Book Description
A picnic sounded great, but his wife and stepchildren disagreed. So he went on his own, and soon he was joined by unwelcome creatures. Did you have a 'slow' friend? Would you exploit his weaknesses? I hope not; accidents can happen. Some people should grow up, as this short story points out. A man has a plan to take over a Thai restaurant, but that was never going to happen. He picked on the wrong people. A little girl goes missing, and her stepdad is not overly concerned; perhaps he should have been. A one-eyed teddy and dead puppies look after her.

Author: Edgar Allen Moore
Publisher: Abbott Press
ISBN: 145820457X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
On August 16, 1938 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, a tiny boy opened his mouth and cried for the first time. As Germany persecuted Jews and Orson Wells prepared for his infamous War of the Worlds radio program, Edgar Allen Moore began his life as the second of three boys in a Scottish-Irish family who nurtured an insatiable curiosity and a zest for adventure. In his entertaining memoir, Moore chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood as he experienced variability, excitement, and satisfaction while working in five different professions. As Moore shares how he was influenced not only by the death of his mother at a young age, but also by a post-war cultural environment, he details how he managed to become successful despite living with the effects of attention deficit disorder, an then-unknown affliction that would not be diagnosed until later in life. As he narrates his adventures from college to military assignments to eventual employment, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into what it is like to look at each sunrise as a new opportunity. WOW, What a Day! shares one baby boomers narrative of what it was like to grow up amid the chaos of World War II and the subsequent years as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and embraces enriching life experiences.

What a Difference a Day Makes
Author: Steve Bergsman
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496848969
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
In What a Difference a Day Makes: Women Who Conquered 1950s Music, Steve Bergsman highlights the Black female artists of the 1950s, a time that predated the chart-topping girl groups of the early 1960s. Many of the singers of this era became wildly famous and respected, and even made it into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. However, there were many others, such as Margie Day, Helen Humes, Nellie Lutcher, Jewel King, and Savannah Churchill, who made one or two great records in the 1950s and then disappeared from the scene. The era featured former jazz and blues singers, who first came to prominence in the 1940s, and others who pioneered early forms of rock ’n’ roll. In a companion volume, Bergsman has written the history of white women singers of the same era. Although song styles were parallel, the careers of Black and white female singers of the period ran in very different directions as the decade progressed. The songs of African American vocalists like Dinah Washington and Etta James were segregated to the R&B charts or covered by pop singers in the early and mid-1950s but burst into prominence in the last part of the decade and well into the 1960s. White singers, on the other hand, excelled in the early 1950s but saw their careers decline with the advent of rock music. In this volume, Bergsman takes an encyclopedic look at both the renowned and the sadly faded stars of the 1950s, placing them and their music back in the spotlight.
