“Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” Nobody in Skary seems to know for sure… It appears that everyone in Skary, Indiana, is having an identity crisis of epic proportions–including the town itself. Once known as the haunt of the world’s most popular horror writer, Wolfe “Boo” Boone, Skary started losing tourist business after Boo abruptly abandoned his career. Now the little town with the big marketing hook is up a creek–and on the brink of bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the former best-selling author is hawking [or selling] cars and wondering, like the rest of the world, if he’ll ever write again. Yet even as Boo’s literary career gracelessly plummets, his fiancée, wholesome Ainsley Parker, is shooting to stardom as the media’s darling new domestic diva. Weave in a dreaming bride with a bargain dress and a few too many pounds on her hips, an unconventional therapist who has Skary in his thrall, a depressed cat, a dogged busybody, and a horde of strange, ghostly figures traipsing in and out of the woods, and it’s easy to see why Skary is the quirkiest–and most charming–town around.

The Yellow Cross

The Story of the Last Cathars' Rebellion Against the Inquisition, 1290-1329

By: Rene Weis

The Yellow Cross is a harrowing tale of a desperate people in a small corner of France who defied the kings of Europe and the Pope. The Cathars, whose religion was based on the Gospels but contradicted the tenets set forth by Rome, found themselves the focus of ruthless repression. In systematic waves of brutal persecution, thousands of Cathars were captured, summarily tried, and burned at the stake as heretics. Yet so ardent was their faith that during the years 1290 to 1329, the Cathars rose up one last time. René Weis tells the dramatic and moving story of these thirty years, offering a rich medieval tale of faith, adventure, sex, and courage. Having spent years exploring a rich trove of untouched information, including trial records and interrogation transcripts, Weis creates a remarkably detailed portrait of the last great gasp of the movement and the day-to-day life of the individual Cathars in their villages. This is an exceptionally vivid re-creation of a fascinating, and otherwise lost, world.

The Heroes of Hanover Heights

By: J. Rene’e Noble

Life is filled with changes, opportunities to make decisions that could alter your life, possibly forever. Relationships will come and go. Some will prove helpful and some, not so much. Then there are those you learn to depend on, sometimes surprisingly. In her book, The Heroes of Hanover Heights, author J. Renee Noble introduces several students preparing to graduate from Hanover Heights Middle School, only to discover the complexities of homelife could inspire or destroy them. Thirteen-year-old Season Adams has autism and struggles to navigate relationships with her overprotective, single dad and her best friend, Rocky Adelphio, who has been bullied throughout middle school. Although Season and Rocky are about to receive their diplomas, a few troubled teens plan to use graduation night to wreak havoc on their neighborhood. Season and her friends and family must face deadly circumstances as they learn to rely on each other and dare to trust old enemies. The Heroes of Hanover Heights shows the harsh realities many adolescents face at home and how emotional pain and violence disrupt their lives. It is a tale of heartbreak and loss, betrayal, and the anguish of dark family secrets, while teaching valuable lessons in acceptance, forgiveness, and redemption.

Boo

By: Rene Gutteridge

Talk about working out your faith with fear and trembling–a scheme is plotted to put the fright back into Skary–and get their most famous resident out of love and back into the thrill business. The biggest thing to happen to Skary, Indiana, is renowned horror novelist Wolfe Boone–or, “Boo,” as the locals fondly call him. For the past sixteen years, the reclusive writer has been the town’s greatest attraction, having unintentionally turned the once-struggling Skary into a thriving tourist-trap for the dark side: from the Haunted Mansion restaurant, famous for its “bloody fingers” (fries splattered with ketchup) to Spooky’s Bookstore (where employees dress like the walking dead). But when a newly reformed Boone suddenly quits the genre and starts to pursue Skary’s favorite girl-next-door, Ainsley Parker, the little town made famous by his writings becomes truly horrified. The residents know that the only solution is for Boo to fall out of love and get back to scaring. Filled with humor, small town charm, and a gentle message of enduring faith, Boo shows how even the most colorful group of busybodies and hypocrites can become a community changed forever by God.

