Book excerpt: My book is semi-autobiographical, and is called “Somewhere on the Mountain.” It’s based on my experiences growing up as a child in the 1950’s. The main character, Thomas, and his younger Billy, have a traumatic childhood, what with their mother dying, and their father leaving them in the care of people who abuse and molest them. Finally, when Thomas is ten, and his brother eight, they are placed in a boy’s home, which is just as bad as the place they came from, and the abuse goes on. But they have friends there, who in turn, help to make the Home more bearable. The only real saving grace about it, is that in the summer, they move to a camp in the mountains, and they stay there until school begins in the fall. Thomas enjoys the outdoor activities and the picnics.

Download or read book You ve Got to Be Somewhere written by Terry A. Roberts and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever had a Christmas gathering or family vacation that was way too interesting? Have you had a family member in the military or deployed to a combat zone? Have you struggled with your Christian faith? Have you or a family member faced cancer or another serious illness? If so, you are not alone, although you may sometimes feel like it. Author Terry A. Roberts has felt that way. He shares his experiences in his memoir, You’ve Got to Be Somewhere. This slice of Americana, sometimes hilarious and sometimes starkly intense, recalls Roberts’s idyllic childhood, filled with baseball, Boy Scouts, and outdoor boondoggles. Life later finds him as a single Baptist minister in the South and Midwest while also serving as a marine. He saw combat in the first Gulf War, later as a US Navy/Marine Corps chaplain, and once again during the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. He was later diagnosed with cancer, a fact that changed his life forever. Through it all, his faith in God has helped him through the difficult times while making him more appreciative of the good in his life. Now he tells the story of his truly American life—an odyssey of humor, tough issues, and faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a tale of three cousins with a very special magical secret that takes us to strange and awesome adventures in worlds far beyond our reach. Grandfather's Gold Eddie lives on a ranch in the Arizona desert. The ranch sits under the Superstition Mountain. One day while Eddie's dad and uncles were in the mountain searching for gold, Eddie found a gold nugget. Too excited to wait for them to return home, Eddie went looking for them. Eddie got lost and fell into a crack. He entered a time warp, discovered a vein of gold a foot and a half thick, and the ghost of his grandfather. Eddie returns from the mountain with not only more gold than his family can use but with a secret so powerful that it sets him and his cousin Jessie on a journey into other worlds and planets far beyond our galaxies. The Planet Htrae Aliens invade Earth. They steal all of Earth's fresh waters. The evil Captain Rameses from the Planet Zuard in the galaxy of the Five Suns come to earth with a sinister plan to steal Earth's water and take it back to their home planet. Oceans and rivers disappear. Our world is doomed. Eddie and Jessie must return water back to Earth before our planet becomes a dead star and all life dies. With the help of Grandfather's spirit placed into a divining water rod and the crew from the Planet Htrae, they take us through the depths of the mountain, caves, volcanoes, fire, gases, spitting lava, and the largest water rapids in the world, all while being chased by aliens. Aliens Among Us A scientist discovers that the Stones of Life and an Ancient Book of Spells are missing from the top of the universe. The stones must be returned. They keep the planets and universe in balance, which creates peace in the cosmos. Time is running out because without the stones, the planets are now unbalanced and are in danger of complete disarray. Jessie and Eddie have won a trip to Egypt, wanting to tell her sister Crystal about the good news, Jessie accidently found out about the universe and cosmos are unbalanced. Crystal and her team are sent back in time to ancient Egypt to retrieve the stones and book. Wanting to help her sister, Jessie devises a way to hitch a ride back in time on Crystal's vessel, but Jessie's plan goes awry. Jessie, Eddie and White Cloud, get lost in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, shot into space, and shot down by space bandits and end up in a time machine trying to find a way home. Bermuda Triangle A starship cruiser crashes into the ocean with nine aliens (ambassadors) from other galaxies. They are on a mission of peace and are pulled into Earth's magnetic field. Eddie and Jessie discover them and must find a way to fly them back to their home planet. Eddie and Jessie are on a cruise to Bermuda with Eddie's parents. The ship encounters a weird storm in the Bermuda Triangle. A rogue wave hits the ship, and Jessie and Eddie are washed overboard into the choppy sea, fighting off sharks. They are pulled into the magnetic field forcing them deeper and deeper into the ocean, landing on top of a spaceship. The hatch pops open and they are sucked inside. Sitting on the bridge are two aliens who are ill. They are dying. They find seven more aliens with the same sickness. Jessie and Eddie get in touch with Crystal and her team in hopes they can help her and Eddie find a way to fly the ship out of Earth's ocean and return them back to the planet of its destination. While in flight, White Cloud finds a alien game called Meet the Master of Your Fate, but he did not read the instructions. On the last level, he is sucked into the game and must find his master before all of the monsters, ghouls, and demons get him.

Download or read book A New Grammar of Dyirbal written by R. M. W. Dixon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. M. W. Dixon's landmark 1972 grammar of the Dyirbal language of North Queensland is one of the best-known and most widely-cited language descriptions in the history of linguistics. In the fifty years since its publication, Dixon has continued his detailed work on the language, extending and refining the descriptions in light of more recent theoretical advances. The resulting A New Grammar of Dyirbal offers a comprehensive contemporary grammar of the language, reanalysed in myriad ways and drawing on an extensive corpus of texts. Among its many new features are further discussion of the applicative/causative derivation; a fresh focus on the role of the pervasive 'pivot', the syntactic linking of S and O functions; a detailed account of the two antipassives and their semantic contrast and phonological conditioning; and an extended account of relative clauses. The volume is accompanied by a companion website hosting the full set of textual data on which the grammar is based, as well as a thesaurus/dictionary of nouns, adjectives, and verbs across ten dialects of Dyirbal.
