I want to be direct, my name is Greg. I go by “Onision” online. This book is made up of events that occurred in my own life mixed with fiction from the made up life of James. James is essentially a better version of myself. His home, his school & his life all resemble my own at his age. The people James analyzes and is surrounded by are not so unlike those I’ve known as well. I have experienced much of the loss James has however his happier moments are more often than not also mine. I want to share my story without it being purely non-fiction. I simply felt this approach would make for a far better book. Stones to Abbigale is not just my book, it is a piece of who I am.

STONES CORNER, Turmoil V1 Stones Corner, Turmoil V1 is an intense, gripping thriller with numerous twists and plots. It describes the realities and truth of life in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, in the early 1970s, the onset of what became known as "The Troubles." Turmoil recaps the cruelty, violence, heartache, poverty and desire of ordinary men and women attempting to survive in a world of sectarianism, discrimination, and militancy. The narrative follows the lives of an innocent Catholic girl from the wrong side of the tracks, a young, inexperienced British Soldier who finds himself hated and despised by the locals, to a charming but gullible Scot doing his utmost to save his uncle's shirt factory from closing by a bigoted antagonist. Their stories combine to form a cliffhanging ending to introduce Stones Corner, Darkness V2. Warning: Turmoil contains violence and strong language that some readers may find upsetting. 18+

A constant re-evaluation of the new archaeological and textual material unearthed and edited in recent decades is a recurrent duty of ancient and modern scholars. Since the overwhelming amount of available data and the complexity of new methodologies can be competently handled only by specialized scholars, such a re-evaluation is no longer possible for a single scholar. For this reason, archaeologists, cuneiform and biblical scholars as well as classicists joined forces at an international conference in Rome in May 2017 to share their accumulated knowledge. The results of the proceedings are presented here in the oral stage along with the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Roman periods.
A book of loss, looking back, and what binds us to life, by a towering poetic talent, called "one of the poetry stars of his generation" (Los Angeles Times). "We sleep long, / if not sound," Kevin Young writes early on in this exquisite gathering of poems, "Till the end/ we sing / into the wind." In scenes and settings that circle family and the generations in the American South--one poem, "Kith," exploring that strange bedfellow of "kin"--the speaker and his young son wander among the stones of their ancestors. "Like heat he seeks them, / my son, thirsting / to learn those / he don't know / are his dead." Whether it's the fireflies of a Louisiana summer caught in a mason jar (doomed by their collection), or his grandmother, Mama Annie, who latches the screen door when someone steps out for just a moment, all that makes up our flickering precarious joy, all that we want to protect, is lifted into the light in this moving book. Stones becomes an ode to Young's home places and his dear departed, and to what of them—of us—poetry can save.
