Along the way, the two are joined by RJ of the local police and Marcella, an FBI agent out of Columbus.

While Marcella and RJ are bound legally to follow the letter of the law, Sam and Shorty use their creative and unique ways of investigation to get to the bottom of this homicide. As Sam and Shorty get deeper into their investigation, they realize there is more to this killing than meets the eye. Things really heat up when Jackie, Sam's significant other, is kidnapped. Coupled with leads from informants, the duo race against time to find Jackie before it's too late.

Red Herrings and Bread Crumbs

By: James G. Davies Sr.Sr.

My publisher has advised me that in order to grab your attention I must tell you right up front that the following story is all about aliens. Now how they had managed to pull the very truth right out of thin air I will never know. But to first appreciate then envision that all things falling within the realm of science fiction will eventually become possible, something I believe we are constantly always halfway there once envisioned, then only 'time' beomes the specific factor seperating these two realms from eventually becoming reality. Now accepting the possibility that aliens do exist, especially considering the theories on our own original creation suggesting we come from 'star dust' which make you and I aliens, then let's understand that they like us are also suject to the universal laws which has first created and now controls all things within its realm. And just as if we were on a road trip enjoying the inspiring sites within our capabilities after having left our much larger camper near the outskirts of town our smaller run around vehicle unfortunately broke down, which is exactly what has happened to the visitors of our Earth then they also would be looking for help from those in close proximity for assistance before being able to getting back on thier way. And the only thang that seperates their methods over ours, even thought the desired results are to be the same, is the methods they have at their disposal, which herin lays the very strange fable awaiting you.

366 Days of Recovery, My First Year in Recovery

A Guide for the Recovering Person

By: Rozelle F. White Sr.,Rozelle F. White

This book is a daily recovery guide depicting the authors first year in recovery from a drug and alcohol addiction. It shows the power of God, and how He was able to turn a "junkie", (junkie, meaning drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, over-eating, video games, internet, power, control, etc.) into a productive member of society. The recovery guide can be used for individuals recovering or trying to recover from any number of addictions. It lets the recovering person and the family know what it takes to stay clean and live a productive life. The book is also a great guide for families who do not understand the horrors of addiction whatever they may be. It helps the family show empathy instead of sympathy for their loved one. Each day has a title, a description of that day and a quote at the end to reflect a positive reinforcement regarding the recovery process.

Jesus Wept

Jesus Wept

A Psychospiritual Handbook of Death, Grief, and Bereavement Counseling for Eastern Orthodox Clergy

By: Gregory P. Wynot, Sr.

One of the less formal but most important functions of parish ministry entails providing counseling to parishioners in need of sympathetic hearing and understanding advice from someone they personally know and trust. Jesus Wept provides a theological, psychological, and doctrinal foundation of the Eastern Orthodox Christian view of death that counselors can pass along to help the bereaved place the decedent's passing into proper spiritual context. It also discusses the psychological, functional, and spiritual aspects of the Eastern Orthodox funeral services. Author Gregory P. Wynot, Sr. focuses on the especially traumatic circumstances connected with the death of a family member or loved one and details the stages of dying and the grieving process. He also discusses how to diagnose and categorize different kinds of grief as well as how best to approach specific situations. Finally, Wynot looks at the impact of bereavement counseling on the counselor, who must find a delicate balance between being a "spiritual father" and psychological "caregiver". Also included are resource appendices and a bibliography for further reading. Jesus Wept is an invaluable resource that can ease the burden of what is certainly one of the most challenging tasks any counselor is called upon to perform.

Scarlet to Green

A History of Intelligence in the Canadian Army 1903-1963

By: Major S.R. Elliot

Scarlet to Green details the ‘boom and bust’ cycles of the Canadian Army’s intelligence organization from its inception in 1903 to 1963, the eve of the Integration of the Canadian Armed Forces. The book analyzes the role of intelligence in Canadian Army operations in World Wars I and II, and the Korean War, as well as its activities in Canada. The influence of intelligence on operational decision-making, the development of new intelligence collection techniques, and the challenges of countering enemy espionage and subversion are some of the enduring aspects of military intelligence explored. Elliot draws particular attention to the imperatives for having a highly capable and professional military intelligence organization and staff, and shows the challenges when the situation is otherwise, in both peace and war. With a new Foreword and Afterword by Dr. David A. Charters (Professor of Military History (retd) and Senior Fellow at The Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society, University of New Brunswick), this second edition commemorates the 35th Anniversary of the Canadian Intelligence Branch, the 75th Anniversary of the formation of the Army’s Canadian Intelligence Corps, and the latter’s formal re-instatement in December 2016.

A History of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Part 1

1796-1872

By: David Henry Bradley

First published in 1956, Rev. David S. Bradley Sr. wrote what was at the time and remains today the most thorough, scholarly history of the beginnings and growth of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Beginning with the birth of A. M. E. Zion Chapel in a humble chapel in New York City, Part 1 traces the growth of the church into a powerful and agile denomination, expanding from the settled coast into the frontiers of upstate New York and western Pennsylvania. The advancing denomination, with natural and inherited "antagonism to slavery," attracted "freedmen, seeking spiritual freedom," including the famous black Abolitionist activists—Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass, who learned and honed his rhetorical skills as an exhorter in the A. M. E. Zion congregation in New Bedford, Massachusetts, under Reverend Thomas James. "No road was too pioneering no thought too liberal, for these were freedmen, seeking spiritual freedom . . . All along the Mason Dixon Line, and further West, in Ohio and Indiana, Zion Churchmen became beacon points of hope to the escaped slave and A. M. E. Zion became the church of freedom.

