    Richard Cacace wanted to leave a chronicle of his life to his sons and spoke to them about the idea. They told him to do it on two conditions: first, tell the truth and, second, tell it all-the good and the bad.This book was written as a record of the memorable moments of his first twenty-five years. During that period, his life seemed to be a great roller-coaster ride. His life until he was twenty years old seemed like the long upward climb toward the highest point in the ride. Suddenly, he came crashing down to the lowest point in his life. It took almost four years to achieve another high point again. Pride in his achievements made the writing go quickly. When he came to the skeletons in his closet, he had to force himself to open the door and let them out. He wrote things about himself that no one knew. As a result, he felt a sense of relief for having done so.He tells about his time in the US Marine Corps, where he was filled with a renewed sense of pride that helped him climb out of the abyss into which he had fallen. It taught him to value people not by their color or nationality but by their effort and desire. Vietnam gave him the desire to live again. There were incidents where he should have been killed but walked away without a scratch. There were incidents where he was at the edge of his sanity and someone stepped in to keep him from doing something that would have destroyed his life. Vietnam helped simplify the equation of the relationship of people to people in his eyes. They needed one another at a crucial time and didn't care whether they were White, Black, Hispanic, or Asian. It also taught him that in each of us, there is a battle raging between good and evil and, if we are not careful, the evil can win. Go back with him to the early 1950s and walk the path he walked.

    This book of poems was prompted by the author's separation from his wife during the pandemic (family medical care) and his despair of events unfolding in 2020. It includes poetry written during the virus, as well as from throughout his life which are pertinent to today's topics, such as societal ills during the COVID-19 lockdown-faith, drug abuse, war, racism, love, and sexual issues. The book has both Christian and secular influence.This book is a reaction to the viciousness of our treatment of each other as humans, and the hypocrisy of the Church and the government. The author looks past our shortcomings to an optimism, remembering that to be a genuine human being is to have conviction and courage.

    Psychology professor and pop culture junkie Ashley McKennitt didn't plan to end up in the middle of a murder investigation. But when her best friend Cait's recently promoted homicide detective brother wants to pick her brain, Ashley jumps at the chance to gain real world insight into psychopathic behaviors. That's her first mistake. While Detective Jesse Malone is busy trying to validate his theory that a recent murder is connected to an unsolved cold case, Ashley notices that two recent murders have something in common: it appears the killer staged each scene, as though leaving clues for the detectives to solve a riddle, and those clues seem to illustrate the lyrics of popular songs. Could her encyclopedic knowledge of music really help Detective Malone catch a killer? Ashley's ego says yes, and she's hooked. Misstep number two.By the time it's clear that a serial killer is prowling the streets of Sacramento, the clues left behind begin to hint at the next murder, and those murders start happening more frequently. While Detective Malone and his partner work frantically to find the killer and stop the rising body count, the killer starts a new game: stalking Ashley. Meanwhile, investigative journalist Cait is caught up in her own tangled mess involving a crooked Las Vegas casino owner suspected of money laundering, racketeering, and running a stolen car ring out of West Sacramento. The more it looks as though Cait's on-again, off-again boyfriend is somehow involved, the more determined Cait is to prove his innocence. As winter descends on the valley and the days grow shorter, Ashley and Cait find hope in short supply.

I was about a year old when Jose Luis Fernandez, my father, had to change his life fast, not only for himself but for his family. I was almost twelve when we left Cuba with experiences that no one should carry through their life. As a young woman, I realized there was an incredible story and secrets that my dad had carried with him for years. It took him a long time to tell me piece by piece, and now I understand why. It took me a while, but connecting dots, I got our story.

