Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is a mysterious combination of images, sounds, reflections prompted by reader and writer, a rhythm of thoughts conveyed in expressive phrases to convey subtle or blunt messages. Poetry is a challenge to the uninitiated and a rewarding experience to those who revel in imagination. Times change. Some disparage the simple rhyme. Yet the sing-song effort of positioning image with image tickles the imagination, spurs the memory, and prompts recollections of other times and other feelings. Rhyming, when forced, results in cheap efforts to create images or phrases based on convention. Words that result in confusion fail in that the reader misses the intended thought. Ballads, odes, songs, sonnets, elegies, epigrams, epitaphs, inscriptions, and autographs come into their own in their own times and days. Many linger and stand true through the ages. Flawed artistic forms fall short to dismay their observers by lack of substance, or perhaps even by lack of convention. No claim is made here that any of the following will linger through time unscathed or even remembered. Some may be challenged by their lack of substance. A few, perhaps, will strike a convergent point of identity and be accepted for what they are: observations by one recalling points in time.

Book excerpt: A fundamentalist Islamic army is on the march in the Middle East, and the fight to stop the spread of madness will take everything the American military can muster, in this novel from the author of The Red Line. Two months ago, a new leader arose in the Islamic world, the Mahdi—or the Chosen One. He has rallied fundamentalist Muslim forces across the Middle East who have driven deep into Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Standing against them is an allied force made up primarily of the American military. It's a desperate fight. From armored battles in the desert to American carriers desperately dodging waves of cruise missiles, the Mahdi proves to have many tricks up his sleeve. Marine Lieutenant Sam Erickson is in the thick of the fighting. He and his company have fought their way from a landing on the Mediterranean shore to the outskirts of Cairo. Now he finds himself at a critical juncture, but can he make the sacrifices necessary for the greater good?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Known as "The Emerald City," Dallas has its own rich heritage peculiar to its founding on the prairies and the Trinity River, and editor Frances Brannen Vick has collected a cornucopia of all things Big D in Literary Dallas, the third in TCD Press' "literary cities" series." "When Vick came here almost thirty years ago, she discovered a city of contrasts - Southern roots mixed with the entrepreneurial spirit, refined by all manner of the arts. Vick draws on her long publishing career to assemble the work of Dallas' finest writers who look at the city's history, its arts, commerce and personalities." "There is C. C. Slaughter who helped make Dallas a banking center; John Rosenfield, who made his city a haven for performing arts; Evelyn Oppenheimer, who made her career reviewing books; not to mention Frank X. Tolbert, both Chili King and writer. Natalie Ornish writes of the merchants who made Dallas a city where haute couture is comme il faut, but, where, as Prudence Macintosh avers, it is also possible to live a perfectly happy life and never wear a ball gown." "The purveyors of culture supported a new university - Southern Methodist - and the library, museums, opera, and theater at the same time that Spencer Williams was making movies for African-American audiences in South Dallas, and Deep Ellum was singing the blues, exploring the beginnings of jazz and Big Bands." "The city even had its share of gunslingers, two of them legendary women - Belle Starr and Bonnie Packer - as well as other unsavory characters, like Toy Woolley who shot his wife with the gun later used in the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde." "Historians and journalists have interpreted the city for generations, and you will find A. C. Greene, Bob Compton, Stanley Walker, Bryan Woolley, Kent Biffle, Paul Crume and Jay Milner, among others." "The pivotal event in Dallas was the Kennedy assassination, and Vick researched the journalists, writers, poets and observers who tackled this subject, including Hugh Ayneswonh, Jim Lehrer, Stephen Michaud, Darwin Payne, Bud Shrake, Wes Wise, Bryan Woolley, and Lawrence Wright, to name a few." "Fiction set in Dallas has been wide and deep. Authors, like Tracy Daugherty, Ed Garcia. Caroline Rose Hunt, Clay Reynolds. C. W. Smirh, Pat Ellis Taylor, Marsh Terry. and Jane Roberts Wood, explore various backdrops, and from a Catholic church to an English manor to local bars - and all the places in between - Dallas is covered."--BOOK JACKET.
