About Sunshine Leaking: An Anthology of Student Poetry (Student Poetry Anthologies Book 2) by Annie Douglass Lima:

In the mood for adventure? Step inside these pages and experience crazy coasters and soaring stunt planes, a terrifying tsunami and an atomic bomb. You’ll meet characters ranging from heroic Jedi to monsters of all varieties; sprinting soccer stars to a malicious doctor who eats his patient (who happens to be a chicken). Join us for a trip around the world: listen to nature singing in harmony in the peaceful countryside of Ostfriesland, Germany; run barefoot across a beach in Busan, Korea; dodge the noisy traffic of a street in Vietnam; sample a soft pineapple mooncake in Hsinchu, Taiwan; and wrap yourself in the dangers and charms of New York City. Prepare to mourn the tragic deaths of a lovely butterfly and a lonely wolf; then console yourself with music as relaxing as blankets and comforting as pillows. Along the way, watch out for wayward Frisbees and the sun about to crash into the earth. Hold your breath as you’re blasted with ash from that erupting volcano and sprayed with the seeds of an evil tomato. But who needs a shower when you have liquid sunshine leaking over you?Created by fifth-grade students, Sunshine Leaking features poetry in a variety of styles, from free verse to diamond poetry, tanka, and haiku. Proceeds from the sale of this anthology will benefit Josie’s Angels, a nonprofit organization that provides food, education, and a secure living environment for impoverished, abused, and at-risk girls in the Philippines.

About The Ministry Communications Unit: It didn’t happen, but it could have! by Gordon Smith:

LAST UPDATED MAY 2018Prior to the Second World War, Japan and Australia had been successful trading partners, but after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour, Australia was soon at war with Japan. Various attacks by Japan soon followed and the citizens of Australia became afraid and were ready to bolt inland from the coastal regions. In 1942, General McArthur set up his headquarters for the Pacific in Brisbane and, as a result, the city needed a civilian population to ensure the smooth operation of its essential services. Due to its proximity to the Pacific battlefronts, it was a crucial geographic point for resupplying troops in battle – from both sides of the war. A plan was soon hatched to make newsreel films and articles that would not only reassure Australia’s civilians that they would be safe from Japanese threat, but, at the same time, they would also be leaked to the Japanese in an effort to convince them that Brisbane was too difficult a city to invade. The Ministry Communications Unit chronicles the creation and development of the special public relations unit that created those movies and articles.It is also about adventure, romance, glory and also personal sacrifice. The Ministry Communications unit, tells the tale of how the unit developed along with the interactions of people causing interest and romances to begin. But nothing in the path of love can run smoothly and as the young men and women become romantically involved they then become shocked by the horrific hospital boat sinking.

About Darline’s Sexual Harassment: A woman fights a workplace predator by Visit Pinder:

DARLINE MEETS EARL BRUMBACHDarline Flowers, a charming blonde in her late twenties, anxiously awaits a job interview with top executive Earl Brumbach. What Darline doesn’t know is that Brumbach has a notorious reputation of longstanding sexual harassment involving many female employees of Maximus Food Products. He has been reprimanded several times by company president, Clayton Weimar, to “keep it in your pants, Earl.” The company’s top executives look the other way under the “good ole’ boy” rule of male domination, all too common in the corporate world of that era. Brumbach is a ruthless, out-of-control, sexual predator and Darline is applying for the position of his Executive Secretary.BRUMBACH COMES AFTER HERIt doesn’t take long for Brumbach to take after the beautiful and voluptuous Darline. She spends her days performing a difficult corporate juggling act. She tries to concentrate on the duties of the tension-filled position of executive secretary, while also trying to stay away from Brumbach’s busy hands. Her sex-crazed boss even hints to Darline that she can move up very fast at Maximus if she would just cooperate with him. She knows what that means. The extent of his misguided passion for her is evident during a conversation he has with another young executive:”I know she’s got strong feelings for me,” Brumbach said. “I know she wants me. I just know it. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I’d get rid of my wife in a minute.””She surely is a pretty woman,” Dale said.”You stay the hell away from Darline.” A look of fury crossed Brumbach’s face. He was the older stallion facing a potential adversary, and establishing his rights for the young filly.”Earl, I’m going with Betsy. I’m happy with her. You know that.””Just make damned sure you stay away from her. I’m going to marry her. It may take me a while to win her over, but she’ll be mine someday.”JULIE KNOWS BRUMBACH WELLDarline becomes friendly with another employee, Julie DuBois. At lunch one day Julie describes, in great detail, the background of the bad boy, Brumbach. He once waged a campaign against Julie, but she cleverly avoided him. She advises Darline.WHAT DOES DARLINE DO ABOUT BRUMBACH?Every day, Brumbach becomes more obsessed with his fantasy of totally possessing Darline. Finally, his advances become unbearable to her. He does the unthinkable:”She stood directly in front of Brumbach, holding the glass of Scotch in her left hand and the cigarette case in her right. In an instant, he took advantage of her temporary vulnerability. With the enormous strength generated by his desire, he ripped open the front of her suit jacket. Buttons flew all over. Darline was only wearing a half-slip so he had direct access to her bra. He pressed tight against her, reached both hands around to the back of her bra and ripped it open. The bra dropped to the floor and Brumbach’s eyes widened in awe as Darline’s perfectly formed, quite large breasts, stared out at him. She was temporarily paralyzed, still holding the Scotch and cigarette case. It all happened in a few seconds.”Darline realizes it can’t go on like this. But what can she do? You’ll be fascinated by Darline and how she finally handles her loathsome boss. This story is sometimes humorous, and is always full of suspense. It vividly shows you, the reader, the workplace sexual harassment of women which was too often present in the 1960’s. You’ll be captivated by this story, right up to the thrilling and unexpected finale.

Baseball is the true escape, taking one’s soul to a better time in a better place, where life is but a game and a loss is still a win because you were there.In Forever We Play, that life IS the afterlife. Through the stained glass eyes of religion, come the refrains of the ballpark. Baseball is gospel, Jesus is a slick-fielding shortstop from the Dominican Republic and Fielding Schmelling is a rookie soul taker with the Houston Astros. When an attractive realtor falls out of a Florida upper deck, he shepherds her soul aboard the Evans / Murgatroid bus in preparation for Opening Day. She must choose a team, who must then win the World Series if she wants to reach heaven. God has streamlined the purification process.A three-base error is still a sin, the Chicago Cubs have yet to win and – with so many souls – you know the devil wants in.

About Once There Was Fire: A Novel of Old Hawaii by Stephen Shender:

Discover the epic story of old Hawaii James Michener never told. The Hawaiian people lived in an isolated Garden of Eden and fought over it for centuries. Then one day, strangers came from beyond the horizon on floating islands. At first, the Hawaiians thought they were gods. Having no metal of their own, they marveled at the visitors’ iron daggers, axes, muskets, and cannons. One man, Kamehameha, was the first among the Hawaiians to understand that the strangers’ arrival had transformed everything for his people. He would go on to use these new weapons to defeat his rivals, unite the Hawaiian Islands, and found a new kingdom at the crossroads of the Pacific Ocean.Once There Was Fire brings a little-understood, historically remote era to life through the words and actions of its memorable characters: Kamehameha, his strong-willed and rebellious consort, Ka‘ahumanu, his favorite brother, Keli‘imaika‘i, and Kamehameha’s sons, nephews, comrades in arms, haole advisers, and bitter enemies. The novel invites readers to see Hawaii of the mid-18th and early 19th centuries as the old Hawaiians themselves might have seen and experienced it on the cusp of their passage from splendid isolation to the wider world.