Primitive Agony and Symbolization

Primitive Agony and Symbolization

By: Rene Roussillon

The fundamental outlook of this book is clinical. It attempts to establish a unitary model of the processes at work in different forms of narcissistic pathology, and to offer a model that is both an alternative to, and complementary to, Freud's model of what are usually considered to be neurotic problems. The aim is to extract a sequence of mental processes that could be seen as typical of narcissistic disturbances of the sense of identity, with their several forms and clinical variations. The book describes how these are structured, together with their intrapsychic and intersubjective functions, based on the hypothesis of a defensive pattern that is set up to counter the effect of a split-off primary trauma and the threat that hangs over the mind and subjectivity.

Freud

The Unconscious and World Affairs

By: Rene Major,Chantal Talagrand

This book sheds a new light on Freud who, from the beginning, was aware that the edifice he was constructing – psychoanalysis – which revealed in each individual an "ego not master in its own house" –, had clear implications for understanding collective human behaviour. This man was profoundly concerned with matters of peace and war, religion, morality and civilisation. The authors’ political focus is unusual, and their choice of quotes from lesser-known sources holds great interest. Freud’s interlocutors include Oskar Pfisrer, Swiss pastor and lay analyst; Einstein; and the American diplomat William Bullitt, with whom Freud wrote a study of President Wilson, entitled Thomas Widrow Wilson. A Psychological Study. In the Introduction to this book, written in 1930, Freud describes Wilson as a person for whom mere facts held no significance; he esteemed highly nothing but human motives and opinions.

Proverbs

Timeless Truth for the Modern Woman

By: Rene Tyson

High Praise for Proverbs: Timeless Truth for the Modern Woman At one point in this devotional, Rene Tyson writes, "In Western culture, the word wisdom conjures up images of old men with long beards." This collaborative devotional, written by nine women, rightly challenges that stereotype. Rene Tyson, and eight other women, in short, clear segments, make the sometimes complex book of Proverbs accessible as they offer their wisdom and honest personal experiences in meaningful discussions. They include practical advice for the modern woman, addressing topics such as codependency, tensions over a woman's role in the church, and temptations women face. They take an honest look at the overused Proverbs 31, reading it in a fresh way. This guide will be helpful for individual study as well as for small groups. Dr. Colette Tennant, Professor of English and Humanities, Corban University. Author of Religion in The Handmaid's Tale: a Brief Guide, and two poetry collections: Commotion of Wings and Eden and After. Many a proverbial pit of misery and hardship could be avoided should a young woman take to heart the advice that Rene Tyson offers in her fresh application of the ancient book of Proverbs. The book of Proverbs offers advice on how to be successful in business, romance, with friends, and anywhere else that a person might find themselves. Much like King Solomon to his beloved son, Ms. Tyson guides the reader through this book into its practical application in the modern world. Alicia Marks, Speaker and Founder of Come Thirsty Ministry. Author of The Matriarchs: Four Women Who Birthed a Nation and Changed History and Elijah: Bold Obedience and a Still, Small voice.

Coach Robert Louis Sepulveda The Early Days™ Book 1

Book 1: An Alamogordo Tiger Tale of the Historical Crossroads of Football, Track & Field & Cross Country In Building New Mexico Pride ™ (Coach Sepulveda)

