Editorial Reviews Review "If only Brandon were around to write this when I was a teenager, he would have been too old to be the assistant director for the movie we worked on together. Thankfully, he wasn't. But thankfully for you, he's not old and dead. This book will save you a lot of time and heartache, which often go together." - Thor Ramsey Comedian, Actor, Author, Pastor "The lasting message in my head is "don't let life discourage you from dreaming." Things are going to happen, you'll have doubters, you might be alone in your ambitions, the things you drea, of achieving may be bigger than anything your parents or anything your family members or friends have ever achieved...but you CAN do it!" - Gregg Wayans - Benson Actor/Wayans Brother

Download or read book I Didn t Choose This Job It Chose Me written by Brian J. Tally and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Brian Tally is one of sacrifice, failure of our system, gross neglect, selflessness, dishonesty, manipulation, and ultimately perseverance against all the odds. As you read the story about my brother's journey, I hope you can find inspiration that no matter how bad your situation is there is always hope, people who love you, and a chapter yet to be written. Brian and I started this journey when we were told by the head of the Veterans Affairs Legal Department that his case wasn't the first, won't be the last, and if you want to change it go ahead and contact your political representative. The arrogance, deflection, lack of sympathy, or desire to fix the problem spring boarded Brian and me into this eye-opening journey. I charged Brian with changing the law. I said, "We will change the law and call it the Tally Bill." Brian was completely set up by the VA to fail; there's no way he should have been able to do what he accomplished. My mission was to change the subject for him and keep him busy and focused on something that he could control. His new mission was to right the wrong, change the narrative, and forever change the way our veterans are provided for in our country. My mission was to keep him occupied; never did I imagine that he'd see it all the way through and what it would morph into. I couldn't be prouder of my brother, who he is, who he has become, and the relationship he's created with God. Enjoy the journey you're about to go upon, and watch how a gung-ho Marine veteran went from running a successful landscaping company to walking the halls of Congress. Brian never served in overseas combat; Brian's combat came in the tune of walking the halls of Congress, countless phone calls and emails, and years of pain that continues today, all while fighting to make sure this never happens again. His combat mission was fought on US soil against the tyranny of our government systems, and he succeeded. Sometimes you choose a calling in life, and sometimes a calling chooses you. I love you, brother, and I'm so proud of you and everything you have accomplished! Respectfully, Scott Tally / USAF Combat Veteran

She never lost Hope or Faith in God despite her many trials. She gives God praise for taking her through these various tribulations triumphantly and conquering the enemy. The author provides a wonderful example for others as to how they, too, can achieve and be victorious against many odds-with God's help. Katherine now lives in Albany, Georgia and is a member of Sherwood Baptist Church. She has two wonderful sons, Kyhiel and Anthony, "Kylie".

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestseller Tess Gerritsen and acclaimed thriller writer Gary Braver comes a sexy murder mystery about a reckless affair and dangerous secrets. Taryn Moore is young, beautiful, and brilliant...so why would she kill herself? When Detective Frankie Loomis arrives on the scene to investigate the girl's fatal plunge from her apartment balcony, she knows in her gut there's more to the story, especially after the autopsy reveals that the college senior was pregnant. It could be reason enough for suicide--or a motive for murder. To English professor Jack Dorian, Taryn was the ultimate fantasy: intelligent, adoring, and completely off limits. But there was also a dark side to Taryn, a dangerous streak that threatened those she turned her affections to--including Jack. And now that she's dead, his problems are just beginning. After Frankie uncovers a trove of sordid secrets, it becomes clear that Jack may know the truth. He is guilty of deception, but is he capable of cold-blooded murder?

When a lifetime of bad karma finally lands on Bryan’s doorstep and leaves his brother dead, he must survive long enough to find the killers and get his revenge, but as the path only grows bloodier, Bryan may not be able to handle the steps he’ll need to take against his enemies. As he becomes more unstable and his past crashes into his present, Bryan must decide if vengeance is worth becoming the monster he always denied or if he could find a another path; one that could lead to something like redemption. Praise for HELL CHOSE ME: “Angel Luis Colón’s knack for writing colorful, compromised hooligans for whom you can’t help but root has garnered him a loyal following, and his debut novel, Hell Chose Me, more than delivers on the promise of his short fiction. Equal parts profound and profane, Hell Chose Me is a damned good read—a vividly imagined pulp nightmare best read through splayed fingers.” —Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of The Killing Kind “Fueled by revenge and unapologetically bloody, Hell Chose Me contains all the violent, morally conflicted elements you hope to see in a classic hitman tale. However, this is not your parents’ noir. Angel Luis Colón levels up in his first full-length novel with superb writing and a voice that seizes you from page one. A dark, dirty, gritty delight.” —Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts “Buckle up, Buttercup. Angel Luis Colón delivers a gut punch that stays with you.” —Shaun Harris, author of The Hemingway Thief “Colón’s voice pulled me along like a tidal wave.” —Sara J. Henry, author of A Cold and Lonely Place and Learning to Swim
