A Doctor a Day is a novel about one physician and the physical, emotional and psychological toll of his dedication. He's a good doctor with ten years of unrelenting care for dying patients and their families. The pressure becomes unbearable when he is sued for malpractice, leading him to consider suicide as the only escape. Though the story is fictional, it reflects the all too common, real-life issues faced by practicing physicians in today's world.Why did I write this novel?My major goal was to provide insight into the mind of a physician by following the main character, Dr. Luke James, through his tenth year of medical practice. You become privy to his challenges and fears, unmasking the psychological burden he endures. It serves as an example of what many of today's physicians experience during their careers and how some can be driven to extremes.In the real world, an air of medical infallibility is still the prerequisite to instilling patient confidence. This expectation presents an unrealistic, psychologically exhausting burden ultimately damaging to doctors and patients alike. It might help explain why the physician suicide rate is fifty percent greater than the general population. Even worse, the mental health support systems designed to help physicians are severely lacking.This leads to the all-important question-especially critical given our continual demand for good medical care-Who heals our healers?

Federal Prosecutor Jeff Trask moves to Kansas City to combat the Mafia and a nationwide drug-smuggling ring that is trafficking in the deadly concoction of fentanyl-laced heroin. Joining forces with a team of police detectives and FBI agents, Trask enters a deadly world where crime businesses operate with their own sets of merciless rules. For members of the Kansas City Mob, those rules are violated only by those willing to risk-or to inflict-death. In the meantime, Trask has to balance the extreme demands of his caseload with an impending tragedy on his home front. Matching wits with a criminal mastermind who is willing to violate the laws of both the civilized world and the ruthless Mafia, Jeff Trask is forced to call upon all of his genius and the assistance of his team to bring this Mafia kingpin to the fate he deserves.Author Marc Rainer once again blends professional and personal events from over thirty years of military and federal prosecution experience to create a compelling story of crime fiction hailed by professionals in the field for its realism, and by readers for its sheer entertainment value.

I found myself single. Then I followed the classic four-step break up protocol:¿Unfriend.Unfollow.Untag.Uncork.¿I wrote (& drank) my way through that first heartbreak, as I did with every mistake, headache, & heartache thereafter. And so, with wit & a wee bit of wine Korkscrewed was created.Whatever your relationship status, this book is for you.It's for those of us who at one point in time have had the wrong taste in men, but always the right taste in cocktails and wine. Perhaps you had your heart broken and you're lying in your bed of self-pity, feeling more useless than the "T" in pinot. Maybe you're the heartbreaker and - like a bull in a china shop - have shattered hearts like wine glasses and left men to pick up the pieces. Or you're in the wrong relationship, where that once strong connection has slowly grown weaker than public transit WiFi.Korkscrewed: The Cocktail Confessions of a Modern Dating Girl, is a series of dating revelations, anecdotes and awkward encounters that I have collected in my humble twenty-six years. Enclosed are the perfect cocktail pairings that have made each chapter of my dating life all the more bearable. These chapters were written in every stage of the dating game. From that first tipsy typing session to the published pages you're reading now, I have dated some "nuts," kissed some "flakes," and been convinced (once or twice) that I'd found my "prize."So I apologize, dear reader, if you have picked up this book in false-hope that these Pepto-pink pages will cure your dating nausea. If anything, this book will only cause a hangover.

Digging deep into the intriguing past of football, Cadets, Cannons, and Legends: The Football History of Morgan Park Military Academy takes the reader back to a time when game travel was via train and horse-drawn carts and reporters from the major Chicago newspapers eagerly covered this violent, new sport. With professional football nowhere in sight, high school and college gridiron exploits captured the interest of local readers in the early part of the 20th century. With rare vintage photos, exhaustive research, and numerous personal interviews, author Joe Ziemba details the fascinating history of the Academy football program from its beginnings in 1893 through its final season as Morgan Park Military Academy in 1958. Brutal line play, travel challenges, wacky rivalries, and wildly supportive fan bases are all vividly captured in this glimpse into football's often inglorious past.Although it has been decades since tiny Morgan Park Military Academy last fielded a football team, the influence of its gridiron program cannot be disregarded. This remarkable school on Chicago's south side completed twelve undefeated seasons, sent four representatives to the College Football Hall of Fame, and often experienced difficulty scheduling games due to the powerful teams it sent out on the field. Yet, it rarely enrolled more than 200 students in its high school curriculum!Cadets, Cannons, and Legends provides new insight into the early days of high school football and recognizes the forgotten pioneers of what is now America's favorite spectator sport. This fascinating book is not merely a journey into the gridiron history of Morgan Park Military Academy, but rather, it ushers us down to a front row seat where we can closely observe the roots of football itself.