By: Chris Edwards ,Rene Sepulveda

“ Our son Todd was once asked which coach he admired most in Jr High, High School and as a College Athlete; without hesitation he immediately said Coach Sepulveda. (Notice not his dad.) However I totally agree with Todd.” -Gary Hveem, Athletic Director Rio Rancho. “Coach Sepulveda is definitely on the top five of most admired men in my life.” -Scott Hutt Tiger Track 1972.“Everything I do in track and field as a coach; from organization to training of athletes, I learned from my years with Coach Bob Sepulveda.” -Dale Lindley, Coach Chaparral Junior High “I can think of no better word to describe Coach Sepulveda's character than Mana. In the New Zealand Maori culture one who has Mana carries with them a great deal of honor, presence, or prestige. This is Coach Sepulveda hugely respected and able to bring the best out of his athletes.” -Coach Lorne Singer (“Kiwi”), Tiger Track 1994 This book series, beginning with book 1, is an Alamogordo Tiger Tale of the Historical Crossroads of Football, Track & Field and Cross Country In Building New Mexico Pride. Co-written by authors; Chris Edwards & Rene Sepulveda, the book series begins with the Alamogordo, New Mexico athletic program in 1916 and progresses through today. The focus is on the Track and Field and its paths that crossed into interscholastic football and cross country. The book is a comprehensive history that tells the stories of the many personalities from 1916 to 1996 that influenced New Mexico interscholastic sports in Track and Field, Cross Country, High School Football and beyond. Coach Bob Sepulveda had the longest consecutive State Track & Field Winning streak in the 90s of any New Mexico Coach. The book highlights the records and the stories of hundreds of athletes. The book series takes on the tough issues of the launch of national high school interscholastic sports standards, integration in the 50's and 60's, Title IX implementation and girls interscholastic championships, the politics around high school football and more. The book series contains the records of 100s of high school athletes, rich in dialog and interviews with athletes, coaches and community members. It tracks the successes and failures of some great athletes & coaches. The central characters in the book are Coach Bob and Marilyn Sepulveda paired with a variety of characters that played a role in the program success of the Alamogordo New Mexico Track and Field, Cross Country & Football programs. While the story is focused on a small town in New Mexico; it is national in scope; as many associated coaches and athletes had a national or international influence in athletics, politics and world events with the common theme of all being touched by the Alamogordo Track & Field, Cross Country or Football programs, Coach Bob Sepulveda and his legacy Stories include interviews and first hand accounts of athletes and coaches some of which went on to the NFL, Olympic Trials, professional or political successes. No book would be complete without some tearful stories with tragic endings but overall this book will educate, inspire and remind each of us of the good within each of us. Coach Bob Sepulveda, the central figure spent his entire adult life (30 years at Alamogordo High School)- imparting qualities in athletics that are supposed to carry over into life: teamwork, dedication, punctuality, leadership, sacrifice and poise. He’s certainly not alone, but his character, integrity and influence, on so many people, goes well beyond the geographic bounds of Alamogordo or New Mexico. His story is one of hope and inspiration as is the story of his many athletes. “Coach Bob Sepulveda is just a good, hard-working coach and a good responsible person who cared about the kids in his charge. That for anyone who’s paying attention, is all the message that’s necessary”, per a Commentary by Rich Wright Assistant Sports Editor, The Albuquerque Journal. Review "Resilience, happiness and freedom; that is what I felt when I read, Coach Robert Louis Sepulveda: The Early Days. During these dark and down days in sports, due to political unrest and the public health issues; this book is a refreshing look at a positive sports history, with detailed research and great inspirational stories of each sports season covered.A history lesson (with records dating back to the start of interscholastic sports in the early 1900's), part inspirational story with tales of NFL and Olympic heroes; this book gives us hope for better days ahead by reflecting on an inspirational past. Coach Sepulveda rekindles my belief in the athletes and the coaches that make up interscholastic sports. Buy this book to learn and to be entertained" - David Andres, Sportsman Continental, North America Bureau From the Author About the Authors: Chris Edwards & Rene Sepulveda Executive Coach, Essayist & Author Chris Edwards: is recognized as a mentor in teaching those around him the skills of positive self-esteem and business success.

