The Autobiography of Jimmy Lee.
Jimmy Lee has led some sort of life!
He had a start in life few would have survived; he was taken into care at three years old and by the time he was eleven he had moved home ten times and attended nine different schools.
His early adolescence was hard by any standards. At fourteen, he ran away to join the Royal Navy and was sent, along with 2000 other boys, to the notorious HMS Ganges at Shotley, in Suffolk, a training establishment where a harsh regime held sway.
He had the misfortune to be placed under the care of two particularly brutal instructors, prone to drunkenness, whose continual bullying and abuse proved too much for his emerging free spirit.
Jim fought back and deserted on numerous occasions. Among his many punishments, he suffered ‘cuts’, a particularly brutal form of naval punishment. The next six years passed with regular naval detentions in the Royal Naval Detention Quarters, Portsmouth, involving exhausting routines and solitary confinements, which ended with a twelve month sentence in the infamous HM Military Prison Corradina, Malta, after which he was dismissed from the Service and returned to civilian life.
Then his troubles really began!
Winner of 20 book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author’s father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgium border on February 8,1944.
Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable.
Even before the dramatic battle in the air and the subsequent harrowing events on the ground, the story is informative, insightful, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event, the book covers the crew’s training, their journey to England, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany.
Through personal letters, oral and written accounts, declassified military documents, and interviews – all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) – the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of “being there”, are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book.
To add background and context, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals, featuring pilot Howard Snyder, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history.
An American family in crisis and how they deal with it. An aging WWII veteran with dementia, a pregnant daughter bein stalked by her meth using boyfriend, and a preteen becoming a teenager are what we see. Behind the scenes, a greater crisis is gathering as an old enemy of one of the family gets ready to take revenge from his post as manager of a security firm contracted to the NSA. By the end of the story you will be wondering who has your information and what are they going to do with it. Available in both Kindle and paperback.

Sammon gives Trump common sense advice on how he can become a more effective leader by becoming a human being instead of a jerk.
Trump doesn’t think he needs to be honorable. Sammon tells him different.

Trump or his cronies can erase the comments in Oh Don, Once Again, off of his website. But they can’t erase the difference between right and wrong. That’s what this book is all about.

Blood of the Unknowns, a sequel to Guns of the Abyss, is the second of two novels of political intrigue and warfare that follow a woman’s attempt to prevent the spreading cataclysm of events that ignite World War I. In Blood of the Unknowns, we visit the outcome of her vain political activism, and the misfortunes of her husband, a former assistant to the German Chancellor, now consigned to the machine of war as a low-ranking army private fighting at the behest of militarist aristocrats supportive of the imperialist government’s expansionary view of a European continent.
Under the moonlight, he and a fellow German soldier, a dark-skinned Gypsy recruit, share the same crowded stand in a muddy, hand-shoveled trench on the deadly Western Front. As oddly paired as two men of different backgrounds and experience might be, Privates Frieslaven and Maruska hunker in protective friendship, a vital, cooperative defense against enemy sniper fire, bombs and bayonets, and the failures of German leadership that result in the sacrifice of tens of thousands of men pushed beyond human capacity.
The human toll of death and gruesome injury soars on a daily basis as constant waves of courageous soldiers snip through braced lines of rolling barbwire, crawl across pock-marked fields, and watch in war-weary horror as compatriots ordered to charge are felled by machine gun fire so thick that retreat is inevitable for those few left standing. Unilateral surrender is not a choice, however bloodied the troops.
REVIEWS:
An absolutely staggering account of soldiers at war. Makes you seem to be there, gasping with fright, sick to the stomach at the horror of war in having to kill and killing advancing ground troops. A must read for any soldier.
Keith Reeve
Wow! Powerful! Well written, scary, sad.
Larry Bryan
Brings the horror of trench warfare to“ life”; no pun intended.

