Joyce Preston has transitioned from victom to apprentence spy. In her Journeyman stage she betrayed by someone she trusts.

She has,” payed her dues.” She has the respect of her peers. She is at the point of her career where monotony interrupted by moments of sheer terror.

Joyce plods away at her job, she notices an ISIS recruiter  post, she notified her supervisor.

Joyce recalled reading a transcript of a press conference:

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld; and General  Pace, Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs Of Staff

 May 11, 2004

SEC. RUMSFELD: General Pace — and it is this; as I’ve reflected over what’s taken place and thought about the fact that this is an enormous institution — you know, we have

700-plus-thousand civilian employees, and 1.4 (million) men and women on active duty, plus all the Guard and Reserve we will move up to close to two and a half to three million people.    And we have to, to do our business, develop procedures and a process, and habits, so that the work gets done, and so that we serve our country well.  And that’s understanding, and it’s understandable.

 

            And then we move into the 21st century, and we moved from a peacetime to a wartime environment.  And we moved from a(n) industrial age to a digital age. And suddenly, the habits, the process, the procedures we use may not be quite appropriate.  And when one thinks about the impact that this thing has had on our country and on our department, and on the men and women in uniform, on all of us, one has to ask how might we adjust our procedures and our — the processes we use to be able to extract up from down low those things that might have an impact like this is having, and understand it down low enough that it can be moved up, not with the normal speed of weeks or months, but in a way that recognizes the danger to this institution and to the country?  I don’t know the answer to it.  I know we — that this — clearly everyone will be very sensitive about the problem of prisoner abuse for the period ahead.  I wonder if there are other habits or procedures or processes we’re using that –You will all know what you do.  And you know I don’t know what you do. You know that there’s no way in the world for Pete Pace or Dick Myers or other people to understand what you do when you get up in the morning and come here and do your work.  What I’m asking is that you think about it in the 21st century and think about it in the information age and ask yourself are there things happening in what you’re doing that somebody else needs to know that they didn’t need to know in the last century and they didn’t need to know in the industrial age.  But with news at 24/7 or with the impact that something like this can have, you may see things that ought to be elevated, or we ought to find better ways to drill down or to drill up and communicate it so that what you know and you’d normally handle in the normal order of things ought not to be handled in the normal order of things and — and move it up in some way.  So I just leave that as a thought.  I don’t — obviously, there’s no way I’m smart enough to know what it might be, but I worry that there’s something else like this down there that we haven’t adjusted this big institution’s procedures or habits to account for.

Her conclusion was:

When something is important make sure it makes it up and down the chain of command; push the point if it is not getting through.

She took matters into her own hands. Does she save the world, or des she get fired?

Well, you don’t have to wonder any longer. Dive into the story of King Arthur and his Queen Guinevere, who now possesses a secret that no one knows about.

As the queen, she was always supposed to be the model of what’s good and righteous, a feminine ideal for all women to strive for. But, what happens when this distinction between right and wrong is blurred, due to the meddling of magic, and not even the likes of Merlin can quite figure out what is going on?

So, while Britain yearns for a king to unite her once again, Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere face their own demons, as Merlin tries to find the person responsible for the impending downfall of their beloved king and queen.”

A book of stories based on a Dogs point of view.

“In every story, there is a bad guy. The one born to be despised and shunned, the antithesis to the protagonist. We wonder so little about who they are, and yet, they deserve so much more of our attention. In the Arthurian saga, Morgan le Fay is one of those characters who are there behind almost every scene, often unseen and unheard of, but they are there nonetheless. She plots against Arthur and Guinevere, she tries to kill Merlin, she is obsessed with obtaining the throne of Britain.

What is her motivation? What is hidden deep down inside of her heart? Is she truly this one-dimensional wicked character who plots and sacrifices the innocent without remorse, or is there more to her?

If you’ve grown tired of reading about the good guys and how they always save the world, then this is the right book for you. For, the bad guys are human, too. They need our understanding, our compassion, our sympathy. If nothing else, they deserve to have their stories heard. This one belongs to Morgan le Fay. “

What happens when a large group of people tends to agree with whatever the majority says, simply to conform? And, is conforming always a good thing? As it would turn out, not really. What happens in these circumstances is a psychological phenomenon named groupthink. It can appear in any kind of a group or community, and this book focuses on groupthink in organized religion.

When it comes to groupthink in such surroundings, it mostly has a negative connotation. In other words, groupthink has been the cause of some of the most horrific crimes organized religion has conducted to this day. This book offers numerous examples, starting as far back as the Salem Witch Trials and the suppression of knowledge in the cases of Nicolaus Copernicus, Galieo Galilei and Giordano Bruno, and ending with the cult killings of Jim Jones, Adolfo Constanzo and David Koresh.

So, what are the causes of groupthink in organized religion? How does it appear? And why? Most importantly, how can we avoid it, if if we see it appear? You can find the answers to all these questions and so much more right here.

Inspired by Make Your Own Damn Movie, Direct Your Own Damn Movie, Produce You Own Damn Movie, as well,as the biography of the Toxic Avenger. Both John Russo take the time to write books.

Among other things books have unlimited special effects budgets. Lloyd also taught me to reuse plots and & characters.

The key to writing a book really is to just write the damn thing: the first is always the toughest. This certainly is not the best book on the craft of writing. It does however talk about methods that have worked for me.

