The Myth Of Being

When the US government offers him a top-secret assignment working with German and Russian scientists in Iran to develop a new weaponized drug—along with a significant pay raise—Ivan jumps at the opportunity. Soon, however, his suspicious nature forces him to question the work’s real purpose. He discovers the German-Russian team are creating a weapon of mass destruction, and his suspicions are confirmed: the CIA didn’t plant him as a scientist but as a spy.
Meanwhile, Ivan’s son, Michael, has become a member of a US Special Operations team. Michael hasn’t spoken to his estranged father in years, and he never expects them to meet again. When they do, the circumstances will demand that they rediscover their ability to trust in each other. Their lives may depend on it.

In each chapter, after the narrative, there are descriptions of the officers and what they were doing, followed by information about the enlisted men. At the end of the book, there are several appendices that present lists of men for various times. The names are listed chronologically first and then alphabetically.

The Open Road: An African Walking
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99The Open Road is a sojourner’s tale. Each day, an immigrant lands on America’s shores in search of opportunity. For Africans, coming to America has largely in the past been in search of education followed by a return to the homeland. While on the surface, The Open Road is the author’s experience and firsthand observations, it unfolds complex relationships that face immigrants of African origin as they struggle to get a slice of the American dream. It presents a close look at race, apathy and indifference toward an African immigrant, whose adjustment sometimes-alien environment is determined by the effects of the colonial culture. To cope, the author develops the ability to glide like a swan between white and black races without being a victim or captive of race. It is a quest that all might not achieve; but one that, despite all the bruises, is worth fighting for.

Bear Stories
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99“Bear Stories” is a collection of seventy-seven tales that are designed to be humorous while still speaking to larger issues and truths. This is a rich, multi-faceted manuscript that is designed to appeal to readers of all ages. Among his “Bear Stories,” Shaffer delivers the unknown biography of Smokey the Bear, he celebrates the cleverness of Wilbear and Orville Bear as they take to the skies, and he reveals how the assistance of a bear helped result in the invention of the light bulb. He tells the “true” story of the history of the home run – a bear named Homer who walloped the ball in every at-bat – as well as that of the discovery of electricity (by Bear Franklin), and the telephone (by Alexander Graham Bear).
In addition to his more creative stories (such as the aforementioned), Shaffer’s manuscript also draws its inspiration from current situations, as in “Bears in the City,” which is based on a headline seen to that effect. His stories capture the nature and setting of the Old West, small-town America, Nazi Germany, and Roaring Twenties’ Hollywood; in some ways, therefore, his work could help introduce young readers to certain periods and events in history.
Shaffer’s use of language is both enjoyable and humorous. In addition, his delightfully self-deprecating tone may appeal to readers. The rhyme and meter utilized throughout the manuscript help to move it forward effectively, while Shaffer’s use of personification is nothing short of masterful, and may further endear him to readers, both young and old. Ultimately, his work is a fun, smart collection that could have a wide appeal.

It isn’t a matter of “IF” it is a matter of just “WHEN.” Then what? If this life here on this great earth was all that I have hope in, I would be the most miserable person that man would know. This hope that I have today is BIG. This hope is spiritual and I am today grateful to share this Greater hope with you. This hope gives me a new life day by day. I can now live a normal life and have great hope in tomorrow. May The Creator of All Breath Keep You,
