Bob Doerr releases “The Rescue of Vincent,” his second MouseGate book in the Enchanted Coin series.

Fourteen year old Ricky Street discovers a magical coin in a small creek near his parent’s Florida home. To his surprise the coin has his name inscribed on it along with directions that he toss it into the fountain by the Tree of Life at Walt Disney World. When he does he suddenly finds himself transported to a strange world where he encounters two other teens from two separate worlds who had also been transported there by magical coins they found. The three soon meet Vincent Wollitzer, whom they save from drowning in quicksand, and learn that if Vincent doesn’t reach civilization soon his world will be thrust into a terrible war. Together the four have exciting adventures in their efforts to get Vincent back to civilization including attacks by dragons, sea monsters, and other strange creatures.

The Rescue of Vincent: Book 2 in The Enchanted Coin Series is a 31,000 word fantasy adventure targeted at Middle Grade readers.

Daddy’s Girl

I want the masculine consolation of a
man, when it comes time for life changing decisions.
Not the controlling condescending indignation of an
empty heart who promises—nothing.
I miss what I never had, I miss my Dad. The fondest
memories, I was glad, I had, were far and few—
only two.
Some lost soul-playing god, thought he was
through, also killed more than he knew!
On the shore, my heart was strewn with every ebb
and flow—torn and unborn, nubile, infant in mourn.
I loved you so as a child … wondering … . day
dreaming about you, as I rode my bike, free as the wind
blew through me, inhaled a certainty of your absence.
Why did you have to go? You must know how much I
tried, and even lied, to myself, dismissed your presence
and walked in the shadows of my visceral ineptness. I
needed you then and I need you still. Looking back it doesn’t matter you were tattered, a
shattered life, shunned and scattered—it’s empty fodder,
you are still my father.
A half of my being has been denied, so many lies,
no truth, in lust or unjust, filled eyes. I cried, almost
died—inside, imbued in hues of blues never having
said … Goodbye!

 

Invisible Chains

Invisible Chains poetry is written by Marc A. Beausejour

We as a people were under the impression that this was the “home of the brave.”
Yet inside the heart of every black American lies the sad soul of an oppressed slave,
who gave this country their blood, sweat and tears and what do we get in return?
Our sisters are turned out and abused; our brothers’ homes are broken and burned.
In truth, society’s greatest concern is the fact that black possesses abilities to excel,
and expel all the false notions that we are compelled to live by a leash and a bell.
To answer every impossibility untold that our white counterparts cannot even tell.
Although they try to sell us a future that they figure we will never hope to obtain.
We are written off as dangerous, unstable, untamed; even borderline insane,
untrained as savages, beasts that cannot comprehend the culture of good living,
To be honest, if we are animals; I would find living in the wild more forgiving.
Creatures are the victim of their instincts while the US is the victim of their own fear.
It’s becoming more and more clear that with every passing year, we don’t belong here.
This is why our young men are being eliminated and eradicated at an early age.
We are being made an example to what happens when we step out of our cage,
attempting to reach the next stage in the progression of our hard earned education.
It’s a nation filled with bigotry, hate and spite; despite all the movements and the fight.
The struggle to unify and integrate rather than to murder and instigate; wrong vs right.
But yet they want us to bear arms and fight for them; I’d rather dodge it like Clay,
and pray that our young black men can have a decent future and the final say;
that one day the spirit of unification will defeat the spirit of segregation and separation.
A declaration that the government officials show us the same respect and decorum.

 

Football Season Part One: Why We Coach

The weather changes abruptly in New England during mid November. The warm days of August training camp, the extended Indian Summer of September, and the refreshing boldness of October fade like the flowers on the Azalea bush, a sure sign that, in the words of Ned Stark, “winter is coming.”

 

Children’s book on A Course in Miracles due to be released next week.

Raveena has worked with children quite a lot over the years and she felt it was time to share this important spiritual work with them. In A Tale of Truth, she simplifies the essence of A Course in Miracles and makes it accessible to children in a light-hearted manner.

Published by Total Recall Publications, Inc., the book takes the form of a dialogue between Joshua, a wise elderly man, and Adam, a nine-year-old who has a lot of curiosity about life. Joshua teaches Adam about the Separation, according to A Course in Miracles, and about the oneness of all people with each other and with God. He also talks about the need to protect Mother Earth and about true prayer, and he discusses a few of the Workbook Lessons of A Course in Miracles with Adam. In addition, Joshua explains how forgiveness helps us awaken from the dream of separation and return to Heaven.

Lucy Grossmith is the artist who illustrated A Tale of Truth. She is an accomplished artist illustrating for books and cards and creating magical paintings from her garden studio in the beautiful English countryside. Lucy is passionate about art and this has very much been part of her spiritual journey. She has combined her great love of art and nature to create these special illustrations for Raveena’s book.
