After a few weeks of love and attention, Pardo showed his real personality—he was smart and funny.

“I had never considered transplant. No one I knew had done it. I had no personal advice. It seemed dangerous. I was afraid,” recalls the author, then adds, “It’s not easy to take the scary out of scary. Information and conversation sometimes help.”

And that’s what Edith Aileen Noe does in this book about her heart transplant. She approaches her personal experience, in a gentle way, with non-technical information and a friendly (at times humorous) conversation with a reader curious about what it is like to have this life-threatening surgery.

MYSTERY / HUMOR / FINITE EXISTENCE

From Judy Berg’s imagination are eight short stories of mystery, humor, and contemplating our finite existence. She explains: “Many ideas for these stories materialized during the long hours spent as a professional wildlife researcher alone with the natural world . . . .”

Her beloved dog Rusty was the inspiration to write “Rusty’s Nose Knows for Sure.” His curiosity discovers a murder, but his intelligence finds the killer. Taking on the animal’s point of view is an entertaining approach to this adventure in her dog’s life.

Some other stories share this intrigue and fun while others reveal simplicity of life with lovely landscapes of the outdoors.

Weathered Wood: And Other Short Stories follows her award-winning hardcover book The Otter Spirit. For more info, photos, and events visit www.otterspirit.org/weatheredwood.asp.

As a young Christian, Kevin Thorson was a normal, healthy 19-year-old. Music was his life, and he planned to play his guitar and use his talents for God. Abruptly, all seemed to end July 11, 1997.

His mother recalls the words from that dreaded phone call: “Pam, you need to sit down . . . Kevin has been in an accident . . . paralyzed . . . ventilator . . . hospital . . . ” She could only comprehend the bits in between those horrifying words. Kevin was lying paralyzed, attached to a ventilator, with a broken neck, in a foreign country.

“I kept waiting for the happy ending to arrive . . . but I finally took the advice of a dear friend: Write the pain.”

So Pam Thorson finally writes about her teenage son’s tragic accident. From those first agonizing days to the surprising interventions of God that brought Kevin back from the brink of death, he earned the nickname “Miracle in the Making.”

Song in the Night is a story of the Thorsons’ long suffering and God’s tender grace; it is a story of assurance that the family is moving upward and onward. Pam insists that “it’s not about us. It’s about our God . . . Who delights at the sound of His beloved children singing especially during that long, cold night before the dawn.”

Mem is an anointed educator, spiritually grounded in the word of God, inspired to speak God’s word through “Momma’s Little Sermons” to bring peace, blessings, and enlightenment to the reader. This author compiled of 25 cliches that her mother used to say all the time. In order to change the stereotypic picture of cliches, “Momma’s Little Sermons” synonymously uses the word “cliché” with the word “sermon.” A sermon is found on each page followed by a short explanation and a scripture. On the opposite side is a reflection page to provide the reader an opportunity to write down thoughts and insights about the "sermon." With this approach, the reader must “seek to find” the mysteries of life expressed on each page and how these revelations show up in everyday living.

Along with this colorful showcase of Peter Sanderson's masks are brief narratives of each mask’s creative process and composition.

This is a continuation of Jo-Lo's stories to Heather Brown when she was eight years old and terribly lonely. To cheer her up, Jo-Lo told her many stories, of which this is the second group. It is better to read the first story because so much of what happens here depends upon the previous stories, including how the Prince came to meet the Princess and his problems with Lord Raisinkatz and how he went about solving them.

My job, as the author, is to repeat Jo-Lo's stories as best I can, hoping Heather will allow me to make some mistakes in the telling, without getting too exasperated. I tried to remember how Jo-Lo spun these adventures to her, but it was confusing how Olivia, Jasper, Raisinkatz, Gwyn-o-cheri and her Prince kept changing so much from what I guessed they were going to do to what they actually did.

What I'm saying is this: It may not have happened quite as exactly as it did, but it's awfully close.

