Comments and Solutions On Current Political and Social Problems by Raymond Weaver Comments and Solutions On Current Political and Social Problems by Raymond Weaver May 23, 2012 $1.00 46392 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Raymond Weaver has been in the newspaper business most of his life delivering newspapers door to door and at one time or the other has done everything from (A) accounting to (Z) making zinc engravings at newspapers he owned. Most of life he worked as editor, reporter and/or photographer for newspaper in several different states. Newspapers included general news newspapers, a society newspaper and a business newspaper from small to large circulation. As such he has met, interviewed and/or photographed everyone from Presidents and presidental candidates (some were elected some were not), the rich and famous to murderers and people who lived in squatter's shacks and lived off of the charity of others and all types inbetween. As such he has a wide variety of personalities from which to draw parts of characters in his fiction writing after several years of factual writing. No single fictional character is patterned after a single real persons but has traits of several people combined into one. He sees and writes about both the world as it might be as well as the way it is.

Author bio:
EXCELLENCE IN TWO AREAS of ministry has been achieved by a few; it has been a rare genius who has been so gifted in three areas, but to excel in four capacities would seem near impossible...but it has been done two or three times in history. Reuben Irvin Paddier is a classic example, for he was renown as an teacher, a youth leader, a and an author. Besides his obvious gifts in all these areas, he is also a man of prayer, a student of the Bible, and an outstanding personal soul-winner. It is said that he daily read the Bible, having a good working knowledge of old and new testament. Some students of church history feel he is promoting personal evangelism than any other one man since the days of the apostles. His prayer life has seldom been equaled in the annals of Christendom. One wonders if there has ever lived a man who did so many things well for Christ. One of his favorite phrases was, "I love to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

Leyendas Celtas de Galicia y Asturias by Eliseo Mauas Pinto Leyendas Celtas de Galicia y Asturias by Eliseo Mauas Pinto May 20, 2012 $1.99 29497 words Sample 33%
Author bio:
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I took knowledge of the Celtic world at the age of twenty motivated by my love of literary and musical subjects. Thanks to Janet & Robin Williamson (www.pigswhiskermusic.co.uk), and Irish harp champion Sylvia Woods (www.harpcenter.com), I began to incorporate, the melodies and knowledge of traditional techniques and instruments, focusing on the implementation of whistle and Gaelic harp. Ireland, with its legends and mythological cycle, lured me to cross the main gate of the Celtic world. Passion that lead me by 1985 to organize a Celtic Festival in Buenos Aires (historically the first took place in l960), as well as other cultural and musical activities within the Irish community living in Argentina, thereby developing an attitude because of the disregard on certain community sectors for their Celtic roots. Convinced of the need to create a center that would bring young people linked by inheritance and / or affection for their Celtic roots, in 1986 I participated as co-founder of the Celtic Association of Galician Pipers, crystallizing my longing for a Celtic awakening in South America . Identified with a deep pan-celtic commitment, studied the folklore and history of Ireland and its sister nations, Scotland, Wales, Brittany in Armorica, and Spanish celtic, Galicia and Asturias. Along with the Celtic group 'Poitín' belonging to this Association, I played the harp and whistles,and wrote some Gaelic poetry featuring a traditional projection of my own. In the year 1988 it was published in Spain my work' Correspondence between the Galician and Asturian Legends', a comparative test that parallels the grounds of Celtic folklore. This edition was done in Asturian language due to the management of the Celtic League de Asturias and the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Asturias. At the beginning of'90 and after several performances and a tour in Patagonia, for welsh communities settled in our country, 'Poitín' dissolves, leaving a testimony tape released independently in 1988, memorable for being the first of its kind in Argentina. Along with Manuel Castro I published in 1993 a book of poems called 'Celtic Legacy', a bilingual edition in Galician / Spanish, unprecedented, poems of own authorship and bardic styled. I took part as a co-founder of subsequent bands like 'Lenda Gwyn' and 'Duir', staying active with the latter about four years, and with whom O participated in the First and Second 'Keltoi' Celtic Festival ion Buenos Aires. In October l997, I performed soloist in the welsh 'Gorsedd' of Patagonia, Argentina, the first since 1910, where I was invited to join the Bardic Circle at the behest of the Welsh Community of Trelew. Later that month, I quit 'Duir' to pursue a solo project due to a proposal made by a record label in California, USA. This motivated me to meet other musicians of equal entity under a new name 'Bran', with whom I issued 'Awen', my debut CD album in July 1998. Performances led me to the Astros Theater, Opera, Margarita Xirgu, Pelayo, Auditorio de Belgrano and ND Ateneo; Irish Centers, Theaters, Pubs and located in Rosario, Pergamino, Junin and La Plata, to reach the status of beings the first Argentine to participate in the "Celtic The 5th Celtic Meeting" held in Santiago de Chile in November 2002 and in the "Primer Festival Celta" in Montevideo in March 2003. Solo performances w/ Gaelic harp led me to various audiences and emblematic places as the Argentine Theatre of La Plata & Tortoni Café in Buenos Aires. In the month of May 2003, the prestigious Galician folk group "Luar na Lubre" add music to one of my poems. This collaboration is crystallized in April 2004 with the inclusion of this piece on two tracks from the album "Hai un Paraiso" published under the label Warner Music Spain. Alongside Bran, I did participated as guest Musician of their South American tour, performing at the Opera Theatre in Buenos Aires on 12-7-04. Along with a friend musician , Gabriel Bollani, I developed in 2006/2007 a new Celtic musical project that combines virtual and acoustic sounds. Songs of love and hope, along with instrumentals experience a new hue under a new style which I decided to label as “New Celtic”. On September 2008 I created a blogsite of my own named "Celtic Sprite - My musical perspective on celtic roots and other works”. Music, culture and literature take place along with the collaboration of musicians and journalists from other countries. On January 2010 I created the Facebook Page “Amigos Celtas” A site intended to spread celtic culture and activities in Spanish, along with local and foreign co-equipers. On September 2011 I created the Facebook Page "Love of Rhiannon - The Celtic Moon Goddess".

