The Second Gomer Wars

By: Sandi Adams

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Theyre back! As General Patrick would quickly learn, the evil lurking in the night skies appears not only to be back, but this time something is different and far more sinister. Are these new Gomers here to make peace or to conquer? Is this a new war or merely a continuation of the last one? Did this enemy learn from past mistakes, or is the world now dealing with a new threat? As the Gomer saga continues, the world is facing a newer and far more insidious threat than ever before, and it can only be hoped that we made good use of the few years since the last war. What is certain is that the Gomers now attacking our world are far smarter, and far more ruthless, than anything mankind ever faced before. This new hell exploding in the night must be stopped! But how? As in the first Gomer War, it falls to both General Patrick and President Blanchard to form allegiances around the world, and to amass the necessary and surviving technology to face this new threat. This isnt a coalition of the willing, but instead a massing of all mankind on a scale unforeseen, even during the last Gomer attacks. Mankind is being forced to fight a desperate battle to the death, and like the last war, this time there can be no second place. For the participants in this war, the hell in the night must be stopped without remorse or mercy. Praise for They Own the Night, The First Gomer Wars: They Own the Night is an all-around good ride. ...readers of hard sci-fi will appreciate it at every level... Meticulously planned and structured, it is clearly the work of an author who thoroughly understands the subject matter. ForeWord Reviews Clarion Review If you like a neat shot of military SF...this book will be hard to put down. blue ink ...this brawny procedural of interplanetary warfare will earn its stars and stripes...

Watch What You Wish

Kajsa Conquers Her World

By: Sandi Adams

Watch What You Wish is the second in a series about Sandi's granddaughter, Kajsa, who is the middle child. It was originally written because she could find no books or gifts celebrating the name Kajsa. But the reaction of her adult friends to this book about a child working through insecurities as the new baby takes her place as the youngest in the family, made Sandi watch Kajsa more closely and see, first hand, the potentially painful transition to middle child. Kajsa, explores the fantacy of staying a little baby and having all her needs met by her family. But life takes a surprising turn when her wishes come true with a painful twist. Her paraents and her confidente, Irish the Cat, are there to help Kajsa grow in confidence as she learns that the place she holds in her family is perfect for her.

Kajsa...Big Girl/Little Girl

Book #3 of the Series "Kajsa's World

By: Sandi Adams.

Originally I wrote "KAJSA IN THE MIDDLE" because I could find nothing on the store shelves to celebrate Kajsa's beautiful name. But writing about her sensitized me to her middle child challenges. Kajsa struggled to keep up with her older sister and looked over her shoulder at the baby who was now the youngest. In book #3, "KAJSA BIG GIRL OR LITTLE GIRL" we see Kajsa grow in the realization that her place in her family is the perfect place to blossom into all that she can be. Kajsa is able in her childlike transparency to voice what we all wonder, "Am I There Yet?" In "KAJSABIG GIRL OR LITTLE GIRL" you might see a reflection of yourself, even at your age.

Ladies League Front Nine

By: Sandi Spaugh

It was a nine-hole ladies league these four women had joined because of the game, and because of their personal agendas. None of them had any idea what was going to await them either on or off the golf course. Beverly and Jill had known each other in college. They were surprised to find each other thirty years later. Both of them had become widows and were struggling to regain purpose, strength and identity. Diane found herself not any longer being needed as a wife and mother. She knew she was at a cross roads in her life, and her friend Beverly told her she should join the golf group. She had never played the game before, but was certain because of her basic athletic ability that she would not have any difficulty picking up the sport. Joanna was a strong, independent woman who commanded the respect of both men and women. She had left the County Prosecution office to start her own law firm. She had aided both Jill and Beverly with cases against the county and the state, bringing victory to both of them. None of them realized on the first day of league play how inextricably their lives would be woven together. None of them knew how deep their friendships would grow.

Lost Towns of Mason County, Michigan

By: Sandi Lewis-Malburg

More than a century ago, Mason County was a much different, harsher place. Arriving by foot and boat to find a dense wilderness, hardy pioneers carved out tiny settlements stretching right to the coast of Lake Michigan. When the lumber industry arrived in Michigan, the settlements grew to boomtowns and new towns formed. To serve the lumber industry, the railroad spread across the county, and immigrants and settlers flooded in to have their chance at the American Dream. But when the lumber ran out, the mills closed down. Jobs disappeared, and so did these towns. Out of the thirty-nine settlements, only two cities and six fading villages remain today. Join local author Sandi Lewis-Malburg as she uncovers the towns that time forgot.

