About Grandma Attacks Wolf With Her Own Broom:
An Epic Short Memoir That is Sure to Leave the Reader Captivated and in Awe.
Often in this day and age, the elderly are undervalued and unrecognized. Some of the younger people even go about their business not acknowledging the elderly’s existence. They don’t recognize the knowledge and wisdom that sits within them.
Not me though; I fully understand their years are plentiful, and to avoid them only means missing out on a lifetime of practical teaching. My Grandma, along with many other seniors, are the bearers of built-in knowledge and wisdom. This is the reason I chose to write this short story: It’s a tribute dedicated to my Grandma and all the elderly on the planet who have been there and done that, all in a fashion that showed class and thoughtful action.
There is one particular tale in my Grandma’s arsenal that stands out amongst the rest: It’s the story when she went to battle with a full-grown wolf.
About Featured Book: Pirate Girl Falls Through Beaver Dam (A Memoir of Adventurous Lessons in Earth School) by Wren Godfrey Chapman
In 1968, why did a gently raised southern girl quit collage, run away to sea, and join a scurvy crew of pirates, searching for sunken treasure and running contraband? Why did she allow the first mate to tie her in the crow’s-nest during a fierce tropical storm? Why did she flee the Bahamas in the cover of night, fall through a beaver dam during a Rocky Mountain blizzard, and hide out in a Colorado wilderness cave with her good dog, Rocky Raccoon. In this unvarnished memoir, Wren Godfrey Chapman told herself it was to escape the tragedy of the war in Vietnam and her failed engagement to the love of her young life. But then again, maybe it was to assuage her rebellious case of wanderlust.
With a strong female voice and sense of place in the Carolinas, Florida, Colorado, and the Bahamas, Pirate Girl describes a lifelong process of discovery through the adventurous lessons of Earth School.

About Prophecies of a Himalayan Sage, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking:
Free on Amazon February 24th thru February 26th. Explore the extraordinary wisdom and prophetic Insights of a true Himalayan Sage. Every thinking person recognizes that humanity is in crisis, ecologically, spiritually, and very clearly politically; in fact, any way you look at it. Theology has crumbled and political theory collapsed; technology complicates life and war; “critical race theory” and media corruption subvert truth to enthrone ignorance; religious fanaticism terrorizes citizens, inflames the world, and imperils every rational nation on our planet.
Radicalism is not alone in imperiling democracy worldwide. A spreading plague of misinformation gives rise to a corollary to Gresham’s Law (“bad money drives out good”)—misinformation pushes aside knowledge. Democracy is the most difficult of all forms of government since it requires an educated voting populace and the widest spread of undistorted information. We must not forgot to keep ourselves truthfully informed if we are to keep ourselves free and sovereign.
“At every step history teaches us how fragile and superficial a structure civilization is, and how precariously it is poised upon the apex of a never extinct volcano of oppressed barbarism, superstition, and ignorance. Modern civilization is a thin veneer superimposed upon the Middle Ages, which always remain.”
Why is this happening? And why at this point in our civilization? Are there answers to these questions?
On an extended trek in the remote Himalayas, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on an extraordinary opportunity. A series of adventures led him to an ancient Oracle Temple where he encountered a true Himalayan Sage. The author’s discussions with the savant covered a wide range of subjects, revealing a series of profound insights: “In your country what was once a government of reason and law has been replaced by a tyranny of men. The sovereignty of the people has become a sovereignty of manipulators, politicians as conscious agents of a great deception, the power of which dements even more than it corrupts. Your society is divided into a tiny group of men who choose and decide, and a small number of others who know far less and decide nothing yet wield power in conformity with the hidden policies, those who gather in your congress to go through the motions of democracy’s ghost…” —The Sage
Explore knowledge that has long remained concealed under layers of deception and secrecy. A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in the welfare of their country, their personal welfare, and that of their family. 2021 Edition Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 353 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device).

