On Both Sides of the River
Price range: $14.99 through $24.99Mark and his men boarded their rafts with the remaining load of high grade cocaine from a cartel in Colombia. Mark was happy. He was crossing the river for the last time.
“I’ll be seeing you in about a month, Don Narciso,” Mark lied.
Mark found a place on the raft to sit amongst the bricks of cocaine. The dope was wrapped with surgeon masking tape.
Mark never looked back.
In the meantime, Don Narciso’s men set the trap. They were not too eager to intercept the load of cocaine under the cover of the vega on the American side. They were familiar with the routes taken by illegal aliens. Narciso’s men followed a familiar maze of trails made by the feral hogs that fed on tender roots at night and during daylight snoozed under the shade of the jaras and carrizales. The fear in their eyes glowed when fireflies shined only to disappear and appear elsewhere. Even the murmer of the river’s swift current could not soothe the fear Don Narciso’s men were experiencing. It was not so smart of Dan Narciso to double-cross Mark Balbuena. The young man was crazy and violent. But, they had to follow orders or else.

On the Way
Price range: $3.99 through $27.99When William (Dub) Brooks and George Sayre first met, they soon realized they shared a mutual love for Ireland’s northwest coast. One had a passion for writing verse. The other had a love of photography. They decided to spend a month together in Ireland viewing with their separate lenses and combining their views in this book. There were four driving mechanisms.
Most of us dream of taking a “time out” to go on a journey. Virgil and Dante come to mind.
The two authors have a yearning to see Ireland again but in a differing light. It would cover thirty-three days of grand effort and joyous exploration.
That prism being also enhanced by the frame of raw winter. Who knew a Nor’easter would blow through the island and captivate and intrigue the people in the grip of HY’s unique brand of cold? It certainly added flavor and character to the sojourn.
The basis of our journey was threefold.
One was to capture the powerful hues and chromas of Ireland. No other land hosts such verdancy.
The second was to trace the various and sundry foot paths of W. B. Yates, writer after the Irish manner, romantic and modernist, dramatist, poet, and passionate believer who proclaimed Ireland’s wondrous brand of seeing and expression.
Dromahair (Lough Gill), Drumcliff, and Sligo being our northwestern home base.
Lastly we wanted to follow and appreciate the establishments and creative works of St. Cohlumncille, artist and author of Celtic Christian communities and hand-drawn books from the sixth century CE.
We hope that our journey inspires your own freeing journey of the heart that allows each of us to realize and to expand our inner horizons and to liberate our souls’ deep desire to see. -

One Touch Nursing Calculations
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99I stumbled upon this formulae when I went for a medication exam at the Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. I was not informed that I would be doing a medication exam so I did not go over my medication calculation formulae. As any nurse would testify, if you cannot remember your medication calculation formulae, you are doomed to fail. Out of desperation, frustration and scratching my head, I tried this formula and it worked. I have been using this formulae since 1995 and it has been successful all the time. I have even modified and made it simple. This formulae is the best because it is based on a system. Just like any system, it is dependable and predictable. This will give nurses the assurance to do their work. But more importantly, it will give them the peace of mind to care for their patients. This is fun.
