In December 1996, I found that I had Stage 4 colon cancer. It was my Christmas gift. The cancer had spread to both lobes of the liver and I was given only four to six months to live … closer to four. I didn't want to die. I had just turned sixty-eight years old and I was afraid. There was so much that I needed to do and certainly death, right then, was not one of them. It took me a while to develop a plan and I would learn that some of whether we live is up to us. From my point of view, we need to create strategies to augment medical treatment. We must fill our life with verbs rather than adjectives. It all began shortly before Christmas, twenty-one years ago. This is my story, and I am hopeful that some of my strategies will help others.

In A Bride for Hamlet, author Tom Grifa draws characters from eight different Shakespearean plays to engage his audiences in "having fun with Shakespeare."What would Hamlet's life be like if Claudius had not murdered Hamlet's father, yet still seduced and married his mother? This comedic drama parodies Shakespeare's Hamlet by having the Prince forced to choose a bride whose royalty and wealth will merge with Denmark's to make Hamlet's country a power once again. Hamlet's dilemma is two-fold: he does not want to marry so soon after his father's death; nor does he wish to marry someone whom he does not know or love. Polonius sets up interviews with five women, all of whom were in other Shakespearean dramas. The plot thickens as the treachery begins.

Stop Bullying Because It's Wrong is relevant today because each year, bullying is on the rise. Few people want to talk about the subject as if it is taboo. Lydia Greico, the author, was bullied herself in elementary school, as well as in the neighborhood in which she grew up. She feels that bullying is wrong, especially for the victim. Childhood bullies get away with their behavior because parents either don't see it or are in denial. Bullying is on the rise all over the world. It has to stop. How are we able to make America great again with this kind of behavior? Our president can only do so much. It is up to us to do our part too. Parents need to pay more attention to what their children are doing and what is being done to their children. This book had been written as a teaching tool. Lydia Greico has a Masters' degree in occupational studies and is licensed as a psychiatric technician. Psychiatric technicians advocate for people who cannot advocate for themselves. Ms. Greico is now retired from this profession, but she still advocates for those who need it. Lydia Greico has authored two other books and articles on different subjects. She earned her MA degree from California State University at Long Beach in 2006. It is the author's hope that someone will learn from Stop Bullying Because Its Wrong and aid in her campaign against bullying. Without bullying, we can make our children safer and decrease suicides that are the result of this type of treatment. May God bless all the children who were bullied so bad that they saw no other way out but to commit suicide.

The first part of the story explains how Virgil's ancestors from Europe all arrived at that small region called Woodland, Indiana. Emphasis is on what was going on in that part of each one's world to cause them to migrate to this country and eventually to that spot in Indiana. Wars, religious intolerance, and decisions by the various kings or queens were the driving forces that caused so many to leave their homelands and look for better conditions. Life on a farm during the Great Depression and World War II is described in some detail. The emotional devastation upon learning of the deaths of two brothers in that war took a heavy toll on the Mochel Family.The second part deals with the many varied experiences of Virgil and Marian as they traveled their life-journey together, up to the present time.

A harrowing year of Southeast Asia behind him, Ernest Michelle Deslatte reports to his new duty station at The Federal Republic of Germany. The soldier from the Acadiana region of Louisiana arrives suffering the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a malady considered of little significance in 1970 and one borne by veterans of the Vietnam War as the price of having survived.

Two young West German women, Monica Ingles and Helena Wald, take interest in him. They introduce him to their society and develop emotional ties to the romantic and mischievous Cajun soldier. They also draw him deep into their world of dangerous, political ideological intrigue. ATA: O.G. Diaz emigrated as a child from the Central American nation of Honduras.
