When a killer dog and a toddler are found sitting precariously near I-65 in Kentucky, they are taken to what appears to be a working farm, or is it? To the neighboring town, the farm is business as usual, Hay and cattle, but something more is also going on within those fences. The people there, mostly former or retired military working just outside federal and local jurisdiction, had an interest in the idea that to better the lives of people, even fierce enemies, could perhaps be accomplished if each was living in the reality of the other. The phrase winning hearts and minds had been used in military campaigns with some success, so they worked with individuals to study this premise applied on a much smaller and more personalized scale. Could changes be made one person at a time? Would it work and be lasting? Finally, would it make a difference. Once the unlikely pair arrived, it was quickly apparent that the people who had been responsible for their care needed to be found and brought to the facility as well. No one working at the facility could have predicted this would test them to their limits. Baby's Breath is a novel that explores bias and how our human nature plays out from one person to the next. Have you ever found yourself wondering why a person treats another the way they do? If roles were reversed, would they view their actions differently? The characters in Baby's Breath allow you to enter their lives and perhaps gain a better understanding of the why.Bias against someone seems to be the norm and we've forgotten that a person may be reacting due to any number of recent or past experiences just to survive. Certain characters in my book I imagined were sitting with me and told me what to write. I now see them as dear friends who could have done better with a seasoned writer, so I ask their fictional forgiveness. My wish is that you enjoy my first novel. If you come away with anything, come away with the understanding that a preconceived notion of how a person appears in life is only the surface. Treasures may be discovered if you dig a bit deeper.
This book reflects my feelings throughout my journey. True expressions have been a challenge for me. This book gave me the opportunity and encouragement to express feelings from within.By the time I was in middle school, I begin to realize that I had mild depression and low self-esteem. I always kept my feelings and hurt built up inside of me. I didn't want others to say I complain too much or "Every time I turn around, she's having problems." I was telling myself that if I talked to anyone, they wouldn't be able to understand me. I began to express my feelings on paper, releasing some of that pressure and buildup. I wrote something, "How Can This Be?" In that writing, I talked about me and the feelings that I felt. Now that I'm older, I thank God allowing me to overcome those feelings.
Love and Life covers a lot of each of those topics. The book contains poems about love and its various forms and how a person may experience it relating to the person whom they love. It also covers topics about outer space, nature, observations, existential order, companies, friends, aging, and much more.
Remember when we were kids or you might be a kid now and we wondered where would we end up if we tunneled through the Earth? Well, wonder no more. In the pages before you, you will see where you would come out. Have you ever heard of an antipode? It is defined as "true opposite." Do you like adventures? I have one right here. In the pages of this book, you the reader, will enjoy an action, adventure, mystery, comedy, and romance with just a dash of drama that will take you around the world with Chris Collier and April Mckenzie, exes for the wrong reason, who are on an adventure that results in a discovery. Don't believe me; see for yourself.
In The Uprising, the third book in what many are now calling the Heartland trilogy, Bunk Russell continues to entertain his readers with his unique writing style. In this writing, patriotism takes on a new meaning as Mike Lane, the leader of the now Patriot Party and the Newly Born Patriot Movement, creates an alliance between strange bedfellows--the patriot militias, the United States military, law enforcement, and a discontented populace.The country has an openly lesbian president and a Muslim vice president, and they have appointed socialists and socialist sympathizers throughout their cabinet. The New World Union has troops on American soil, and the president has plans to completely remove what little is left of America's constitutional republic and nationalist structure to become the president of this New World Union. The United States will essentially be dissolved, and all the government, including the military and the national and local law enforcement agencies, will be subservient to the NWU.This becomes the unifier of Mike Lane's coalition, which will attempt to take our country back and to reestablish the constitutional republic of the Founding Fathers.The Uprising plays itself out all across the heartland in a way that only this author could create with a blend of today's news, history, and science fiction. This book reminds us all that freedom is not given but is taken.--Patricia BrownThe author's choice of words and literary expression were very moving and stimulating.--Edwardo Patel on The Wind in the TreesI have been looking for a profound book such as this my whole life, and to think that I would get it in my hands so soon. Great job!--Jamarcus Holmes on In the HeartlandIn the Heartland would certainly make a great movie.--Unknown

Some may claim that they've had moments of déjà vu, or the uncanny ability to see what is about to happen, like determining the end of a movie, or feeling like you have been somewhere before, based on nothing but intuition.

Try to imagine how her life was and how the Lord has brought her up to where he could use her for his work and his honor and glory.

Even inside a house, adventures are possible. What child does not like to play hide-and-seek? Every child does. They begin at a tender age by hiding their faces behind their hands as they play peekaboo. This book is intended to show the different personalities of children and how they can blend together, despite differences, and enjoy each other's company. Challenges await as each child comes with his or her own ideas, but it is a beautiful thing when children can compromise and when they can respect each other's ideas. Every child's ideas are important, and compromise is a way of saying that despite differences, goals can be achieved, and everyone can be satisfied. Nonacceptance of a child's idea does not mean the rejection of a child, and this is where the adults in their lives take the opportunity to inform them of how important they are and how equally important other children are. Hide-and-Seek with Kimora is a good, anytime-of-the-day storybook that a child can enjoy whether they are going off to bed or enjoying the day with a good book in hand.

The five-book series All In is about the life of a little girl in South Dakota. The stories that you will read are both shocking and graphic. Even though all the writings are true, the author changed the time, places, and names of many to protect those who would almost certainly be prosecuted. Changes were also made to protect other children who were involved in the events that unfolded before you. They are grown-ups now, but they are still victims, and they are still suffering. The author has no intention to bring more pain by telling everyone in the world about these horrible truths but, rather, to bring awareness that we are not alone. The author feels that once this series becomes public, many others will follow and reveal their stories.The events will be intrusive and embarrassing to the average adult. Don't be afraid to be offended. You should be. The author shared her life experiences in hopes of educating those who think their children are safe. They are not. They are victims, and no one should be trusted with them, not even their parents. The author wrote the books and all the information in the series so they can be used as a learning/study tool for human behavior. We run from the ugly truth. Maybe it's time we talked more about the real stories of our children. It's the only way to protect them and change the world with truth versus hiding its ugliness.In a vision, the author was told, "In order to kill darkness and evil, you must drag it into the light." The author in these writings is fulfilling this order.
