Book Description
Allison Green's Half Moon Scar is an edgy novel about three childhood friends who reunite as adults to discover and heal each other's wounds, both physical and emotional. Amy is a thirtysomething lesbian who escaped her small, Midwestern hometown of Willow Bay, Wisconsin, to pursue an academic career and establish a life with her lover. After years away from Willow Bay, she returns to visit the people she's left behind--only to discover that her old friends Gina and Gavin have learned to dissociate from their pasts in extreme ways that rival her own. Amy's tendency toward self-mutilation parallels both Gavin's anorexia and Gina's moody detachment from life, and Amy soon begins to fear for Gavin's life while becoming more and more bewildered by Gina's behavior. As past and present collide and the visit extends far beyond its intended length, as the reunion forces all three to examine the shame and guilt they experienced as gay adolescents. Amy finds that she must reconcile the tense relationship with her family and her long-standing attraction to Gina, as well as her past romantic experimentation with Gavin. Together, Amy, Gina, and Gavin examine the scars--both emotional and physical, visible and invisible--that pervade their still-unresolved lives.

Book Description
NIGHT OF A THOUSAND DREAMS is a personal journey through the difficulties and mysteries of life. It is the endeavor of one Soul to understand the shadows and light that we all live. The stories, dreams, and challenges presented in this manuscript attempt to simplify many abstract and ancient concepts. The beauty of truth is that it is simple...not complex. The chapter Essence of Gold speaks to the nuggets of gold (truths) which are often twisted so tightly by conventional religion that their sacred intent and meaning is lost. Storytelling is an art that weaves the light of truths into the common stories of humanities struggles. These stories serve as an inspiration for me to keep moving forward on my journey. They reveal the spectrum of human emotions. This collection of spiritual stories is my attempt as a storyteller to inspire others to share their unique perspectives and truths.

Book Description
Homer is renowned as the finest of the storytellers who for countless generations passed down by word of mouth the myths and legends of Ancient Greece. Yet, for some 2500 years there have been persistent folk memories that his genius extended far beyond literature and that scientific knowledge was hidden in his stories of heroes and villains, gods and ghosts, monsters and witches. Research now reveals that at a time when the Greeks did not have a written script, Homer concealed an astonishing range of learning about calendar making and cycles of the sun, moon and planet Venus in the Odyssey, his epic of the Fall of Troy and the adventures of the warrior-king Odysseus.
