This is a collection of lyrics, thought experiments, and songs which deal through words and poetry with the depth of the experience of growing up. This includes observations of how people deal with life and conflict in more abstract forms, and attempting to fuse together the elements of writing musically with rhythm, and writing philosophically to explore how individuals think and why.

Manuscript Missing

By: Carl Frey Constein

Kent and Angie Rowen . . . have everything going for them—popular, good jobs, happy children and grandchildren, prominent parents. They are the last couple the people of Newbridge would expect to have a midlife crisis. Trouble on paradise begins when Kent, successful insurance agent, decides to follow his Walter Mitty dream of becoming an author. Not content with one published novel he is at work on a second, With Hoops of Steel. Night after night he secludes himself in his den, slaving away feverishly at his laptop, neglecting his wife. He is a chapter shy of finishing the manuscript when the sky falls: his laptop and backup CD are stolen! He sinks into a major life-event depression. No one in the family is spared the grief. His psychotherapist is about to recommend new and dangerous deep brain surgery when there’s word that With Hoops of Steel has been spotted in the bookstore. Will this push Kent deeper into his black hole, or will it put him on the road to recovery? But how can he prove the book is his? Hmm. His professor-friend Scott Navano knows. The turn of the millennium seemed to me as good a time as any to leave behind a lifetime of nose-to-the-grindstone adventures as WWII pilot, English teacher, and school superintendent in order to chase my favorite phantom—becoming an author. In the first scene of Manuscript Missing we get an early hint of how devastated amateur writer Kent Rowen would become if somehow his manuscript disappeared. Guess what. It happens. I hasten to mention that Angie, his wife, is also missing. We watch as the Rowens and their families cope with the crisis. We empathize with Kent and Angie in their deep depression, loneliness, and utter despair. We follow other characters chasing their phantoms, some similar, by coincidence I’m sure, to may own. We watch a psychoanalyst, a lawyer, and a literary critic at work—fragments, no doubt, of someone’s Walter Mitty dreams.

War Memories and Civilian Musings

By: Carl Frey Constein

Books on Abraham Lincoln abound, with most of them told chronologically. They begin in Lincoln's youth, proceed through his early life, and culminate with his Civil War presidency and assassination. In this book, however, there are twenty-six windows into the life of Abraham Lincoln and 26 windows into Mary Lincoln's life as well. They are just waiting to be opened. How you open them is up to you. Each page is packed full of information that immediately engages children (and adults!) The pages may be read in alphabetical order, with each letter thoroughly describing an interesting episode in their lives. Or, read them chronologically, beginning with A for Abraham and Y for Mary. Whichever way you choose to read this book, you will be opening not only a window but a doorway into the lives of one of the most beloved Presidents of the United States and one of the most interesting First Ladies.

Missing in the Himalayas

An Mia Team’s High-Risk Mission in Tibet

By: Dr. Carl Frey Constein

Returning to India from China on November 3, 1944, WWII C-46 #996 calls an ominous “Mayday.” The author, himself a Hump pilot on a mission that horrendous night, recalls the violent storms. Nothing more is heard from cargo plane 996. Sixty years later, a Tibetan hunter wanders onto the crashed plane at 14,000 feet. An MIA Team based in Hawaii is dispatched to Tibet to excavate and search the crash site. Missing in the Himalayas connects the dots between the C-46’s crash in 1944 and its excavation in 2004, between a gallant aircrew in WWII and a dedicated MIA recovery team today. The book narrates the high-risk adventure in detail---an anatomy of an MIA mission. Illustrated with dramatic photographs, Missing in the Himalayas is of special interest to pilots and aviation enthusiasts, to mountaineers, and to WWII history buffs. Aficionados of the CBI theater and the Hump will find the book of particular interest.