    As you will see, this book is about my encounter with the Dark. I have looked into the face of Satan himself. Tragically, through all my sin, including two abortions and my complete rejection of our Lord Jesus Christ, I ultimately invited Satan and his cohorts into my soul. I know that is what they tried to do even when I was a child, but it was only through my actions that they were successful. I went through three exorcisms, and as you will see, the last one set me "e;free"e; from the grips of the Dark. Father Martin shared his account of the final exorcism with you in the "e;Foreword"e; of this book because I, myself, know that I wouldn't believe it if it weren't for his testimony. I endured years of torment, and I wanted to share my story with you, as I give Jesus Christ all the glory. He never let me go as He promises in the Bible. My childhood was very difficult as I am sure that many of you have experienced, as well. My father was a career Marine, and he truly suffered. I have shared his story with you in the book, including the complete devastation of his court-martial after fifteen years of service. I also wanted to share this with you because I believe that my experience with the evil one actually began when I was about six years old due to the many traumatic experiences I endured.I hope you will read this book as I know we all suffer in one way or another, and I hope this story will bring you to hope in the mercy of God for your life and to help you through any sufferings that you may be enduring.

    The Voice of the Voiceless was created to be its title, a microphone for the audio-muted or a voice for the introverted souls. Also meant to entertain warm hearts and hopefully, inspire the lives of many. I pray that every reader recognizes the power of thought and practical application of works. As we all know, zero plus zero equals zero, nothing from nothing leaves nothing; wishing and hoping isn't enough. It will never spark the flame of reality, it will merely pacify the falsehood of illusions and fantasies. It starts with a thought carried by your vision, which turns your thoughts into words and then your words become flesh. Everything starts with self. Your attitude will affect your aptitude and altitude. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to. The most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, "e;We must not condemn a dirty glass, but simply place a clean glass next to it."e; I pray my works have been as such and that you all enjoy reading.

    "e;What if my daughter had lived? Rachel-would she have looked like Jay's daughters? She died because of me."e;Lord Jim Fausscyn. Spare to the heir. Unprovided for. Must make his own way. Naval career first. Then His Majesty's foreign service. Luckily, he'd won the pulchritudinous Rana, whose huge endowment of South African investments would keep them afloat. She'd also the rectitude of six Caesar's wives! Although the bloody-mindedness of a child age nine. Childish nightmares too, hadn't she once mentioned?Yes, they'd married, she warning him beforehand that adultery wouldn't be tolerated. She'd meant it, her first husband having been a notorious womanizer. Her second husband should've been faithful if not to find himself in punishing pain. Now bloke in a choke hold, brawny bloke down for the count. His noble Pa threatened to disown him. She herself threatened to leave him unless he shaped up pronto! Career in ruins too. Would he lose everything? Lose his sons? Chap on his knees. Chap driven to prayer though he'd not trusted to prayer since boyhood.Family man pressing on-chastened chappie will muddle through. Rana struggles too. She and Jim hardly mesh; it's jarring, even hilarious! Seriously though, why's she so phobic? And what really happened to Rachel's mum? Lost her mind, losing her baby? Occasionally even Rana weeps, wondering.This story, taking place in the midtwentieth century, is both serious and humorous. Foibles, idiosyncrasies, the utterly unexpected of silliness, irony upon irony, from intimate disaster to spiritual redemption. There's a mystery of deceit and lies, or well-meant misdirection. Crucial names get changed-so who's who? The younger generation is protected till truth must out. Forgiveness remains the issue.

    Sweet, sassy, and sour--the 3 S's most girls between the ages of seven to sixteen years old have been called or accused of being at least once. My name is Laylah Tyrell and I would have the honor of mastering all three before turning the ripe age of thirteen. Not bragging on anything negative of course, because those who knew me understood me and those who think they knew me, ended up labeling me as a troublemaker or the black sheep of the family. I was extremely observant at a very young age, somewhat bashful, but didn't much get pass me unless I wanted it to. That's why it came as a bit of a surprise when I learned my mom and stepdad wanted to send this city girl to the country, to avoid getting in more trouble and possible jail time.I admit, I did some wrong; possibly some unspeakable things growing up, but I was also forced to deal with a lot of things children my age shouldn't be exposed to, and I guess that made me hostile or as I would like to call it, "e;tough enough."e;You see I was abused and abandoned at the age of seven, abused by the son of a family friend and abandoned by my biological father, and although that does not excuse the wrong I did, it had much to do with me spiraling out of control as a teenager and hurting others along the way. The hurt, betrayal, suicidal thoughts, all these emotions would lead to behaviors that would fuel me for a decade to come. In Mind | Tammy Crumb
