Book excerpt: Hop up, put on your seat belt, flip on the emergency lights, turn the siren knob to yelp and get ready for an adventure that began in the fall of 1975. As the Beacon Turns is a book that was originally written in the minds of those who experience the world of EMS--Emergency Medical Service--during its earlier days in the mid 1970's when the door of this profession read, "No girls allowed! Keep out!" It is based on true events and real people who pioneered the profession long before the title of hero was awarded. For these young men and one young woman, who somehow braved working with these cowboys, it is a career in the making; one that they loved so much they would have done it for free and practically did. Filled with real emergency calls and unbelieveable antics of comic relief, the book As the Beacon Turns uncovers a true depiction of this journey in an unprecedented way. Toned down to a PG-13 rating, the book reveals the vast variations of personalities and the backgrounds of the people who, throughout the course of living out these events, echoed the words, "Someone should write a book!" This wonderful tale begins with a young woman named Angela Naomi Gates, the daughter of missionaries, raised by her aunt and uncle on a farm in Michigan; then introduces many other characters and partners. You'll meet one such partner, Dan, whose pride and joy is his Captain America van, who is a connoisseur of women's legs and a huge fan of Muppets. You will also have the dubious pleasure of encountering a street dweller known as Cat Man. Then, before you know it, you'll be riding in the front seat or in the patient compartment of an ambulance and will see how if feels to deliver a baby, what's needed to treat a multiple casualty patient and what to do in many other situations. Learn what went on in the heart and mind of these emergency responders. What did they do in their spare time and how did they interact with area municipalities and the staff at surrounding medical facilities? As the Beacon Turns is written with a refreshing spirit and a bit of sass ending with Angela beating the odds of being the first female in the area to join and remain in this profession. She has faced the challenges well and has won the support of those around her. What readers are saying: Nita, I just finished reading your wonderful story.....what a creative writer you are...such an accomplishment....you should be very proud as I am sure you are.... I just loved how q chapter reflected what was going on in the world at that time...put a time frame on things so the reader (me) could put an image in my mind as to where I was and what was going on at that time.... But what a surprise to me how well you handled and responded to those "boys" during that period....I just know that my response would have been very different. I would have "given up" I am sure. or gotten really mean and even!!! I just loved hearing about Aunt Ruth and Uncle Henry....:) I am going to re-read this book and will probably email u after each chapter...with questions!!! lol lol Vicki US Registration: WGA#921486, Library of Congress #TXu-1-029-817

Book excerpt: Set in the year 2225. For Torrin of Red Ridge, the journey to leadership and manhood begins at age 25. No longer will he be a watcher on the lookout ridge, seraching the warning beacons for signs of war. He will learn the secrets hidden deep within his mountain home of Monte Cristo. Secrets even his own mother has held from him. But his best friend Sherman will be there for him, just as he always has. Torrin's journey begins east, to the very fringes of his own wilderness. Deep in a northwest forest, an ancient world is revealed to the young leader - a world of power and strength in the form of a man. What he learns from his father, however, he can share with no others. No one must know of the forest dwellers. Friendships are rekindled as five young adults revisit their past. A past of childhood pranks, and laughter, hard work and training. They seek answers of the America they read about, and the Oil Wars that changed everything. Youth may have grown to adulthood, but a bond of courage has formed that will remain unbreakable. The great Dome in the mountains has also begun a journey. For 200 years it lay silent and menacing, well protected by the Red Ridge people. But silent it will be no more. Its slow rise from the earth has shattered the quiet, well-blended community. Peace and laughter has reigned for more than a hundred years in the Robe Valley. But the thunder of evil looms on the horizon. The forgotten Dome in the Cascade Mountains has been remembered once again. Red Ridge must transform themselves from mountain people to hardened warriors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 is known in NATO circles as the ¿Fishbed¿. Designed as a Mach 2.0 interceptor, the plane holds the distinction of being produced in greater numbers than any other jet aircraft. The Fishbed flew in combat in Vietnam, where it held its own against the F-105 Thunderchief. During the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, 17 Israeli aircraft were shot down, for a loss of six Egyptian MiG-21s. The plane also flew in combat in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and in Yugoslavia. Today, over 28 of the world¿s air forces continue to fly MiG-21s. Originally printed by NATO, this English-language handbook provides a glimpse inside the cockpit of this incredible plane. The manual was recently declassified and is here reprinted in book form.
