Book Description
In her latest book of supernatural, true-life mystery, Linda Alice Dewey is contacted by a ghost named Jacobs. Jacobs is a runaway slave who was brutally murdered during the Civil War. Using Jacobs's own words, Dewey tells Jacobs's gripping story of being a slave, a fugitive, a vagrant in nineteenth-century America--and his "life" as The Ghost Who Would Not Die. After Jacobs is murdered, his ghost congregates with other ghosts, plays tricks on people, and wanders aimlessly through middle America. Eventually, he begins to help the living by telepathically influencing their thoughts and, ultimately, attaching himself to Dewey and her son. Dewey helps Jacobs to "cross over" and find the peace and freedom that was denied him in life and during the first hundred years after his death. The Ghost Who Would Not Die is a gripping, Civil War–era tale, as well as a well-told, true ghost story that is sure to appeal to readers interested in the supernatural and life after death.

Book Description
In 1991, as Linda Alice Dewey walked through an abandoned cemetery, she and a companion felt a presence. She returned to that graveyard over the next couple of years, hoping to reach out to that poor being, offering the words: "Whoever is here…my heart is with you.” Little did Linda know that those words would begin her relationship with Aaron Burke, a man who had died nearly 70 years earlier. Aaron followed Linda home that day from the graveyard. As she opened herself to this ghost she learned that he was stuck in a state of limbo, unable to cross over. Aaron had been kidnapped by his father at age four and taken from Ireland to America where he was put to work. Hardened and embittered from his childhood, he did manage to find happiness, only to have it all slip away. Shortly after witnessing his own funeral, Aaron met other ghosts waiting for the time they could finally leave this state of limbo. Yet for decades he could only watch as the people he knew both in life and death crossed over, leaving him behind. Working together to find the closure Aaron needed, he and Linda became friends along the journey. Years after that first meeting and his subsequent crossing, Aaron returned to share the full story of his life--and afterlife--with Linda. This true ghost story gives hope and inspiration to all of us. Aaron shows us that, when seen as the big picture, everything makes sense. Aaron's Crossing sheds light on the mystery of dying, reassuring us that death is never the end of the story!

Book Description
Years before the movie TOOTSIE was released the author provided substantial planning, copyrightable story telling, characters, and much dialogue for it; acknowledged by its producer/director, the late, great Sydney Pollack. Uncle Sammy makes extended and more serious fun of that 1982 comedy classic. A stage actor, Samuel, due to a nomination for best supporting actor in his ONLY movie role, confronts stardom in a movie business, which may not be big enough for his very own "self"-image. His world awry over problems about one of his old, mixed-gender, images and worldly matters, past and present, he makes and works on a three-picture movie pact, while insistently trying to cure the world. The scripts are of questionable authorship. - An intellectual property issue for all concerned. Three of the actor's women friends become increasingly involved in his business and personal life, causing convolutions about relations; professional and intimate; serious and farcical. Yvonne assists Gerri, talent agency CEO and caretaker of Samuel and his writer friend. A better employment opportunity exists for Yvonne with the studio chief and studio operating officer. So, she masquerades as Ivan to increase her chances of getting the job on her own merits, rather than through a prior, intimate relationship with the chief's nephew, Simon, who is a confidante of the studio's operating officer. Jill uses a little, popular-actress's-leverage to get Gerri to recommend Yvonne to the studio. While seeking her own "new man." Yvonne gets the studio job as Ivan. He must deal with promoting Samuel’s image and fixing various issues. - A problem for their professional relations. While She dates him. - A delight for their growing intimate relations. Leslie, who has been dating Samuel, seeks knowledge about a role for herself that hasn’t been written and may not exist. Yvonne and Samuel present a hair-raising solution to their conflicts about his image, and not so hair-raising solutions to worldly and heavenly concerns. Leslie, Jill, and Yvonne, unaware of each other, arrive to spend the same night with Samuel in the apartment he shares with the writer. - A farcical juggling act for the writer. Simon, and Jill get together over matters of their understanding of good earthly and heavenly relations at a party celebrating the completion of the movies. What are the "dramatic" topics? Justice. Restitution. Righteous, charitable behavior. Fatherhood. Dignity, integrity, respect for privacy, and business good will. Keeping one's words worthy. Ethics. Corporate greed. The Citizen’s United SCOTUS decision. Money and bribery in politics. Cyber and media misdeeds. Gratitude. Commitment. Consideration. Sovereignty of The Only God. Truth. And Peace. -- If that's too much: At its core Uncle Sammy is about love and ambition. Fun, harmless glimpses at aspects of human nature with some life lessons; we are all such interesting and varied characters with the divine light of The Ineffable in common to help us accomplish work that benefits others, beyond our individual quirks and selfish-interests. That's life. And Theater. In 2000, Ames Cushing, then William Morris West agent for Jason Alexander, expressed keen interest in the play, saying "there's only one problem," that Jason, was busy for two years. One? We should all be so lucky!

Book Description
The far left in Australia had significant effects on post-war politics, culture and society. The Communist Party of Australia (CPA) ended World War II with some 20,000 members, and despite the harsh and vitriolic Cold War climate of the 1950s, seeded or provided impetus for the re-emergence of other movements. Radicals subscribing to ideologies beyond the Soviet orbit – Maoists, Trotskyists, anarchists and others – also created parties and organisations and led movements. All of these different far left parties and movements changed and shifted during time, responding to one political crisis or another, but they remained steadfastly devoted to a better world. This collection, bringing together 14 chapters from leading and emerging figures in the Australian and international historical profession, for the first time charts some of these significant moments and interventions, revealing the Australian far left’s often forgotten contribution to the nation’s history.
