WWII First Army Code Book
During WWII and throughout history, military units have needed to disguise their discussions about military assets. They developed a coded language designed to confuse the enemy if overheard or referenced on a map or other document. This book contains all the CODE NAMES and their respective UNIT DESIGNATIONS for the First U.S. Army for 1944. For history buffs and WWII enthusiasts a lot of material from this era uses coded messages without clues as to what or who they are referencing. In this book are the CODE NAMES for SHAEF, General of the Army Eisenhower down through the entire organizational structure to the unit level. Dedicated to our greatest generation, those who have served honorably in the U.S. military and to the preservation of history.
Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man
Bill Clegg had a thriving business as a literary agent, a supportive partner, trusting colleagues, and loving friends when he walked away from his world and embarked on a two-month crack binge. He had been released from rehab nine months earlier, and his relapse would cost him his home, his money, his career, and very nearly his life. What is it that leads an exceptional young mind want to disappear? Clegg makes stunningly clear the attraction of the drug that had him in its thrall, capturing in scene after scene the drama, tension, and paranoiac nightmare of a secret life--and the exhilarating bliss that came again and again until it was eclipsed almost entirely by doom. He also explores the shape of addiction, how its pattern--not its cause--can be traced to the past. Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man is an utterly compelling narrative--lyrical, irresistible, harsh, honest, and beautifully written--from which you simply cannot look away.
Spring of Entertainments
SPRING OF ENTERTAINMENTS: This is a collection of three major plays. For example, THE BEAUTIFUL BLACKS is the African socio-political satire. In there the rich ones get richer while the frustrated youths get violently angry. MY LOVE IN LEXUS is the story of a young man in an ivy league university. He fell in love with a mermaid that faked herself as a Texan, a cow-girl and a Harvard MBA student. The third play has the title: THE PARKING GARAGE. Here we have the perfect microcosm of the real American characters in a very unique business setting.
Going Public with Your Faith

It includes personal stories from individuals who have made an impact in their workplaces and examines biblical characters in their places of work.
Ghost Battalion
The 49th Engineer Combat Battalion is called the "Ghost Battalion" because so little is known about this fascinating unit in WWII and its contributions to history. The 49th landed on Utah Beach on D-day, clearing beach obstacles, mines, taking and holding key points, building bridges and rescuing Airborne soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. Follow this unit through major campaigns and battles including Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), Huertgen Forest, Cherbourg, Cologne Plain and Ruhr Pocket. This is a true historical rendering of their story taken from actual unit journals, battle casualty reports, photos and maps.
Convenient Heroes...because Fire and Politics Do Not Mix
A dangerous shell game is being played in cities across the country. It is a Russian roulette-style series of decisions practiced on a daily basis, involving the safety of a generally unsuspecting public. As fire houses and their companies are closed and disbanded, their communities become unwitting victims to the ravages of fire, awaiting help from ever-increasing distances. The men and women proclaimed heroes doing their job day in and day out become expendable when fire department budgets fall to the domain of those lacking an iota of experience, namely, the politicians. Convenient Heroes is a microcosm of the ongoing struggle between firefighters who fight fires and save lives, versus po...

Acting Up
This is a book about life and this is a book about acting. Exploring Shakespeare’s dictum, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players,” Bill Carr proves it isn’t just dramatic hyperbole but true. During his life, Bill has tried to live authentically while being very conscious he was acting. We are all acting, he claims, and some are better actors than others. The same skills that work on the stage also work in life. Each requires the same attention to detail and a co-ordination of the inner life with the outer manifestation of that life. So Bill decided to improve his use of theatre techniques to better manage his own life. Now he shares those discoveries wit...