About By the way… An Open Letter to My African American Son (and cheat sheet of fatherly advice):
This book will be free from Feb 28 – Mar 4 on Amazon. In return, I kindly ask for reviews.
If you would like to reach out to me directly, you can email me at geeccompany@gmail.com.
And now, about the book:
This book is based on a simple concept. If I were to die before my son was old enough for me to relay key ideas, concepts, and ideas, this document would serve as my voice. The pace is smooth and appropriate over the course of the chapters. Even while tackling controversial issues like police and drugs, this tone allows for the absorption of ideas and concepts without losing the intensity of those moments.
As this book is written as a note from a father to a son, the book starts with dad establishing the identity and relationship between father and son. This is followed by an explanation for why this book was written. After an additional message about how to use this advice, the book progresses in three parts. The first part is called You. The chapters tell stories, anecdotes, and provide advice that helps the son understand himself, what that means, and how to be a better person. The second part, Future Prosperity, comprises two chapters, one on education, and the other on career. These two chapters are designed to demonstrate how and why to achieve high professional and personal performance. The final part is called The World You Live In. This section tackles some very profound and topical subjects like race, protests, police, immigration, politics, religion, and other hot button issues. Essentially, the dad wants the son to gain insight on how to navigate these issues without negative repercussions. The book is written so that anyone reading it feels as though they are a fly on the wall while a father is giving life lessons to his son. As such, it is an insight that most people would never get to experience.
There is a natural flow to this book. The impact of life on the dad, with respect to these topics, can be felt in the dad’s voice. Yet, the structure of the chapters allow for a natural flow that allows for energy when necessary, but pulls the veracity of the topic back to allow for absorption and transition. The dad is conscious not to bear down on issues as to discourage the son from those aspects of life. While interjecting stories, ideas, and requests as part of the ‘Random Dad Notes’ section at the end of each chapter, the dad creates a natural break and, at times, levity.
This book is one that begs for one more page. The reader wants to read one more chapter or understand one more position on an issue from the dad. Essentially, the reader just wants to hear more and revisit concepts and topics. This book starts conversations in the mind with the reader that spill into the consciousness. It accomplishes it goal of guiding the son and starting a dialogue with others.

HUSH II: Breaking the Cycle of Silence Around Sexual Abuse by Tenita C. Johnson
For many families, it’s the elephant in the room everyone chooses to ignore. It’s the one thing no one talks about at the family reunion or the backyard barbecue. Like a cancer, it oftentimes lies dormant under the surface until it is triggered and simply can no longer be ignored—by the victim or the predator.
Sexual abuse has been—and continues to be—a silent killer in our communities. While it may not kill someone physically, it has certainly killed years of joy and happiness, let alone one’s peace. In a moment, it has killed the hopes and dreams of many whose lenses of life are now tainted forever. Oftentimes, because of the shame and the guilt, the hurt and the heartache, the voices of victims have been silenced for too many decades to count. In this candid literary masterpiece, eight brave women share their story from trauma to triumph over molestation and/or rape.
This is where the silence stops. This is where we give volume to the voices of victims who couldn’t muster up the words to share their story. This is their story. This is our story.
And it’s time to break the cycle of silence.

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you are not alone.

