Aging Well 2020 and Caregiving
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99This is the newest and most comprehensive book on both subjects, not technical but conversational and sometimes even humorous. Most books on aging are written by those aged fifty or younger who never experienced the senior years. The authors of this book are 80 and 90 years old. They talk about aging and caregiving from the Old horse’s mouth.
Walter Oleksy, 90, author of more than thirty books and a former Chicago Tribune feature writer, reports the latest medical achievements for Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other afflictions of the elderly. From his own experience as a caregiver, he offers advice on caregiving and nursing home visiting. Avis Carlson wrote a weekly newspaper column on aging for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch when she was 80. She tells about the cons of aging: identity problems, self-esteem, aloneness; and the pros of aging: freedoms in aging, acceptance of age, sex and aging, achieving religious growth, laughing at life and death.

Alex: The Birth of His Revenge
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99There was a dead body found in a parking lot of a convenience store. It was said to be a gruesome sight to behold. It was so distorted that it wasn’t even recognizable. There was nothing on it that could link it to someone. No identification was left on it. No cell phone or wallet or anything of the sort. It only had some clothes on it that were so torn up and destroyed that they didn’t even look like any clothes anymore. They did not cover anything at all. The only thing covering the body was blood. The man’s own blood. That was oozing from all over his body. Because it was as if someone had tried to skin him alive. Or dead. There were no witnesses to tell what exactly happened.
His face was unrecognizable. His fingerprints were shaved away. There was nothing linking him to his identity. So it had taken a lot of time to even investigate who the victim was, let alone the murderer. An artificial face reconstruction had to be done to know who that was. But even when police had identified the victim, they still had no clue who the killer was. He had left no clue behind. At that moment in time, everyone just wished that he wouldn’t be looking for another victim.

All About Life: A Black Man’s Journey
Price range: $3.99 through $7.99With an intensity of understanding and a straightforward wisdom, Johnny Albritton, Jr. writes poetry that is, indeed, All About Life.
In this, his debut collection of published verses, Mr. Albritton examines the spiritual and physical life of man, and how one deals with each from day to day. His poems burst forth with images about everyday life that range in theme from criticizing apathy to celebrating one’s newfound relationship with the Lord. It is not often readers of fine religious poetry get to absorb a man’s vision of the world that is not condescending but uplifting in its intent. Johnny Albritton, Jr. certainly achieves that, and much more.
The poet recognizes that he and his readers have to answer to God every day, but how to do that is the key. Are hearts opened in joyful song? Or are the lower depths of society, those that can only cause harm, sought out? In poems such as Job the Man” “Chasing After the Wind” and “What’s Going On? ” to name but a few, Mr. Albritton’s keen wit, sensitive lament, and defined optimism are clear. In others, such as “What Happened to Justice? ” and “A Prayer for Mankind” he continues to boldly clarify today’s state of affairs as he sees it, whether good or bad, right or wrong. Whatever your present state of mind, the poems in All About Life, by Johnny Albritton, Jr., have that unique ability to entertain inform and enlighten.
Johnny Albritton Jr, grew up in New Jersey, attended Lincoln Tech Trade School, and later served in the United States Navy. An athlete when younger, he earned a four year scholarship to Tennessee State University before enjoying his lifelong self-employed business of appliance refrigeration and air conditioning service. He also enjoys inventing and of course writing poetry from his home in Florida.

Almost Heaven
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99Almost Heaven was originally titled Ballengee. I wrote during the early 80s while driving an eighteen-wheeler across the fruited plain of America and Canada. The characters of Almost Heaven are based on my memories of folks I knew while spending time with my summer parents on the farm in Ballengee, West Virginia. My Summer parents were named Lester and Fonda Lively. Ballengee was a farming and dairy country filled with unique folks. I started going there in 1954 and continued each summer until 1965. I always thought fiction was born of truth, and I filled Ballengee with fictitious characters from impressions of the folks I met there. The storyteller of the work never revealed his name, but if he had, it would have been Ragamuffin. It was a name given to me by Lester when asked who the little boy was hanging around him in the summer. Lester said, “Why, he is my Ragamuffin.” Ballengee is a real place, and I turned it into a small town filled with interesting folks who made it Almost Heaven.

Amazing Grace: Grace Infinie

I saw heaven was very beautiful the blue was extremely brilliant and in the middle of heaven I saw “Amazing Grace” and I saw it in French as well “Grace Infinie” both were written in white color. In the dream, I saw some ladies stood up beside me and I said to them you don’t see “Amazing Grace” writing in heaven, they said no we do not see it, I continually told them you don’t see “Amazing Grace” writing in heaven they said no we don’t see it.
I continued to say the same thing and they did not see what I saw until I woke up.
