Growing up in a small Kentucky town, my life was filled with happiness. With a big family and loving parents. as a teenager I started writing poems to show my love to my new bride. Later after the birth of our daughter I was overwhelmed with emotions and found myself writing more and more. it was after the passing of my Dad that I decided to try and get a book together. I felt I owed it to him as much as myself. With a church going family and a mom that loved telling stories it seemed only natural that I would want to write. I love remembering the past, people and places that I've been, it's always been so easy for me to write them down. Sand Mountain Memories, was Thirty Years in the making. I now live in Mt Sterling Kentucky, Six miles from my childhood home and I often visit those wonderful hills that as a child I couldn't get enough of. In November of 2012 I was Diagnosed with Progressive MS and I thought now would be the time to get published... Thank You.

"Do you realize you are going back fifty years in progress?" That's what my father-in-law, 'Pop' Troost, asked my husband, Bill, and me, as we pulled up our roots from a comfortable three-bedroom ranch home in New Jersey. With our five young children we did just that! We planted those roots 200 miles north in the western slopes of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. An old, three story, ten room farmhouse that hadn't been lived in for a couple of years became our 'new' home. Out in the middle of nowhere, the kids had a few hundred acres to romp in, as we became used to living the life of 'the olden times.' This vacationland has given me many memorable moments. Some unexpected, some exasperating, some comical, some heart wrenching. As you read between the lines, you will find God in the whole mix.

These Civil War memories were written by General Reuben Williams and were published in the two Warsaw, Indiana, newspapers that he was editor of and owned. His intent was to inform people who had grown up since the war of what it was like to be involved in the greatest struggle that our nation had ever known. He hoped to show the importance of the ordinary soldier who fought in the trenches and dealt most directly with the extreme hardships of war. His account also relates instances of camp life and battles that he had been a part of, together with the personalities involved. The dates, anecdotes, and facts have all been preserved here as the General related them. "He was connected with the important operations and engagements of the armies of the southwest, including the siege of Vicksburg, Jackson, Mississippi; Kenesaw Mountain, Mission Ridge Atlanta, Jonesborough, Bentonville, and scores of skirmishes. He took pride in the discipline and bravery of his regiment. He was complimented in a personal letter from General Sherman for the regiment's soldierly bearing, and the boys were equally proud of their commander."

Although the spirit beings of the four elements of nature have been represented in literature, religion, and folk tales, descriptions of these creatures have been vague, and direct experience with them is quite rare. Yet each of the four elemental kingdoms offers great gifts to humanity, if we are willing to recognize that the psychological and spiritual qualities they embody are already inherent in human nature. Mermaids dwell in the oceans, lakes, and rivers. They offer love and sharing, a sense of wonder, beauty, and innocence. Sylphs roam the sky; they represent harmony, balance, and the attainment of freedom. Gnomes live underground. Their quiet inner wisdom banishes depression and sorrow. Salamanders dwell in volcanoes and vast caverns of magma beneath the earth. They offer the power of intense heat to refine, transform, and integrate. Who are these mysterious creatures of water, air, earth, and fire? Author William Mistele has devoted a significant portion of his life to finding out. Addressing the perennial questions Why are we here? What is the deepest purpose of life? What are our options?, Mermaids, Sylphs, Gnomes, and Salamanders takes the reader directly into the realms of these spirits, telling stories from their perspective. Weaving together fairy tales and poems, thoughtful analysis, and meditative exercises, Mistele illuminates the qualities these beings have mastered and humanity must begin to embrace: empathy, an inner peace with the universe, a divine level of sensuality, and a love that is everywhere in every moment.
