The book Still Trudging is a follow-up of the book I Trudged and is a continuation of stories describing the author's life going from a path of almost certain death to a life without complaints or regrets. Changing the word trudged to trudging implies that the journey is an ongoing adventure, with still much to do. He describes a long process of recovery; for him, recovery was not a "one-and-done" event. The author paints a picture of his progress through a series of short stories. He ties together his personal experiences with the principles of recovery taught to him by those he met along the way.

Dear reader, You may have opened this book and began to read this page wondering; why is it titled “Trudging toward the Truth”? You may be wondering what this book is about, and why you should continue to read on... Well, I will say this, we have all battled darkness in our lives, in one way or another, we have all longed for the truth, and to say finding it isn’t painful, would be a lie. I believe that reading this collection of poems will, at the very least, help you begin your journey toward the truth and away from darkness and pain. If anything; you’ll read words that relate to how you’ve felt in some way, but could not even begin to express...Renee has been through more than anyone I know, and if I were asked to describe her, the first words that come to mind are “resilient” and “relentless.” Darkness casted its shadow upon her like a permanent jumbo umbrella before she could talk. Her mother gave her own life for Renee--I believe in a poor attempt--to make Renee’s better. And ever since then, the search for truth was nothing short of essencial. There’s a quote from a song that I think truly resonates with Renee. It's excerpt says; *"I'll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness, some see a pen, I see a Harpoon.”(excerpt from the song "ode to sleep" by 21 pilots ) This quote resonates with Renee, because she has fought lies, pain, loss, and especially darkness through her writing. A woman who’s lost so much, been deceived by many, hurt by more, been stricken with illness after illness has effortlessly, gracefully, used her pens, paper, and her words as a weapon to fight back whatever evil that’s come her way, and with every word she’s written, I believe she wins a little every time. I also believe that her search for truth, and long lasting battle with darkness has made this sometimes dismal world, a lot brighter. In my honest opinion, To not buy this book, to not turn the page and read on would be a mistake. Because if there’s anyone who can relate to your pain, and help you make peace with it, it’s Renee Wolf- Crow De Nunez.

Meet Jane. Newly arrived to Birmingham, Alabama, Jane is a broke dog-walker in Thornfield Estates––a gated community full of McMansions, shiny SUVs, and bored housewives. The kind of place where no one will notice if Jane lifts the discarded tchotchkes and jewelry off the side tables of her well-heeled clients. Where no one will think to ask if Jane is her real name. But her luck changes when she meets Eddie Rochester. Recently widowed, Eddie is Thornfield Estates’ most mysterious resident. His wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident with her best friend, their bodies lost to the deep. Jane can’t help but see an opportunity in Eddie––not only is he rich, brooding, and handsome, he could also offer her the kind of protection she’s always yearned for. Yet as Jane and Eddie fall for each other, Jane is increasingly haunted by the legend of Bea, an ambitious beauty with a rags-to-riches origin story, who launched a wildly successful southern lifestyle brand. How can she, plain Jane, ever measure up? And can she win Eddie’s heart before her past––or his––catches up to her? With delicious suspense, incisive wit, and a fresh, feminist sensibility, The Wife Upstairs flips the script on a timeless tale of forbidden romance, ill-advised attraction, and a wife who just won’t stay buried. In this vivid reimagining of one of literature’s most twisted love triangles, which Mrs. Rochester will get her happy ending?

One is held by Arnfinn, a country boy who knows nothing of Sightblinder’s power: to make the viewer see that which he most desires—or most fears. Sightblinder must be used, if Ben of Purkinje is to rescue Prince Mark from the hell in which he lies captive, prisoner of the horrifying ageless Ancient One.

Elliott is a struggling musician who is trying to piece together enough cash every month to keep his dream of performing alive while also paying his rent. That’s when he discovered the new app TASK LYST. As a service provider, he sets his own hours, his funds are delivered covertly in bitcoin and the rates continue to grow...but so does his suspicion over the type of tasks that he is being asked to complete. Is the anonymous nature of app-based freelance work enough to abate Elliott’s suspicions...and conscience? Meanwhile, the glossy new Task Lyst corporation is looking for start-up capital and perhaps an extra way to make the app profitable, by assisting the government in spying on users. Alice Seeger is a smart and beautiful executive who once had a promising future in Silicon Valley, but a few bad investments have put her on the edge of being fired and saddled with a lifestyle that she can no longer afford. At first glance, Task Lyst seemed like an app to pass on...until she discovers it’s dark underbelly which makes it more appealing financially while also being an enormous legal liability. She must test her own professional judgment against her morals in determining at what price she finds her own success. This gig-economy thriller takes a look at the on-demand service industry, and it’s shady possibilities. Apps have become all-encompassing in our fast-paced modern lives and their utility is undeniable. In this gripping thriller, we follow the many sides, shades and shadows of the app economy and test the question: how far is too far?

January 1 1916: Europe is bleeding to death as the corpses rot from Poland to Gallipoli in the cruel grip of the Great War... Heart of War follows the fate and fortunes of the Rowland family and those people bound up in their lives: the Cate squirearchy, the Strattons who manage the Rowland owned factory, and the humble, multi-talented Gorse family. In this all-consuming conflict, not a single family will remain untouched. With Quentin and Boy Rowland fighting in the trenches and Guy flying the skies above, it would be a miracle for the whole family to come home untouched... During the years 1916 and 1917, the appalling slaughter of the Somme and Passchendaele cuts deep into the hearts of British people as military conscription looms over Britain for the first time in a thousand years. As babies are born, fathers, sons and brothers killed, and women strike out in the work-place, Britain looks to never be the same again. First published in 1980 – book two in a three volume saga including Now, God be Thanked, and By The Green of Spring – Heart of War explores the emotional turmoil of Britain at war from every angle: from the eyes of the upper class aristocracy who are losing their grip on power, to the lower classes rising up as they fight alongside those previously thought their betters.

When Dennis Pemble was a kid, he never dreamed of becoming a wildlife control officer. After struggling in school because of a learning disability and being bullied by classmates, Pemble finally found his footing after discovering his aptitude for trapping coyotes and training hound dogs. That short-term job set Pemble on a career path that spanned three decades, taking him on calls everywhere from the remote reaches of the Sunshine Coast to urban parks in Vancouver. The Last Wildlife Control Officer in British Columbia: Thirty Years of Dealing with Problem Predators is a memoir composed of thirty-six short stories drawn from Dennis Pemble’s diaries, co-authored with his wife, Karen Pemble. Each wildlife encounter is as educational as it is entertaining, with Pemble sharing expertise on why some animals simply can’t be relocated. He tells tales of near misses, punctuated by moments of hilarity and camaraderie with fellow conservation officers, whether stories of tracking stealthy cougars on the loose (often with beloved hounds Molly, Luke, and Tango leading the charge), relocating grizzly bears, catching a coyote hiding in a gas-station store, and finding the safest way to remove an uninvited guest at the Pacific National Exhibition.