The romance between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre has been celebrated as one of the greatest of the 20th century. From the beginning, their relationship was a tumultuous one, in which the couple’s excesses were as widely known as their passion for each other. Despite their love, both Scott and Zelda engaged in flirtations that threatened to tear the couple apart. But none had a more profound impact on the two—and on Scott’s writing—as the liaison between Zelda and a French aviator, Edouard Jozan. Though other biographies have written of Jozan as one of Scott’s romantic rivals, accounts of the pilot’s effect on the couple have been superficial at best.
In The Gatsby Affair: Scott, Zelda, and the Betrayal That Shaped an American Classic, Kendall Taylor examines the dalliance between the southern belle and the French pilot from a fresh perspective. Drawing on conversations and correspondence with Jozan’s daughter, as well as materials from the Jozan family archives, Taylor sheds new light on this romantic triangle. More than just a casual fling, Zelda’s tryst with Edouard affected Scott as much as it did his wife—and ultimately influenced the author’s most famous creation, Jay Gatsby. Were it not for Zelda’s affair with the pilot, Scott’s novel might be less about betrayal and more about lost illusions.
Exploring the private motives of these public figures, Taylor offers new explanations for their behavior. In addition to the love triangle that included Jozan, Taylor also delves into an earlier event in Zelda’s life—a sexual assault she suffered as a teenager—one that affected her future relationships. Both a literary study and a probing look at an iconic couple’s psychological makeup, The Gatsby Affair offers readers a bold interpretation of how one of America’s greatest novels was influenced.

Subjected to the indecision of medical professionals who insist on perpetuating a practice they claim is safe, every woman should learn to question them. Doctors are human too and are far from perfect, but patients tend to say nothing, never challenge their practices, and therefore things will never change.

In A Flash calls them all into question and, with any luck, will force them to at least look into what appears to be the source of devastating loss for thousands of women everywhere. End the madness: Question their motives, stand up for your rights, and never allow them to disregard even the slightest concern.

Margaritas & Mexico! Murder???One Man’s Epic Journey across two Continents and four Countries with 50 years of Adventure. But,1986 changed everything forever. “It’s all good until it turns bad.” One event devastated the lives of 19 Students, 3 Chaperones and 1 Bus Driver. Was it the Tequila???
Thinking about sending your “Kids” to Paradise Unsupervised? THINK AGAIN!!!
EXCERPT from CHAPTER 1
I boarded the bus having a bit of difficulty due to the metal support brace that I had fixed to my right knee. I looked at my “amigos,” a word we had learned on this trip to Mexico, we each used it loosely – each person, place or thing that we encountered was our Amigo.
“Sorry for being the last person.”
It was 8:12 a.m., we were supposed to be gone and on the asphalt broken highway back to life as we knew it no later than 8:00 a.m. There was a silence of which I have never heard before nor have ever heard since. I trapped a bee with my thumb that had been swarming around my beer either attracted to the fruit inside my bottle or the rotten salsa that was smeared on the outside.
“Still nothing from Tina?” The words came slurred from my dry swollen, partly scabbed lips, which had enjoyed too much sun and salty margaritas.
My question was answered by the anguished looks of my fellow spring breakers. Tina had not surfaced. The last time any of us, including her two roommates had seen her was 36 hours earlier.
This is “My Bad Tequila.”
This spring getaway was supposed to be a fun experience and a pleasant memory. It ended up being more than a memory; it was an unpleasant walk through life.

The Autobiography of Jimmy Lee.
Jimmy Lee has led some sort of life!
He had a start in life few would have survived; he was taken into care at three years old and by the time he was eleven he had moved home ten times and attended nine different schools.
His early adolescence was hard by any standards. At fourteen, he ran away to join the Royal Navy and was sent, along with 2000 other boys, to the notorious HMS Ganges at Shotley, in Suffolk, a training establishment where a harsh regime held sway.
He had the misfortune to be placed under the care of two particularly brutal instructors, prone to drunkenness, whose continual bullying and abuse proved too much for his emerging free spirit.
Jim fought back and deserted on numerous occasions. Among his many punishments, he suffered ‘cuts’, a particularly brutal form of naval punishment. The next six years passed with regular naval detentions in the Royal Naval Detention Quarters, Portsmouth, involving exhausting routines and solitary confinements, which ended with a twelve month sentence in the infamous HM Military Prison Corradina, Malta, after which he was dismissed from the Service and returned to civilian life.
Then his troubles really began!
Winner of 20 book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author’s father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgium border on February 8,1944.
Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable.
Even before the dramatic battle in the air and the subsequent harrowing events on the ground, the story is informative, insightful, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event, the book covers the crew’s training, their journey to England, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany.
Through personal letters, oral and written accounts, declassified military documents, and interviews – all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) – the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of “being there”, are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book.
To add background and context, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals, featuring pilot Howard Snyder, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history.

