My Life in the Va: Lessons in Leadership

By: Frederick Malphurs

In the career memoir, My Life in the VA: Lessons in Leadership, a thirty-seven year employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs shares an insiders view and valuable insight into the inner-workings of a bureaucracy. Fred Malphurs worked in both the central office as well as the VA healthcare system and spent the last twenty plus years of his career in senior executive service. He provides a compelling look inside the leadership of the VA as well as an interesting commentary on healthcare. Malphurs begins with detailing his experiences learning the ropes as he grappled through his first few years on the job and moves through his career in chronological order. He openly shares the lessons he learned along the way, his challenges both personal and professional, and the high and low points of his career all while shedding light on the political processes, the uncoordinated public policies, the failure to report real information, and the politics of doing or not doing the right thing. His recommendations for healthcare reform and improved government are included. Malphurs fascinating autobiography offers a unique perspective on healthcare, political science, and the distinguished career of a Federal executive.

Meanie Mouse Versus the Orlando Operators

The Adventure Begins

By: Frederick Malphurs

An in-vitro fertilization accident results in the birth of a very special, unique person, our heroine, Melanie Moody. She transforms herself into a beautiful, brilliant, hard working and slightly demented justice-for-all superhero. As she strives to create a better world, she helps those she finds in need and vows to protect the underdog. The setting for this story is Orlando in Central Florida. The world capital of family entertainment, fun, magic, imagination and thrills, Orlando is enjoyed by millions of people who visit every year. But, just out of their sight, hidden behind the subtropical beauty lies another playground where real people work, live, and die. When the cold, dead body of a beautiful Russian migr is found naked in Orlando's finest hospital, the pressures of that alternate reality begin to burst into the carefully fabricated fantasy world that the powers that be and the tourists love. Pro football attracts the attention of our heroine. From the naked dead woman to the professional football field, Melanie leaves no stone unturned as she begins to unravel the clues that point her to the killer. She emerges from the shadows to become Orlando's heroine, Meanie Mouse.

A Year in the Life of Dr. Fox

By: Frederick L Malphurs

During the years of Mexican President Calderone, drug cartels fought pitched battles against other cartels, the police, the army, and the good citizens of Mexico. Kidnappings, murder, threats, and intimidation by drug cartels impinged on every facet of Mexican life. This story of the de la Vega family in Culiacan, the state capital of the Mexican state of Sinaloa, tells of their struggles with the death of their beloved sister and the courageous brothers who become a force exacting revenge on the Pacific cartel. The family ancestors moved away from Southern California during the 1840's as the influx of white settlers changed the culture and created certain discriminations against Mexican-Americans. The family legend is the de la Vegas sold out and relocated to Culiacan, Mexico where they quickly established prominence socially and financially. In Culiacan, the whispers are frequently heard of their great wealth and of being descendents of the great Zorro. Eduardo de la Vega, known for his dedication to his community and his patients as a noted benefactor and surgeon, and Teodoro de la Vega, a Jesuit priest, beloved by all who know him, vow to protect their city from the cartel. The de la Vegas act with extraordinary stealth, boldly striking at the cartel. Eduardo de la Vega leads a secret life of retribution abetted by his adopted brother, the business wizard, Flaco' Salas. This is a tale of adventure, action love, honor, and strength of family despite constant danger and threat.

Someone has just assassinated the State Departments Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. The nation is stunned. Worse yet, it appears a cold-blooded killer has just gotten away with murder.

With national security at stake, Pearl must overcome adversity and the ultimate betrayal in order to determine whom he can trust, before an assassin strikes again.

A Dweller on Two Planets

Or the Dividing of the Way

By: Phylos The Thibetan,Frederick S. Oliver

This influential book was written in the 1890s and saw publication in 1905 six years after the death of the author (Frederick S. Oliver, who claimed he used automatic writing to channel the spirit of Phylos, a man from Atlantis whose body was in a temple on Mount Shasta, but whose spirit was on Venus). As out-there as that sounds to normal people (and that's not even a complete rendering of the situation), this book heavily influenced a great deal of what people believe about Atlantis these days. The views on Karma and Reincarnation have also been influential. As far as predictions, the author nailed television and atomic telescopes. The text can be dense, but the descriptions of daily life in Atlantis from the social mores to the religion is fascinating. As far as New Age and Occult libraries are concerned, if you don't own a copy of this book, your library is incomplete.
