#1 New Release, #1 Best Seller in Children's Safety Books, #1 Best Seller in Children's New Experiences Book - Making masks less frightening for children!
Reading this collection of short stories and poems for children, we get a glimpse of how the writers have interpreted that challenge from an interesting point of departure, namely studying various theories and criticisms in the field while analyzing a list of relevant works. With their own works now bound together to be read and dissected, these writers are poised to see if the cycle will come to a full circle: Having exerted their scholastic capacity and creative potentials in this complex realm, they must wait to see if their works can foster much fresher potentials. Will this collection help the intended readers understand themselves, others, their surroundings, and the marvels of language? Can each piece reach the target of either instructing and improving behaviors or enlightening and awakening the heart and mind? One thing is certain: Producing a piece of literature worthy of publication — especially something of value as children’s literature — requires discipline and courage. And even though the young readers may not immediately identify with these inspiring qualities, it is reassuring to know that some of us are still willing to intently learn to empathize with the impressionable lot so that this much-needed oasis may continue to exist for many generations to come.

This book is a combination of an editorial written by myself for the literary magazine, JAW, co-produced by myself and a friend for 2 years, the beginning of a screenplay, some poetry, and several short stories. I started the book 9 years ago as the thesis for my undergraduate BA degree which I received from Goddard College, VT. Originally it also included a survey of one novelist, Elizabeth Berg, and three famous women poets, in order to place myself in the field of writing and compare/contrast the growth pattern my writing took through the years. I elected to take those out, to avoid any copyright issues, and prove this book is about a 'dream fullfillment' and what I hope to be the beginning of my book publishing career. As a single Mom of three boys now for 8 years I have struggled to succeed and have grown in ways which I never thought possible. I finished my BA in English and Women's History, and moved on to pursue my MA in Teaching, which I graduated with on September 11th, 2007. Although, I 'appear' to be poor, I am filled with 'riches'--spiritual ones! I hope this book serves as an inspiration for all single Mom's--to never give up on your dreams, they are there, waiting for you to find them and if we are to keep 'hope' alive for us and our children, we must not give up.
Growing up in Ferguson, Missouri, Stanley Andrisse began making poor decisions at a very young age. He started selling dope and was arrested for the first time at fourteen years old. By his early twenties, dope dealing had exponentially multiplied, and he found himself sitting in front of a judge facing twenty years to life on drug trafficking charges. The judge sentenced him to ten years in a maximum-security prison. Prison was an experience like none other he’d ever encountered. While challenged with a strong desire for self-renewal, he faced an environment that was not conducive for transformative change. From poor institutional structure and policies to individual institutionalized thinking and behaviors, he battled on a daily basis to retain and maintain his humanity. Upon release, and after several rejections, Stanley was accepted into a PhD program. He completed his PhD/MBA simultaneously and became an endocrinologist and impactful leader at Johns Hopkins Medicine, specializing in diabetes research.
The lives of two New York toughs spin out of control when a routine burglary spirals into a cop killing in this thriller by the author of the 87th Precinct series. Robbing the cars is Jobbo’s idea. Frankie just goes along because it’s too hot to do anything else, and he can’t resist easy money. They walk along the East River, reaching into open windows and taking whatever they find. Mostly, it’s just junk, until Jobbo picks up the .45. It’s fully loaded, with the safety off, and Frankie is holding it when the cops come around the corner. The police open fire, and Frankie shoots back. What else is he supposed to do? Before he knows it, both cops are down, and he and Jobbo are running to meet their connection: the Big Man. With the gun in his hand and two fallen cops at his back, Frankie has a shot at becoming a “big man” himself, unless the law catches up with him first. A stunning portrait of urban crime, Big Man is vintage Ed McBain. A Mystery Writers of America Grand Master and the creator of the 87th Precinct series, McBain knew the dark side of New York better than anyone else, and in the city’s shadows, there’s no creature more terrifying than the Big Man.
