My Father and Me is an autobiographical story that incorporates some of my most cherished memories that I have chosen to share with the reader, which is filled with love, a smidgen of danger, and good old-fashioned family values. It all starts in Sicily, Italy, in 1896. Families were migrating to America for a better life as harsh economic times were felt by all. My father Frank starts a gambling house, and it becomes quite successful. The mob steps in, and things get dicey. Frank must figure a way out or else. The family's many activities and interactions sometimes lead to unexpected consequences. While the stories of my experiences growing up are lively and delightful, the stories from my dad and those from friends and family are heart-warming stories of respect and most of all love.

"Ladies and Gentlemen...This is Your Captain Drinking..." When A.L. "Skip" Mahaffey's mom would send him off to visit his father, she'd slip a piece of paper in his hand and tell him, "If he tries to kidnap you, give this to a stranger." Such was the dysfunctional existence growing up with one of the strangest, most bizarre people Mahaffey ever encountered-his dad. Adventures with My Father is a greatest-hits collection of incidents like those, leavened with the kind of humor only Mahaffey can muster. A gifted commercial pilot who was also an alcoholic, Mahaffey's father abandons his family one day at a California motel to live with his girlfriend. But that doesn't end his troubled, complicated relationship with his children. On visits with his dad, young Mahaffey travels the country, stopping at nearly every dive bar along the way. He learns to grocery shop at liquor stores, rubs elbows with the Hollywood elite, wakes up on strange couches in strange countries and encounters the one person who could out-weird his dad: his stepmother. Through it all is a sense of terror, awe, disgust and curiosity at the events that remain vivid decades later. At once profoundly moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Adventures with My Father is a soul-searching attempt to come to terms with one man's unique coming of age.

It was the first religious war fought on American soil and it happened in the twenty first century. It was started by an ambitious State Department upstart, named Thurogood Smith. Upon joining the State Department, he moves to Africa where he foments a war against a non existent Islamic insurgency. The effort nets American mineral companies extraction rights and tremendous profits. His actions prompt the Department to return him to Washington where he starts another war, only this time it is in the American heartland. Relying on his knowledge of religious fanatics and his contacts in the extraction industries, he invents a plan to promote Christian missionary efforts close to the world's oil basins. Setting them up as targets, he works with the American military to come to their rescue which they use to gain a foothold in near the world's major oil producing nations. Using proxy troops American forces train and equip petro armies to insure a secure petroleum supply to America. But instead of steadying the price of oil, the unholy alliance between the military, the petroleum industry, and the religious Fundamentalists causes local conflicts which cause the price of oil to soar in America. In America, reaction to the price rise is swift and the country divides into camps supporting the missionary efforts and those opposed. It is the beginning of a religious war directly on American soil. In reaction, the government creates a new agency called the Department of Americanism (DOA). The DOA unlocks the restraints on the Fundamentalists and unleashes a real religious war in the towns and countryside. The book explores the darker side of religious fanaticism and the potency of its ability to split the country. All sides become trapped in the peculiar logic of war until its surprising conclusion.

Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world. Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work—but not Lulu’s papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There’s an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home—tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. Christy Ottaviano Books

Pilgrims, their life in England, their sojourn in Holland, and their experiences in A merica. The stories were mimeographed, simply illus trated, and used as reading lessons. It soon became evident that the children were living in these stories from day to day, feeling a personal interest in the different characters, and a personal acquaintance with them. An increased interest in reading and a consequent increase in ability to read well were the most immediate results of this work. A desire to know more of a story than these lessons gave, was another valuable result. For this desire on the part of the children to see a story in its natural setting, and to know what came before and what followed after, showed that they had reached the period which is a happy time for laying a strong foundation upon which to build later work; a time in which the awakened interest in people and events should be used to establish a firm basis for future reading and study in both biography and history.
