(30) From Woodward and Bernstein to Donald Trump: A Career

This book is a recounting of a profession that is on the downhill side of history. It's far too fashionable today for front offices to tell us that all we need is a better use of white space, color graphics, more features, and online bells and whistles to slow the decline. They seem impervious to the fact that there is nothing online that wasn't first gathered and compiled by a journalist. But the individuals preaching these tactics are not newspaper people. Newspapers today are run by ad and circulation department execs, "Bean Counters," whose first and only allegiance is to the bottom line and certainly not to the primary product of a newspaper, which is THE NEWS. The bean counter approach is, and always has been, to turn the newspaper business into just that--A BUSINESS--which according to the Constitution it was never meant to be. Bean counters' priority, as is their wont, is always the bottom line. And their adherence to that principle has surely adversely compromised the newsroom, causing staff to be cut to the bone and leaving journalists little more time than rewriting "news releases." The bean counters further compromise the product by stunting any attempt at newsgathering with a very real conflict of interest that comes from the advertising department personnel far too close and protective of those who are the subject of much of that news and who also contribute to that all-powerful bottom line.

12 Days of Cancer

We are all familiar with the 12 Days of Christmas which is symbolic of merriment and joy! 12 Days of Cancer is symbolic of the strength and tenacity to beat the disease coupled with real emotions during treatments and surgery. This book is meant to inspire and encourage others to know that there is hope. Kay’s journey took place during the COVID pandemic when a vaccine did not exist. She had to endure two surgeries; her fear of not waking up and having her husband be told, ‘your wife did not make it’ worried her heart as she was not able to hold his hand before going into the operating room. She could not imagine how he would convey that message to their kids. With that horrifying thought, she decided she was going to live. Her prayer to God was to grant her the opportunity to live, to have another chance to live the life he intended for her!

A Boy and His Comet: Dancing Through the Rain

In A Boy and His Comet: Dancing Through the Rain, we meet a young man facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Dismissed and discouraged by his high school counselor, he’s told that college is a far-fetched dream. His senior year becomes a survival challenge, living alone in the woods without basic amenities, grappling with the shame of his situation and the painful legacy of parental abuse he’s forced to keep hidden.

At 17, free from the constraints of his tumultuous home life, he is confronted with temptations — drugs, alcohol, and sex — testing his resolve to maintain his personal values. This book is a poignant tale of an American boy who, against all odds, breaks free from a cycle of dysfunction to chart his own course to extraordinary success, ultimately becoming a self-made millionaire.

A Boy and His Comet is an emotional journey that will take you through the full spectrum of feelings. You’ll share in his laughter and tears, marvel at his resilience, and cheer as he navigates the trials of his youth, self-finances his college education, finds love with a kindred spirit, and together, they build their own version of the American Dream. This story is more than a read; it’s an experience of hope, perseverance, and the unyielding power of the human spirit.

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 Herbal Healing

Despite conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals, there is a growing trend toward seeking more natural forms of healing and health maintenance. Pharmaceuticals can have harsh side-effects, and many times pharmaceuticals cannot be used to treat certain types of illness. For example, if someone has a viral infection, antibiotics cannot be used to treat that infection. I have worked with many patients with varying ailments and health concerns, treating them with natural or homeopathic remedies. From my experience working with these patients, it is evident that, when used properly and with insight, natural and homeopathic prescriptions can work as well or even better than conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals. This book is not meant to replace your family physician, but it is a guide to healthier living through wiser food consumption. I believe if people used naturopathic and homeopathic remedies, overall health would increase and the need to go to doctors, specialists, and surgeons would decline significantly. Here’s to a happy, healthy life; naturally.

A Message from a Mother's Heart

A Message from a Mother’s Heart is a compelling autobiography that chronicles the life of Ana Lydia, who grew up as one of five children in a border town in Sonora, Mexico. In the summer of 1977, Ana Lydia’s life takes a dramatic turn when her mother decides to uproot the family and move to California in search of a better life, and to reunite with their father.

However, Ana Lydia’s journey towards a brighter future is riddled with unexpected tragedies and setbacks that take a toll on her young life. Her life takes a rebellious and reckless turn as she grapples with the events that unfold before her.

A Rose Trampled

They are thieves of innocence, murderers of dreams, and administrants of nightmares. Rapists and pedophiles have no soul.

We’ve all had our family members watch our children from time to time—after all, they’re family. Once you’ve read A Rose Trampled: The Samantha Douglas Story, you will rethink about any family member keeping watch over your young children without you being present. I am a retired police officer after 23 years of service and have talked to countless women in my lifetime. Samantha Douglas’ true-life story is unlike any story I’ve ever heard.

Samantha had been sexually abused since the age of four. Doctors say maybe as early as two or three. She was thrown out of the house at the age of fifteen because of rebellion against her mother for not confronting her abuser, a mature male relative. She was homeless, severely depressed, and only had the clothes on her back.

Later, as an adult, Samantha finally found and married a man, and after several attempts at pregnancy, she had to bury five children. She divorced her husband—infidelity being the reason—and remarried, only to find out he was a murderer. Finally, she found true love and gave birth to her one and only child, Joshua. Joshua was a sick little boy and had major health problems. Then, without warning, her husband suddenly died.

Life’s thorns could have destroyed her, but instead, they made her stronger. So, if you think you’ve been to hell and back, just read A Rose Trampled: The Samantha Douglas Story. I promise you’ll change your mind.

A Story that Needs to Be Told

Should a woman experience spiritual events in her life, that give her undeniable proof the Heavens are real, that we are able to receive direction from those beyond the grave, it does not seem to be fulfilling the intent of the heavens to keep this knowledge to herself.

Should this same woman receive such encouragement from beyond to share her experiences with others, may she recount only the truth for others to interpret; whether the facts seem sensible, or leave one with more questions. She realizes anyone picking up this book has possibly had experiences of their own.

Should this same woman realize that she is just the messenger and that the stories have been provided by the heavens, deem it fair to acknowledge this fact, and donate one half of all proceeds to help others in need.

A Sword Over the Nile: A Brief History of the Copts Under Islamic Rule

“With Egypt’s Copts targeted as part of a bloody and systematic campaign of genocide against the ancient churches of the Middle East, Adel Guindy has produced a timely and authoritative account of their story. It deserves to be widely read.”
