Let me take you on this wild ride of my younger years hanging around true anarchists called Gutter Punks or Train Kids as they like to be called in this current day. I will break down to the reader how the whole Gutter Punk persuasion started in New Orleans and all the different tactics and rules one must abide by to chill with these rebellious people.These nomads usually hop trains to different major cities and always end up, for some reason or another, in New Orleans. Surprisingly, you'd be amazed how many Gutter Punks I've met that come from rich, well-to-do families. Guessing that this is not the route they wanted to take in life, sadly, a lot of them end up with ominous ambitions as their goals--not all of them, though.Almost every story in this book takes place in New Orleans, and all legal names of characters have been changed as stated on the cover. The only names that haven't been changed are the street names for certain Gutter Punks. City street names haven't been changed either.I am a sober man today, and as I sat here in a long-term rehab thinking about my past, I asked myself, "What are you going to do with all these crazy, action-packed, macabre tales you've experienced over the years? I know! Tell the world how much fun you had. Also, let them know how much karma can catch up with you for all the atrocious actions you've taken hanging out with today's modern Pirate. Maybe it will open up the eyes of the public on how our fellow brothers or sisters got into the predicament they did. What does not come out in the wash will definitely come out in the rinse."7070

The Tales of the Abnormalities are true stories I experienced over my years of exposure to paranormal and criminal activity.Included are two tales, one religious and the other of an arachnid. While the pastor is a sad story of despair, the spider is an abnormal addition to a nature center of tremendous size and speed and is extremely dangerous.Understanding these things do exist and similar events can occur, not only within Prince George's County, Maryland, but anywhere. These paranormal stories took place on historical properties with actual entities exposing themselves on a timely basis, both during the day and at night. The poltergeist story happening at the Surratt House became violent to the point of an actual assault on a female employee, forcing her to resign.All the events in this book are actual occurrences.

Nature is cyclic with the same things occurring at the same time each and every year, whether it be the night sky, migration of birds, or the emergence of miller moths. In The Naturalist's Almanac, Peyton takes you through the year, month by month, looking at the various cycles of nature that are associated with each month. The year starts with wolves and ends with the discussion of reindeer. In between are recaps of weather events, stories of different constellations, and multiple natural history essays about a variety of birds, insects, and other animals. In addition, Peyton talks about the impact of smallpox on the New World, the drama associated with the development of vaccines for polio, irrigation, the problem with longitude, and the determination of the birthday of Earth. The Naturalist's Almanac is a look at nature as we once again make a trip around the sun.

Sleeping in Satan's Den is more than a collection of folktales and stories of the Appalachian region. Through an official "ghost writer" named Lurlene Joy McCoy, the reader is delighted with scary tales and stories to spark the imagination, followed by the perspective of a member of a highly secretive group known as Alpha Domini--First Father. Lurlene Joy McCoy interprets the theme of each story--some based on real people, places, and events--through the use of scripture, psychology, science, religion, and modern secular explanations, using verifiable sources to allow the reader to decide for themself what is real and what is make-believe. Satan's Den exists. We have all been there. How you have survived its secrets is part of who you are today and where you will go tomorrow.

As a daily routine, we need to remind ourselves that each individual is special and gifted in God's eyes. Although we might not know it or see it, we all have been given unique gifts. Some are being uncovered, like stories with characters. Some yet to be discovered, and unfortunately, some may never be used. But as you flip through these pages over time, hopefully, you might see that doesn't have to be your story.

The author was born in the South Bronx in 1970, a time when chaos and despair wreaked havoc on the community, in a place where crime ruled the streets, where hope and poverty lived on the same side of the block. A young mother decided to take her baby boy and ran. She packed up and moved to a better place, a town called Springfield. It was a new home, where the butterflies hummed and the hummingbirds chirped to a new melody. The young boy lived his younger years in a state of bliss, that is until the dark clouds rolled in. The family fell on hard times. The author's biggest worries were where was the next meal coming from or how to stay warm in a frigid apartment. Times were tough, but the young boy kept his resolve and was undeterred by all the misery around him. He found a better place, a place inside himself. Even though everything around him was falling apart--including his family life, school, and friendships--he never faltered and kept his chin up. When you hit rock bottom, there is only one way to go: up. Like the saying goes, "Seven times down, eight times up."Throughout the years, the author was able to overcome great adversity and make a better life for himself. He has owned and operated several martial arts schools in the New York City area. The author also founded the Kids of New York, an organization which holds free events for city youth including breaking (breakdance) and martial arts. Hope is what gives us direction. Passion is the wings beneath are feet. Anything is possible despite the obstacles we may face. Just keep moving forward, and you will surely reach a better place. Karate, Anthony.

I probably watch too much news, read too many newspapers, magazines, and blogs, and have too many conversations with people about politics. Often in my mind, I consider myself better than politicians. I may be better than some but not all of them. What I notice is that I make similar mistakes to those in charge. Because of this, I'm willing to say I'm not perfect. And I have the experiences to prove it. Join me in a journey to tell people why I should not run for public office, nor should I receive any write-in votes in the next election. If you do opt for writing my name in on your ballot and are uncertain how, ask for assistance from the helpful people at your voting location and write in my full name, James E. Collins. You may not change an election, but maybe it will change your outlook, knowing that you can vote for whom you want to, not someone you are being told to vote for. As an afterthought, please don't tell me about ending a sentence with a preposition. I tend to do that.

Frank is a former CIA agent. Was Dan's death really an accident? And why is the CIA looking into Rollins Company? Are they involved in the CIA project on AIR? Or is there more?

Suicide is a word common to any age, race, creed, or color. It is one word where its understanding includes the whole world. It normally comes with deep-seated challenges. The main debate to this word: is it a solution to our deepest traumas of life? Meaning, could this be a relief to our heartbreaks? Our trauma of health issues, is it a subject that when tabled, one can be guaranteed relief? Teenagers who are unable to face their first heartbreaks or spoiled brats throwing tantrums say, "If I can't get what I want, I'll just kill myself, and everyone will understand that I'm fed up." Is mercy killing aiding suicide for a loved one? Does suicide really give that finality to the traumas of life? Can we give and expect relief and escape from chronic poverty? What brings the thought to end it all and how can we be certain that the act gives the relief people think it brings? If it doesn't bring the desired effect one would expect from all these traumatic challenges of life, then what is suicide about and why does it project itself to a reason as a solution to desperation, to despondence? What actually is suicide about? The author delves deeply into the reason that suicide only rears its head with the challenges of life. Is it a temptation? Is it a gradual thought that makes sense when one has to face growth? This book breaks down all what suicide means to us as human beings.
