Poetry. These love poems are unusual for their sense of moving between cultures, their awareness of physical space as articulated by the intersection of human beings, the land, and architectural structures. Love itself is now game, sport, speed-time, dance, performance, now contract, conflict, failure, but always a shifting structure of relation.

A young journalist covering the fall of Saigon A desperate woman willing to sacrifice to save her child Thousands of children awaiting rescue An ex-Marine physician devoted to their care... Together, they discover the meaning of love in the midst of despair. Mel Ames isn’t someone who believes in fate. In fact, she isn’t sure she believes in anything—except her own wits, her powers of observation and her pen. After covering antiwar demonstrations and political stories as an undergraduate at Columbia University, she talks her way into an assignment as a stringer for Newsweek and boards a plane bound for Saigon. She keeps her hair short and her shirts loose. In her right pocket she stows her notepad and a ballpoint pen; in the left, a pack of Marlboros that she empties every day. She also keeps a low profile, as much as she can as a young woman in an Asian war zone. People trust her: bar girls in the noisy clubs that line the teeming alleys of the city; shopkeepers; Navy lieutenants running river operations in the Delta; and South Vietnamese army officers who talk to her over a beer and a cigarette. She sees the war through their eyes, takes her notes back to the room she rents above a tea shop and types her stories. By 1975, Vietnam is under her skin. Her pulse beats to the singsong rhythm of its language. But in the mounting panic and confusion of impending loss as Saigon is about to fall, Mel knows it is time to go. But she also knows that she has one more story to write—a story that will change not only the lives of the thousands of children in Vietnamese orphanages who need to be rescued, but her own life as well.

Some cracked hearts mend ... and some implode. For the residents of a usually quiet and peaceful neighborhood, life is about to change. Beneath the peaceful and seemingly law-abiding veneer lurks danger, violence, and a festering web of interconnected secrets, lust, and betrayal. Everyone has a secret, tucked away in a private place in their minds, safe from discovery. But dark forces at play will pry open these mental vaults, and soon no one's privacy will be protected. Hearts will shatter, lives will end, relationships will fall apart, and paranoia will sweep the shadows. Some will find perverse thrill in a forbidden love, and others will pay the price for it. Some will move from obsession to violence, and no one's life will be quite as logical as it was before. Every person who touches the life of another leaves a mark. Can neighbors Stephanie, John, and Meg help Ron, Hayley, and Dan conquer their inner demons in time? And will they ever learn the identity of the killer in their midst? Can Zach and Blythe's love survive the trauma? Does love truly conquer all--or does it destroy it?

This is the story of Professor Edgar Pelion who creates a replicator. He finds more than a way to clone people. He finds proof of a single universal soul. Edgar gets more than he bargains for when he realizes that people under hypnosis speaking languages, accurately recounting things are not demon possessed, but have a recollection of their former life. He makes an exact copy of himself. He has an empathic link to the clone. He can feel what the replicant is feeling. It turns its gaze and the eyes lock. It is like a lightning bolt, as they each know what the other is thinking. He freezes in fear as the other becomes aware that he will have to destroy it. We are people born again and again in overlapping cycles. Each person around us is simply us living in another parallel cycle of time. The population grows because there are more numerous parallel loops as time goes on. Edgar learns that heaven and Hell are right here on Earth. We make our own destiny every day. What we do to others we do to ourselves in another cycle, of our lives. We truly reap what we sow. Sister Theresa saved millions. Adolf Hitler destroyed millions. In the end we each save or destroy ourselves, sometimes we do it over and over to ourselves. I am Edgar Pelion and I am home now, enjoying all three Megan’s I have replicated. They are a joy in my life, for now, but once in a while I see them, heads together, speaking in whispers, and looking over at me. I feel a chill. Ancient wisdom speaks to me from the Book of Numbers (Numbers 23:23), but this time the bell tolls for me. Edgar, what hast thou wrought?

This is the true story of Captain Fletcher E. Adams and the famous 357th Fighter Group. Known collectively as the “Yoxford Boys” the 357th was the first P-51 Mustang fighter group in the history of the “Mighty” 8th Air Force. Although active for less than two years during World War II, the group set many records and became one of the greatest fighter outfits the U. S. Air Force would ever send into combat. Between February 1944 and April 1945 the 357th produced more aces than any other American fighter group. They also shot down more German jets than any other group in the Army Air Corps during the Second World War. On January 14, 1945, a day that will forever be known as “The Great Rat Race” and “The Big Day”, the 357th Fighter Group shot down 55 1⁄2 German fighters in just over two hours setting a record in military aviation that has never and probably will never be broken. Among the members of this amazing group of fighter pilots were: Chuck Yeager, Bud Anderson, Kit Carson, John England, and others destined for fame. So was Captain Fletcher E. Adams, a native son of the small village of Ida, Louisiana. Then, on May 30, 1944, Adams, the leading ace of the 357th Fighter Group with 9 kills to his credit, was shot down over Tiddische, Germany and murdered by civilians on the ground. This is their story as told by the pilots through their books, diaries, and interviews with the author. Theirs was an adventure never to be matched again in the annals of aviation history. Find out what it was really like to go “to war with the Yoxford Boys”! “This book gives us the best insight into a tragic causality of WW II and the mystery of what happened to Captain Fletcher E. Adams. Joey Maddox’s use of other voices, quotes and investigative interviews make the story interesting. You’ll not only learn about Fletcher Adams but also the history of the 357th Fighter Group. I found the use of Adams’ personal diary, an illegal practice in wartime, particularly interesting to learn of his personal feelings during his training and combat.” Clarence E. “Bud” Anderson Colonel, USAF Ret.
