A blind man and his guide dog show the power of trust and courage in the midst of devastating terror.It was 12:30 a.m. on 9/11 and Roselle whimpered at Michael’s bedside. A thunderstorm was headed east, and she could sense the distant rumbles while her owners slept. As a trained guide dog, when she was “on the clock” nothing could faze her. But that morning, without her harness, she was free to be scared, and she nudged Michael’s hand with her wet nose as it draped over the bedside toward the floor. She needed him to wake up.With a busy day of meetings and an important presentation ahead, Michael slumped out of bed, headed to his home office, and started chipping away at his daunting workload.

Until they went into the office.In Thunder Dog, follow Michael and his guide dog, Roselle, as their... Views: 33

SUMMARY:If there is one immutable feature in the social fabric of the American South, it is the telling of stories: giving a sense of place, traditions, family relationships, desires and hope. It has given rise to a unique blend of voices in American literature, an entire school of writing, rich and diverse, with its own peculiar imagery, grace, and eloquence. It is a place where the simple and the quaint rise from mere words on a page to a level of art. The stories in this collection echo with new voices, timeless and universal themes sure to strike a chord in the hearts of readers. Our only guideline was for our authors to contribute stories with a Southern theme. The diversity in styles, eras, and settings create a marvelous collection of Afternoon Tales we're sure you'll enjoy. The Gulf Coast Writers Association provides an arena for today's southern writers, and other writers of similar bent, to add their voices to this tradition. The Editors conceived this anthology in that spirit, encouraging new as well as established authors to share their voices. We hope y'all enjoy this second anthology from GCWA. - Philip L.

Max Quigley doesn't think he's a bully. He's an "observer". He observes the habits, interests and peculiarities of other people, which he then points out. A lot. Triffin Nordstrom isn't really all that clever. He's a nerd. He reads too many fat books, makes medieval seige machines out of Lego, and probably speaks fluent Elvish. Plus he lives way out in the bush with his mum, who he calls Ulrika. Max and Triffin. It's a match made in hell, and it's going to get uglier than a second-hand cheesecake. In this hilarious look at playground politics, James Roy has created the ultimate odd couple, two boys who don't see eye to eye, but have to, somehow. Views: 33
Beltane-it's celebrated on May 1, still a pagan holiday, which went on to be eclipsed by the Communist Bloc May Day celebrations. Because Beltane celebrations rarely made the news and when they did, it was with an uncomfortable communistic association, it has faded into the background and been largely forgotten. Until now. We at Hellfire Publishing propose to bring back Beltane in all its dark wonder, in this, our first anthology. You'll read terrifying tales of the holiday-and not just the way Americans celebrate it. Eerie Beltane customs from the world over are submitted here, as Mr. Rod Serling used to say, "...for your approval." What we want to know is... Can you approve of something while hiding under the covers? What was that noise? Is the house settling or was that a footstep? And who's that knocking at the door...at three in the morning? Listen, listen...was that the window sliding slowly upward in the spare room? The answers to these questions and many more may be discovered in this anthology...but a word of caution... Don't ask a question that you really don't want the answer to. A portion of publisher proceeds from the sale of this E-anthology will go to the benefit of...St Jude Children's Research HospitalSome of the authors have opted to donate their shares as well to this more than worthy cause.
