Book excerpt: Acclaim for Friendship: a gift divine By Chuck Mansfield Retired educator Linda Giarraputo Jeans has written, “Reading FRIENDSHIP is experiencing the gift of lifelong relationships (and) stepping into the realm of meaningful human connection. In today’s world, we seem to not have the time nor the situations where long lasting bonds are built. Chuck takes us into his life, a life of faithfulness, honesty, support, humor and trust. Enjoy FRIENDSHIP in its finest voice.” Frequent reader Lucine Morris has emailed, “Mansfield demonstrates once again the advantage of having a keen memory. Thanks are due him for documenting the rewards that derive from devoting energy to developing and maintaining strong relationships. The insights he shares deftly fulfill the promise of the title of his new book.” U.S. Army veteran, retired attorney and senior international executive Arthur L. Burns has commented: “Mansfield’s subject, FRIENDSHIP, is probably one of the few things that still light our world in the midst of all the darkness and fear around us. So, kudos!” U.S. Army Vietnam War veteran, Bronze Star recipient and retired senior information technology executive Edward M. Finegan has stated, “Mansfield’s book FRIENDSHIP is a work of love, caring, helping and the immense value of friendship... I continue to be impressed with the scope of his creativity in bringing many of the more important aspects of life to the awareness of large audiences. After all, what do we really have in this journey if not true, loyal, reliable friends?” Author, former coach and retired law firm administrator Thomas P. Kiley, Jr. has written, “His latest effort may be the author’s most heartwarming. Each essay is a blend of deep thought and graceful prose. He writes poignantly, as only he can, about friendships made in Brooklyn, grammar school, Garden City, Chaminade High, Holy Cross College, the Marines, business and finally Westhampton. No matter how far and wide he has roamed during his 79 years, Mansfield has never left a friend behind.” U.S. Navy veteran and former CEO James C. Norwood, Jr. has written, “I have always been amazed with the brilliance of Chuck’s ability to create interesting stories that have transcended three-quarters of a century. In many cases his stories are mine! The memories he brings back to life are incredible. I only wish we could relive our loving lifelong friendship. Having best friends who love you as much as you love them makes one’s life complete.” Of FRIENDSHIP former Marine Corps combat helicopter pilot and Vietnam War veteran Bain D. Slack has observed, “Most people have only a handful of really good, dependable friends you know that you can always count on. What is Mansfield’s secret that enables him to have such a large number of really good friends? He himself is the very best friend a person could have. I had a serious problem... As soon as Chuck learned of my plight, using his own resources and his own time, energy and intelligence, he took it upon himself to solve my problem.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is life below decks—as far below decks as one can go in a corvette. During the height of WWII, Ike walks into HMCS Chippawa (Winnipeg) to enlist in the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve. He joins up with romantic notions of rising through the ranks and seeing the world—while rising to heroic heights fighting Canada’s enemies, and impressing his girl back home. Ike’s dreams are soon replaced by the soggy realities of ever-imminent danger. Serving in the bowels of a corvette, tasked with maintaining critical Allied supply lines in the submarine infested North Atlantic, the threat of torpedoes is constant. While Ike’s ship navigates the Battle of the Atlantic, Ike himself has to navigate the treacherous currents of life aboard ship. Going ashore at ports of call, he tries to remain true to the promises he made to the girl he left behind. His adventures teach him that endurance is the better part of valor, and survival is his only reward.

Book excerpt: Rural North Yorkshire in the 1950s is the setting for Railway Boy, a heart-warming and nostalgic journey of exploration that describes a young boy's love for railways and describes the surprising lengths to which he would go in pursuit of that passion. Rich in period detail, the autobiographical novel begins with the family of author Mitchell Deaver uprooting from a small market town and moving to a village through which runs a railway line. Mitchell Deaver, eight years old, discovers a signal box (one that is unusual in that it is open to the public) and is enthralled by brightly-coloured signalling equipment and by passage of powerful steam engines, all of which is described in vivid detail in Railway Boy. Mitchell Deaver then moves on to explore the local railway line, with frequently amusing and sometimes completely unexpected results. He confronts the mystery of the vanishing railway station and the mystery of the secret signal box. When all railway avenues of exploration are exhausted, the young Mitchell Deaver turns to his own imagination. The outcome is a hilarious and unforgettable saga that is a blend of innocence and extraordinary inventiveness - a childhood adventure without precedent.
