Book Description
Charlie Mullins, a divorced executive at a large company, falls in love with a woman who he initially doesn't know could destroy his entire career. Charlie is convinced that she is his true soul mate and will not give her up even though it would mean the loss of his job and career if it became public knowledge. The company he works for has military defense contracts and he would not be given a security clearance once his relationship to Gina was known. He will have to choose between the woman and his career. While he faces this choice, a couple of busybody housewives from the small town in which he was raised and still lives have taken to stalking him because of his secret relationship and their interest in marrying him off to a local woman. They feel threatened by his behavior, and their response threatens his ability to keep the relationship secret while he devises a plan to marry the woman of his dreams. If the relationship becomes known before Charlie is ready and has worked out his plan, all will be lost. About the Author This is Jim Wygand's third book and his first novel. Jim is a business consultant who has worked in and with large corporations during his long and varied career. In his first novel, Jim has pitted parochial small town gossips against the desire for privacy of a native son and the inner workings and politics of a large multinational corporation. The admixture could prove disastrous to Charlie Mullins and his professional and personal plans.

Book Description
From his early shorts in the 1910s through his final film in 1967, Charlie Chaplin's genius embraced many arts: mime, dance, acting, music, writing, and directing. The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin: Artistry in Motion examines Chaplin's fusion of these arts in his films, providing new understanding of how movement communicates, how comedy routines are structured, and how stage skills can be translated to the screen. An acclaimed comic performing artist himself, Dan Kamin brings a unique insider's perspective to the subject. He explores how Chaplin's physical virtuosity led him to create the timeless visual comedy that brought silent films to their peak. Kamin uncovers the underlying principles behind the filmmaker's gags, illuminating how Chaplin conjured comedy from the fundamental physical laws of movement. He then presents provocative new interpretations of the comedian's sound films, showing how Chaplin remained faithful to his silent comedy roots even as he kept reinventing his art for changing times. Kamin also offers new insights into how Chaplin achieved rapport with audiences and demonstrates how comedy created nearly a century ago is still fresh today. Lavishly illustrated with many never-before-published images, The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin provides the only in-depth analysis of Chaplin as a movement artist and physical comedian. Revealing the inner working of Chaplin's mesmerizing art, this book will appeal not just to Chaplin fans but to anyone who loves comedy. This paperback edition features an annotated bibliography and a foreword by Scott Eyman, author of Empire of Dreams: The Epic Life of Cecil B. DeMille and Print the Legend: The Life and Times of John Ford.

Book Description
The Unconditional Love of Old Charlie What a beautiful and arresting story. In its utter simplicity, it declares and lays bare the unconditional love of the Father. Your words are so wonderfully simple. The one who believes that the truth of life in Christ is a mess of complicated rules and self-dedication will feel they are free-falling into life in the simplicity of these pages and the truth they contain. Thank you for writing it and quoting me. May it reach the multitudes. Blessing is on you and this little book. --Malcolm Smith Unconditional Love International malcolmsmith.org About everyone can relate to having an Old Charlie in their life. It could be a grandmother or a grandfather. Charlie was my first contact with unconditional love, and it took place in Ohio's Appalachian hills. I love the second spring, the beautiful colors of autumn, and the leaves taking on the beauty of flowers as the wind caresses my face, whispering, spring will be here before you know it. The heart of spring reminds me of the beautiful heart of a senior citizen we called Old Charlie. He unconditionally loved five naughty children who lived and worked on a tobacco farm along an old gravel road. He traveled in an old two-wheel lopsided cart, pulled by a grayish-white horse named Rocky. After enjoying this true story, you will agree most people can relate to having an Old Charlie in their life. Remembering the loving heart of this wise gentleman became my motivating force in writing this book. I am presenting this incredible truth and revealing two life-giving treasures that guarantee a more enjoyable now and an encouraging outlook for tomorrow. Every parent or grandparent should make this a gift to your children and grandchildren; we all need to know we are unconditionally loved. --Tommy Hawk Convention Speaker, Author, Pastor, Bible Teacher Tommyhawkministries.com 30
