Download or read book WARNING I Published with a Scam Publishing Company written by Peggy Jo Henry and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book is a collection of short stories and poems with a twist. These are the facts about my unique book. It is a puzzle, controversial, confusing, short, helpful, collectable, and I’m not famous. You will find no other book like this in the world. Most stories are serious. The subjects I cover are my suicide attempt where I tried to take the lives of my children with me, scamming schemes that affect innocent people, my thoughts on saving the environment, anger toward children, war, personnel space with criminal intent, addictions, obsessions, and my mental illness with psychosis experiences. For the title of my book, I go into detail on being scammed by a publishing company that preys on self-publishing authors. How I was scammed and what I did to fight back. A sentence in my book, “Communication in a non-confrontational manner promotes learning.” I hope I cover these topics in a non-confrontational manner so you, the reader, won’t get offended. Just helpful topics of interest that may or may not pertain to you or someone you know. I give detailed information on my life, so I put it out there. I know I’m not an expert. I’m just an average person that can publish my thoughts in an interesting way. Communication, how do I convey popular subjects to you in a way that can be interesting and at the same time entertaining? The twist is a game, and it’s not like any other. Let’s say you are interested in the entertainment business and like to watch and listen to a wide variety of movies and songs with brain games. I have movie and song titles throughout the text that happen to pop up in everyday language that you can find. There are more than a thousand. You’re probably wondering about the movie and song titles. Are they legally used in this fashion? Yes, they are. Take for instance the name Paul. "Paul" is a movie about an alien. I can mention this movie because it is not located in my book. Also, titles, names, short phrases, expressions, and ideas are not protected by copyright laws. Another part of the game is I have eight similarities with a popular Oscar nominated actor. The similarities intertwine with my book, so you can tie our lives together with. Does it make him a soulmate? I use these similarities to help you find out who he is. I have added twenty-three clues to help you get to know him and see his interests and accomplishments. That makes thirty-one clues in all which makes it downright fun. Who is the actor? You’d be surprised. Who wants to know more about an actor they admire? Are you a Sherlock or entertainment sleuth? You can play at airports, coffee houses, or appointments. Do you have to wait then you have time. Are you entertainment savvy to play the game? You can play on your smartphone, computer, or tablet. You can play with family and friends to see who can find the most titles. Have a positive day and happy hunting.

Download or read book Toward Byzantium written by James W. Swanson and published by AbbottPress. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the story begins, Jason Wessman, seated in a hospital waiting room in Seattle, is about to visit his deathly ill cousin and alter ego, Jonah Cannard, from whom he has been estranged. The story involves the two cousins and a neighbor, Wes Jonnamass, who often serves as a counterpoint to the other two. Jasons presence at the hospital is due both to Wes and to a fourth man, Noah, Jasons brother seven years younger, who has encouraged Jason to reunite with the man whom he has loved but disapproved of for several years. From boys to men each in his own way voyages toward an illusive Byzantium. The author offers vignettes of each man, sailing together and alone, upon a similar sea, at times meeting, at times nearly lost. He shows the reader their impish boyhood adventures, their search for love and meaning, their choices that threaten their ships, and the discoveries that sail them into calm seas. In particular, Jason questions his former judgments. Through Noahs remarkable intervention and the strange circumstances surrounding Jonahs painting Sailing to Byzantium, he comes to understand the choices he and his fellow voyagers have made and the forgiveness, compassion and love among them. Praise for Toward Byzantium The choice of words, the rhythm of the words, the images the words stimulate, the structure of the sentences, the flow of the paragraphs, the progression of the chapters, the development of the themessimply superb. Toward Byzantium is a novel about lifes journeys, conducted in the company of loved ones and strangers, headed for some destination (Byzantium) that for most of our lives is cloaked in heavy fog, clouding our vision. Jim Geiwitz, author of Town of Watered Down Whiskey

