The Education of Adam Speaker is an imaginal dialogue on the subject of Classical Eastern and Western philosophy. It is the story of a young man, Adam, who through his own doing, loses his fantastic girlfriend, hard-earned fortune, jet-set lifestyle, and as a result, his self-confidence. Stunned and depressed, he unexpectedly meets a mysterious man who picks him up hitchhiking and leads him on a self-knowledge journey down a beautiful beach highway in Florida. In the adventure, this insightful guide introduces Adam to strange characters representing nine of the world's greatest Perennial Philosophers. Through a series of fascinating conversations, these wise teachers reveal to Adam the startling deeper purpose of what has happened to him.
Álamos, My Heart
In a mountain valley in the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Oeste lies the magical town of Álamos, Mexico. Its vivid five-hundred-year history is reflected in its meandering streets and pleasing architecture, but what is it like today? It has no beach, no golf course, no gambling casinos, no Kentucky Fried Chicken. What could possibly be its attraction for the lucky few Americans and Canadians who have made it their home? Discover the warmth of its climate and the beauty of its flowers—and especially the warmth of its people and the beauty of what they have created. Quite possibly you may decide to come and see today’s Treasure of the Sierra Madre for yourself.
Stars in My Eyes
It has taken me many years to realize there was anything at all unusual about the way I grew up. After having spoken to recent acquaintances about my brushes with famous people, the response was often "I didn't know that. Why didn't you tell me before?" One, it's not that easy (or important) to work these anecdotes into a conversation, and, two, there are so many! Like many kids growing up in Sherman Oaks during the golden age of Hollywood, it wasn't unusual for Elena Burnham Willets to catch glimpses of TV and movie stars. But Elena's celebrity sightings were far more frequent than average because her father, Weldon S. Burnham, made his living as a portrait photographer of the stars. Among ...

Donald J. Trump's Imperial Presidency EXPOSED through Rhyme was written to give readers a hysterical and historical account of Trump's time in office. After recovering from her initial shock over Trump's election in 2016, author Valerie Anderson began setting her opinions to verse as she read and watched news report after news report on Trump's unorthodox style of leadership. Beginning with his first year as president, she recorded his narcissism, callousness, pathological lying, and insatiable drive to become an autocrat at each stage. Many of her poems were published in the online newspapers of the New York Times and Washington Post, and the positive feedback she received from fellow reade...

Across the Divide
Nothing prepared Liz, the academic scientist (with a background in Australia and UK) for Linda, the quick-witted eighth-grade dropout from Texas excelling in malapropisms and outlandish jokes.

The Sands Are Changing
When married couple, Lilli, an archaeologist, and Frank, a corporate executive, move to Saudi Arabia in 1975, they become immersed in this ancient, undeveloped country. They are mesmerized by a foreign culture so different from their own, especially with its radical mores and oppressive social attitudes toward women. After many years living in the land of sand, Frank tragically disappears and Christian Lilli develops a forbidden relationship with a handsome Muslim man. The love affair must be kept secret to avoid discovery by religious police. Filled with intrigue, drama, and eventually peril, The Sands Are Changing is the engaging story of Lilli's relationships with two very different men. It is also an eye-opening narrative about a culture and now modern country that is misunderstood around the world. Author Jeanne Arlette does a superb job of recreating the Saudi culture as seen through American eyes. Inspired by the author's own life, The Sands Are Changing is a romantic adventure novel in a journey through time with a surprise ending.

Why does injustice exist? Why are we here at all? Inventory of the Universe: Assembling an Infinite Number of Puzzle Pieces . . .
