CLASS?, is highly informative and a fascinating read for All!

Autism is a childhood condition … right? Not right. Children with autism grow into adults with autism.
The great strides we have made in understanding childhood autistic behaviors and interventions have lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics. What of the young adult trying to build relationships? What of the middle aged autistic adult who has been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and lacks an effective treatment plan? What of the aging adult who is showing increasingly rigid autistic behaviors and is misdiagnosed as having frontotemporal dementia?
Understanding Autism in Adults and Aging Adults is a one-of-a-kind resource designed to improve the correct diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in adults. Filled with clinical stories that bring to life the concepts discussed, the book provides strategy-based interventions to address issues of personal and household management, medical care, communication, sensory processing symptoms, and emotional and behavioral regulation.

Once There Was a Way : Bryce Zabel
Once There Was a Way: What if the Beatles Stayed Together
For nearly fifty years now, music fans have lived with the reality that the Beatles called it quits in 1970, never to play together again. Even now, when most of us hear a solo song from one of the ex-Beatles, there’s a wince of regret. What if John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr had taken that sad break-up song and made it better? It’s the greatest what-if in rock-and-roll history.
From Diversion Books, Audible.com and Stellar Productions comes the new novel Once There Was a Way: What if The Beatles Stayed Together? It’s a compelling, surprising and realistic account of how the Beatles might have saved their band from themselves, written by award-winning Hollywood writer/producer Bryce Zabel. His debut novel, Surrounded by Enemies: What if Kennedy Survived Dallas?, won the coveted Sidewise Award for Alternate History and launched the Breakpoint book series.
In Zabel’s journey across the universe of alternate history, the four Beatles try to work it out rather than let it be, only to create new and completely unforeseen problems and opportunities. Even as they try to resolve their personal and creative differences, John, Paul, George and Ringo continue to make history, live new adventures and write a soundtrack for more generations to come.
The action spans the globe from Woodstock to Nigeria, weaving the Beatles into new stories that involve both Nixon’s FBI and the radical Weather Underground. The who’s who of characters includes Hunter Thompson, Johnny Carson, Muhammad Ali, Linda Ronstadt, the Hell’s Angels, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ken Kesey, Stanley Kubrick and even Steve Jobs. And, of course, the hugely significant others; Linda, Yoko, Pattie and Maureen.
Imagine there was more. Lots more. It’s easy if you try.

The WorldReaver : S.J. Filiszar
The WorldReaver: And the Atlas of Infinity
The Veritus wizard is cursed with dreamless sleep. In return, they can harness great power without the need for written spells and writs as the vast majority require. When Jarek is forced into his first dream, it reveals to him that a terrible power was stolen from the past and is about to be unleashed to ravage human flesh and awaken three ancient human weapons that will thrust the world into a dark, magicless time of war and oppression—which lies just over the horizon.
Living in a time when natural magic has dissipated, it has begun to be produced in spellhouses for use by the general public. The Holy Order of the Crucian is a sect determined to fight the tide of magic’s rebirth by rending Spellhouses to dust and stripping the worlds wights of the ability to harness power those institutions emblazon onto parchment. As only the initial phase of their goals, they then plot to raise the worst of the Ancient Weapons, the WorldReaver, with which to achieve their goal: the creation of a magicless world they can enslave.
If they succeed, the Crucian will leave the world without magic to fight the other Weapons: the Disease Wroth, the Wicked Weapon and the Cannibal are rising into their world to bring on a war the likes of which have been unseen for millennia; the likes of which they cannot fight off; the likes of which Jarek must remedy by charge of his birthright. As the only one capable, it is his destiny to steady the wildly spinning downfall of humanity. To do this he needs the Atlas of Infinity: a phantom book said to write for its wielder a palpable depiction of events that he can alter.
But the book is said not to exist. Countless men have wasted away into madness in search of this imaginary tome. None have ever seen it; but while he finds the answers to his dreams, Jarek must find the book. Or those that are manipulating him may go unnoticed and succeed in their greater schemes implemented by the hand of an elusive puppeteer.
