    A love story: Jackie Riley and Joanie Callahan were teenage sweethearts at Gillingham High School from 1955-through 1957 and the first two years of college. Forty-three years later, Jackie is on the verge of publishing his first novel, when he stumbles upon the Classmates.com website and discovers that, like himself, Joanie is into her second marriage and living just over the New Hampshire/Maine line, only a few hours from his home in Massachusetts. Joanie (a school teacher) sends her first emails to Jackie from her school computer and it all flows from that beginning. There is mutual enticement pleasure and delight as they bathe in the comfort and unrestrained intimacy they have discovered once again. Their physical desires build rapidly, but getting to know each other anew under the weight of the vastly different lives they have led, is a much slower and complex process, beset with all sorts of obstacles. They meet several times that first year and into the second year continue to meet and communicate through Instant Messaging until reality sets in and they are forced to contend with the deeper issues of duty/loyalty, different religious, political and philosophical outlooks, and a plethora of other conflicting habits, values and views. As they begin to contemplate the ultimate consequences of their relationship, they must make choices that will either tear them apart or lead them to a new direction that neither of them had anticipated or even dreamt was possible. A monumental decision is made and the reader is left to decide whether or not it is the wisest one for both, or one of them.

    IT'S OKAY TO LIE IF YOUR FINGERS ARE CROSSED TIME: August, 1950. PLACE: A suburb north of Fenway Park This title, "It's Okay to Lie if Your Fingers are Crossed," is based on a ritual kids perpetrated in the forties and fifties, which exempted them from the LIAR label, providing they crossed their fingers behind them, unbeknownst to the person or persons to whom they were lying. The hero of the story is eleven year-old Billy Flynn, a schooled and consummate liar, who lives in a suburb north of Fenway Park. With the ironic bite of his sense of humor, his unusual way of surviving and seeing through the pretensions of the adult world around him, Billy Flynn could very well remind one of an eleven-year-old Holden Caulfield, minus the rich parents and sympathetic sister. But this boy is a working class kid (third generation Irish-American) who would never see the inside of a prep school. Billy's goals are relatively simple: He wants to "hear" the Lone Ranger unmasked on radio, get a paper route, play center-field in Little League and obtain reliable information about sex (not necessarily in that order) but His means of attaining these goals are beyond-the-pale. There are poignant moments-especially the scenes between Billy and his mother, which depict a relationship partially driven by love, but also by conflict and mutual distrust. A reader who appreciates the game of baseball, will enjoy this book-especially if he or she is familiar with how the game used to be played by the kids themselves in an open field without adults hounding their every move. The kids created their own rules, such as no one base rule, and when a player hits a fly ball and the outfielder falls into the brook in deep center catching it, it is still an out. This book is not recommended to readers under thirteen, because the language gets raw from time to time and the story deals with sexual issues--not in a prurient sense, but rather in a developmental sense, as an eleven-year-old might actually experience it. The pages are populated by real to life characters and situations, written in a down to earth storytelling style, with a humorous kick to it, and occasionally a surreal feel to it. "IT'S OKAY TO LIE If Your Fingers Are Crossed" is recommended for young adults, adults, and seniors who might find the period, 1950, of special interest.

    Devastating changes have been imposed upon America. You no longer live in a free country! An evil invading force covertly attacked and captured America long ago. Most people are clueless about this invasion, since no foreign power carried it out. It came from within by the communists who stealthily infiltrated all governments in America, as well as industry, academia, media and more. No American government upholds the Constitution, the supreme Law of this Land, but all of them unlawfully enforce communist policies upon the people. A free nation does not oppose its Constitution, but upholds it.A free nation does not force despotic communism upon its people. A free nation has a free economy, not a fraudulent private-bank-controlled system.A free nation upholds freedom, not tyranny!ByPass the Banks reveals how the American people can:¿ Restore Constitutional governance to America¿ Buy/sell/finance property of all types without banks¿ Create a people-based economy founded in tangible value and measurable assets¿ Use simple, common-sense methods to purchase or sell a family home or create fabulous unimaginable wealth¿ Stop the fraudulent, controlling Federal Reserve financial system and ByPass the Banks!About the Authors:Since they were young children, Jack and Margy Flynn have seen this world very differently from most people. Jack grew up during WWII and saw servicemen come home with mutilated bodies, broken in mind and spirit, because opposing forces destroyed each other on land, in the air, on the sea and under the sea. None of this made any sense to Jack and he questioned reality from the very beginning, because there had to be a better way than devastating war contrived by ruthless governments! Understanding and exposing the true cause behind this insanity has been his life's objective. As an only child, much of Margy's time was spent with adults, so she was privy to adult conversations and discussions about life, death, politics, spirituality, world events, ethics and morality. This led to her keen interest in understanding reality, her deep insights into the true human condition on this Earth and her search for the reasons behind it. Her lifelong pursuit has been truth, justice, fairness and freedom for her fellow humans. Jack and Margy's combined efforts over many decades have helped empower people to win thousands of victories, both in and out of court, against corrupt, unconstitutional American governments.
