Salome: An Invitation to the Dance begins when the Bogweasel family
spends a week by the lake, but the weather is not good. To
entertain his brood, Mr. Bogweasel, a history teacher, suggests
they do some research. Since he doesn't agree with the historical
inaccuracies of a Hollywood movie called "Salome," he makes the
biblical dancer the family's research subject. The Bogweasels
discover quite a lot about their subject, even though their efforts
are interrupted by romance and adventures on the lake. During the
barbecue that marks the end of their holiday, they announce their
findings to friends, neighbors, and extended family. They are
surprised to find out that even though 2000 years have passed since
the time of Salome, feelings still run strong. About the Author:
Raised in Holland, Marcus Johnson now resides in New Zealand.
Fascinated by the early Roman empire, the death of John the
Baptist, and disappointed in the erotic way Salome has been
portrayed in history, the author researched these topics to write
this book. His next novel is set in ancient Egypt. Publisher's

While reading this book, you will come across the word individual
an awful lot. The clear objective of this book is to inspire people
to look at themselves as individuals as it pertains to making the
world a stronger, and prosperous place for future generations. I
emphasize the importance of individual responsibility, hard work,
self-determination, and personal integrity. In this book, I
thoroughly advocate the significance in young adults to receive a
world-class education. I emphasize the need for individuals to
exemplify the Judeo-Christian principles upon which the United
States was founded; free enterprise, individual liberty, and
personal responsibility. As we continue to wake up every morning in
a broken society, we should not continue to ignore the perils of
it. In this book, you will learn the tools in making our society
better, you will learn of the importance in receiving an education,
and you will obtain a set of core values and principles in which to
live by. Also, I would like for you to take what you have learned
from this book and pass it onto the others, pressing the
significance in advancing a prosperous world.
Harnakhte is the son of the governor of a small town in the very
south of Egypt, and Apet-hesit is one of pharaoh's numerous
granddaughters. They meet as children and swear an oath to love
each other forever. Six years pass and Harnakhte leaves his
parent's home to look for his bride in Pi-Ramses. During the time
of separation, Apet-hesit's mother was killed by a holy crocodile.
Apet-hesit avenges her mother's death and kills the creature. The
priests want to execute the killer of the holy crocodile, but don't
know who is to blame. Apet-hesit's father fancies his chances to
succeed as pharaoh, but he needs money to finance his plan, and
sells Apet-hesit as a slave. Then he has her abducted and taken to
Sharakh, a secret city in the desert where he hides her from her
owner. Harnakhte arrives in Pi-Ramses to find Apet-hesit gone. He
manages to find the city of Sharakh, but is imprisoned. The people
of Sharakh train one of their girls to act as Apet-hesit and show
her to Harnakhte to distract him from the real Apet-hesit. The
lovesick man is taken in. Court politics intervene and the two
lovers are kept apart. Will Harnakhte ever recognize his true love?
Find out in the historical novel Apet-hesit: Scarred for Life.

What does it mean to live well? What are the consequences of
believing that the world is a bad place? What is virtue? How can we
embrace life and living? These are the sorts of questions addressed
in Alapaha Paganism. No final, universal, or ultimate answers are
prescribed. Instead, a unique perspective, growing in Alapaha, is
shared. It suggests this life is good, this world is good, and
neither are in need of salvation or redemption.
Have you ever wondered how the wheel was invented or who created
the first video game? Do you understand how the internet works and
why vaccines save lives? Are you aware that fossil fuels not only
power cars and planes, but are also used to generate the
electricity that powers almost everything else? Do you know about
alternative energy sources and how they work? Would you like to
know more about robotic surgery, vertical farming or gene therapy?
Then this is the book for you!

As Heaven's Light begins their liberations Brian takes his place as
the captain of the Freedom. At the same time, the Maidens each
struggle with their newfound power and abilities. In the distance,
the ruler of the Malcovin people, King Zaris, plots the destruction
of the upstart organization using the four navies of his world.
Brian and his allies move forward knowing it will end with a war
with powerful Malcovin military. Will Zaris's forces end the dream
of Heaven's Light? Or will the bell of liberty ring once more?
Six months have passed since the Kalaidian people were freed.
Although prosperity was brought to one world another teeters on the
edge of war. The merchant capital of the galaxy, Dega Jul, now sits
dangerously as two factions battle for control. Meanwhile, Brian
suffers the scars of Delne while fighting for the Avoni. What lies
ahead for him as he battles against Shiken Ka of the Shandi and
Dreka the Lightning, the greatest living Malcovin pilot?
Five years have passed since Brian was first abducted. The Avoni
and a number of other ships have been sent to the edge of
Confederation territory to investigate whether the Greys are
encroaching upon their border. During a battle a freak accident
leaves the Avoni stranded deep within Grey territory. Will Brian be
able to take command and lead the lone ship through the dark sea of
space?
Several months have passed since the liberation of the Malcovin
people. After coming under attack by a force of elite Ick-Tckt
mobile armors, Heaven's Light is forced onto the defensive. Brian
and his allies are then called to help the Viken people take back
their world. At the same time, the queen of the Ick-Tckt is finding
her fellow nobles unresponsive to her pleas for peace. Will Brian
and the Freedom emerge with a solution that everyone can live with?
Or will they fall to the machinations of their foes? And what
awaits those who survive the dawn of the new age? All will be
answered with the conclusion of The Freedom Saga.
An insomnia driven walk changes the destiny of Brian. Taken by the
Greys for what seemed to be a routine abduction instead catapults a
lone human into space and uncertainty. Befriended by some and
feared by many, he must endure a solitary journey amongst alien
races and cultures while struggling to survive. But beyond this the
gears of fate are turning. Thousands of years ago a plan was
concieved by the one the aliens refer to simply as the Teacher. Was
Brian's appearance chance, or fate?
Small irritations can grow over time. Like waking up day after day
to the alarm's siren cry. It all began one day with an angry man
named Dave. Will the world remain as it is? Or will the era of the
devilish alarm clock come to an end?
