As a management consultant, I traveled seven million miles, visiting clients in thirty seven-seven states. In the course of these travels, and in everyday life, I observed many phenomena of our country and our society which I wished to record, and poetry seemed to me to be the way to do it. Later, reviewing the vast number of these interpretations of life and love, I chose the poems in this book for my first published collection-for no good reason, except that I opted to save poems about business and office life and politics and war (and more about love and dogs) for future collections. I hope you enjoy these. They are from "Where the Heart Is.

Here are eight mystery stories involving professional magician and amateur detective Griff McGregor. Come with him, his friends, and sometimes the clown magician Boffo, as they work to solve some baffling crimes.

Then and Now is the second collection of poems by Eric Foster Rhodes, and a third is on the way. In this second group, the author gives the reader some poems for laughter, some for tears, some for romance, and some to stimulate awe at the wonders of nature. Enjoy!

Americans at War in the Ottoman Empire examines the role of mercenary figures in negotiating relations between the United States and the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century. Mercenaries are often treated as historical footnotes, yet their encounters with the Ottoman world contributed to US culture and the impressions they left behind continue to influence US approaches to Africa and the Middle East. The book's analysis of these mercenary encounters and their legacies begins with the Battle of Derna in 1805-in which the US flag was raised above a battlefield for the first time outside of North America with the help of a mercenary army-and concludes with the British occupation of Egypt in 1882-which was witnessed and criticized by many of the US Civil War veterans who worked for the Egyptian government in the 1870s and 1880s. By focusing these mercenary encounters through the lenses of memory, sovereignty, literature, geography, and diplomacy, Americans at War in the Ottoman Empire reveals the ways in which mercenary force, while marginal in terms of its frequency and scope, produced important knowledge about the Ottoman world and helped to establish the complicated relationship of intimacy and mastery that exists between Americans in the United States and people in Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Uganda, South Sudan, and Turkey.

“I began to think about all of the many possibilities of peoples experiences, with the sole relating element being that the happenings would occur during the Christmas season the limitless types of personalities of young adults, older people, children of varying ages.... interesting, happy, sad events...” “…I decided to make the limit thirty-four.....and here they are: thirty four stories of the Christmas season.”