Book 1 of 3 is available now and covers 1916 to 1976. Book 2 1977 to 1996 will be released on August 30th, 2020 Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Few of us know the greatness within our self, nor what we can do... few of us have ever been coached to our full potential, nor pushed our self-hard enough to find out. Those fortunate, few of us, who have experienced great coaching, to find the strength within ourselves, to find our personal best; we are the blessed ones. Michael Jordan once said, "Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best." Many people debate who should receive the credit for Michael Jordan's success. Is it Coach Phil Jackson or is it Michael Jordan? These two things are not mutually exclusive. This author team, of Chris & Rene, believes both deserve the credit. While researching Coach Bob Sepulveda's story and the history of Alamogordo Track and Field, we came across the editorial to follow. It touched us deeply, as it speaks to Bob's values and the values of the Alamogordo High School and New Mexico Athletic Programs. Its point: "The Sepulveda's, Taskers and Jim Hulsmans of the world help kids not so much through what they do, but through who they are...." Factoid- 2020, the United States spends more tax dollars per high-school athlete ($1500) than per high-school math student ($628) -- unlike most other countries worldwide. Friday, May 13,1994 The Albuquerque Journal: Message There for Those Who Watch, Listen Commentary by Rich Wright, Assistant Sports Editor The decision of the day was this. Should I go downbeat, with a column about the travails of fallen Super Bowl hero Timmy Smith, or upbeat with a column about Bob Sepulveda, Alamogordo High School's fine and dedicated boys track coach? I flipped a coin, and it came down on its edge. The face is, in an ironic sort of way, the two go together. Sepulveda is a perfect example of the many scholastic coaches who send a positive message to their athletes. Smith is a perfect example of an athlete who, apparently, never got the message. Smith's story, of course, was not always so downbeat. Six years ago, in fact the Hobbs native seemed to have the world at his feet. What a story it was Smith, a superstar running back at Hobbs High School, had overcome a disappointing, injury-plagued college career at Texas Tech to make the roster of the National Football League's Washington Redskins. January 31st, 1988, the 23-year-oldrookie made Super Bowl History with a record 204 years rushing in the Redskins'42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. The city of Hobbs and the state of New Mexico were justifiably proud of this native son. Before and after the Super Bowl, memorials praising Smith were introduced in the New Mexico Legislature. On February 15, two of those memorials were approved by the state senate-despite embarrassing news that Smith owed nearly $6,000 in delinquent child support payments. The news regarding Smith never really got better. THE LONGEST RUN... ...Sepulveda isn't Knute Rockne; he is just a good, hard-working coach and a good responsible person who cares about the kids in his charge. That for anyone who is paying attention, is all the message that is necessary. For anyone who is not paying attention, no message is possible... ...Interscholastic Sports programs rather in the small town of Alamogordo, New Mexico or in the large cities such as Manhattan have had a history of controversy; with loud and outspoken proponents and equally loud critics.... ...Alamogordo High School began an organized sports program in 1912 for Caucasian boys offering PE, Track & Field, Basketball and Football. ...In 1941 Alamogordo Track and Field sent another athlete to the state meet named John "Bud" Wilborn who medaled: (John Bud Wilborn Factoid)

Complete Wing Chun

The Definitive Guide to Wing Chun's History and Traditions

By: Robert Chu,Rene Ritchie,Y. Wu

Master the many styles of Wing Chun Kung Fu with this expert martial arts guide. With the fame of Bruce Lee, the conditions in Hong Kong, and the hard work and effort of many of his classmates, the Wing Chun of the late master Yip Man became one of the most well-known and popular Chinese martial arts in the world. Although this gave Wing Chun international recognition, it also led to a lot of misconceptions. Due to a lack of authentic information, many mistakenly came to assume that the renowned Yip Man was the sole inheritor of the style and that his Wing Chun was the lone version of the art. In fact, there are several different and distinct systems of Wing Chun. Unfortunately, over the years most of these systems have remained unseen or unreported to all but a few--until now. Profusely illustrated with over 300 historical photographs, Complete Wing Chun: The Definitive Guide to Wing Chun's History and Traditions presents seldom seen information on a dozen branches of the Wing Chun art. It offers the reader side-by-side comparison of these arts by outlining each system in terms of Wing Chun history, principles, basics, and training methods: Yip Man Wing Chun Yuen Kay-San Wing Chun Kuen Gu Lao Wing Chun Kuen Nanyang Wing Chun Kuen Pan Nam Wing Chun Kuen Pao Fa Lien Wing Chun Kuen Hung Suen Wing Chun Kuen and more!