Do Angels guide souls? Do they help in people’s success?

The Profits from this Book Will Go to a memorial for Cuzin Elmer (and others) most of the rest of my books have been dropped to their lowest prices as well and they will stay that way until the end of June 2017 (I have heard that some authors destroy their first manuscripts; which I should have done with Dates From Hell and We can make her Better than she was. I kept those books at a high price to keep the faint of heart away.)

Samantha needs to convince her employers she’s the woman for a man’s job. She needs to be alert and at her best to prove herself in a new workplace, which would be easier if she was not the nightly prey of such an insatiable sexual appetite. Her husband is a sex addict. They have an understanding; it involves submissiveness and a safe word. It is a safe word she might just need to use if she is to stay awake and oversee one of the biggest construction sites in Oregon’s history. But then, if she gives in and leaves her guy wanting, he might just go wandering, which is the precariousness of being wed to such a rampant boiling pot of lust and desire. Can she keep it together until the end of the week and the project is well underway? It might be possible with a bit more sleep, despite the workforce whispering doubts and misgivings behind her back. Despite the stares and the jokes about her figure when her back is turned and they think she can’t hear. Samantha has been under such pressure before, but why does that new associate director keep looking at her strangely? He seems so affable he might just prove an ally, but there are so many pitfalls for a woman in a man’s world and its always so hard to judge where the next challenge is coming from.

Any guy who’s ever been friend-zoned, knows what it feels like. But, for Buck McCoy, it has unfortunately become a way of life. Girl after girl keeps rejecting him, telling him that he’s a nice guy and all, but that it simply wouldn’t work out. It’s not him, it’s her. The timing is just not right. There’s someone else. There’s no one else, but it just wouldn’t work out. He’s heard all those excuses too many times before.

Then, something happens. Buck finds a book that reveals to him the magic words of Casanova, the moves and lines that would get any girl to do whatever he wants. And what’s more, it actually works!

With this insane knowledge on women and their desires, what could possibly go wrong? As it turns out, a lot.

As children, we know exactly who monsters are. They hide in the dark corners of our room, waiting for the lights to die out. They are scary, shapeless, nameless and frightening. But, what happens when we encounter monsters in real life? And worst of all, what if we cannot tell them apart from everyone else… what then?

This is the story of Matamoros Murders, where monsters in human shape exacted their will upon the lives of other innocent people who just had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not only were they murdered, but tortured and even had their bodies desecrated after death, all for the purposes of procuring protection of certain drug rings.

 

How do we treat the perpetrators? What kind of a punishment do they deserve? How do we even look them in the eye? Perhaps this book will shed some light on these questions and a few others as you delve into the mind of a deluded cult-crazed maniac, nicknamed El Padrino and his right hand woman La Madrina, as they feed their dark passions with human sacrifices.

Jada Copperhorn is an extraordinary woman, by any account. Mostly, because she is not a woman at all. She is a fairy – the last remnant of an ancient and once very powerful Phoenix Fairy Order. As a result, Jada is in possession of a secret that was bestowed upon her by her order, a secret worth killing for.

When life throws more danger her way, and her once adored but now scorned ex lover, Raelos, keeps tailing her wherever she goes, she finds herself in need of protection, so she accepts the invitation of the Graiphate Fairy Order, which was once at war with her own. She starts questioning everything: her secret, her choices, her heart, her own way of life.

Will Jada manage to keep her secret intact? More importantly, will she remain alive in the process? And will her heart be able to forgive the betrayal that left her heartbroken and unable to trust anyone ever since?

On January 15, 2009 the world watched a jetliner make a landing on the Hudson River. Paul Kale watched a fat, drunken man on a water taxi attempt to assault a woman. He intervened and made the poor fellow drink some Hudson River. Kale passed along his information to the woman after the man fell overboard. He was lucky enough to spend some time with June Leston following that incident and wished he had more time to give her.

Petty Officer Kale was a member of the NJ Naval Militia-Joint Command and had been petitioning for months to be placed on active duty with Federal troops which hadn’t been done in over one hundred years. He felt compelled to serve his country and had done everything he could to get deployed. Shortly after he was given the go ahead he met June and had no choice but to continue their relationship with only letters.

Ten months into his deployment Kale was reminiscing about a letter from June when he ran afoul of an attempted terrorist attack on his installation. After heeding June’s written advice he ends up in a shootout with hostile forces, but with assistance from both Airman and Marines he is able to neutralize the hostile forces.

Kale invites June to his unit’s annual banquet up on his return, but before she arrives she notices a truck with decals similar to the one that attacked Kale overseas. She manages to use her guile to overpower the truck and the driver. After reporting the truck to Homeland Security she continues to the banquet.

Kale takes a stroll through the unit banquet and finally runs into June. She was the picture of beauty even after thwarting a terrorist attack. After nearly a year apart they very quickly fall into each other’s arms and lives.

Author’s note

I certainly am not the first sailor to get a,”Dear John” letter. In an attempt to re-impress my former Paramore I wrote a story where a character based on her was the heroine; in a tale with a sci-fi ending. In 2006 I knew that she would be in one place for four months. I wrote the book, got it published and sent to her in 3 months. Unfortunately, for me, she got out a month early.
