<\/a><\/p>\nRay Schultz \u2013 The Match-A Novel<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Poetic Portions – Compiled by Mary Godsey\/Norma Gardner<\/strong><\/p>\n The name of our book, Poetic Portions<\/strong>, was inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s statement that, “The only gift is a portion of yourself. Therefore, the poet brings his poem…,” This collection of work has no theme, but represents our efforts to include a variety of voices and visions that poets present in their work. Being able to include a number of poems by most authors allows us to reveal something of the range of styles, ideas, emotions and humor expressed by individual poets. We appreciate the talents of writers and their courage in expressing themselves and sharing their work. We respect these offering of poetic portions of themselves with gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n My Brush With Death (2015)<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0edited by Robin L. Waldron, Norma Gardner, Joan Watt\u00a0 (nonfiction)<\/p>\n When we first sent out our request for stories from people who had a Brush with Death we wondered if we would receive any replies. We wondered how many people would be willing to share the most intimate details of their experience. Surprisingly, our mailbox was busy each day until the deadline. It was difficult to choose the final twenty-six stories. \u00a0\u00a0When you read these stories you can see how our hearts were touched and life changed for all of us.\u00a0\u00a0 We saw courage and strength in these stories as these individuals became different and better people because of a Brush with death\u2212even \u00a0in some cases where the battle is not yet over.<\/p>\n Publisher: Raindrop Press<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Poetry Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n A Harvest of Poems includes work by: Robert O.

\nFamily Recipes Thanks to all of the cooks, both male and female, who helped to make this book possible by submitting some of their favorite recipes. We included recipes by our mother, Marie McKinney Doll and other family members and friends: We all wish our \u00a0husbands would do some of the cooking in our kitchens, but unfortunately only a few men enjoy standing over a hot stove. We envy Windy Watt for the help she receives in her kitchen with the tasty recipes Jim works into their meals. We all need to try some of his yummy recipes. A final thought; what would life be without family recipes and kitchen tables to gather around with family and friends to share in love, laughter, good conversation and delicious food.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