Working in Class

Recognizing How Social Class Shapes Our Academic Work

By: Allison L. Hurst,Sandi Kawecka Nenga

More students today are financing college through debt, but the burdens of debt are not equally shared. The least privileged students are those most encumbered and the least able to repay. All of this has implications for those who work in academia, especially those who are themselves from less advantaged backgrounds. Warnock argues that it is difficult to reconcile the goals of facilitating upward mobility for students from similar backgrounds while being aware that the goals of many colleges and universities stand in contrast to the recruitment and support of these students. This, combined with the fact that campuses are increasingly reliant on adjunct labor, makes it difficult for the contemporary tenure-track or tenured working-class academic to reconcile his or her position in the academy.

Silver Lining

By: Sandi Toksvig

How unbelievably dull my life was. I did everything I was supposed to. I was such a good girl. I lived in the house he chose and cleaned a dead woman's furniture. I bought hats, who the hell wears a hat? And all the time I wanted to scream because I was so bored. On one dark and stormy night in the upper day room of the Silver Retirement Home, five elderly women are trading stories of their remarkable (or sometimes unremarkable) lives. With the storm floods rising and no rescue team in sight, the ladies are faced with the sudden realisation that in order to survive they are going to have to do what they have done for their entire lives – do it themselves! Silver Lining is a hilarious comedy by Sandi Toksvig. It tells the tale of a group of extraordinary yet forgotten women, who come together one treacherous night to recreate The Great Escape – senior-citizen style. It received its world premiere at the Rose Theatre, Kingston, on 3 February 2017 in a production by English Touring Theatre and Rose Theatre, Kingston.

Schererville

Schererville

By: Sandi Radoja

When Schererville was platted in 1866, founder and namesake Nicholas Scherer could not have imagined it becoming one of the "100 Best Places to Live in the U.S." That distinction was bestowed in 2007 by Money magazine. By then, its population had soared from 25 families to over 25,000 residents and surrounding areas had been incorporated. By its 2016 sesquicentennial, the expanding schools included a middle school, three elementary schools, and three private schools. As part of the Tri-Town area, Schererville students attend high school in St. John, where student enrollment now exceeds Schererville's entire centennial population in 1966. Growth is partly attributed to the major highway routes often based on Indian trails crisscrossing the region. Over 900 businesses operate in Schererville today, bringing with them jobs, goods, services, and prosperity. Schererville's humble beginnings and enduring title as "Crossroads of the Nation" are explained through this portrait of early settlers, government accomplishments, and the contributions of its citizens.

Patriotic Pacifism

Waging War on War in Europe, 1815-1914

By: Sandi E. Cooper

Despite the liberalized reconfiguration of civil society and political practice in nineteenth-century Europe, the right to make foreign policy, devise alliances, wage war and negotiate peace remained essentially an executive prerogative. Citizen challenges to the exercise of this power grew slowly. Drawn from the educated middle classes, peace activists maintained that Europe was a single culture despite national animosities; that Europe needed rational inter-state relationships to avoid catastrophe; and that internationalism was the logical outgrowth of the nation-state, not its subversion. In this book, Cooper explores the arguments of these "patriotic pacifists" with emphasis on the remarkable international peace movement that grew between 1889 and 1914. While the first World War revealed the limitations and dilemmas of patriotic pacifism, the shape, if not substance, of many twentieth-century international institutions was prefigured in nineteenth-century continental pacifism.

Looks Great Naked

A Fictional Memoir

By: Sandi Hutcheson

Grace Adams thinks her life is perfect until her mother gives her an unexpected "gift": a book of diet and exercise tips called Look Great Naked, and says, "I think your husband is having an affair." The unspoken message is this: your husband is straying, and you need to fix yourself. Instead, Grace learns to peel away the scales of image and strip down to her authentic self, no longer addicted to perfection and the notion that she must hide her weaknesses from everyone. She finds herself on a journey of despair and hope -- sometimes side-splitting, sometimes heartrending -- that will empower people to take off their own masks.