About Two Jersey Brothers: Stories from Our Haledon Boyhood 1939-1953 By Nick and Bob Finamore:
FREE on Kindle Unlimited!!
Two Jersey Brothers recounts the boyhoods of brothers Nick and Bob Finamore in the small, quiet, one-square-mile town of Haledon, New Jersey during the Depression and World War II eras. Their grandparents had emigrated from Fraine and Caserta, Italy, and, like most of their close family members, worked in the mills of neighboring Paterson, the “Silk City.” In this vivid memoir they recall the colorful Haledon customers they served in their family’s vintage Belmont Diner, and delve into the values of respect, discipline, and hard work they learned from their family.
They explain in graphic detail their upbringing in their Italian household that made ends meet because their parents worked hard — not because they had a lot of money.
Nick Finamore who lives in Annandale, NJ said the writing process was a joint effort. The memories that endure are shared with his brother, he said.
“We grew up without a lot, but we still managed to have fun times, said Finamore”. Those fun times included their boyhood encounters with many famous sports and entertainer names, including baseball’s “Joltin'” Joe DiMaggio and “The Sultan of Swat” Babe Ruth; champion middleweight boxer Vince Martinez; NFL Los Angeles Rams head football coach Ray Malavasi and Paterson’s own Lou Costello.
But, the family also struggled with much harder times. Their vintage diner was overrun by a flood in 1945 and they were put out of business for six months. “We never met our maternal grandmother”, they said. She died during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918.
They take you on a stroll up and down Haledon’s street of commerce.
They picked up slang and dirty jokes at the local barbershops, and they were mesmerized by a player piano at a tavern filled with thick cigarette smoke where their father mingled with close friends.
They observed the processing of a fresh hen at a poultry store. As they entered, “The sound was a very loud cacophony of squawks from white-feathered chickens sitting in cages, waiting to be slaughtered,” the brothers wrote. After the hen was chosen, it was taken into a back room where a cleaver chopped down cutting off its head”. We accepted the way chickens were killed without horror. To us, it was a way of life, what needed to be done.”
The most infamous event in Haledon’s history was the 1913 strike by silk mill laborers who demanded eight-hour shifts; better working conditions; and reduction of child labor at their plants in neighboring Paterson. The Botto House Museum is dedicated to that movement, which lasted for nearly six months, and it is now a national landmark because of it.
Evelyn Hershey, education director of the American Labor Museum at the Botto House on Norwood Street, said the book relates stories of “people’s history.”
“Instead of telling history of presidents, or kings, or corporate magnates,” Hershey said, “they’re telling history through recollections of ordinary, working people.”
In 1944, their father opened the Belmont Diner on Belmont Avenue — a business that supported the family for 11 years. The brothers worked as short-order cooks and they often performed menial chores peeling 100 pounds of Idaho potatoes at one sitting; washing floors; and filling salt and pepper shakers.
They describe their interactions with the colorful characters that were customers of the diner. There was the plumber, the artistic painter, the referee, the body shop man, oilman, and Dugan’s truck delivery man.

About Making Waves on the Aegean:
“Wow top pick of the month for me. This book has so much, you’re gonna love it! No chores today, couldn’t put the book down.” Julie Barrett- J Barrett Blogspot

About Five Years in the Himalayas, The Journals & Field Notes of Explorer M.G. Hawking:
Free on Amazon January 9th and 10th. Composed from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in remote areas of the Himalayas, this book transports the reader into regions of our planet that in all history only a handful of people have experienced, a journey that leads to the discovery of the rarest and most powerful esoteric knowledge possessed by the human race.
Many years ago, on an extended trek into an inner region of the vast wilderness of the Great Himalayan Range, Hawking chanced on an unexpected find. In a majestic valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful small village. In that community, called Siddhalaya by its residents, he had the privilege of meeting a number of truly extraordinary men and women. This encounter marked the beginning of sixty-two months Hawking spent in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, during which time he kept detailed records of his adventures, experiences, and conversations with those highly enlightened individuals.
Over the past years the team at Wisdom Masters Press has assembled a series of books based on Hawking’s chronicles containing unprecedented accounts of his experiences and conversations with the remarkably enlightened individuals he encountered, including first-hand narratives of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and in-depth descriptions of the esoteric knowledge and techniques that made such exceptional abilities possible. This was a daunting assignment; Hawking had accumulated many hundreds of pages of hand-written journal entries and field notes, all of which had to be sorted, cataloged, indexed, and organized in a manner conducive to producing books from such a treasury of material. Yet it was a fascinating if formidable task, one that could not have been accomplished without the assistance and encouragement of some of the extraordinary individuals Hawking met in the Himalayas, all of whom you will meet in the pages of our books.
From the Author: “The knowledge of the masters is profound and powerful, and one hopes it will have relevance to others, will offer them insight and guidance, will greatly expand their knowledge and power, will be validated by their experience, or, at the very least, will stimulate them to search further on their own. The philosophy expressed by the masters reflects as well the broader context and search of our culture at this particular stage of its development. The evolutionary viewpoints in this book reflect that emerging pattern of a seeking for our direction and place in the Universe—a reawakening of a search begun by the original pre-Socratic philosophers, one that goes further back than even the roots of religion—the search for a true connection with our origins in the Cosmos that gave rise to us and within which we continue the creation our individual lives and the mass co-creation of the world we all share. There are no words adequate to express my respect for those remarkable sages who gave to me, an amateur, so lavishly of their time and knowledge. They appeared to be grateful to see their efforts aided by one who loves life and wisdom enough to permit him to share their wisdom, insights, dialogues, and highly elevated knowledge.” —M.G. Hawking
This volume presents a comprehensive anthology containing detailed narratives of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations with true masters and sages. Includes a section with a list and brief descriptions of our associated books.
