Getaway Day

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
– Jewish Proverb
Mikey Wright is a normal 13-year-old. With normal problems. Until the day he finds out his dad has cancer. Getaway Day chronicles Mikey's journey to save his father's life and learn the meaning of his own. His journey to help his father takes him from the safety and security of his home town to Anaheim, Chicago, and back down Route 66. Along the way, he's helped by some ordinary and extraordinary folks. Each one has something to teach Mikey about fathers and sons, growing up, family, and home.
His efforts are thwarted at every turn, until Mother Nature steps up to the plate. When a freak storm deluges the Bay Area and forces postponement of the 1962 World Series and makes it impossible to practice in nearby San Francisco, the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants make arrangements to work out in nearby Modesto. Mikey is inches from making his father's dream come true when an encounter with his high school arch-nemesis threatens to ruin all of his work. Join Mikey as he learns selflessness and the power of believing. He discovers that expectations aren't real, loneliness is absolute, change is inevitable, and laughter is essential. Ultimately, he learns that growing up means letting go.
What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others is, and remains, immortal.
– Albert Pike

In 1941-42, Archie Campbell was a lieutenant in the "Sparrow Force," the 300 men of the 2/2nd Independent Company in a 14-month campaign of ambushes and hit-and-run tactics which effectively pinned down more than 15,000 Japanese troops in East Timor. This book recounts the bloodless Australian landing in Portuguese East Timor, military actions against the Japanese, and eventual evacuation to Darwin. Central to Campbell's experience is the ambush and execution of a section from his platoon, shortly after the Japanese landing in Dili. In 1973, Archie returned to East Timor to meet Barana, the East Timorese man who, as a 12-year-old boy, helped and protected him during the campaign. Each Timorese boy who helped a commando and guarded him while he slept, was called that commando's criado. Ken White accompanied Archie in the 1973 journey to East Timor to find Barana. He has used excerpts from Archie's own diary to tell the story of their first meeting after 30 years. Historical background on the centuries of Portuguese rule, the Japanese occupation and the more recent Indonesian invasion and incorporation add to the value of this book as another chapter in the Australia-East Timor story.

During the past decade, various forms of convenience stores, known as campus convenience stores--or c-stores--have come into their own. There are now an estimated 1,200 campus c-stores with predictions of more than 5,000 stores on campus by the turn of the century. If you are planning to open or improve an existing c-store, why not save yourself time, energy, and cost. Let two of America's most respected authorities bring you up-to-date on one of higher education's most exciting student service concepts and on of its least understood: Campus Convenience Stores. Here, at last, is the first complete guide to this important new development. It brings you the latest and most successful profit planning, merchandising, inventory control, physical planning, and equipment to make c-stores work. It explains the kind of services, sidelines (non-food items), hours of operation, and management required to succesful and profitably operate the unique kiosk, mini, maxi, and super c-stores described. In the Campus Convenience Store Planning Manual, you'll have all the information you need at your fingertips. You'll learn for example: The impact of site c-store location on student safety in urban settings. Characteristics of campus c-stores. Merchandise gross margin analysis, merchandise planning, operating, and cash plans. Top six volume product classifications, gross margin, standard food classifications. Popular fast food classifications and gross margins, refrigerated and frozen food classifications. Investment requirements to build and inventory mini, maxi, and super c-stores. Industry sales volume guidelines. Housekeeping planning check list. Campus c-store planning and design, store architecture of "down and dirty", generic, and up-scale campus stores is fully explained. Equipment selection and options to control cost presented. Franchising, a more cost effective alternative to leasing campus c-stores is described. And much, much more!

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, "God is dead." In short, he is not so much dead as irrelevant to modern, self-actualized, successful humanity. In his irrelevance, God is no longer feared, respected or trusted. In this state he is incapable of bringing fulfillment, purpose, and meaning to one human soul.   Or is he?  After exiling God to the far reaches of human existence, we have found that purpose, meaning, and fulfillment aren't so easy to come by. Furthermore, we have found that once banished, God is impervious to our edicts and demands. He will not be forced to appear in the courts of human reason so we can question the nature of his being, his essence, his desires. He will not submit to our cross-examinations concerning his intentions and then decide whether he is worthy of our allegiance.  Identity Theft seeks to re-discover the Living God who is beyond us but became us so we might know and walk in intimacy with him. It is straight talk about disappointment, freedom, obedience, experience, and perspective. In this age of damaging consumerism, it attempts to rise above the clamor of rampant self-gratification and clearly say, "God's not dead. He's just not in the place we put him." Reclaim your true identity in Christ and be set free to live the life God has for you!

That Happiness Thing: A Hometown Fable is a children’s book that poses the age-old question, “What is happiness?” Which is what a 10-year-old boy from a small California town wants to know. It’s 1958. Christmas is just around the corner. His family isn’t happy and he doesn’t know why. So he sets out to explore his home town and find out. With a little help from an elderly gentleman and a magical snow globe, he discovers that true happiness isn’t about having the most of everything, but making the most of everything you have. When his journey is finally complete, he learns that That Happiness Thing is home and family. That Happiness Thing is a bit of a hybrid, with elements of a children’s picture book and chapter book. I envision it as an illustrated short story for children and adults, similar to Nate the Great. Its look and feel is not unlike The Christmas Wish by Lori Evert and Per Breiehagen, Knuffle Bunny Free by Mo Willems, and The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. Although the story is very specific to one small town, I believe it could be easily tailored to any town in the country.
