In building our new nation we needed land, and a new set of principles that came to be known as Americanism. It had to be clearly and forcefully expressed that it might enter the minds of the people and become their law and their way of life.
Within these passages lies a tale of atonement. Punishment, though not without compassion, is entwined with interplanar wars of apocalyptic proportion by the stoic tutelage of Halo, the Paladin Lord. Trespassers of his tenets try to salvage their dignity, yet groomed in discipline and tact are those that have caused offense. Through a training course which tests the very fabric of the soul, the lines of alter-realities, and the paradox of time travel intermingle. Planar defenders attempt to sew the rifts between tradition and innovation. Intimate knowledge of trespasses and morality of the spirit realm lie as a foundation for the physicality. The deviations of reality are played out in a hallucination that questions science, sorcery, and sexuality.
What Love Looks Like Humans, dream. Big, strong dreams of the need to love and be loved. Fragments of these are scattered throughout the dreams of others. And although these hungers may occasionally sag, fly off, or lie dormant, few of us abandon the search for an essential connection, one which can occur between those of disparate ages, cultures, backgrounds. Or it may be a compelling attachment to a place, or purpose. This pursuit may evolve slowly. Or it might appear straightaway, without warning. Or, it may never succeed. Glitches arise to confound the quest - betrayal or disappointment, hesitation or denial. Each character in these stories is thrust from a seemingly uneventful existence into a reckoning of love that demands a life-altering decision. At the end, we are left with awakened insights which will return to our hearts time and again. Die with memories, not dreams, Andra WatkinsPeople change and forget to tell each other, Lillian Hellman

Northern Vermont, 1918. A year like no other ushered in by a brutal cold snap for much of New England, cruel winds in subfreezing temperatures imperiling scanty reserves of fuel. Meanwhile, the Great War raged on and millions of doughboys were answering the call for duty, including droves of underage enlistees. Even worse, a deadlier enemy reached American shores in the form of the Spanish flu. The virus struck fast and violently, some victims dying within hours of their first symptoms while others surviving only a few days. There was no cure. During this dark and dangerous time, teenage runaway Henry Cameron finds refuge in Vermont as a stable boy for a retired and war-weary cavalry lieutenant. As horses bring ambition and purpose into their lives, the two kindred spirits discover how they're more alike than not, and how their broken souls are mending as they forge a bond with each other. All of this takes time along with the saving grace that only the pure love of horses can provide. For all who have feared, grieved or felt alone, this tale of friendship and hope will pull at the heartstrings and arouse emotions long after the book is finished. It will burrow into the lives of those cursed by tragedy and help transport them from collapse to resilience, in the process creating acceptance, forgiveness, and peace.

Church family and holiday gatherings supposed to be used for building a beautiful strong relationship with family, in-laws, and relatives, but some decide to use holidays to create hidden closets right under someone's nose. Most people try representing themselves as honest, loving, and trustworthy people without leaving a mark that everyone can acknowledge and say, "e;You're not an angel of light."e;Being in the church ministry holds a powerful image in most communities, but it can also become a very weak image in society when secret hidden closets become known among the eyes of people. In this story, you will see a young minister takes his determination for success in a way that right and wrong doesn't matter.Most people become different characters in life to have their own personal success, while others will become different characters for pleasure and power and become very deceitful. In this story, you will see that some people become make-believe characters. Having two lives is one way to characterize individual characters, such as having a high position in the church ministry and a hidden relationship that would defile his character just to gain power and success. Misrepresentation is not always a success even if it is fun.

Reflections by Dr. Sofija Grandakovska, Professor, CUNY, on the book Remembrances and Other ObservationsThis book, first and foremost, is committed to the importance of remembering the past and its careful preservation at the gates of oblivion. The importance is emphasized in plural form: "e;remembrances."e; It is not one story; it is more than fifty varied short stories. The author recognizes the multilayered and polyvalent existence of remembering. It is personal and collective. It is mythical, genealogical, literary, historical, and anthropological. Short stories were written as prose poems. Although we cannot qualify these prose forms as typical short stories in a literary genre context, they qualify as short stories because they each reflect an event, history, and truth about the overarching event: the Holocaust. The author, don david Calderon y. Aroesty, chooses poetic prose to guide the readers through the tragic dimensions of the Holocaust by cherry-picking some exceptional heroes, heroines, and gratifying events through the duality of poetry and prose without solid metrical patterns but with rhythmic moderation of poetic expression. Remembrances come alive as a coherent and legitimate whole. No description of the criminality, suffering, and sadness would ever be sufficient. The author does not forget the bleakness and the horrors while challenging all of us to remember the shining lights, the occasional rays of human sunshine, extraordinary courage, and amazing bravery exhibited by some.The hybrid linguistic form becomes clear and legitimate, highlighted at the very beginning of the volume in the qualifications section where he asks the question and expresses his suspicion: How dare me, dare to write about the Holocaust? Who am I?The first philosophical question, which he answers with a dare to all of us to each undertake to study, learn, and write about the Holocaust. This is where the message of the book is strongly positioned. It is a message of deep humanistic, anthropological, and historical significance.Dr. Grandakovska teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Department of Anthropology where her areas of specialization are comparative literature and interdisciplinary studies in the Holocaust and Jewish history. She served as one of the advisers to the author's book of remembrances.
