History

<p>The setting is a quaint village on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, in the spring and summer of the year 1956. Teenage antics, romance and mishaps provide humor and tension as Dicky pursues his goal of accomplishing a three-day backpacking solo trip in the mountains to prove his manhood, a family tradition going back many generations. Major characters from three different generations make this more than a teen book. Dicky's grandfather provides wisdom based on his Native American heritage. Senior Citizens will not only relate to the Town Elders but also find themselves reminiscing about how things were back in the middle of the twentieth century. Dicky's boyhood crush, Patsy, offers a feminist viewpoint through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old girl with a strong yet delightful personality. Her summer job as a dock jumper, delivering mail to the island residents, expands the story to a girl's coming of age as well. The hunting, fishing, boating and backpacking adventures will appeal to adventurers of all ages.</p>

<p>My love of nature and the outdoors was instilled in me by my parents at an early age and has been a positive force throughout my life. My hope is to awaken curiosity and creativity in young children by introducing them to nature through a variety of interactive programs designed to stimulate their senses. Children are encouraged to participate and explore. What starts as a walk becomes a journey for a lifetime. Everyone deserves a Ditty Day!</p>

The Sun God's Heir: Redemption (Book Three)

Death is not life's final stop. There are worse ends.   Two brothers, once disciples of the Pharoah Akhenaten, reincarnate in seventeenth century France. From Spain to Morocco to Egypt, one is determined to rule, the other to protect.  Horemheb, driven to destroy his brother and end their ancient rivalry, invites an African shaman to assist in recovering ancient artifacts of power that will ensure his dominance. Twice before, these artifacts have raised and then destroyed civilization.  The other, RenÉ Gilbert, escapes from the murderous sultan of Morocco, closely followed by the sultan's personal guard, the Bukhari. Trained from childhood, these assassins live to kill.  Now, in the blockbuster conclusion to the Sun God's Heir trilogy, RenÉ must find a way to fulfill a commitment made lifetimes ago. His long journey across the ages hurtles toward its climax, with the fate of his soul, and perhaps our very world, in the balance.

Immediately after the end of our war with Japan the US Army wanted to bring worn-out Pacific veterans home quickly. To replace them and carry out the American occupation the Army continued its draft, shortening the mostly teenage recruits' basic training from seventeen weeks to eight. John Edwards was one of the young men who were rushed through the program and loaded onto boats bound for Yokohama. His camp was sixty miles north of Tokyo. His battalion's usual complement of three hundred men had been reduced to eighteen enlisted men and a few officers. Here is an inside view of the creative and disciplined way General MacArthur handled a powder keg situation -- and the stories of several propaganda-influenced young Americans who found themselves, after insufficient training, occupying a strange, ancient, and exhausted land.
