The Cardiff Giant, set in Cooperstown, New York, has up its novelistic sleeve Puck's profound declaration, "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" Jess Freeman, investigative reporter, arrives on the scene to look into the weird disappearance from the Farmers' Museum of a huge human figure. He had been unearthed in the late nineteenth century near Cardiff, New York. Jess confronts locals and outsiders who all have a theory, including that the giant has been reanimated and is lurching throughout the community. They are enmeshed in self-punishing belief systems such as alien abduction, astrology, kabbalistic numerology, New Age rebirthing, and religious dogmas reduced to literal absurdities. The fast-paced action centers around episodes where they pay a sorry price for their beliefs. But skeptics don't fare much better, susceptible as they are to mental disorders that show the faculty of reason is fragile indeed. These characters group and regroup, with romance always on their minds, and finally come to recognitions at once surprising and moving.

As much as Christians or believers of God would like to believe that, just because we acknowledge God in our lives, we should never have any sorrow. That is untrue. Just believing this makes us commit sin because then we are not humble, but haughty. We will all have challenges, disappointments, and unfair situations arise in our lives, but as believers of God, we are to handle ourselves so that unbelievers will want to become like us. We are to TRUST, HAVE FAITH, and BELIEVE that GOD has our back and will keep us lifted above, fight our battles, and always cause us to Triumph!

Synopsis Hertell Daggett is not what he used to be: he’d once been married, he’d once been a physicist, and he’d once been shot in the head in a New Year’s Eve accident. Or possibly the 4th of July, he could never quite remember. The doctors got most of the bullet out, but a few microscopic specks of copper remained floating inside his brain, connecting parts that are no longer connected in the rest of us, filaments of species memory going back to the beginning of time. He knew how animals thought and remembered the singing of dinosaurs, and the dry humor of mastodons, and the rubbery smell of trilobites. He’d once had a future, but he lived now on the outskirts of Bakersfield, California, a damaged caretaker of a run down, failing pet cemetery. And he’s been hearing something. While Hertell seeks the source of the mysterious sound, a deputy sheriff visiting the grave of his police dog suspects that the pet cemetery is a front for a large-scale meth lab and begins surveillance. The sounds he’s been hearing lead Hertell to an epic discovery when he unearths a time-capsule, actually more of a vast, sprawling time-cavern full of people, many hundreds of them. They’ve been living beneath the pet cemetery since 1963 as part of a long-forgotten Government program to preserve Western civilization in the charred aftermath of a massive nuclear war, presumably triggered by the assassination of President Kennedy – at least that’s what their computer simulation predicted. Hertell informs the time-capsule population that the world did not end in 1963 but in fact had been wobbling on ever since and leads them to the surface where they are immediately descended upon by helicopters, SWAT teams, and drug-sniffing dogs as part of a massive (but mistaken) drug bust. The embarrassing mistake is televised, YouTubed, and streamed for the world to see. Hertell’s duck-and-cover civilization is initially embraced and celebrated by the modern world – their music, their innocence, their purpose, the miracle of their very existence. And Hertell takes it upon himself to be their protector and shepherd, to lead them gently and lovingly (in stylish casual attire of the early ‘60s) into the astounding, mystifying, and often dismaying modern world. They are his children. They are like one of those lost tribes that stumble out of the Amazonian jungle into civilization, only this time it isn’t the primitives who are overwhelmed by civilization, but very much the other way around, and they will pay for it. Not only do the technologies that allowed them to live happily beneath the surface disrupt the global economy, they also reveal themselves to be unimpressed and indifferent to the machinery of contemporary Government. They’d lived for the past 50 years in complete isolation, and had absolutely no need for it, and specifically no dependency on it. It is simply not part of their lives and they are totally outside its control and the control of basically everybody, everybody but themselves, and that cannot be tolerated. They are denounced as a dangerous, extremist cult and attacked with the full force of the benevolent state. Hertell saves his duck-and-cover civilization, and in the process finds a love he never quite lost and a future he never quite imagined.

The day democracy was assaulted...Protesters at the President’s rally morph into a mob that storms the Capitol, right-wing extremists in their midst.

The President, in election denial, weighs declaring martial law to quell the violence – and justify refusing to leave office. Will we again face insurrection?

It didn't happen... but it could have!" - John Dinges, author of The Condor Wars The prestigious Midwest Book Review "unreservedly" recommends January 6: A Novel "to community and college/university library collections" and calls it "essential reading for those with interest, in politics, terrorism, freedom..."

Shelby is a young flying squirrel who lives with his mother and his twin sister, Darby. This series of adventures includes necessary lessons for skills the young ones will need as adults, and endless fun and excitement as Shelby explores the world around him. Shelby hiccups and stutters when he is upset or nervous, trouble finds him much too easily, and growing up is not what he wants to do. The forest provides him with many good friends, but when their beloved meadow is changed forever they all move to the woods beside a farm, where Shelby meets and learns about farm animals; a whole new experience. The stories relate loosely to the realities of wild flying squirrels, but liberal poetic licence allows much more to happen. SHELBY F.

From best selling, multi-award winning author Donna Louis, Thriving in Every Season of Life with God gives us a road map to create a mindset - a new life in which we can learn to prosper in any circumstance. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. To understand what it means to "thrive," we must look beyond the dimension of finances. The concept of thriving can be applied to our health, our relationships, our habits and our peace of mind. God wants us to thrive. But it does not just happen - we must take action to make it happen. For everything there is a season. Set against the backdrop of four "seasons of life", Louis, in the tradition of writers such as Joel Osteen, discusses how you can thrive, prosper, and flourish. Much like growing crops, we prepare in spring, grow in summer, harvest in fall and rest in winter. At times we must nurture and cultivate, at other times we bloom and reproduce, and at other times we harvest and replant. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God is
