The Sixth Son is the second novel of a trilogy on human trafficking involving US Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and their relentless effort to curb Mexican cartel shipments of kidnapped women and children across the US border. Unlike the prequel, The Old Cop, which involved a retired US Agent, Agustín Camelia's intrepid efforts to battle this evil, The Sixth Son concerns the struggles of a highly regarded Maryland family, the Mancinis, who recently made a bizarre discovery about their late patriarch, Geovani Mancini, who migrated to the US from Sicily in 1939 with the assistance of Sicilian mafia members. Unknown dubious New York relations now threaten to tear the family apart. Geovani Mancini's sons and daughter, who now run the family business, agree to withhold these findings from the rest of the family until a private investigator thoroughly investigates. Meanwhile, unrelated to the familial turmoil, a young grandson and college student, Alex Mancini, has accepted a job as an intern with HSI while finishing his master's degree. Among his duties is interviewing recent victims of human trafficking and preparing them for court testimony. The case involves twenty-seven women rescued by HSI in La Vergne, Tennessee, two months prior. While interacting with HSI Special Agents on this investigation, Alex learns about Camelia's contributions to the case and his mysterious disappearance in Mexico. Gripped with the story, he volunteers to determine his current whereabouts. Alex's probe places him in the crosshairs of the Mexican cartel members, who are poised to retaliate against US intruders.

"HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS and Much More" is Pat Morrell-Donnelly's tenth (10th) book to publish. It has been said "Don't look back if you don't want to go that way." This is true when looking back at mistakes and challenges one has faced. But sometimes it is good to reflect on the past particularly regarding special holidays, events and happy times. "Precious memories how they linger." It is sometimes helpful to reminisce and remember loved ones and friends, many of whom are no longer with us. Recalling special Christmas's, Thanksgiving dinners and get-together's with family and friends can be good for the soul. Nostalgia 2 point O. It is good to spend a few moments in thought regarding these joy-filled celebrations, special times and memorable events spent with loved ones. "HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS and Much More" speaks to just those things, those celebrations and events so precious to recall. This book contains 200 poems Pat has written through the eighties, nineties, two thousand and on about different holidays and celebrations. After some of the sets of poems there are pictures depicting the occasion, and pictures of Pat's table settings representing each holiday or event. Some poems also convey what was going on in the country, to some extent, particularly the years about which her poem was written. Also some poems tell about what was going on in Pat's life at that particular time. To find all of the New Year's poems in one place, covering so much of the past history, is quite unusual and unique. Pat's first book to publish "The Climb Up Life's Mountain" was published in 2009 when Pat was eighty years of age. Her ninth book "All About Love" was published July 2023. Pat published her first nine books in fifteen years. Pat has written over eighteen (1800) hundred poems. Pat shares many of her life's experiences through her poetry. Thoughts wake her up in the night and she scribbles those thoughts, or poem, on a note pad deciphering the next morning. She has written many poems while under the hair dryer. Pat's aim is to get her poems out of her computer into books so they will not be lost forever when she is no longer here. At age ninety-four only the Good Lord knows when the final page of her "Life's Book" will be written and finished. Pat is thankful for the "gift" God has given her to write poetry. If it lifts some ones spirit, or takes them away for a few minutes from worldly cares, it will have been worth her time publishing this book.

In keeping with the saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," She explores the femininity found within the Trinity. This is where we, as women, begin to find answers to who we are and what we're meant to be. Author Lenné Hunt explains that many things hinder women from coming into the fullness of God, the truth of their own identity, and an authentic life. You might have a tale of woe that stems from your childhood. Or perhaps you've lived as an unmentored woman-with no one to speak into your feminine soul and no guide for your journey of becoming. Perhaps it's simply from your experience in a difficult world where Eve and her daughters have often been targeted by the evil one, sometimes wearing the guise of authority figures (from civil government to church leadership, school officials, and workplace bosses) and sometimes speaking through the voice of wounded Adam. She offers an invitation to explore the journey of your life and the collective experience of women.