Pilgrim Souls

A Search for Peace Amidst Conflict

By: Rene Reid

A fictional love story set amidst the shocking reality of 9/11, this narrative parallels the plight of America as it searches for solutions to a senseless and ill-conceived war with a couple struggling to work through their own personal conflicts. A love story set against one of the greatest tragedies in U.S. history, Pilgrim Souls beautifully shows how understanding the other side is an essential step toward healing rifts between individuals as well as nations. "I found this fictional story to have the depth to make anyone relate to the facts on one of the great tragedies in U.S. history. Very convincing and devastating to America's image as the beacon of democracy." Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general whose report on his investigation into the Abu Ghraib prison abuse created worldwide outcry. Pilgrim Souls opens with the tragic scene of two airplanes flying into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Through two brothers, one the Attorney General of California and the other a staff member in the office of the U.S. Secretary of State in Washington, the narrative weaves together many of the facts that Americans experienced before and after this terrorist attack: the un-preparedness of the intelligence agencies before the attack on the World Trade Center; the determination of the Bush administration to rearrange the map of the Middle East; the manipulation of the CIA who were ordered to find a reason to go into Iraq; the op-ed article released by Ambassador Joseph Wilson attacking President Bush for using the infamous Niger Report as a justification for the war; the retaliation of the administration by leaking the identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA agent; and the inhumane treatment of the detainees in Abu Ghraib. The story ties together these separate but related issues in a compelling narrative that offers a general understanding of what happened behind the scenes in the lead up to the Iraqi war. Ultimately, through interviews with international experts, the brothers create a new diplomatic foreign policy for the next presidential administration that would open the way to more peaceful solutions to world relations. Running parallel to this is the more intimate story of Attorney General Kyle Anderson and his partner, Jenny Roberts, a couple deeply in love but struggling to find harmony amidst their differing views toward their relationship. Recently divorced after a twenty-year marriage, Kyle wants a traditional marriage with the woman he loves. It seems a simple enough aspiration except for the fact that he falls in love with Jenny, who after being widowed and divorced, is more interested in having a life partner than in getting married again. Both the personal and global situations appear hopeless until changes begin to take place both in Washington politics and in the hero and heroine. Even though the events after 9/11 leave the couple separated by their individual journeys-both emotionally and physically-their undeniable bond remains strong. Jenny begins methodically to look inside of herself to discover her part in preventing their finding a compromise to their differences. Kyle steps down from his position in public office, leaves California, and goes to work in Washington as the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace. In his effort to work with his brother toward a new and better foreign policy, Kyle begins to discover the similarities between the necessary steps for international peace and for interpersonal peace. The key to both is understanding - delving deeply to gain awareness of what drove the other side to such extreme measures and accepting some responsibility for what caused the conflict in the first place. Years later, Kyle is able to own his part in the fallout with Jenny. But she has vanished and left him with nothing but memories. Now he will risk everything to find her.

Peace Amidst Conflict

By: Rene Reid

A fictional love story set during and after the shocking reality of 9/11, this narrative parallels the plight of America as the characters search for solutions to a senseless and ill-conceived war during which a couple struggles to work through their own personal conflicts. A romance set against one of the greatest tragedies in U.S. history, Peace Amidst Conflict beautifully demonstrates how understanding the opposition is an essential step toward healing rifts between individuals as well as nations. Peace Amidst Conflict opens with the tragic scene of two airplanes flying into the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. Through two twin brothers, one the attorney general of California and the other a staff member in the office of the U.S. secretary of state in Washington, the narrative weaves together the ill-preparedness of the intelligence agencies before the attack on the World Trade Center; the determination of the Bush administration to rearrange the map of the Middle East; the manipulation of the CIA who were ordered to find a reason to go into Iraq; the op-ed article released by Ambassador Joseph Wilson attacking President Bush for using the infamous Niger Report as a justification; the retaliation of the administration by leaking the identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA agent; and the inhumane treatment of the detainees in Abu Ghraib. Tying together these separate but related issues in a compelling narrative that offers a general understanding of what happened behind-the-scenes in the lead-up to the Iraqi war, the story is both compelling and informative. Ultimately, through interviews with international experts, the brothers create a new diplomaticforeign policy for the next presidential administration that will open the way to more peaceful solutions to world relations.
