All baby boomers are children of their time. In Our Time After a While, writer Lloyd Billingsley backpacks into that time, the tail end of the tail-fi n era, in its very birthplace. In the motor cities of Detroit and Windsor, the streets, schools and parks jostled with a vast cast of characters. The author charts their adventures, and the sound track no border could stop, and which would spread around the world. This was long ago, but like Bob Seger the author is still humming a song from 1962, and still looking back in wonder. In Our Time After a While, his fellow baby boomers and all others can join him. Memories are made of this.

Happy Hoppys Orchestra and Other Stories is Victoria Billingsleys collection of tales about children and animals, such as Happy Hoppy himself, a rabbit who simply cant stop singing. But he finds he is not the only animal with a musical gift. Here children will also learn how twin ducklings Jake and Jack managed to lose their yellow but gain from the experience. As for Laura Cousins, a bored child with a room full of toys, she finds herself spirited away to a strange land where nothing is straight and everything is different. On her return, Laura is also different. In another tale, set many centuries ago, the various birds and beasts respond to a mysterious noise, whose source becomes apparent. The stories reflect the authors love of children and animals, and the way we learn from experience.
Despite charges that the National Council of Churches funneled money to Marxist-Leninist governments and insurgencies, there has been no sustained examination of the NCC's politics or spending habits. Now journalist K.L. Billingsley documents a pattern of political partisanship by the NCC.
