A Day of Infamy Revisited

Tragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.

The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not.

People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one’s life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.

A Guide to Writing a Capstone Public Policy Report

In my 10 plus years of teaching, I have found that students struggle with two major challenges in writing a quality capstone paper. First, they have difficulty creating a rigorous analytical framework. Too often, the papers tend to be more descriptive in nature, which means that the final policy recommendation may be flawed. This book attempts to fill that gap by discussing in detail the various components of the framework as well as their interdependence. Second, most public policy books are theoretical or conceptual, but it is difficult for students to make the transition from understanding the concepts to performing the actual quantification of the metrics so necessary to do the analysis. This book provides detailed instructions on how to do the quantification.

Mr. Higgins then discovers what love and acceptance genuinely are.Also available:Mr. Higgins Takes a StandMr. Higgins to the RescueAbout Mr. Higgins:In 2014, the authors David Preece and Jim Webber adopted a black Scottish terrier who was a shy, nervous, and somewhat suspicious mid-life rescue dog. ‘Mr. Higgins’ (the fitting name he came to us with) gradually emerged from his shell and enjoyed his new life in his forever home. Still, on guard with most strangers, Mr. Higgins learned to return love while protecting his home and keeping his dads to their daily routines. Not a fan of pats on the head, ‘Higgins’ prefers a light touch on his sides and burrowing into a safe space. He loves walks, other dogs, treats, and – as a born outfielder – plays fetch.

A Journey Within Us

Life is complicated. As you delve deeper into your emotions and confront your fears, a certain sense of understanding evolves, fostering personal growth. Adversity often breeds creativity and strength; you just need to be prepared to open your heart and soul to the truth.

In this book of poetry, I expose my deepest, most personal thoughts to anyone who decides to read. The main work evolved from waking during the night and contemplating the river, trees, and birds at the bottom of the property where I lived. I entered a realm in my mind that had developed from a young age, where the intricate details of life – people, animals, plants, ideas, creativity, questions – fascinated me.

Music has always been a great solace for my mind, heart, and soul. Listening to some of the classic songwriters, I have always been amazed by the craft of their lyrics. I often dreamed of being a songwriter, finding incredible freedom in expressing thoughts and feelings on a day-to-day journey.

A Kind of Cousin

A Kind of Cousin is a daring collection of short stories by Suenel Bruwer-Holloway that whisks readers on a journey through the raw and unapologetic facets of human experience. Like a fresh breeze, blowing irreverently through old taboos, sweeping away the cobwebs of political correctness, Holloway shatters the confines of political correctness, delving into the resilient and complex spirit that pulses through her homeland, a place of beauty, sorrow, and resilience.From the wily old woman in ‘The Statistic’, cleverly hoarding her exit from this world, to the candid wisdom of a child in the titular ‘A Kind of Cousin’, and the unflinching gaze cast upon society’s underbelly in ‘The Healer’, these stories are as provocative as they are enlightening. ‘The Right Therapist’ delivers a satirical jab at the mental health profession, while ‘Horseflesh’ pays homage to the enduring spirit of an old donkey, a symbol of unyielding courage in the face of adversity.Strap in and prepare to be swept off your feet as Bruwer-Holloway tackles subjects often muffled by societal discomfort—farm murders, religious zealotry, the deep-rooted connections of the Afrikaner people to their land, and the poignant realities of aging and death. A Kind of Cousin promises a literary escapade that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

A Man's World

A Man’s World tells the tragic story of the Martins, a family destroyed by domestic abuse and its shattering consequences. This vivid portrayal of domestic turmoil illustrates how dysfunction can rob even the most innocent of fulfilling lives, asking where the bystanders were who could have made a difference.

It opens as teenagers Janet and Craig find young love before Craig shows his dark side at the senior prom. Their toxic relationship spirals into a marriage as cruel and domineering as Janet’s own parents. The story bears witness to the terror in which Janet, Craig, and their three children live under Craig’s dictatorship. They could have been a family who played ballgames and went on picnics; instead, they endured Craig’s insatiable thirst for control until it ultimately killed him.

Emerging from the wreckage is a very different Katie than the carefree little girl she once was. Tormented by her father and neglected by her mother, Craig’s behavior molded Katie into a resentful woman obsessed with revenge against domineering men. To prevent others from suffering her mother’s fate, Katie will go to any length necessary… even kill.