Young reader comments:
"I Love to read your books. YOU gave me happyness. Love: Sarah C."
"I think you should do more books because the Princess and the Beggar is GREAT!!!!! Because I think you are a awesome writer." —Shannon

Wildlife researcher Judy Berg combed the Colorado River while tracking a once state-endangered species, the North American River Otter, in its natural habitat. Her experience resulted into a story that blends researched facts, personal photographs, interpretive illustrations, descriptive poems, Native American folklore, firsthand observations and narration—a blend that elevates this natural history to a class of its own.

The author's research led her on a 6-year pilgrimage following the tracks and scat, slides and tail-drags of this spirited animal on the Colorado River in the Rocky Mountains. From season to season, year to year, she documented a life's journey in Nature while connecting with native American spirituality.

With a curious mind and the gift of a medicine bag, Judy Berg journeys into the otter's world and returns with a venturous natural history story called "The Otter Spirit" to share with mankind.

Dale Gilbert Caldwell has dedicated his spiritual life to studying Galatians 5:22-23. He has been a frequent writer and speaker about the elements of the “Fruit of the Spirit.” Dale is a Lifetime Member of the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada who believes that both hymnody and Galatians 5:22-23 are important parts of religious tradition that have not received the widespread recognition that they deserve.

This book of poetry and hymns was written to fill that void. Dale’s hope is that this book will inspire people to think about the importance of each element of the Fruit of the Spirit in their lives. He believes that this inner reflection will help readers experience a spiritual transformation.

Dale comes from a family of religious leaders from different Protestant traditions. His great-great-great-great-grandfather, Bishop Morris Brown, was the second Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church and the namesake of Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia. Dale’s great-great-grandfather, Reverend James Asa Brown, was a distinguished senior pastor in the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His grandfather, Reverend Gilbert Haven Caldwell, was a nationally recognized pastor in the Methodist Church. Dale’s father, Reverend Gilbert Haven Caldwell, Jr., has been an international leader of the United Methodist Church on issues of civil rights and social justice.

“I guess today is killing day around here.”

Outlaw Ike McGraft was a giant of a man, meaner than a new-made steer. He was so big his horse looked little, and he wore a bright green derby with a red feather stuck in it.

McGraft told his gang he was wearing the green derby because the green stands for his Irish blood and the red feather for his Kiowa blood . . . and no one lives laughing at his hat.

These no-good outlaws and cattle rustlers set up an ambush to wipe out the Texas Rangers and Clay Strong.

Based on the historic Battle of Lost Valley, the story captures the early Texas times with suspense, adventure, and Western justice.

“Just stand right there where you are and maybe you’ll live a little longer!” The barrel of the old man’s shotgun waved in front of Texas Ranger Clayborne Strong and his Cheyenne scout Charley Swift Hunter.

“Two folks was murdered down on the creek yisterdee and you two could’ve done it!”

The Ranger felt shocked hearing that a lady died being cut up. But add to it that a man of the badge was murdered too! It was all so terrible.

Being accused of the double murder did not settle well with Clay Strong. Although he and his Indian partner rode into Dakota Territory to find some gold, he soon found himself replacing the murdered deputy to help find that serial killer.

His efforts were disrupted with suspicion, vigilantes, and prejudice as the Devil’s Eye looked on . . .

“I don’t understand how or why I made it through alive.”

At most, a person was allowed to live for 90 days. If someone was lucky enough to last that long, the person was then executed—to be replaced by one of thousands of constant arrivals, who would, in turn, be executed in three months. Benjamin Samuelson is one of few survivors of the Auschwitz Sonderkommando.

This is Benjamin’s story—from his happy childhood in Rumania to the horrors of four Nazi concentration camps to the Israeli struggle for independence—a story of historical significance; countless miracles; and the will to live, with abiding hope, to tell the world of what he had witnessed.

A friend should be radical;
They should love you when you’re unlovable,
Hug you when you’re unhuggable,
And bear you when you’re unbearable.

A friend should be fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry too.

