Tears of Love

Everybody wants freedom. Every nation seeks it. Every organization demands it. The press, too, fights for its freedom. From the Garden of Eden to the present day, the quest for freedom has continued unabated. Yet, no one has ever truly defined what freedom is, making it a deeply subjective concept.

The British press is one of the freest and most powerful in the world, but its perception of freedom is its own. When press freedom collides with the idea of perceived press freedom in an era of political correctness, the consequences are profound. This book delves into that very collision, exploring its impact on society and media integrity.

A must-read for anyone interested in the power of the press, this book reveals how the British media shapes, influences, and even alters public perception.

In today’s world, information is everything. The speed at which it flows has transformed the world into a global village. But what happens when that flow is controlled, manipulated, or misunderstood? This book seeks to answer that question.

Mensajes Secretos y Profecías escondidas de la Santísima Virgen MaríaDesde 1846 hasta el día de hoy, el Vaticano ha mantenido el mismo mensaje traído del Cielo por diferentes mensajeros a través del tiempo y a través de vastas distancias y continentes. Este mensaje se haee eco de las más graves amonestaciones y llama a la humanidad a convertirse y a encontrar refugio a través del conocimiento de la verdad, que hoy amenaza la base misma de la paz mundial.Hoy, en 2024, el mensaje de La Salette, La Fraudais, Tilly, Fátima, Garabandal, Akita y Medjugorje, y sus secretos adquieren un significado de la mayor importancia, ya que las admoniciones lanzadas por la Santísima Virgen María advierten de un cataclismo mundial que ya es inminente. La aprensión de la Iglesia a asustar a las masas, la inacción inspirada y la decisión de Roma de silenciar—fundada en el miedo más que en la prudencia—condujeron a millones de fieles a la oscuridad de la ignorancia y, por tanto, a la falta de la necesaria conversión, oracíon e intercesión por la paz.Este libro propone desvelar la luz y, así, pedir a la humanidad que responda a la llamada de una madre cálida y amorosa que sólo busea la salvación de sus hijos.

Everything Passing By

Sebastiane Bassett’s life in the French Foreign Legion is exactly what he needs to be in order to cope with what he is. Things change when a mission in Africa goes horribly wrong, and he loses his mentor and the anchor to his present reality. Unable to cope with another loss in his life, he seeks clarity from his grandfather, Maurice Renault.

What an incredible journey! But just how much more can it possibly entail?

I hope my autobiography will captivate you, offering both entertainment and insight. So, join me on this remarkable voyage – one that has been fun, peculiar, overwhelming at times, but always deeply educational. Life has taught me plenty, and along the way, I’ve encountered unforgettable characters – some amusing, some obscure, but all leaving their mark. Their names have been changed to protect both the innocent and those who will never be innocent.

To be brief: I was born in England, raised in northern Italy and Sicily, then found myself in the Bronx. My journey took me across vast oceans, through the war in Vietnam, into the depths of drug addiction, and finally, toward a steady path of rehabilitation. And there is still so much more to tell.

So, ride with me. And don’t let the Japanese title baffle you – believe me, it will all make sense in the end.

The Image Maker

In 1860, just a year after Drake’s historic first oil well, photographer John Mather arrived in Titusville, Pennsylvania, determined to capture the burgeoning oilfields, one glass negative at a time. From his makeshift darkrooms – one on a creek barge, another strapped to his wagon – he risked life and limb to preserve the history of the nascent petroleum industry.

General Charles Miller, alongside his wife, Adelaide, tirelessly cultivated relationships with the titans of this new era, becoming a major player himself. Even Andrew Carnegie took notice, only to withdraw when Miller’s personal indiscretions threatened his reputation.

Former cavalryman Patrick Boyle, a natural storyteller, chronicled the region’s explosive growth as editor of the Oil City Derrick. His experience as a roustabout in the oil fields and later as a daring oil scout after the Civil War made him uniquely suited to report on this worldwide source of oil production statistics and news.

Through the eyes of John, Patrick, and Charles – their families and their stories – a vivid portrait emerges of the oil boom and life in late 19th-century America. This is the story of how a rough-and-tumble stretch of Oil Creek in rural Pennsylvania fueled the world’s oil lamps, machinery, trains, and, eventually, automobiles.

Never Been Kissed

What do you do when all you have is your work to keep you going?

Christina Bell is a professional therapist with no social life to speak of. Her only vice is drinking. Her bartender is her closest friend. Her mother is the only one who ever calls. Christina has never thought of herself as lonely – maybe a workaholic, but never lonely. Still, something feels missing, and she can’t quite figure out what it is.

When two men suddenly enter her life and express interest in her, she’s caught off guard. She doesn’t want to be alone, but she’s also afraid of losing the routine and identity she has built around her work.

This is a story of self-discovery, of learning to listen to the heart and finding strength where she least expects it. Christina must face her fears, test her limits, and decide what kind of love – if any – she is willing to fight for.

Is it true that love comes and goes? Or is it something that stays with us, even when the person doesn’t? Because no matter how deeply you love someone, it doesn’t always make them stay.

Life moves on, with or without a happily ever after. So, in the meantime, let’s just enjoy the ride. Who knows, maybe something good will come of it.

From Lady Ralston's Kitchen

Lady Carolyne Lederer-Ralston is a creative cook by nature. She rarely uses cookbooks, preferring to develop her own original, no-waste recipes inspired by diverse sources and cultures, particularly European foodstuffs. Documenting her process with meticulous handwritten notes, some dating back decades, she recreates dishes later in her ‘spirit-filled kitchen’. She keeps copious handwritten notes while she cooks so she can return to the notes promptly to recreate the recipe in proper printed form. Some of her original recipes go back to the 1970s, long before “Gourmet” became the buzzword it is today.

A natural multi-tasker, she balanced a demanding full-time career with preparing full homemade meals daily. Planning and organization (mise en place) are vital to her approach, as is a well-stocked pantry. She includes practical hints within her recipes, and readers often say they feel she’s right there with them in the kitchen – a compliment Lady Ralston cherishes.
