Evil Ethics Conscience
Imperfection and Doubt
4th Quarter 2011
Description
Everywhere we turn we meet ourselves. And in
doing so we must all inevitably deal with evil, ethics,
imperfections, conscience and doubt. I realized this, and wanted to
make sense of this fact by finding out for myself what are the
nature and implications of each. The discoveries I made apply to
anyone.
The Idiocy
of My Odyssey (a fun and engaging Memoir)
4th Quarter 2011
Description
I had odd beginnings.
I was born during a Nazi air raid, raised in deprivation and then
proceeded to live an even stranger and unpredictable life in the
many countries I lived or visited. I have had three careers:
teaching, business and writing. My memories of them range from
profound to confusing to funny to downright peculiar. I recount them
all along with lessons learned. Self-discovery is achieved partly by
memory, and memory is provoked by writing.
Essay Writing for High School
Students
4th Quarter 2011
Description
I wrote this book in response to the new SAT
requirement. In it I describe the
“how” of writing as good essay. More importantly, however, I show
how a student or teacher can discover an idea which is worth writing
about: the “what.” A
skillfully written essay in response to a question but which has a
poorly thought-out or inadequate message will never accomplish its
purpose. However, even a modestly well-written essay with an
interesting message will
get the attention of the reader, be they an SAT examination reader,
college entrance examiner or prospective employer.
The Anglezarke Trilogy: Book One: We
Are Your Ghosts
1st Quarter 2012
Description
Two young boys from aristocratic English
families meet at a Catholic boarding school in the early nineteen
hundreds. They leave and go their separate ways; one becomes a
Benedictine monk and one a British army officer. They meet again and
cement their friendship in the horrors of the trenches of the
Western Front in France. One is now a chaplain, the other his
commanding officer.
Book One of
“The Anglezarke Trilogy”
transports its readers back in time to an era, and to places, they
may never have imagined: the British trenches of World War One, an
English manor house, a monastery near the Hindenburg Line, even a
French bordello.
Accounts of heroism, humor, intrigue, tragedy, indiscretion, doubt, conscience, romance and betrayal are all chronicled against authentic and richly detailed backdrops. The main characters are the commanding officer, the monk, a Sergeant Major, the medical officer, an army nurse, two young officers, two private soldiers and a Jewish prisoner of war.
This work of historical fiction is a story of
how love, truth, beauty, goodness and the mystery of faith can be
lost and redeemed, even in the Hell of the Western Front, where in
1917, man’s inhumanity was on display, as well as many of mankind’s
innovative yet hideous weapons of mass destruction, such as tanks,
flame-throwers, barbed wire, airplanes, tanks and poisonous gas,
deployed for the first time.