How I Got This Way

The Last Real Farm Boy

By: George Hampton Sr.

How I Got This Way chronicles the true story of growing up in the 1950s on a primitive farm. With very little knowledge of his own ancestors history, the author was inspired to record his own life history so that future generations of his family would understand How I Got This Way. He also felt that it was important to preserve a record of what it was like to grow up in a rural primitive farm setting so that a unique and important time in American history would not be lost forever. The lessons he learned throughout his childhood infl uenced the man he became through his years in the Navy and later as a Telephone Man. While some may feel that the farm life experienced was cruel and unforgiving, he would say that it taught him the values of hard work, responsibility, and a sense of ethics that provided great strength of character that served him well throughout his life. His story telling is mixed with humor and honesty as it uniquely describes his childhood experiences through the tender perspective of a child. It is the story of overcoming and loving life amid sometimes great diffi culties and trials. How I Got This Way is a poignant story of a life that few will have the opportunity to experience in the future.

Livestock Brands and Marks

An Unexpected Bayou Country History: 1822–1946 Pioneer Families: Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana

By: Christopher Everette Cenac Sr.

A 2014 Humanities Book of the Year Researching the original brand registration of his great-grandfather Pierre Cenac for his book Eyes of an Eagle, Dr. Christopher Everette Cenac Sr. discovered a serendipitous trove of local history in the form of long-forgotten volumes in the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse in Houma, Louisiana. The three ledger books that emerged through the efforts of the local Clerk of Court became, in themselves, a series of capsulized glimpses into the citizenry of the area's early agrarian foundations. In extraordinary condition, these ledgers held an unprecedented set of the original livestock brands and marks of bustling bayou cattle country. Each registration entry furnished a record of the progression of settlement of the parish. The registration of a brand often served as the family's calling card upon making Terrebonne Parish their home. Livestock Brands and Marks: An Unexpected Bayou Country History: 1822-1946 Pioneer Families: Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana is designed not only to share the actual registration treasures of all 1140 brands in the brand books themselves, but also to chronicle a short history of laws governing animal identification, to document advances in forms of ownership identification, and to familiarize the reader with both ancient and more recent livestock breeds that received brands and other marks recorded in those three ledger books. Three hundred black-and-white and color illustrations illuminate this fascinating history.

They made a nice sum of money selling the vehicles to the local chop shop. Little did the Crime Dogs know there was a dead body in the trunk. Now the chop shop wants the money that it paid out and the DA wants the Crime Dogs lives. The only problem is they arent guilty, despite the overwhelming evidence that says other wise. This murder mystery lands on Detective Clyde Barrymans lap and it may very well be what he needs to snap him out of his alcoholic depression. Clyde desperately needs to prove the Crime Dogs innocence in order to restore his faith in mankind. "Lone Assumption" by Harvey Butaleon Degree Sr. is well written with very few grammatical errors. The story line flows nicely and had enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and flipping the pages for more. Reviewed by: Alicia

Hard Scrabble to Hallelujah, Volume 1: Bayou Terrebonne

Legacies of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana

By: Christopher Everette Cenac Sr.

Winner of a 2017 Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book of the Year Award This book represents the first time that the known history and a significant amount of new information has been compiled into a single written record about one of the most important eras in the south-central coastal bayou parish of Terrebonne. The book makes clear the unique geographical, topographical, and sociological conditions that beckoned the first settlers who developed the large estates that became sugar plantations. This first of four planned volumes chronicles details about founders and their estates along Bayou Terrebonne from its headwaters in the northern civil parish to its most southerly reaches near the Gulf of Mexico. Those and other parish plantations along important waterways contributed significantly to the dominance of King Sugar in Louisiana. The rich soils and opportunities of the area became the overriding reason many well-heeled Anglo-Americans moved there to join Francophone locals in cultivating the crop. From that nineteenth century period up to the twentieth century’s side effects of World Wars I and II, Hard Scrabble to Hallelujah, Volume I: Bayou Terrebonne describes important yet widely unrecognized geography and history. Today, cultural and physical legacies such as ex-slave-founded communities and place names endure from the time that the planter society was the driving economic force of this fascinating region.

Captain America

By: Jack Kirby,Joe Simon,Stan Lee,Jim Steranko,John Romita Sr.

The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel’s transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy. A Penguin Classics Marvel Collection Edition Collects Captain America Comics #1 (1941); the Captain America stories from Tales of Suspense #59, #63-68, #75-81, #92-95, #110-113 (1964-1969); “Captain America…Commie Smasher” from Captain America #78 (1954). It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few. Drawing upon multiple comic book series, this collection includes Captain America’s very first appearances from 1941 alongside key examples of his first solo stories of the 1960s, in which Steve Rogers, the newly resurrected hero of World War II, searches to find his place in a new and unfamiliar world. As the contents reveal, the transformations of this American icon thus mark parallel transformations in the nation itself. A foreword by Gene Luen Yang and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Captain America and classic Marvel comics. The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-color art throughout.

The Kailyard Collection

Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush, The Stickit Minister, Robert Urquhart

By: Ian Maclaren,S. R. Crockett,Gabriel Setoun

A Scottish lost treasures collection of three classic 'Kailyard' novels, each offering a superbly plotted and descriptive narrative. Bundled by subject matter rather than author, the books create a compelling trilogy. "Palimpsest's eClassics series, Scottish Lost Treasures, shows us how much poorer Britain's cultural heritage would be without Scottish writers ... The best example I've seen of how curation and presentation can bring old books to new audiences" - The Observer "This strikes me as a fantastic venture, and one I hope will expand further" - Professor Willy Maley, University of Glasgow, Scotland on Sunday
