Book excerpt: From the battlefield at Gettysburg to the Oklahoma City block where the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building once stood, sites of violence and tragedy have left indelible marks on the American landscape. Some have become places of pilgrimage, where visitors mourn losses, learn lessons from the tragedy, and experience renewal. Others became empty places where nothing remains to commemorate or even to mark the occurrence. In this pioneering book, Kenneth E. Foote explores how and why Americans have memorialized--or not--the sites of tragic and violent events. Drawing on years of travel and reflection, he traces the history of sites spanning three centuries and every region of the United States. Foote deduces that Americans usually react to the scenes of tragedy in one of four ways. Many places undergo public sanctification, such as Memphis' Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated. Some are simply designated with a marker, while others are rectified and returned to normal use. Those that produce shame and revulsion are often obliterated and left empty. These differing reactions to sites of violence offer an important new perspective to the debate over violence in American society.

Book excerpt: When Zoe Read decides that having sex in the local woodlands was a good idea to lift her relationships ailing sex life, little did she realise that she was being watched. This watcher, though, was no ordinary voyeur. The shadow figure she sees while having her fun is going to change her life beyond her wildest dreams. The shadow figure, a dark malevolent featureless outline of a human, has been tracking her. Waiting, and timing the arrival to this very moment in Zoe’s life. The future is coming. A future that has set the Earth as Zoe knows it on its extinction day. Many things have been going wrong with society. Many things that the Others believe they can change for the better of humanity, but not humanity for the good of all. A humanity that is set to realign a path that has now been broken. John Oaks has discovered a signal from a rogue satellite. His life is one of paranormal investigations and so far, he has found nothing more interesting that a plume of smoke he believes is a visitation from another world. The signal he had discovered will be way beyond his comprehension as his investigation takes on a new level of understanding as the military takes over what he thought was something he had control over. Sergeant, and a professor, Sam Steel is head of the investigation team for the military, as John soon discovers when he is kidnapped. Their connections are strong, and they somehow know each other but not of this timeline, a timeline they know they must have been linked together somehow. With a new understanding and the seriousness of what he learns, his life also spirals out of this world to become another cog in the machine of the universe. A portal so advanced becomes his nemesis and his best friend as the team he has now assigned to discover how far the Others will go to retain the path the Earth is set to follow. Some things in life are meant to be discovered. Other things, well…knowing when to walk away is not so easy when you are a human of form! With timelines interfering with the Earth’s destiny and the Others racing to undo all that has been set in motion, an Earth end date is looming, and a race begins to save the planet and the billions of lives that are set to be destroyed in this science fiction thriller.

But all requests come with a price and Eda bargains away the soul of her best friend in exchange for the crown. Years later, her hold on the empire begins to crumble and her best friend unexpectedly grows sick and dies. Gnawed by guilt and betrayal, Eda embarks on a harrowing journey to confront the very god who gave her the kingdom in the first place. However, she soon discovers that he’s trapped at the center of an otherworldly labyrinth and that her bargain with him is more complex than she ever could have imagined. Set in the same universe as Joanna’s debut, Beneath the Haunting Sea, Beyond the Shadowed Earth combines her incredible world building and lush prose with a new, villainous lead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is an attempt to address and unify the common difference between people of different ethnicities, backgrounds, and faiths from a spiritual and, to some degree, practical perspective, which is reflected in the subtitle “A Little Bit of Me, a Little Bit of You,” implying that the pains, disappointments, joys, frustrations, birthdays, celebrations, and deaths are all relevant in that each are common to every human being regardless of geographical location political affiliation, ethnic background, or educational environment. However, in the opinion and experiences of the author, the willingness and ability to manifest an act of understanding as manifested in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ has proven to be an effective method of helping without hindering the efforts of many whose desire is to better the environment in which we live, especially when attempted in an environment of sincere, unconditional love.
