Hell of a Ride

A First Person Biography of the 'Gutsy' Test Pilot, Richard G. 'Dick' Thomas, Notorious for His Bold, Daring and Dashing Flight Test Escapades

By: Cynda Thomas,Velvet Thomas

This biography brings to life the many struggles 'Dick' encountered on his way to success; and the power plays and politics of the corporate involvement regarding his test pilot's career. Not all of Dick's airplane incidents are mentioned, but his significant stories come to life such as: his fiery crash in the T-33; his ejection over Mount Whitney; his spin tests in the F-5's; and his final assignment in the 'black world' as chief project pilot on the highly classified Tacit Blue. From his early childhood in up-state New York, to the difficulties of growing up in a harsh environment, he overcame illness and injury. He kept his determination to do something special, be a test pilot. In his senior years, it describes the tragedy of his pallidotomy surgery for Parkinson's disease that left him disabled and brought about early dementia. To say 'Dick' was a controversial figure in the aerospace industry would be an understatement. To say 'Dick' made his mark and contributed to his aerospace world would be accurate. However, both of these statements would be true. How was he bold, daring and dashing? You will find those answers as you read about him.

Good News!

What the Bible Really Says

By: Velvet Siegel

Have you ever been confused and frustrated by passages in the Bible that don't seem to make sense? Have you ever thought that parts of the Bible are contradictory and therefore find it hard to accept any of it as the truth? Do you find yourself more confused than fulfilled when you spend time in the scriptures? Perhaps you are guilty of reading God's Word with erroneous presuppositions - preconceived ideas and beliefs, which have been taught for generations through mainstream Christian churches. This book is about what we find when we just read the Bible as it is. When we simply read the words in plain English, what does the Bible really say? You may be surprised by what you find is there and also what is not.

I Am Not Your Negro

A Companion Edition to the Documentary Film Directed by Raoul Peck

By: Velvet Films, Inc.,Raoul Peck

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In his final years, one of America’s greatest writers envisioned a book about his three assassinated friends, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. His deeply personal notes for the project had never been published before acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck mined them to compose his Academy Award-nominated documentary. “Thrilling…. A portrait of one man’s confrontation with a country that, murder by murder, as he once put it, ‘devastated my universe.’” —The New York Times Peck weaves these texts together, brilliantly imagining the book that Baldwin never wrote with selected published and unpublished passages, essays, letters, notes, and interviews that are every bit as incisive and pertinent now as they have ever been. Peck’s film uses them to jump through time, juxtaposing Baldwin’s private words with his public statements, in a blazing examination of the tragic history of race in America. This edition contains more than 40 black-and-white images from the film.

Above the Storm

By: Velvet D. Nelson

Above the storm is a walk in fait, hope, love, grace, and endurance,and all the emotions between. Casual yet engaging the book depicts the authors family history from the viewpoint of a Afro-American woman who successfully assimitated and adapted to the changing patherns and ways of growing up. The story chronicles and innocently precocious view of education, farm life and seemingly endless wandering for jobs in the Lone Star State. A life changing situation came to a head but faith,hope,grace, and love revailed.
