Life Sentences
Whether from established authors or by writers new to fiction, the short stories in this volume explore life as change, using Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 as the lens. The writers come from different backgrounds, perspectives, and levels of familiarity with the short story, but what ties them together is a willingness to creatively explore the raw and more uncomfortable dimensions of life--big events and small happenings--all bound up by a recognition of the inevitability and (dis)comfort of change. Each writer has a story to tell, a creative and imaginative angle on life as it happens somewhere to someone. Life Sentences represents an experiment, a recognition of and confrontation with the depth of c...
JaQuin and Savannah's Story
-Can a chance encounter prove to be beautiful or deadly?? JaQuin Henderson isn't your typical hood dude. He doesn't have a slew of women here and there or a bunch of kids spread out all over.

But as he's headed to a meeting one day, a brown-skinned cutie catches his eye and stops him dead in his tracks. He tries his best to shake off the temporary hold she seemingly places on him.

Studying the Chronology
The period from 70 BC to 70 AD has a controversial and historically erroneous chronology. This is a book for those who enjoy History and historians, such as Flavius Josephus. A book that brings forth the main characters from the period from 70 BC to 70 AD: Augustus, Tiberius, Herod, Christ. A book that studies the chronology of Christ's birth based on the Gospels, historical records of Herod's death, seismic events in the year of Jesus' death, and synchronizes these events with the Gregorian calendar (which does have a year zero!) based on the priestly service rotations in the Temple, as revealed in the Qumran manuscripts, knowing that the Abias class was on duty in year -2 and the Joiarib class was on duty in year +70.

The initiative for the assault came from George Washington who learned that a fast moving detachment could surprise Quebec ...
The Possessor and the Possessed
The concept of genius intrigues us. Artistic geniuses have something other people don’t have. In some cases that something seems to be a remarkable kind of inspiration that permits the artist to exceed his own abilities. It is as if the artist is suddenly possessed, as if some outside force flows through him at the moment of creation. In other cases genius seems best explained as a natural gift. The artist is the possessor of an extra talent that enables the production of masterpiece after masterpiece. This book explores the concept of artistic genius and how it came to be symbolized by three great composers of the modern era: Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven. Peter Kivy, a leading thinker in...
