The mystery of what they endured as young children took a lifetime to unravel.
MK-ULTRA, a covert CIA mind-control program, forces Tommy, Beth, and Curtis Matthews to take part in life-altering experiments during the late 1950s. The experience dramatically impacts their lives, but they don’t remember it.
As they come of age through the turbulent 60s and into the 80s, invisible strings pull them toward their preordained destinies.
The Nazi-trained psychiatrist in charge of their CIA program harbors a secret agenda to turn Tommy into a future world leader, but forces surrounding him compromise his work.
When the MK-ULTRA project is aborted, the siblings are left deeply damaged without access to the memories that can free them. It takes Curtis's psychotic breakdown and Beth's startling vision to open up the pathways to their buried past. These developments lead to the detective work of a diligent therapist. But will it be enough to unravel the hidden tapestry of deception?

In this fiery love story set in equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields in on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a remote village where he seldom has his bearings and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies and cultural taboos. He throws himself into work, which he’s deliciously distracted from in his pursuit of a gorgeous African lady. In her vitality, Assam rocks with the energy of a dozen women and bye and bye David becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is with delicious “distractions” keeping the reader spellbound. With its hunting ventures into rainforest and original Bantu folktales recounted fireside, this is a novel that, in its haunting end, will strum elegiacally at your heartstrings. Resonating with Nabokov’s truism, “The finest art is not simple and sincere but rather complex and deceitful.” Think of the Mona Lisa’s smile. Think of Water Drumming in the Soul ... Your soul.

Water Drumming In The Soul, by Eric Madeen

This book is about a man's journey from his hospital bed to his small hometown of Magnolia, New Jersey, where his journey to heaven begins as his guardian angel helps him answer questions that we all have about heaven. Questions such as: What will heaven be like? Will we meet relatives and friends there? Will there be food and wine? Will there be sex? Will we see our pets? How will we get around? Will we have bodies?
In Magnolia, by going back there from my deathbed (or Lou’s deathbed), I am setting up his journey to heaven – a new journey where time and life change. A joyful change. Guided by his guardian angel (Micah), Lou starts afresh, yet that start, for him, is very similar to the joys he experienced in Magnolia when he was nine years old.
I don’t go deep into religion or scripture in this book, rather I decided to “show” the reader via Lou’s journey through the first stage of heaven – a stage that is almost comprehensible to us in the earthly realm.

Magnolia, by Thomas Fargnoli

Shelby is a young flying squirrel who lives with his mother and his twin sister, Darby.
This series of adventures includes necessary lessons for skills the young ones will need as adults, and endless fun and excitement as Shelby explores the world around him.
Shelby hiccups and stutters when he is upset or nervous, trouble finds him much too easily, and growing up is not what he wants to do.
The forest provides him with many good friends, but when their beloved meadow is changed forever they all move to the woods beside a farm, where Shelby meets and learns about farm animals; a whole new experience.
The stories relate loosely to the realities of wild flying squirrels, but liberal poetic licence allows much more to happen.
SHELBY F. SQUIRREL is the perfect introduction to learning more about real flying squirrels, one of nature's very little-known and most amazing creatures.

Complicating her search for the Busby Berkeley ending is her primitive alter-ego- The Beast.

What Makes Trump Tick, by Peter Ticktin

The Perils of Beginnings weaves two periods of history to tell the story of an ancestor, José Narciso Cavazos, one of the early Texas settlers. In 1969, 18-year-old Barbara, the narrator, hopped into her spicy Auntie Eloisa’s new GTO to embark on a road trip from Texas to Tampico, Mexico. While searching for her baptismal certificate, Auntie shares the history of Narcisco, a bold visionary who, in 1793, left an aristocratic life in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, to cultivate the 600,000 acres of land awarded to him by the King of Spain. As Narciso’s story unfolds, so do the secrets of the two women. Barbara’s humorous and warm tales told of a cow greeting her while using an outdoor toilet, Auntie dropping her bloomers while dancing with abandon to the mariachis’ music, and a “gentle” horse baring her teeth before riding her into the river. The Perils of Beginnings has something for everyone; history, romance, and colorful characters.

Did you know?
● It is Emotion that drives all behaviors and actions of each and every individual!
● The Emotions that drive each individual’s every behavior and action originate from an
inborn instinctual foundation of only FIVE primary Emotions!
● When an individual is subject to emotional repressions or a person has learned faulty beliefs about the emotions and as a result thereof exhibits incongruent behavior which now originates from a foundation of distorted emotional attitudes—then, the results of one’s behaviors and actions may prove to be off-target of the expected or desired outcome, and further, prove to be disastrous to both oneself and others!
● By and large—in varying degrees—all humanity may be out of sync regarding natural rhythmic emotional behavior and expression!
● Emotional repressions and disharmonies form the behavioral foundation of the Modern-Day Liberal!
