Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a prophetic peek into the heart of this author, through the eyeglass of his mind, reasoning, belief, and faith. The laughter and lamentations expressed herein are blatant examples of how poetry can shed a light of revelation on the unknown, reveal the hidden wisdom of the most darkest of hours lived by the misguided fool, and tell a story a lot better than a painting worth a thousand words. This is a mental diary-like manuscript compiled of emotions, moods, experiences of the heart, prophetic visions, relationship rules, and ethereal thoughts all fueled by Allah-inspired direction and written to and for those who have only silenced their minds in order to become aware of His presence in them and of the presence of the storms that are forever raging in us and around us. These are writings and songs of joy, encouragement, and inspiration sometimes painted with warning and other times shaded with the answers to the whys that often pester our consciousness and unconsciousness. Finally, this book is a formal invitation to the reader. It is a request for your company that you might journey with the author outside of the realms of this soul-plane to a Spiritual plane, elevating from this level where man strives to be man with god to a level where we here, are ascending to be God in Man.

But when the levees break and the city is torn apart, Simon disappears. His son, Julian, a celebrated jazz trumpeter, rushes home to a New Orleans he left years before to search for his father. As Julian crisscrosses the city, fearing the worst, he reconnects with Sylvia, Simon’s companion of many years; Parmenter, his father’s erstwhile business partner and one of the most successful restaurateurs in New Orleans; and Velmyra, the woman Julian left behind when he moved to New York.

As he tries to come to grips with his father’s likely fate, Julian slowly gains a deeper, richer understanding of his father and the city he loved so much, while unraveling the mysteries of Silver Creek. “Story’s musical background infuses her novel with a lyrical rhythm . . . as engaging characters rebuild their relationships and their city . . . moving, if heart-wrenching.” —Kirkus Reviews

As it passed through the night, few of the grieving onlookers gave thought to what might be happening behind the Pullman shades, where women whispered and men tossed back highballs. Inside was a Soviet spy, a newly widowed Eleanor Roosevelt, who had just discovered that her husband's mistress was in the room with him when he died, all the Supreme Court justices, and incoming president Harry S. Truman who was scrambling to learn secrets FDR had never shared with him. Weaving together information from long-forgotten diaries and declassified Secret Service documents, journalist and historian Robert Klara enters the private world on board that famous train. He chronicles the three days during which the country grieved and despaired as never before, and a new president hammered out the policies that would galvanize a country in mourning and win the Second World War.
