A picturesque, little town located along the banks of the rolling Patapsco River, Sykesville, Maryland has had a long and distinctive history. Though not officially incorporated until 1904, Sykesville was first put on the map when, in 1831, the mighty Baltimore and Ohio Railroad sent its "Old Main Line" from the thriving metropolis of Baltimore to Point of Rocks in Frederick County, Maryland and traveled through the small town of Sykesville on its route. After that, tourism became an important industry in the town, as well-to-do Baltimoreans searched for a country refuge during the hot summer months. Sykesville, located in Carroll County and just 30 miles from Baltimore city, was the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed and shady holiday.
As Sykesville grew and changed over the years, many individuals, including Suzannah Warfield, Frank Brown, Wade Warfield, J.H. Fowble, E. Francis Baldwin, and Edwin Mellor, played important roles in the town's commercial development. But it is Sykesville's unique heritage, the great value placed on preserving that past by residents, and the resilient character of the community that has made Sykesville what it is today. Following a decline in the 1970s, the town experienced a rebirth fostered by the tenacious spirit of local officials and residents who strongly believed that the town could regain its past glory. Now, as one strolls along Sykesville's downtown streets, the past seems once again alive and the community's singular story is at the heart of it all.

McCALLANDIA is a novel of alternate history that imagines how the world would have been different if Oregon's iconic governor, Tom McCall, had become president of the United States following Richard Nixon's resignation. For anyone who remembers the beacon of good government, common sense and environmental responsibility Oregon was in the late 1960s and 1970s, this is a look back that will stir yearning both for what was, and what could have been. Bill Hall does an exceptional job of capturing the tenor of the times that pushed Tom McCall and the Oregon Story into national prominence, and then projecting what could have happened had a few key events and decisions gone differently. Particularly well-crafted is the dialogue coming from McCall. Oregonians of the time who remember his distinct voice and deft way with words will have no difficulty imagining the governor making the comments attributed to him. Hall didn't merely research this book. In many ways, he lived it. His knowledge of Oregon politics, history and personalities is so extensive, so absolutely believable, it's almost as if he were in the same room with his characters as events unfold. His renderings - in particular, of McCall's mother Dorothy -- make us long to be part of that insider's circle in the era former Secretary of State Phil Keisling describes as, "Oregon's Camelot." And this isn't only politics. There are appearances by Ken Kesey, John Lennon and Steve Prefontaine. Hall even takes a stab at a piece on McCall as he imagines Hunter S. Thompson might have penned it for Rolling Stone magazine. For anyone who loves Oregon and history (real or imagined).

The Educational Publisher/Biblio Publishing

The word "Firefighter" evokes many images in the minds of people everywhere. They are perceived as low-life's who sit around the fire house playing cards and pool, and shooting the breeze to saving kittens from being stuck in a tree and collecting undeserved paychecks.

As a Baltimore City Firefighter for thirty years, now retired, Hall will take readers on a journey from the front seat of a fire engine to the side streets of Baltimore city. Readers will be transported on calls for people trapped in motor vehicles to assisting paramedics rescue a man pinned by a train. They will witness the rage and violence in the streets of Baltimore and the professionals who attend to those victims every day.
