This novel, primarily set in the 1960s, is seen through the eyes of a white youth growing up in a black society. The story is not as much about hatred as it is about brotherly love, about a positive encounter in the lives of many. The sixties were indeed volatile times, but presented lessons to be learned, lessons to be passed along to future generations. Millions of people are still fascinated by the 1960s, and the history that unfolded dramatically-assassinations, the Vietnam conflict, Civil Rights, the media, the music-yet a time in the 20th century when life seemed much simpler and tangible. The author takes the reader back through some of these days, back to Detroit. While experiencing the 50s and 60s through Jesse's eyes, his life will become etched in your mind. About the Author-Robert Gray Wallace lived through much of the 1960s as a teenager, celebrating his 19th birthday in Saigon in 1968, just prior to the massive Vietnamese Tet offensive. Growing up he was aware and sensitive to the Civil Rights movement. The rhythm and blues and soulful hits of that era painted dozens of images through the music and lyrics. Much of that time is tightly woven into the pages of this novel simply entitled Tradin' Shoes. www.tradinshoes.com

Bobby Cinema has written seven detective stories in one book about each different character going through solving a difficult case, being in the action and deal with real intensive stuff they had to go through from solving cases. For these seven ordinary detectives and their team, their work usually ends up in a library, which is their sanctuary and a place to read and relax at the same time. The first detective series is called Raymond: Librarian PI. Ray Levenstein, a former FBI agent, took over the head librarian job from his friend Jerry who helped him get in the LAPD police academy and became his mentor when he grew up. He was forced into retirement when he was shot in the line of fire when he was a FBI agent. Ray was well respected and highly decorated as an FBI agent, but he decided to retire at a young age of thirty-five. He took over Jerrys job as a head librarian in the Los Angeles Public Library and decided to run a detective agency in his library since he has a PI license. He hires Kevin Sandler, Nick Arbuckle, and Alyson Harris who joined the PI team. Thank you for reading the Seven Librarian Detective series. I hope you enjoy reading them. Who knows, maybe I can come up with another princess story in another time. This is my seventh book that I turn my seven librarian detective stories in one book. See you next time, and the library is now closed. Good-bye!

Searching for permission to drop your standards, ditch the guilt and relax? The Secret of Half-arsed Parenting is a practical and entertaining antidote to the extreme stress of modern parenting. It pokes fun at the unrealistic goals and expectations thrust on parents today, and offers a way to raise kids with less pressure, less guilt, less stress and fewer cupcakes baked at midnight. It's not about doing a bad job. It's about recognising that parents don't have to be perfect. What's wrong with toasted sandwiches for dinner? Kids sharing bedrooms and bathrooms? The fact your child's first word was 'Bluey' rather than 'Mama'? Half-arsed parents let their kids succeed - and fail - on their own merits. They will protect them from bullies, head lice and mullet hairstyles, but not from every knock and bump of life that will make them better adults. Drawing on worrying research into anxiety in children and parents in this era of helicopter parenting, journalist and doctor of education Susie O'Brien lays out the case for embracing a bit of half-arsed parenting in your house. By doing half as much, you might just make everyone twice as happy. Here's how.
