There is nothing as pure as true young love. If someone were to ask you to name the most famous lovers and heart-wrenching love story, you may be forgiven for answering: 'Romeo & Juliet. That's because you are likely unaware of David Joe Fallon, Jr. and Jessie Marie Taylor, and what the people of North-Central Texas, and many others, worlds away, have known for more than sixty years. Their love story many well have remained broadly unknown, except for the life-changing events in the life of Rachel Marin - a California woman sixteen hundred years, and more than a half century away. Following her divorce, a heartbroken Rachel Marin sells most of her possessions, and leaves California heading east, in search of a new life. En route, she stops in Texas and discovers a 60 year-old love story missing a final chapter. She helps to "write' it, and discovers her own reasons to live forever. "Half Moon, Full Heart" A Story of Young Love (Klennex Not Included) Half Moon, Full Heart masterfully bridges the present, and the past, as it chronicles the lives of two young lovers from a small Texas town. David Joe Fallon, Jr. and Jessie Marie Taylor are kept apart by the deep hatred between their respective fathers. Yet, their vow to love each other forever, sets in motion events that lead to their plan of escape, a tragedy, and a bitter-sweet triumph that cannot be imagined - It was 1955. Eisenhower ("Ike") was President; bread was eighteen cents; gas was twenty-three; Popsicles came two to a package; Elvis was twenty, and twelve year-olds, David Joe Fallon, Jr. and Jessie Marie Taylor were in love. It's been said that few, younger than twenty or so, could possibly know what true love is. That may be true, unless you happened to have been Jessie Marie and David Joe, and lived in Rosedale, a small, north-central Texas town, back in the 1950s. First taken with each other at age nine, these love-struck youngsters were not yet teens, when they professed a love so deep, in their hearts and minds, it transcended life itself. And in spite of Cyrus Ecclesiastes Taylor's success, in keeping his daughter and David Joe apart, there was never any doubt these two lived and breathed for each other. Not much else mattered to them. His efforts only served to steel their vows to love each other forever. Theirs was a love, cloaked with an aura of destiny, imbued with an air of inevitability. Most everyone in Rosedale knew that to be fact. And there could only have been one Jessie Marie and David Joe. Town folk, who were alive then, still speak of them in mythical tones. No true love story can rightly be told, without the mention of their names and the storybook lives they shared. David Joe and Jessie Marie live on. And more than sixty years later, the world beyond their part of Texas may never have known of and been inspired by them, except for events half a country and nearly half a century away, in southern California.
The 12 year-old daughter of a poor, rural, black southern preacher and his wife, pregnant by the son of the State's wealthiest white family, triumphs over years of abandonment and tragedy. "Where Was God on May 15, 1974?" Pulitzer Nominated for Fiction 2007 Ms. Cicely Tyson: "I have not been so moved by a novel since I first read Alex's book (Alex Haley, 's Roots). In 1974, the life of a pregnant 12 year-old daughter of a black, rural, southern minister is changed forever, when it is learned the unacknowledged father is the 16 year-old son of Arkansas's wealthiest and most powerful white family. Retribution, attempted suicide, and triumph mark 15 years of her forced exile in Chicago. A blind eye is turned upon a vicious murder; a callous display of arrogance and power, until a day of reckoning spawned by 'A Family Gathering.' After reading the hardcover edition, Emmy-Award-Winning actress, Cicely Tyson personally called the author and said: "I have not been so moved by a novel since Alex's book [Roots]." Ms. Tyson went on to-in her words-"lay claim" to the role of Aunt Rose, in what will certainly be a film adaptation of this epic novel that reads like real life. - May 15, 1974 was the last day of her first life. - In 'The Sticks'-a poor area languishing in the backwater of rural Reedville, Arkansas-Deborah Yvonne Davis was a precocious, 12 year old, black schoolgirl...in love with life. Her laughter was infectious; her dreams were boundless. Second daughter of Reverend Henry Bertram Davis, and Mabel Davis, she lived with her siblings: three sisters and a brother, Matthew-her kindred spirit. By all measure, Deborah was a child in a woman's body. It was her blessing, and her curse. Her looks earned the catty glares and snide remarks of girls and women alike. Her flawless, creamy-brown skin, well-defined curves and swaying walk, made her the envy of women far past their primes. What was worse, she was the object of lust for men decades beyond her twelve years. By contrast, Deborah was the lighter-skinned of her sisters, especially Rachel, whose deep mocha-brown skin most resembled her mother's and brother's. While her skin color seemed of such focus for others, Deborah often found herself wishing she were several shades darker. For some unknown reason, she found herself reviled-even hated, by her younger sister. Practically from the cradle, Rachel harbored nothing but animus and venom for Deborah. Still, loving memories of Gram d'lena, her paternal grandmother, guided Deborah. Her humble house, straddling Arkansas's Ouachita and Delta regions, was a hallowed place where loved ruled, and memories were born. It was Gram who, when Deborah was only days old, confronted longtime Sticks resident, and alleged voodoo practitioner, Florinda Batiste. The ninety year-old spinster moved to touch Deborah as she lay in her bassinet... And this is is not even the beginning of this tightly-woven story many find it hard to see as fiction.

A former CIA Agent working in Europe, falsely accused in a botched defection to the U.S. of a Russian Nobel Scientist sought by former KGB operatives, has been ordered "permanently retired" by his own agency. WARNING: America's worst enemy is the one it ignores. While wars have been fought in Iraq, Afghanistan-threats of war agains Iran, and North Korea, even more potentially deadly enemies have been overlooked. For nearly 26 years, some in our government knew 'Quietkill' was coming yet did nothing to stop it. Why? Now it may be too late. Many in our intelligence agencies, the U.S. State Department, and elsewhere prefer this novel never be published. The cover-up began on an icy tarmac in Oslo, Norway in 1991, and extends to 2017. That's when... - *Deaths in a snow-covered field near Oslo, Norway in 1991. *Death of a defecting Russian Nobel Scientist, on a concourse at JFK in 1991, as FBI and State Department officials looked on. *Deaths in Los Angeles, California in 2016. All connected, and all part of a plan that appears unstoppable. For nearly twenty-six years, some in the U.S. government have kept a deadly secret, causing the innocent deaths of Americans here on American soil. The Cold War never really ended, despite the high-fives and celebrations. The KGB never disappeared, just as the CIA remains, and will always remain.

If we are lucky, and heed the signs, there may be one final chance to ensure the long-term existence of the United States of America, as we know it.