But most of all, a friend should be mathematical;
They should multiply the joy, divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past, add to tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep in your heart,
And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.
—AUTHOR UNKNOWN

A friend named Brenda sent this poem to Dot Kirschke, encouraging the author to put her heartfelt feelings in writing. And so, It’s About Friends came to be . . . a book to be shared with those who have friends, want friends, and are friends.

“Keuterville is Keuterville, and claims a booming population of about 52 people, 15 dogs, about 20 cats, and numerous unmentionables. It is here I call home,” writes Delbert (Clem) Nuxoll.

Here are stories and poems from an ordinary country boy, born and raised in a small house with no electricity but a warm wood stove and family. The author and his youngest sister Myrna write about their 206-acre farm with chickens in the yard, pigs making hogs of themselves, cows and horses, cats and dogs; butchering and harvesting; pocketknives and rifles; railroad trestles and swimming holes; hunting and fishing; and all kinds of trouble that a country boy can’t avoid . . .

“My poetry is focused on nature, our relevance in the universe, and the meaning of time. Words and phrases, expressed in a disciplined style, may convey emotion or create mental images blending into the life experiences of others. Therein lies the measure of an author’s work.”

An inspirational biography . . . Grace Jones, artist, designer, and interior decorator, notable not so much for what she discovered of color, beauty, and balance as for how she used her talent. From her base in the Pacific Northwest, she chose clients of diverse natures and helped them achieve the harmony they sought. Along the way, they shared insights, understanding, and lots of laughter. Many lives were enlarged.

Grace was born in the Victorian era of British parents. In childhood, she almost lost herself under pressure to live dutifully and selflessly. She recovered with the help of her adventurous yet wise mother who showed her how to combine creed and creativity. Support came, too, from a man uniquely devoted to her for 65 years.

Nobody saw more clearly how Grace touched many lives than her niece and adopted daughter M.G. Bassett, the author of this book.

In searching for the answer to "Now what?" Martin Z. Mkize uses a wide range of images: the Statue of Liberty, tears, money, diamonds, valentines, big fish in small ponds, cab drivers, the African jungle, the wedding day, and basketball. The comparisons go on and on.

However, he warns about being fooled by some "lousy metaphors" and invites you "to stick around" to see how Martin the Great loves and cherishes the existence of noble life.

His philosophical messages of culture and origins, of notions and motions are serious and important; however, with a subtle style, his humor will make you chuckle with joy, affirmation, and stars in your eyes.

In his poem "There Are Days, or There Will Be Days" Martin concludes: "But what must I say now? I said it all. No way, I am not saying any more!"

After reading an authentic Capricorn’s answer to life and happiness, you will say, "I can see!" without having to say any more because you too will have caught a star.

There she was, a 40-year-old widow and the mother of the bride (their only child), all alone to deal with life and the furniture store business that she and her husband had built together.

This is a manual, not a textbook, of living with a severe manic-depressive illness. It's a life and death story, divided into three parts of survival and burning alive. The text may be found disturbing and offensive to some readers; nonetheless, this is a real life account from a manic-depressive. The author's purpose, besides saving his own life, is to use his 33 years of manic-depression to educate and support those who face the same chronic problems. Professionals and psychology students may find this a useful handbook. With a literary touch, this author's account is a genuine case study that stands alone on its own merit.

Make no mistake. War is not fun. When a son asked fifty years later about the Korean War, his dad responded by writing the poem "From the Beach to the Reservoir." The realities described in this poem are harsh, and the only way to cope is with humor as the authors express in "the other heroic events." The comical style somewhat helps relieve the pain of war. "The events are humorous," comments co-author Kal Kalnasy. "They were meant to be. If the humor offends someone, I'm sorry. But I'm not sorry for writing about it." Included are 20 Korean War photos from the Marine Corps University Research Archives. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.

The collection of "noodling" and photos is a result of the author's recovery period after receiving an implantation of a mechanical heart device. She is the first woman to have received this model device.
