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.

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.

Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-Five Sunrises: Dad Stories
Price range: $2.99 through $23.99Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Eighty-five Sunrises is a collection of humorous episodes concerning the life of John Estall Berry Jr. Most of the time, I was a willing participant in these, as I like to call them ‘Dad Stories.’ Dad only lived a short time here on earth, but each day he lived was filled with fun, as well as some not-so-fun teaching moments. Over the years, our family has recounted our memories and smile, cry, or simply laugh ourselves silly. Minus a smidge of poetic license and perhaps just a hint of exaggeration by the author, these stories are
as truthfully told as can possibly be.”

The Fire Club: A dangerously humorous journey with a regular crew of irregular firefighters.
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99Cole Walker, an inexperienced fire captain, is cruelly baptized into fire life when he is ripped from his air-conditioned desk job and plunged into the command of an obstinate crew of four mischievous firefighters. Walker’s book-smarts do not prepare him for tumultuous firehouse life, or the vivid horrors of his dangerous profession.
Cole Walker finally realizes his life-long dream when he is promoted to fire captain, and takes the place of a highly respected, veteran captain. Ironically, Walker has never held a command nor even worked in a firehouse! His entire career has been safely sheltered behind the insular walls of headquarters. Rookie Captain Cole Walker painfully discovers he must lead his rebellious firefighters through predicaments he’d never experienced before. In his cathartic journey to prove himself as a worthy field captain, Walker discovers that he must fight more than fire.
His firefighters despise him for his lack of experience, they quarrel and plague him with vicious pranks. A rival captain and nefarious mayor torment Walker through public humiliation, while a mirthful young coed from the ladies Auxiliary sparks a contentious rivalry. In between station conflicts, Walker and crew are deluged with deadly fires and agonizing rescues. Walker and his firefighters struggle to survive the volatile incidents that assail them from both inside and outside the firehouse.
Amid the dangers and persistent firehouse hazing, Walker must allay firefighter rivalries, survive career sabotage, mend broken people, and make command decisions that could easily kill himself and his crew.
