Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you reach the twilight of your existence, look back on your life and realize you have accomplished all your desires; you have to share your fulfillment with the world, your children, your family, your dearest friends, and everyone who contributed to your well-being. If the saying Practice makes perfect goes, I hope it applies to me. This is my second attempt at writing a book, a sequel to my first one. I do not consider myself a literary writer, far from it. As a matter of fact, in my school years, not only couldnt I put two and two together, but composition was my second weakest subject. As English is not my mother language, its a double challenge. I have many times used dictionaries to prove my point. At an early age, playing with my dolls, I would tell them all kinds of stories, so you can say that I am more of a storyteller. This is my fairy tale as close to the truth as can be told however, to protect the anonymity of the characters, their names have been changed. Enjoy!

Download or read book Asleep Drifting Book One written by Dessiree Perez (Cover Artist) and published by Dark Horse Writer . This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant and compelling story of extreme child abuse, betrayal, adolescent trauma, and an early life spent in a never-ending flux of changing environments and survival. Born in the small town of Espanola, New Mexico—Robert had the furthest thing from a happy childhood. He lived with Lucinda, his mentally unstable and highly abusive mother, and his younger siblings. He also had another sister who was given up for adoption by his mother, resulting from his mother's profligate promiscuity with the several men that caught her fancy. Enduring his narcissistic mother's abuse and constant relocation for most of his childhood and early teenage years, Robert found comfort in the unconditional love of his grandmother and his Aunt Betty. Forced to deal with the fallout of his mother's frustration with life and her poor taste in men, Robert shielded himself from his rough childhood with alcohol, introduced to him at the age of five by one of his mother's several boyfriends. The alcohol turned into a habit and stay with him for forty more years! Disturbing yet captivating, Robert spares no detail, no matter how sordid, of his childhood and early teenage experiences—from youthful and sometimes life-threatening exuberance to juvenile romance that shaped his worldview on people and love. Profoundly personal and palpably raw, Asleep(Drifting) is a touching story about the resilience of a child's spirit in the face of extreme physical and mental abuse and highlights the power of personal agency and self-forgiveness on the road to recovery from childhood trauma. “ASLEEP ~ DRIFTING, Is an AMAZING true account of a son who is doing his best to survive his childhood. His so-called “Mother,” Lucinda, is cruel and brutal, to say the least. Such a GREAT read! Bravo to Robert Paul for giving us insight into his life.” –Kathie Kitagawa, Office Manager / Chiropractic Assistant “Robert Paul takes you through a journey that gives you a plethora of emotions. I was sad, scared, happy, and angry for him, and so on. His story pulls you in and has you living his experience right along with him. This book will stay with me for quite some time…. A must-read!” –Barbara Davies, Retired Retail Supervisor / 20 years “I’ve read this amazing book! I can’t wait to read the next two. This is an awesome story of a boy growing up in horrendous circumstances and a man who managed to put aside Everything that happened to him to reach his full potential. Truly an inspiring tale for today’s world.” –Elizabeth Ayers, Author of Historical Westerns and Contemporary Romance

Book excerpt: If you had asked me two years ago where I would be, living on a space ship on the dark side of the moon, learning how to run an alien circus was not in the top one hundred. It wasn't even in the top one million. If you had told me that this was going to happen and that I was going to be living with a whole plethora of sexy aliens and getting to know my three paternal grandfathers, I would have asked what weed you were smoking, and where I could get some from. If you had said that my stash of tentacle porn erotic novels may be a good precursor for my future sex life I would have asked you which loony bin you had escaped from. Yet here I am and all of the above has occurred Now I think I'm either committed to a looney bin and suffering a psychotic break myself or my life really is out of this world.

Book excerpt: What evidence is there for and against unified schemes for active galactic nuclei (AGN)? How do the AGN populations evolve over cosmological timescales?

Download or read book Spaced Out A Space Adventure written by William Hairston and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I look back on my most recent space shuttle flight, I am convinced that my problems were most severe and uncommon. I have every right to be paranoid. There are simply times, exact and specific, when things go consistently against you; when bad luck is the only luck at hand; when, try as you might, you just can't change bad luck into good. And it seems that no one, or nothing, can really help you. I was blessed with a crew of four trained, seasoned and talented astronauts, but even their collective dedication and loyalty couldn't help me overcome the crisis and disasters I encountered. Merit and excellent qualifications were the basis on which my crew of astronauts and I were selected to command the Atlantis II space shuttle Mission, which had been originally scheduled to be second in line to launch five months before the terrible Challenger tragedy occurred in January, 1986, killing all seven of its crew-six astronauts and one schoolteacher-just one minute and thirteen seconds after a rather successful liftoff from its Cape Canaveral launch pad.