Author bio:
Hilari Bell has been called the poster child for persistence. The first novel she sold was the fifth she'd written, and when it sold she was working on novel fourteen. She now has seventeen conventionally published novels with two more under contract, and is now branching into epublishing her backlist novels and her writing tips. She likes board games and "decadent" camping. (In a pop-up trailer with a space heater, a stove--even a toaster!)

She now has seventeen conventionally published novels with two more under contract, and is now branching into epublishing her backlist novels and her writing tips. She likes board games and "decadent" camping. (In a pop-up trailer with a space heater, a stove--even a toaster!)

Steven David Justin Sills is a poet, novelist, and scholar of great books of the Western Canon. Review from the Arkansas Gazette: Papyrus: An Eloquent Ode to Life's Many Gritty Moments by Amy L. Wilson Arkansas Gazette Little Rock, Arkansas April 1990 An American Papyrus Steven Sills The Chestnut Hills Press Poetry Series 63 pages; $6.95 paperback Twenty-six poems make up this first published book by Steven Sills, 26, of Fayetteville. Sills' vision is often a dark one. He writes of the homeless, the abused, the forgotten people. He is also intrigued with the mystical, the sensual/sexual, loss--as in losing those whom we hold dear, such as a spouse or lover--as well as the lost, such as someone who is autistic, who seems unreachable. Sills' skillful use of the language to impart the telling moments of a life is his strength. He chooses his words carefully, employing a well-developed vocabulary. He is thoughtful about punctuation, where to break lines and when to make a new stanza. He's obviously well versed in "great" literature. Sills' command of language helps to soften the blows of some of the seamier passages found in his poems. Seamy may not be the best word to use. Perhaps gritty is a better word or just plain matter-of-fact and to the point, as in this descriptive passage from "Oracion A Traves De Gasshole," about the hopeless feelings of a respiratory therapy worker: "With the last of the air drawing in/ Begins to fold its walls; and he could imagine it/ Like he could imagine from inexact memories/ The woman last night at the hospital, whom he began to like---/ Her body pulling cell by cell/ Apart before he had a chance to finish the rescue with the hose." The book begins with "Post-Annulment2" a poem with a poignant description of society's displaced--"As the sun blazes upon the terminal's/ Scraped concrete/The shelved rows of the poor men"--and continues by describing a city scene through the eyes of a maintenance worker at the Hilton Hotel. The protagonist's wife has left him and he is taking the bus to work that morning, his mind wandering as he looks for the key to why she is gone. "He rings the bell. / The idea of her not home and legally annulled/ From his life--her small crotch not tightened to his desperate thrusts/ Makes him feel sick. He gets down from the bus./ He goes to work. He suddenly knows that he is not in love." As many poets will do, Sills could not leave this work alone. So a hybrid of this poem, "Post-Annulment" ends the book. In it, he has kept many of the original lines and added parenthetical remarks to expand on his ideas. It is in this context he allows himself to comment on religion: "Religion is a lie! Everything is a lie!" and on marriage: "Marriage, that sanctified legal rape, fosters the child-man to be a destined societal function as he grows up in the family unit." Not all of the poems are so bleak and cynical in every passage, however, as is apparent in "The San Franciscan's Night Meditations": "The night is full of impulses to live and run and seep heavily into its dark robes of silence and morbid rightness." People who do not feel comfortable examining in detail the darker side of life--the the details that the average person overlooks because it just hurts or feels to strange to look--will not enjoy this book. Serious writers of free verse, contemporary poetry and/or those who study it will not be disappointed. Sills, a native of Missouri, is a recent graduate of Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield. He currently is working in Fayetteville. Sills dedicated his book to Mike Burns, a poet and teacher at SMSU who helped him edit his work.
