This collection of poems is written from the perspective of a regular person who has something to say to the people he loves, to the world he relishes being in, but sometimes doesn't understand or agree with. Hopefully, it makes the reader think, smile, cry and even recognize a little bit of themselves in each of these little thoughts about the love and pain we experience every day throughout our lives.

An American tapestry is woven daily with the circulation of coins, and who better to tell our story than the currency that is most prolific yet incredibly underappreciated: the penny. “I absolutely love this book. I could not put it down until I read where the penny would land next and knew which fascinating and interesting people I was going to meet. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this is more than an adventure of a humble penny: we’re shown that “significance” is found in making an impact and difference in the lives of those around us.” Tom McConnell, longtime Division I and II Mens and Womens head college basketball coach “A Penny’s Thoughts helps us all to see the magical and divine parts of life through the perspective of one penny as it passess through the hands of many people on vastly different personal journeys. Its timely message is clear: if a penny can find out the true meaning of life, despite the hardships, we can too. A book for any age, A Penny’s Thoughts is sure to take you on an unexpected journey of your very own.” Kara Lawler, author of Everywhere Holy “A Penny’s Thoughts is beyond creative, well written and intriguing from the moment you start reading. The idea that a penny, or any object for that matter, could tell a story from their vantage point is so thought provoking. I kept finding myself asking, “What would a penny say about my life?” What would my story be? Very creative correlations made between a penny’s “life” and our own as well. I highly recommend this investment of time! Dan O’Leary, former Notre Dame and NFL tight end

This book argues that ‘deviance’ represents a central issue in neo-Victorian culture, and that the very concept of neo-Victorianism is based upon the idea of ‘diverging’ from accepted notions regarding the nineteenth-century frame of mind. However, the study of the ways in which the Victorian age has been revised by contemporary authors does not only entail analogies with the present but proves – by introducing what is perhaps a more pertinent description of the nineteenth century – that it was much more ‘deviant’ than it is usually depicted and perceived. Deviance in Neo-Victorian Culture: Canon, Transgression, Innovation explores a wide variety of textual forms, from novels to TV series, from movies and graphic novels to visual art. The scholarly and educational purpose of this study is to stimulate readers to approach neo-Victorianism as a complex cultural phenomenon.

THE FACES OF 266 Shocking! Vivid! Factual! Dramatic! Three young women, three friends in high school, three years after graduation, they reconnect. Meanwhile, three pregnancies, three mothers (two of them single), three decisions: birth, adoption, abortion, even suicide. From life-supporting pregnancy care centers to unethical, self-promoting counselors at abortion sites, these three women experience the everyday workings of abortion. They deal with the evil reality this right has caused. Daring! Hair-raising! Heart-wrenching! Gut-punching! Four thousand abortions are done every day in the USA. One every twenty seconds. "See" an abortion to learn who you are. Dare to face yourself and think. Dare to discover what you really believe about the gift of love in life and why. These three young, pregnant women grow up fast when forced to face the hard facts of life beyond oneself. Each mother asks her heart can she ever love anyone if she can't love her baby as herself. Two hundred sixty-six is the number of days from human conception to birth-this number no lover of life will ever forget to win the War for Life. These women soon understand for whom the bell tolls. They see how abortion affects every single one of us. They realize that no man is an island. Provoking! Soul-searching! Life-celebrating! Where there is life, there is hope. Where there is hope, there is love. Abortion is taking life. Giving life is giving birth. The Faces of 266 is the hard-hitting, emotionally charged eye-opener to the most unforgettable chapter in United States history that is still being written with the blood and bodies of American babies. This novel strikes a blow to the heart while joyfully celebrating every wonderful life revealed when true love is a baby. If you can't love a baby, you can't love anybody. "The book engaged me from start to finish, weighing heavily on me with reality and instruction to start and then moving me literally to tears of joy and victory at the end." --Rev. Dr. Christopher C. DeGreen, author of 60 Days of Praise! Devotional "The Faces of 266 presents sort of a mini-course in life-crisis management as the reader encounters the choices and consequences of the characters, the hidden motives of their advisors, and the powerful victory of embracing the call to love." -Ellen Marie Edmonds, author of Embracing Dementia-A Call to Love and of Cardiophany of the Sacred Heart-Divine Mercy in the Womb For news and updates go to [email protected]