Blackout Reveries
by Russ Pouliot
What’s reality and what’s a dream?
What if you found the cause of your addiction was the
other part of you?
What would you want?
What would you do and which of you would do it?
Gene Stewart is a champion underground fighter and alcoholic living in the most beautiful city in the world, Los Angeles. He is not sure if he is living the dream, or dreaming a nightmare he cannot wake up from. His existence is the glittering Los Angeles nightlife, its alcohol and women. From his secret daytime identity as a gardener and long time surfer, Gene roams from illegal fights in Mexico, to alley fights in Hollywood, boozing harder, ending up lonelier, emptier.
For Gene it is one more fight, one more wave, one more woman, and always one more drink. He pleases the women, pummels his opponents, and hates his single father, whom he drinks at because he was never good enough for him.
Gene has had an ongoing relationship with a fifty-ton Humpback Whale by the name of Rachel. He first began hearing her songs when he was young. She adopted him then and has looked after him, more or less since his real mother abandoned him at age four. Gene communicates with Rachel about life by ‘sonic telepathy’ as she calls it.
Lately Gene’s life consists of coming to from day, or week long drunken escapades, swearing that he will never drink again as he recalls in terror bits and pieces of atrocities he committed in his blackouts, horrified at what he can remember of his actions and what he must be capable of.
God watches over drunks and fools and Gene believes that he is both, but he does not seem to recognize The Angel at his elbow in the form of Mac Sajak, a long time family friend. Unknown to Gene until the end, Mac is really a ghost, roaming the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, giving angelic help by tender, careful ministering of The 12 Step Program to any derelict in any dumpster that wants it.
Not recognizing the sobering potential of Mac’s influence, Gene drinks and fights on when he is challenged to his ultimate fight by an underground organization that has had a scout, Dash Dickendasher, watching him for years. As Gene trains for the fight in the balmy, Southern California ambiance with asphalt between curbstones garnished with palms on gentle knolls overlooking the ocean, the city constantly buzzing with Hollywood glitz, he is sure his greatest battle is just ahead. It’s an underground fight of international and deadly proportions. He wonders if it’s his greatest fight, or just an excuse to check out?
Don, Gene’s father, dies weeks before the fight. Realizing how desperately he loved his father, Gene resolves to take out his anger on his opponent, Carl Collata. Gene destroys Carl in the ring and is knocked into a coma himself by an explosion in the fighting arena in the last seconds of the bout. In a coma for eleven days, Gene talks and argues with the spirit of his father and his physical and spiritual selves. Rachel the whale, in human form visits him while he is out; she heals him of his injuries with sonic waves.
Gene awakens from his coma to find Kathy, The Angel. She has been the Candy Stripper assigned to his hospital room. He is instantly in love and convinced she is an Angel of healing and mercy sent to rescue him. She helps him realize that his ultimate battle is yet to come; it is the mortal argument between his two selves, Styler Gene and Fighter Gene, which he finds he needs The Twelve Steps to resolve and survive, this time with the real, healthy love of a living doll and Mac, his ghostly sponsor.
All of this is hopefully a reality this time. Gene asks himself if Kathy is to good to be true? Reality, dream, or blackout? It has been a puzzle for him throughout his life.
Gene revels in falling in love with and dating Kathy in a new life of joy, yet he falls again, going into the ultimate drinking spree, committing assaults, rape and murder. What’s reality? What’s a dream? Can Gene wake from his nightmare, or has he already?
Forward.
The effects and results of alcoholism and addiction are foremost in the minds’ eye of the world’s collective consciousness. Addiction rages on with seeming infinite power, the world apparently powerless to stop it.
Why is it we lose some of our most popular, beloved and brilliant celebrities to addiction? After each tragic loss of a celebrity life, we mourn and agonize more, but only greater oaths to stop the carnage are given. The symptoms are treated with ever-greater fervor, the cause goes on untreated and unknown.
Not only celebrities, but those that are addicted in our own families live agonizing lives of insane spiraling down to horrid deaths by decay and dissipation. Who in the world has not been touched by addiction?
The world is increasing in its fascination with addiction and all its effects and fallouts. Demand, desire, and popularity for material on the subject grow at an exponential rate, because addiction is increasing at an exponential rate.
What limit is there in world demand for such material as self help books? Will the world ever get enough of the living nightmares personified by the tragic deaths of film, TV and music legends?
While other works have danced and circled around the bull’s-eye of alcoholism and addiction, Blackout Reveries boldly states the cause as man’s drive for love, applied in a mistaken, sick way.
Utilizing the old concept of the duality of man, the hero in this novel communicates with his spiritual and physical selves. With the help of a sponsor who is himself a ghost and recovered alcoholic angel roaming the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, looking to help any drunk who wants it; Gene Stewart, the hero of Blackout Reveries, is able to observe and educate his spiritual and physical selves that it is their self-preservation based arguments (known as resentments) that create a block to his being loved. Alcohol, which Gene has learned from timeless generations of his families’ culture to use to numb, or block the agony of his loveless, stark life; has now mistakenly come to be perceived by him as the love he’s wondered about, and sought after to the point of insanity and mortal desperation.