Download or read book Jonah written by Rhiannon Graybill and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative translation and commentary on the book of Jonah by a trio of award-winning scholars The book of Jonah, which tells the outlandish story of a disobedient prophet swallowed by a great fish, is one of the Bible's best-known narratives. This tale has fascinated readers for millennia and has inspired countless interpretations. This commentary features a new translation of Jonah as well as an introduction outlining the major interpretive issues in the text. The introduction traces the composition history of the book, paying special attention to the psalm in the second chapter; and the authors explore new theories surrounding the time and place where Jonah delivers his message to Nineveh, as well as the city's act of repentance. In addition to these features, this volume draws on a variety of critical approaches to biblical literature--including affect theory, animal studies, performance criticism, postcolonial criticism, psychological criticism, spatial theory, and trauma theory--to reveal the book's many interpretive possibilities. An updated treatment of Jonah's reception history includes analyses of the story in religious traditions, art and literature, and popular culture.

Book excerpt: Laurie Morrison’s Keeping Pace is a poignant middle-grade novel about friends-turned-rivals training for a half-marathon—and rethinking what it means to win and what they mean to each other. Grace has been working for years to beat her former friend Jonah Perkins’s GPA so she can be named top scholar of the eighth grade. But when Jonah beats her for the title, it feels like none of Grace’s academic accomplishments have really mattered. They weren’t enough to win—or to impress her dad. And then the wide, empty summer looms. With nothing planned and no more goals or checklists, she doesn’t know what she’s supposed to be working toward. Eager for something to occupy her days, Grace signs up for a half-marathon race that she and Jonah used to talk about running together. Jonah’s running it, too. Maybe if she can beat Jonah on race day, she’ll feel OK again. But as she begins training with Jonah and checking off a new list of summer goals, she starts to question what—and who—really matters to her. Is winning at all costs really worth it? Engaging and heartfelt, Keeping Pace is about wanting to win at all costs—and having to learn how to fail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman’s tortured past is reawakened when a twisted murderer strikes close to home in this “original, spellbinding, and horrifying read” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Kate is a young woman whose mother is dying of cancer. Gillian is an oversexed, hyper-intellectual who looks like Kate—and is sleeping with Kate’s loathsome stepfather. Jonah is Gillian’s odd but devoted stepbrother—who increasingly matches the description of the rampaging serial killer known as the Doll Collector. Though Kate desperately tries to keep herself together and shut out unwelcome memories, snippets of her family legacy keep resurfacing as the Doll Collector’s body count grows. Are the depraved murders connected to her family’s sordid history? And will Kate be able to confront the horrors of her own past before it’s too late to stop the slaughter? A “haunting and wholly engrossing story of uncommon moral complexity, with prose bright and swift as lightning,” Follow Me into the Dark is a complex, dark expression of a deprived heart and an exploration of the desperate lengths children will go to in order to create family in the wake of abuse (Laura van den Berg, author of Find Me).

Now is their chance to start fresh in a new town with a loving adoptive family. The boys thrive in their new home, and they experience many of the typical ups and downs of a “normal” childhood in the 1950s. They are free of the abuses and draconian restrictions that their late father visited upon them after he became obsessed with the fanatical doctrines of the Radio Church of God. Kevin soon makes a desperate attempt to prevent a large family from falling victim to that abusive religious cult. The brothers can now freely pursue their own interests, the most alluring of which, are fledgling romantic relationships. Kevin gets bitten by the technology bug, and he starts building a number of electronic projects including a vacuum tube shortwave transmitter. But the boys’ new life is tarnished when ominous vaguely written letters start to arrive at their new home that seemingly blame them for the house fire that resulted in the deaths of their father and older sibling. Although the boys bravely try to get on with their lives, their world soon comes crashing down when an unknown enemy decides it is time to take retribution on them for a sin they did not commit. Rebirth is the second book in the Threefold Cord series that follows the lives of the three young brothers who have developed an unbreakable bond with one another. A combination of nostalgia, youthful adventures, misadventures, and intrigue, this book is a delightful mix of genres that will keep readers entertained and enthralled until the last page.