Moonlight Parker thinks she lives in a normal world, unaware of the magic that runs in her blood. Minu Ginger is the victim of a tragic past, in which a war took both her parents. When Moonlight gets a visit from Minu -her newly assigned unicorn- she's introduced to a world she's never imagined. Harmony is a magical place in the clouds where unicorns, dragons, and magical beings called Petunians live alike, unknown to humankind. Minu is the ruler of Harmony and has now introduced Moonlight to the future she will lead at Manona High, a school of magic in the clouds. Moonlight is to study the magic in her blood at Manona High, and she learns how to control the powers within her Strixcus -the relic she uses to perform magic. But it all goes downhill when Minu reveals to Moonlight her dark past, and the brother she used to have. Guller Ginger is the monster who struck a war against the rest of Harmony. He rallied up all Dark Unicorns -the bloody creatures who are the only enemies known to Harmony- in an attempt to take over Harmony, and murder his own sister. When bodies start dropping dead at Manona High, Moonlight can't take it anymore. The abnormal magic, the dead bodies, and the murderer out to get her and her friends are too much for her. But when Guller reveals his return, hell reigns glory over the surface of the clouds, and it's obvious that he's coming for Moonlight -the only Maroon Petunian alive other than Guller himself. The hunt for the Noble Ruby begins, and now Moonlight has to stay and fight. It's a race against time, magic, and Guller himself. Bodies drop dead, betrayal is in the air, and history is bound to repeat itself.

All of my family and many friends are scattered in various states or countries. So when I die, they needn't gather in California for my funeral, as I do not plan to have one. My goal is to have my lawyer, or a friend, send everyone I know, a copy of my memoir/advice book--NOW I ASK YOU--to save everyone the hassle of traveling on short notice. It is not worth their time, effort, and inconvenience, nor the money involved. Throughout my 84 years (so far), I have garnered tons of personal experiences--good, bad, and so-so. As such, I have chosen 120 subjects to share. Each section has three parts: It starts with NOW I ASK YOU questions and/or advice for the reader, then my personal story, followed by inspirational quotations, both old and new, from the famous, the not so famous, and the anonymous, pertaining to that particular experience. Few individuals have heard all of these tales, so many will be new to them. (I have actually heard friends become angry, when I would tell one of my stories to others, and they hadn't heard it before. How weird is that?) Although I tried to place my memories in chronological order, the reader can dive in anywhere, as each story can stand alone. I hope readers will smile or laugh or cringe at some of my difficult, unpleasant, funny, or embarrassing experiences. This 24th book of mine is just my way of leaving a historical record, of sorts, for my family, as well as a roadmap for friends, neighbors, former students, and other readers, to learn from my failures and successes (always a teacher at heart!). Understand your life as a kaleidoscope of experiences that move and change. --L.D. Thompson We should learn from the mistakes of others. We don't have time to make them all ourselves. --Groucho Marx

Desde que la humanidad comenzó a vivir en ciudades, los problemas de viviendas urbanas superpobladas y con servicios inadecuados han sido parte de la vida urbana al comienzo de la historia. Ya en el año 3.000 a. C., la historia más antigua registrada en Egipto y Mesopotamia, y la Biblia menciona asentamientos informales. Los muros del Templo de Salomón en Jerusalén congregaban a vendedores ambulantes y vendedores ambulantes que vivían en asentamientos precarios. El siglo XXI ya es el primero en el que la población urbana cruzará el umbral de la mitad de la población mundial, incluso en los continentes menos poblados. El mundo avanza rápidamente hacia la "urbanización máxima", que ya se ha completado en gran medida en Europa y América del Norte y del Sur. El crecimiento demográfico será absorbido principalmente por las ciudades del mundo en desarrollo, que duplicarán su tamaño para 2030. Tres cuartas partes del crecimiento se producirán en ciudades con entre 1 y 5 millones de habitantes o ciudades más pequeñas con menos de 500.000 habitantes. Hay poca o ninguna planificación para acoger a estas personas o proporcionarles servicios. En respuesta a este y otros desafíos de sostenibilidad, la Declaración del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas ha establecido metas para "mejorar las vidas de al menos 100 millones de habitantes de barrios marginales para 2020" mediante la reducción de la pobreza y la mejora del agua y el saneamiento.