But in a little village called Bugbrook there is a collective of older women who still believe in a tale from their village that a young girl who was the third daughter of a third daughter of a third daughter is destined to marry a prince.
The girl must complete a collection of trials, without her knowing, to ensure she is suitable whilst also experiencing the everyday pressures of growing up. Dealing with school and of course, discovering boys and how they make her feel!
This is the story of how Eddi, (flat chested, clumsy and very naïve) together with her besy friend Chloe, (clever and a figure to die for) make it through the trials including Eddi’s hilarious disasters and mishaps!
Eddi is the chosen one!

Bestseller on Amazon Books: CIVIC ATTITUDE CIVIL SOCIETY LEGALLY STOPPING DICTATORSHIPS: https://wp.me/p29vEX-1sd
Why Civic Engagement, Civil Society, and Philanthropy in the U.S., Romanian & Mexico Count: https://www.bookventure.com/bookstore/title/463/civic-engagement-civil-society-and-philanthropy-in-the-us-romanian-mexico.html
Every hundred years we will need a fresher angle on civic attitudes and engagement in civic action.
Civic Engagement Civil Society, and Philanthropy in the USA, Romania, And Mexico, is about anti-globalization movements: the bright and dark sides of globalization, interoperability of Blockchain and Clean Elections in the United States of America, Romania, and Mexico.
People with commonalities demanding Clean Elections; no money packs, like in the U.S., are networking across nations to change the corrupt systems currently in operation.
The Introduction to this book is about the role of civic attitudes, society in Romania, and the United States, especially on how to fight legally against and thwart dictatorships via robust civic engagement, and the counterweight of civil society.
The strongest civic attitudes are prevalent in the United States, where movements like United State of Women, Women’s March of CA, California NOW,
#CAclean.org, #metoo and #Occupy which had started in 2015.
Our Foundation people think that public officials should be accountable
to voters instead of to big money contributors? So, do we.
The solution is Fair Elections funding of campaigns for qualified candidates who agree to strict spending limits. We will end pay-to-play politics.
The Anti-Trump movement has grown strong, with 1 million women showing up at the Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. protesting the upcoming ban on Roe Vs Wade.
The Romanian test case is explained next – by exposing the new nomenclature which is imposing the nationalistic model by opposing civic engagement, shunning and arresting civic activists.
This theme is taken up by the author in the Biography, where agency and civic society are counteracting effectively the statist nationalism of PSD, a socialist popular party masquerading as a democratic party.
This Book is about how to build a strong civic polity. In three major countries. How to beat statism and legally arrest dictators; how to keep foundations transparent and how to make a profit for the foundations, to earn interest and further the main objectives set by NGOs and Foundations. Civic entities can and should make money to protect against Koch brothers’ types around the world. How Mexican civic actors fight Presidential corruption. How Dragnea of Romania and his PSD party face loads of corruption charges together with the criminal Securitate officers embedded in the higher echelons of the society.
This does contingence also investigation of government corruption by non-profit foundations.
Chapter six takes up Mexico as a case study, since 1985.
Pena Nieto, Mexican outgoing President in 2018,
has opposed investigations of his government’s corruption by independent Non-Profit organizations.
The need for transparency of expenditures is absolutely paramount in this type of operations by NPPOs (not-For -Private -Profit) organizations and Foundations.
The TEO legislation is laid out and the blueprint between U.S.-Mexico is working, and herein explained for other countries to follow.
The Romanian Minister of Finances, in 2015, has not approved this blueprint, because they are only interested in extracting money from the taxpayers, and in weakening civic polity.
The communist mentality is still there entrenched in the minds of the technocrats, and bureaucrats; they are not interested in fostering civic engagement or civil society, to the contrary, Securitate officers are still running the show, together with incompetent and corrupt Congressman and parliamentarian PSD dominated (one party system, the communists regrouped in), AKA the Social Democrats Party, Securitate (ex-security, compromised officers.)
Mexico has finally embarked on a new path for change, as the new elected admin is eradicating the corrupt government employees, cutting down their salaries, perks and focusing on eliminating the drug kingpins from power and Police.
A new dawn seems to be emerging for Mexico with the election of a third party. It is the new presidential and Congressional power.
Is it going to be a government-funded elimination of corrupt Congressmen, and Cleansing of the Congress plus Senate, led by famous opposition leader Porfirio Munoz Ledo & AMLO; or will it be just a resuscitation of the old PRI style government that has long been destroying the country and keeping the majority of Mexicans in poverty? Will he win the battle against corruption?
What is going to happen? Will the crooked military in the street be replaced by the honest police?
And how can the police break their centuries-old habit of corruption? How can the drug-dealer’s cartels be broken? It will take much time to know. As it is now, civil society’s role is to deflect attacks on Scions financing civil society; can these attacks at a presidential level, on NPPOS be restored to prominence? These are the questions.
Russia, as an authoritarian country is also comparatively analyzed, in comparison to Romania
Dr Olga’s Biography is the epitome of Civic Engagement, is the corollary of this enticing book.
The Conclusion is focusing on various levels of corruption in all 3 countries, and the prospects for a healthy civic polity, as the civic polity signs up to the new standards for transparency, inclusion, and equanimity.

