Seymour Rose is an African American man who is gay. He was born to a father who is Catholic and accepts his son unconditionally and a mother who is born Methodist and is homophobicbut most of all, she tells her son throughout his life that she never wanted to have him. Seymour reflects on three generations of his family history and often tells family stories to make sense of his years of emotional insecurity and feelings of being unloved and unwanted. His mother is Estelle. She is a strong African American woman whose mother died when she was ten years old. Her father forced her to be surrogate wife and mother to her younger sister and brother. When the Great Depression of the late 1920s occurred and wiped out the familys finances, they were forced into a life of destitution. Never having enough money, she lived and dreamed of growing up and having a job and money of her own. Her dream of having a job was put on hold when she learns she is pregnant. She married and, within a year of the first child, she gives birth to a second child. She is angry with herself because she wanted to go to work before having children. Just as soon as she gets the first two children in grade school and she can live her dream of having a job, she learns she is pregnant again. This child is Seymour, and she repeatedly tells him in her disgust and frustration, Child, God wanted you here, boybecause I never wanted to have you! Seymours reaction to his mothers persistent comments was to cling closer to his mother with hopes that, one day, she would tell him she loved him and wanted him. When he informs his mother that he is gay, this compounds her distaste for this child. At the end of her life, Estelle reveals to Seymour her years of malcontent with her son, and he comes to terms with his mother and his family history. This book is fictitious but based on a true story.

ROOTS FROM WHENCE WE CAME, (love, devotion and tender thoughts) is a collection of poems and writings by Elsie Buscher Diemer, two of her children and a great-granddaughter. Elsies contributions began during her high school years in the early 1920 ́s and continued throughout the rest of her life untill she passed away in 1970. Her first born, Paul J. Diemer and second child, Eleanor Diemer Sidley, likewise began their writings during their high school years. Their writings cover the era from the earliest 1950 ́s til the present 2008. Elsie’s great-granddaughter, Jenna Burnett started putting her thoughts in writing during her preteen years. This collection encompasses the thoughts, beliefs and desires of these four authors. At times you find nostalgia, humor, faith and perhaps a little despair throughout these pages. There is also some history lessons on the building of a community and the making of a viable family farm. Some fiction enters in with Paul’s stories of the mountain man, Bill Starkey, which includes some Indian lore. We hope this book holds your attention and, perhaps, kindle a desire to put your own thoughts and feelings to pen and paper.

As one of the youngest members of a poor African American family working a farm owned by a wealthy landowner in Willow Creek, Georgia, Lottie picks beans under the hot sun, shells peas on the front porch, and carefully observes her mother as she approaches every hardship with pride, prayer, and a focus on family values. Although Lotties family usually has more monthly bills than income, they still manage to enjoy wonderful meals prepared by her mother, who makes tasty pots of ham hocks, green beans, and red potatoeswith pound cake for dessert. As Lottie goes about her days on the farm, she aspires to become a doctor and gathers strength to pursue her dreams from the role models around her, including her mother, her aunt Ella, and her grandmother, Nana Rose. But it is not long before Lottie soon realizes that nothing lasts forevereven in Willow Creek. From Whence We Came shares the compassionate, historical tale of a southern African American family as they attempt to overcome challenges and adjust as life takes them in a new direction.

A night creature stalks the streets of the Big Apple! Something grabbed Jamal and yanked him into the pitch-blackness of the tunnel. A horrid sound emitted from the dark tunnel, followed by a heartrending scream that could only be Jamal. Brayton got to his hands and knees and feebly crawled away from the darkness, away from Jamal and what had taken him. The few yards to the tunnel’s opening seemed miles away to Brayton as he heard Jamal’s frightening screams. “Help—help me—please!” Jamal bellowed out as a hideous snarling filled the tunnel. “Help meeee!” the bully cried again. Brayton finally reached the opening as Jamal’s teammates ran past him into the dark tunnel. The horrendous sounds that came from the tunnel caused Brayton to move faster. He scrambled up the stone stairs and stood up. Brayton Washington flopped over the fence he had just jumped over minutes before. Landing onto the crossing, he looked west. He did not want to cross the arch, yet Brayton desperately needed to get home. Home to his mother. Brayton braved the arch. New York City faces an ancient evil that threatens the future of mankind. Terror strikes home as science reaches the depths of arrogance and folly. An obsessed telecom tycoon, a troubled dreamer, and a mysterious dark-haired beauty lie at the heart of this techno-chiller that you should not read before bedtime. Dare you wake the inner monster that dwells in the darkness of the human soul? Proceed with caution! Lest you suffer the fate of those who dream too much. Evil stands among us!
