Critics of war are often labeled treasonous lunatics. Even those who are critical of the government are scrutinized and dragged through the mud. Young men and women volunteer to fight wars on their nation's behalf, and we should commend them for their actions, but we should question the steps to board ships and planes bound for foreign soil before their military service is required.
Major General Smedley Butler was a 2x Medal of Honor recipient and an advocate for those he lead to war. His legacy is rich with valor in combat but also the bureaucratic fight on the homefront. From exposing war-profiteering to campaigning for veterans benefits that provide returning US troops with rich opportunities in the present day, Old Gimlet Eye was an American hero you surely did not read about in school.
War is a racket, it always has been, and it still is.

The hidden history of the druadan is emerging from the shadows...
During the attack at Meridian, a shocking truth was revealed: my sister leads a rebel group hellbent on stealing the last druadan eggs. By sheer chance, I managed to save one, but as it begins to hatch, the three Master Riders-Heath, Logan, and Carter, with whom I've developed undeniable feelings-and I must surrender the egg to Circuit officials.
To keep the egg's survival a secret, Circuit shuts down Meridian, forcing us to relocate to Blackhawk Station. There, ancient secrets await, holding the key to understanding the rebels' desire for the druadan foal, my connection to it, and the bond I share with the three master riders and their stallions.
However, tensions escalate as Logan finally faces trial for his rogue stallion, and civil unrest engulfs Venovia, with strikes and violent protests pushing the country toward war. I must tread carefully. The long-buried truths I unearth at Blackhawk could prove the world's salvation-or the catalyst for utter ruin.
Probably more today than any other time in American history, the definition of what it means or what it takes to be a man is a moving target. The tension between masculinity and vulnerability is fiercely obvious in the issue-driven, sound-bite culture we live in.
One is strong, one is weak. One leads, one follows. One is American, one is less-than.
Revision of a Man is a reconciliation with the shifting path of fatherhood, military service, a love of the outdoors, addiction, sobriety, depression, recovery, anger, and peace. The poetry and the prose are a stake in the ground that insists, a man is not one or the other. He is all of them.
A lifetime relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. It's the Spirit of truth in all matters of life. Wouldn't you want to know the matters of your life and the answers to why things happen or even do not happen? This lifetime relationship is available to all without partiality. In I Am With You- Fellowship with the Holy Spirit, Leslie Johnson artfully shares what is on her heart and the messages the Holy Spirit spoke to her.
Leslie is a native of South Carolina. She is the mother of three children and grandmother of three grandchildren. Though not raised in the church, God has called her to minister in the gifts of the Teacher and Prophetess. She has always loved to read but did not imagine writing a book. In her first book, she rediscovered her first love again (Revelations 2:4), through the Holy Spirit being challenged in life while writing the book. Walk with her as she journeys with the Holy Spirit, listening to hear Him as He instructs and guides her. May you too, hear His voice speaking to you and rediscover His love.
I am humbled, grateful, and overwhelmed with God's endless love for me! When I experienced a life-threatening medical emergency, I didn't know what was happening in my body, but I called on the One who did! But God is a true testament of God's love and faithfulness towards me as His daughter.

Demons in the Taillights is a poetry collection written for the fading light this generation has produced. Inspired by the work of Kenneth Patchen and Yusef Komunyakaa, it's an observation on how we got to this point and if there is a way out. Bolyard pulls from his vast experience of life to give the best dissertation on the modern human spirit. Ideally, this is not for the hands of teenagers or adults coming out of a breakup.
William Bolyard's second collection of poetry stands as a title fight through the use of lyrical prose. His simplistic style and comedic breaks allow the reader to bear the heavy blows of the difficult subjects discussed. Since the completion of this work, he has swore off poetry and started writing fiction. The note he left for his publisher was, If they don't like it, it wasn't written for them.
She Lives In Music is a nourishing of the soul, spirit and mind collection by Andrea Vocab Sanderson. You can't help but tap your feet and groove with the elements in the brave but confident voice of Vocab. With some Parliament riffs, melancholic blues, jazz comes at you with a bop to give you that elixir. Don't sleep on this collection, let it breathe into you.

Some wars won't end.
Some wounds won't heal.
Some bonds can't be broken.
Former U.S. Army Ranger medic, Leo Jenkins, picks up where he left off with his best-selling book, Lest We Forget, to explore the difficulties of reintegrating back into society after years at war. In what has been called one of the most important books ever written on transition, Jenkins lays it all on the line one more time with, On Assimilation: A Transition From War.
Blending a family is never an easy process. In fact, some would venture to say all of the different perspectives, emotions, and personalities can make it one of the most challenging tasks a husband and wife can take on. The question then becomes, if we are to become one, what do we need to do to make sure this family is also one? In A Perfect Blend, we explore how to lay a proper foundation for a blended family, how to be led by God in the process, and how to deal with the unavoidable intersections between the past relationships and your forever relationship.

What Tatiana has done with Despojo is pure delight
She offers home, love, peace and healing. Her heritage
woven into each line, sharing her roots and the wisdom
from her ancestors. With each poem, she tells a story
with a quiet yet bold flare that only she possesses. Mas-
terfully written and a complete gem is this masterpiece
--C. Thomas, Poet & Author of Bernard's Bedroom
Despojo waters us with a conversation of identity Ca-
ribe os know all too well. A refreshing exploration of
both wanting to belong and tracing back all that makes
us feel seen. This collection reminds us that it is in the
shedding of skin that we learn to mend.
--Melania-Luisa Marte, Poet & Author of Mela
Despojo is a testament to so many things: the pain and
healing in the aftermath of sexual violence, the lineages
Tatiana honors and writes within, the fact that love
is a verb. The poems in Despojo carry an impossible
amount of compassion for their subjects. I learn from
Tatiana Figueroa Ramirez the act of staying put and
just looking; she is a poet deeply invested in witnessing
her family and ancestry, in writing with an uncom-
promising eye towards balancing the truth and the
turmoil. She never turns away. I am so lulled by her
language, which is so skillful it has a spine. Flowers
dot the pages, the air becomes thinner and sweet with
molasses. Do yourself a favour and learn what it really
means to trace lineage, to write with strength towards
people who have hurt you, to stand and carry an entire
history on your shoulders.
--Nancy Huang, Author of Favorite Daughter