The Conclusion is focusing on various levels of corruption in all 3 countries, and the prospects for a healthy civic polity, as the civic polity signs up to the new standards for transparency, inclusion, and equanimity of the human spirit.

Author and reviewer Michael Brookes said of Death of heaven:
“The book starts well and has a ‘Books of Blood’ vibe which really works well. It’s in these tales that the author’s writing ability shines. He demonstrates a lovely turn of phrase and some of the writing is almost poetic in its beauty.”
A horrific childhood event. Two broken boys struggle to grow up. One to achieves great and covert things for our country, things that nearly destroy him. The other continues his struggle through adulthood. Finally they come back together to help one another, one more than the other.
And then things take a staggering turn into the dark and unbelievable.. Into a massive and macabre reality that questions literally everyone’s reality. A reality that will soon enshroud the entire world.
British book Reviewer Lynn Worton said:
“JZ Murdock has written a horror story that had me completely transfixed! I’m intrigued as to what he is working on next! Although horror is not one my favorite genres, I recommend this book to those who do love it.”
WILDSound Writing Festival First Chapter review said:
“The story itself is very strong, lulling the reader into a false sense of security as two young boys hunt for treasure, before ultimately morphing into a violent and sometimes disturbing tale of horror. This is done with such swiftness that it takes the reader completely by surprise, which only enhances the effect.”
Enjoy reading, Death of heaven. But perhaps, just perhaps, leave the light on when you go to bed….

Iron Blood & Sacrifice is set in 55 & 54 BC, in Late Pre-Roman, Iron Age Britain, prior-to and including Julius Caesar’s exploratory forays in those years. History as we know is written by the victor and Julius Caesar’s history is a well-known Roman one. I hope these historically inspired novels will perhaps give the reader a taste of what may have been, the ‘Brythonic’ perspective of the same tumultuous period in their history.

First-prize fitness competitor and personal trainer Valeria Teles invites you to reflect on the idea that JOY is an ever-present choice.
From a young age, Valeria yearned for a life that would bring her joy. She hoped to find it in relationships and a successful career, but neither brought a genuine smile to her face. She then discovered fitness, which became her escape – keeping her even further from the truth, until she could no longer live without joy.
During a meditative period away from the fitness world, Valeria learned that exercise and enjoyment belong together, and that forgiveness is essential for personal healing.
Now a student of Buddha’s teachings, she shares her vision for conventional fitness that is integrated with emotional and spiritual well-being.
Fit for Joy will inspire you to establish a harmonious mind-body connection that is based on self-knowledge and self-love. Insightful and tender, this book will show you how freedom, joy, and peace come from courage, and that courage can be found by being true to yourself.

The sequel to The Mystical Persian Legacy. A spiritual book compiled by Heydar Fouladi in Farsi, that I translated into English, and Parinaz Rasoulifar edited, about Religion & Mysticism showing how Love is the Divine Bridge for our Ascension.
The familiarity with our country’s history is a good preface necessary for understanding people’s tastes and the contextual understanding of current developments in the future. The enthusiastic translator of this book talked about Iran’s Golden Era when we were the most authoritative. This book is practical for both teenagers and adolescents, who want to know more about their homeland’s history, as well as older people, who until now have not known about our country’s ancient history. With hopes that those reading this book enjoy gaining more understanding of Iran’s History.
