On Second Thought
Every ending marks a potential beginning; every act of reading is, in a very real sense an act of re-writing; and to revise is, literally, to re-see. These bits of conventional wisdom underlie the topic explored in this volume's collection of essays by literary critics who want to know more about the instinct to continue and the impulse to revise an existing text.
Spook Justice
Forty-six years after her father suddenly disappears, Australian intelligence analyst Anthea Tonelli lies in a bed at Balmoral Military Hospital, thinking of the many colossal mistakes her military and intelligence agencies had made over the years. Stricken with cancer, Anthea is on the verge of losing everything-her marriage, her home, and even her career. Anthea is battling to survive in a corrupt world where her government and judiciary often conspire, and together, hide unbelievable atrocities.

Spice up Your Speaking Presentations
A droning monotone or a presentation laced with distracting 'filler words or phrases' can negate the desired effects on an audience. The objective of a communication or presentation is either to inform, persuade or motivate the listener. From a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer to a Question to a presentation spanning several hours, it is the responsibility of the speaker to keep his or her listener engaged. "Make Your Next Presentation Gourmet" is a summary of what I have learned during my years of making presentations. It is based on years of evaluating and mentoring speakers,: Identifying their presentation strengths and making suggestions on ways to improve. The scope of the contents starts with choosing a topic and ends with the presentation before an audience. It includes the story of how one person overcame the terror of speaking and gave a memorable presentation to her management. It is intended to be an aid for the occasional presenter at their company, agency or organization; to those wanting to speak in public; or to those that want to speak more confidently and effectively at a public forum. It is presented in a concise format for quick reading and ease of understanding.
Tilt
In Tilt: Finding Christ in Culture, Brian Nixon takes the reader on a voyage of discovery, traveling the currents of God's presence in culture, summed up in four streams that define a noun: people, places, things, and ideas. In his journey, Nixon touches upon people as diverse as Andy Warhol, Cormac McCarthy, Robert Redford, and Georgia O'Keeffe; places such as Canterbury, England, and Las Vegas, Nevada; things as unique as typewriters, trains, and abstract art; and ideas as fascinating as mathematics and beauty. In these short impressionistic pieces, Nixon, with the curiosity of a journalist, elicits intelligent discussion and poetic articulations, prompting a head tilt from those who join him on a theo-cultural expedition.
And They Called It Horizon
During her two-year tenure as Santa Fe’s Poet Laureate, award-winning poet Valerie Martínez appeared at over 50 public events—in schools, museums, cafés, galleries; in public parks and local banks and libraries; for children, youth, adults, and families. While traversing the city, she wrote about it—occasional poems, meditations, narratives, lyric poems that capture the present and past of the capital city and its people, all collected here, in this volume. The title poem imagines the creation of the land and its people and unfolds forward to the present. “Blue Winding, Blue Way” watches the Santa Fe River as it threads through the city. “History, Apology” tries to grapple wi...

Tom’s Poetry, from Back When to Right Now
This book, "Tom's Poetry: from back when to right now", is a collection of poems I've written over several decades. Many have been published in anthologies, newspapers and magazines, and my own books. They address five different time periods and themes, starting with early days, e.g. "Growing up," to " Family and friends" to "The world we live in now.". My poems cover a variety of topics and experiences: my youth, relationships, where I lived and hung out, our special San Diego natural worlds, and holidays. They're all in the rhyming class and many are humorous..
