Tales of Romance by George Thomas Clark

They seek love or companionship on dating websites and meet people at work or on the phone or even at the southern border. They marry or date and quarrel with each other or former spouses unwilling to step aside.

They tire of each other and seek intimacy wherever and however they can find it. They break up and reconcile and divorce and do so in ways reasonable and outrageous. That’s how it is in Tales of Romance.

Autism and a Father’s Love For His Daughter.

Paper in the Wind: Peeling back the lifespan of autism by Olivia Mason-Charles

autismPaper in the Wind is a compassionate and riveting story depicting a single father’s dedication to his daughter. In the midst of the overwhelming struggles that accompanied autism, he continues to persevere. Her father’s love enabled her to overcome insurmountable obstacles, discovered the power of love and embraced the gift of life.

 

 

 

Amazon Reviews:

What an all round delicate story! From Michael’s dedication to her daughter, Alexa, to Jonathan’s love for her, this is a feel good story! I started reading this story with my mind wide open to what I thought would be a sad story about autism, but ended reading a touching love story. Alexa lived with autism, but she did not let it stunt her life.

Michael McKenzie, Alexa’s father worked tirelessly and relentlessly to see that her daughter enjoyed a good quality of life, even as she struggled with autism. He was tireless in looking for remedies that would help her daughter. As he discovered new remedies, Alexa’s personality and sympathy for others not only grew, but made her a force, and a mentors for others like her.

Jonathan was her rock! Their love for one another is such that are only read about in fairy tales. It was the strength and power of this love that motivated Alexa to push forward without letting her shortcomings define her life.

This should be required reading beginning with anyone in education and continuing on to those who want to make the world a better place. Telling the story of a long fought battle, successfully won, covers the years of a single father fighting to protect his autistic daughter and yet enable her to achieve beyond the boundaries set by others in the educational environment.

It is a sad commentary that I was 40 before I was even exposed to any knowledge of autism. Thankfully the district I worked for, Mesquite ISD in Texas, required teachers get their Master’s degree if they wished to continue teaching there, and that was the beginning of my introduction to autism. There are more than one hero and heroine in this well told recount of the progress beyond the main character. It my delight to learn a bit more about some of the struggles faced by parents and children over 30 years later.

Meet the author of the Silver Sisters Mysteries, Morgan St. James:

Silver Sisters author, Morgan St. JamesMorgan St. James is former interior designer who is now the author of 15 books. A frequent panelist, moderator and speaker, Morgan lives in Las Vegas with her trusty rescue dog Dylan, and is on the board of Writers of Southern Nevada.

When she first participated on panels or gave workshops, she was always asked if she had a book about writing. She didn’t have one, but had written over 600 published articles about the craft and business of writing. Using the most popular topics, she was inspired to write WRITERS’ TRICKS OF THE TRADE as an easy, fun-to-read guide for writers and authors at all stages of their careers, available in Kindle, eBook and paperback. She also publishes the Writers Tricks of the Trade quarterly online magazine, which can be found at www.joomag.com.

Her career started with the first book in the award-winning Silver Sisters Mysteries series, A CORPSE IN THE SOUP. This series, currently at four books with a new one in plotting stages, written with her real life sister Phyllice Bradner, features a team of identical twins–Goldie, an over-the-hill flower child who owns an antique shop in Juneau, Alaska and her fashionista twin Godiva, a wealthy syndicated advice columnist who lives on an estate in Beverly Hills, California. Their elderly mother and uncle, former vaudeville magicians, are the sidekicks who love to dress in disguise and go undercover. They don’t have to look for trouble–it finds them. The sisters love writing this series together, but most important, it has brought them together as best friends as well as co-authors and sisters. Fun, fast moving, filled with twists, turns and laughs.

Other humorous stand-alone mysteries include BUMPING OFF FAT VINNY, a funny fictional crime caper co-authored with true crime writer Dennis N. Griffin, and RIPOFF, featuring a plot to embezzle millions from the Federal government that would have worked but for three savvy women. Co-authored with Caroline Rowe, it was inspired by some actual incidents when they both worked for the same government contractor. Who knew manufacturing in Federal prisons is close to a billion dollar a year business?

INCEST, MURDER AND A MIRACLE: The True Story Behind the Cheryl Pierson Murder-For-Hire Headlines, LA BELLA MAFIA: Bella Capo’s true story of surviving abuse and BETRAYED, inspired by actual events of kidnapping and rape that happened in Chicago in the late 1950s, are a departure from the award-winning Silver Sisters Mysteries, and have received acclaim. Through writing these books, Morgan became an advocate for abuse awareness.

Her first single author anthology, The MAFIA FUNERAL and Other Short Stories was released in paperback and Kindle in February 2012. Morgan was editor and a contributor to her mother Rosetta Schwartz’s delightful memoir, CAN WE COME IN AND LAUGH, TOO?, released in May 2012. Her short stories appear in many anthologies, including three in Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

Morgan loves to tell stories, and many situations or characters are inspired by her personal experiences. She has been fortunate to travel extensively, meet people in all walks of life and has had experience in many fields. Writing has been her passion since the late 1990s.
