Book excerpt: Forged in conflict, the United States of America has been at war in one form or another for over two hundred years, and at peace for just seventeen. Within seventy-eight mostly undeclared wars, over a million souls have sadly perished. In a historical anthology, novelist Max Blue shares forty-nine chapters from his twelve published novels set against the backdrop of Americas wars. Divided into six parts, Blues stories detail diverse battles that include World War I; the economic war of the Great Depression; World War II; the Civil Rights War, Korean War, and Cold War; academic wars; and the ongoing drug wars that still plague America today. His fascinating tales share a glimpse into a time when President Woodrow Wilson reluctantly led his country into a genocidal European war, thousands of World War I veterans desperately sought ways to survive and feed their families, ships were torpedoed in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and North Korean troops crossed the thirty-eighth parallel to invade South Korea. Wild Blue Ponders shares a diverse collection of short tales extracted from the works of an American novelist that detail the effects and aftermath of war through the eyes of fictional characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1950s, German philosopher Martin Heidegger proclaimed the Austrian expressionist Georg Trakl to be the poet of his generation and of the hidden Occident. Trakl, a guilt-ridden lyricist who died of a cocaine overdose in the early days of World War I, thus became for Heidegger a redemptive successor to Hölderlin. Drawing on Derrida's Geschlecht series and substantial archival research, Dialogue on the Threshold explores the productive and problematic tensions that pervade Heidegger's reading of Trakl and reflects more broadly on the thresholds that separate philosophy from poetry, gathering from dispersion, the same from the other, and the native from the foreigner. Ian Alexander Moore examines why Heidegger was reluctant to follow Trakl's invitation to cross these thresholds, even though his encounter with the poet did compel him to take up, in astounding ways, many underrepresented topics in his philosophical corpus such as sexual difference, pain, animality, and Christianity. A contribution not just to Heidegger and Trakl studies but also, more modestly, to the old quarrel between philosophy and poetry, Dialogue on the Threshold concludes with new translations of eighteen poems by Trakl.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I returned to the same respiratory therapist for my annual checkup. I told her that her words to me, ‘You look good for your age,’ had inspired a book. ‘Wow!’ she said. ‘You wrote a whole book about that?’ ‘Twenty-nine kick-ass writers wrote it,’ I said. She gave me a thumbs up.” From the Preface This is a book about women and ageism. There are twenty-nine contributing writers, ranging in age from their forties to their nineties. Through essays, short stories, and poetry, they share their distinct opinions, impressions, and speculations on aging and ageism and their own growth as people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Vanishing Point, award winning journalist and author Tom Wilber pieces together the largely forgotten story of the bomber, Getaway Gertie, and an eclectic group of enthusiasts who have spent years searching for it. At the height of World War II, a B-24 Liberator bomber vanished with its crew while on a training mission over upstate New York. The final hours and ultimate resting place of pilot Keith Ponder and seven other US aviators aboard the plane remain mysteries to this day. The tale is at once a compelling instance of loss on the World War II American home front and a more extensive, largely unreported history. Ponder–a 21-year-old from rural Mississippi–and his crew were tragically unexceptional casualties in the monumental effort to recruit and train an air force en masse to counter the global conquest of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. More than fifteen thousand American airmen and, in some cases, women burned, crashed, or fell to their deaths in stateside training accidents during the war–their lives and stories shuffled away in piles of Air Force bureaucracy. The forgotten story of Getaway Gertie was originally inspired by summer evenings around the campfire on the shores of Lake Ontario, where parts of the plane have washed up. Building on those campfire tales, Wilber deftly connects myth with fact and memory with historicity. The result is a vivid portrait of the forgotten soldier of the home front and a new take on the meaning of wartime sacrifice as the last survivors of the Greatest Generation pass away.

In this story it has been discovered that Silkworms can be transformed into humans and the current population around the globe is growing – you’ll be amazed by Silkies’.

Scientific experiments in DNA mutations occur. Social, economic, climatic, gender related living conditions for humans and its fellow creatures that share this planet are continuously unearthed in the storylines. Planetary galactic observations are clarified to discover a new living planet. Competitive survival activities happen amongst its characters of the story as they go about their lives. An e-sports game of existence gradually evolves in being, for ‘Silkhysteria’. You’re about to be transported on a journey into the future beyond the year 2050. New inventions come to life in communications, transportation, entertainments and living on another planet, in another galaxy. A global company WeaverSpinner Enterprises operates out of China.

He’s also an ex-lover of Catarina. Baz has befriended Catarina and she loves him, but is afraid to let on or let go of Weaver. Catarina plays them off and will take either winner in her game of life. Actions mainly take place in countries such as China, Korea, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Mongolia. A vision of Weaver’s beginning in China concludes in the Gobi desert with the help of Nomads. The establishment of a space centre in the Gobi, galactic journeys and living becoming a reality breathes new hopes for all. Love stories? Of course there are. It’s what humans do. And now do some Silkies’, it seems! People will read the lines of words, imagine between them and picture themselves on the Mothetic fantasy journey, that is ‘Silkhysteria’. I hope it creates waves of thoughts for you.

Book excerpt: “Alas, the pictured girl Was swimming in my tears She was a soulmate lost About a hundred years” “But I had faith That butterfly wings When given time Whip up great things” Some of the best poetry is marinated in the stew of tragedy and time. Distance gives us a useful perspective. Terry Tatum was a child of the 20th century. His poetry is largely inspired by his own memories of this unique and complicated time in America. Nevertheless, this first anthology of short poems is a timeless encapsulation of themes of loss, conflict, cultural reflection and criticism, environmentalism, childhood idealism and restitution. For the present age, these poems are still relevant. For the fortunate reader, this rich and varied collection of short poems is likely to become iconic and unforgettable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, surrender, and service to all life are the central themes in Fran Blackwell's poetry. These themes manifest stylistically from humor to ecstasy. She turns mystery into insight with one carefully produced phrase. The subject of her poetry is Life, and each poem is like a song from the experiences of Soul. With infinite patience and acceptance, she examines the experiences of her own life and delivers the inner wisdom she gains from this examination into common language. She shares her spiritual inheritance unselfishly, honestly, and joyously. Like the works of Rumi, Fran's poetry reaches beyond religion, culture, and time. It speaks to all who have the ears to hear and the vision to see the uncommon beauty and insight that manifests in her words. A dream poetry class with Rumi was the inspiration for these poems, which were written over a period of three years. The author's lifelong quest to know truth and God, no matter the cost, has been a road filled with experiences of love, pain, joy and profound opportunities to know the ways of Divine Spirit through the Beloved Master. It has been an exhilarating journey that continues to lead her to higher truths as she explores the inner worlds of the Divine. The relentless inspiration of Spirit has resulted in these poems, in which she tries to express in words the truth of the eternal nature of Soul. It is her passion to share this with all who walk the path of their spiritual journey.

Book excerpt: What's "The Scoop on Ruth"? When you open the book you will enter my world and discover what I have been about. It is a tell all, an honest revelation. That world begins with "All in the Family' and the people and events where growing up happens. In "Sense and Nun-sense" you will be privy to some events even to this day hidden from Sister Superior- like "The Chocolate Cover-Up". Then "Along the Way" there are defining moments and people that ultimately influence us to become who we are.Yes, even when a good Catholic girl flunks Communion. The final section "The 'P' Source" began in the novitiate when no talent me was encouraged to write "gospels". My creative pen found other modes of expression, into writing prayers, greetings, or capturing events. And, there is room for your story to come alive here. It's because I was a copy cat. I borrowed Jesus' style. So, if the parable fits....
