Global Warming: All You Need To Know
Price range: $3.99 through $17.99This is the third book Wilfred Candler has self-published on the problem of Global Warming and the first on the associated issues of our running out of Non-Renewable Natural Resources. These problems will lead us back to the lifestyle we enjoyed before 1750, with or without electricity. As discussed in his book, Wilfred argues that although there is popular agitation to reduce the use of fossil fuels, there is no widespread awareness of the severity of the crisis. In 1750 (and before), the world supported less than a billion people (much less in previous centuries), with horse-drawn transport, little international trade, and no electricity.
People are still promoting a switch to wind and solar electricity generation, seemingly unaware that this only provides intermittent power (think a dark, windless night) when cheaper, permanent, and continuous molten salt nuclear power is available.
Although this book does not have suggestions for how we are to go from eight to one billion people, it does make the case that this is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Helen Gordon: the Woman Behind the Greensheet
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99In 1969, Helen Gordon moved to Houston with her new husband, Robert DeYoung. A no-nonsense, pragmatic mother of three with the heart of a musician and the soul of a painter, Helen was determined to be her own boss by owning and operating her own company. It didn’t take her long to find success. Helen started the Greensheet, a free advertising tabloid with classified ads and a list of business services, in 1970. Within eight years, she expanded it to five Texas cities without the help of bank loans. But she lived in a good of boy atmosphere, in which long lunches over dry martinis were the norm and women were generally absent from the boardroom.
Even so, Helen was undeterred. She was determined to build a company that would prosper, and prosper it did. By 2012, the Greensheet had grown to a circulation of 650,000 and appeared within four Texas cities. Today, her company is a household name and continues to be one of the most successful classified tabloids in the state.
Her irrepressible optimism, sense of humor, and vivacious personality served her well in her personal and professional life. As told by her daughter, Rebecca, Helen Gordon: Th c Woman Behind the Greensheet is Helen’s inspiring true story.
Rebecca G. Blakeley worked for the Greensheet and Gordon Flowers with her mother for more than twenty-nine years. She is currently retired and works as a volunteer in the Houston community.

The House on Becket Lane
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Lord Dashell Lonsdale is considered one of the most eligible bachelors in London, but few-even Lord Lonsdale himself-know that despite appearances, his family fortune is not as secure as he believes. When a chance encounter with an unknown lady on the street shakes his seemingly stable world, the young lord has no idea how to react. She collapses at his feet, a frightened child in her arms. She is whisked away before he can even learn her name. She is Caroline, the younger of two daughters of a family that carries a burden of secrets as well. All they know is that their mother’s tongue is silenced not by pride but by fear-and she took her secret to her grave. Now Caroline lives in a house with only her stepfather to guide her. Lord Lonsdale exploits his station to learn of her identity and where she lives. His arrival triggers an angry quarrel between Caroline and her stepfather. Horrified to have caused such tension within her family, he departs with the promise to return the next day. But duty calls him away before he can keep his promise. He learns that, thanks to the gambling debts of his brother, his family is on the brink of financial ruin. He has no choice but to turn his attention to restoring the family’s fortune and honor. Now Caroline has her own secret to share-and what she must tell him may end their love before it can begin.

Global Warming: The Answer (The Energy Dividend)
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99Global Warming: The Answer takes as given that global warming is man-made and occurring with increasingly adverse effects. After a brief review of the carbon cycle (and how man is disturbing it), the book argues that global warming is an economic problem: Given the right prices, technical solutions will follow. After looking at the (limited) solutions for “personal virtue” in reducing pollution, the book examines the chimera of “a carbon neutral life-style,” and necessity to achieve a fossil-free economy. Cap and Trade is shown to involve huge wealth transfers to established polluters and is thus rejected in favor of a “revenue neutral, carbon tax.” More specifically an initial carbon tax of $250 ton, with the revenue returned the public through lowered payroll taxes in the U.S. (or V.A.T. or sales taxes elsewhere). Existing and pending technologies that will take-off once fossil fuels are taxed are reviewed, as are ancillary policies in support of the carbon tax. Some suggestions are offered for increasing international collaboration. It is emphasized however that to date no significant action has been taken to combat global warming: Kyoto, higher mileage requirements, and An Inconvenient Truth not-withstanding. Action is urgent! But first the public have to understand the answer to global warming.

Weeping: The Soul of a Christian Nation
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99Christianity has been defined and framed by the rulers of kingdoms, civilizations, and governments for thousands of years. A religion started in the name of Jesus is now under more scrutiny than ever, with people being divided over what it means to be humane, to be giving, and to have a good heart. To help ease those divisions, we must go back to the beginning of religion itself. This book takes a deep dive into what the Bible teaches and how those lessons have been interpreted throughout history.
The author seeks to answer questions such as:
•Will history prove that America has sustained her strength because of God’s grace and favor?
•What exactly are Christian principles and what are the origins of these principles? • What does it really mean to “love they neighbor?”
•What message did God give to His people to follow? Throughout the book, the author examines the cause and effect of religion-as well as the principles America was founded upon. He argues that if more people understood the Bible, the country would show more love to all of its citizens.

The Greatest Human Deception
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99The Greatest Human Deception is certainly one of the most explosive thought-provoking books of immense proportions and dimensions. Certainly, a “Christian Classic” and a must-read book beneficial to all. Using indisputable scientific facts, the author diagnoses the reasons for world problems of health, hatred with wars, and provides the “magic” prescription to cure all individuals and world problems. Argues forcibly that the present educational system of the world is flawed because it is in the “wrong direction,” and advocates a “turn around” to the “right type of education.” And inspiration to believers, an eye-opener to unbelievers, a challenge to atheists, agnostics, and the uncommitted. In the Greatest Human Deception, the existence of God is not an exercise of “Quod Erat Faciendum” but a magnificent and colossal statement of “Quod Erat Demonstratum” (that which has been proven or demonstrated). A grand philosophical edifice, cemented with scientific facts.

Jennifer’s Destiny
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Dear Readers,
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I’d be writing this to you, but here goes. I always assumed someone else would write about the author, but this time I decided to do it myself. I’m not much of a reader, mostly for research, but I love to write, poetry, newspaper articles, short stories, and that’s what sort of got this project started. More years ago than I’d like to admit my mom, knowing I like to write, sent me a magazine she subscribed to with a note on the front to look on a certain page where I found a full page describing an amateur writing contest they have every year. It’s been so long ago that I don’t remember what the prize amount was, but it was five figures I do remember that and it could only be up to 25,000 words, I think. Gee, I thought that was an awful lot of words. Had no idea what I might write about, but agreed I’d give it some thought.
Then one day on the USPS rural one hundred and nine miles mail route I used to run an incident that happened to one of the girls in our high school years ago crossed my mind. I was never sure how the unfortunate situation was handled, but while I drove the rest of the route I began to imagine what I’d would do if I was in the same situation. That was the beginning of my short story. I’d think of something out on one of those lonely roads, like it and couldn’t wait until I could get home and put it on paper. When I finished that idea the story contained too many words to enter their contest.
And besides that it didn’t feel finished to me anyway. That’s when my vivid imagination really began to work overtime. As it happened at the time I was going through a divorce and had an abundance of time on my hands, so just let my mind wander. Where would the story go from there? And why? What motivation would that girl have? Really! But fate had in for her something she, like me, could never have imagined. I hope you like what she did, experienced, learned and enjoyed along the way. I think she did!
