Heartwarming and sad, life is filled with laughter and tears. But for the children everywhere, the painful transition to adulthood is a universal constant. The son of immigrants living in Hamtramck, Michigan during the Great Depression, Wallace Caminsky grew up knowing hardship and sorrow, as well as joy and love. Part of the "Greatest Generation" during World War II, he saw life and death first-hand. And returning home to start his own family, he experienced the challenges and frustrations of supporting a family in the new and untamed wilderness of Suburbia---where crabgrass and children can both grow, wild and untamed. In All Fathers Are Giants, Wallace Caminsky draws upon the rich, cultural heritage of the immigrants from Eastern Europe in the early 20th Century. His collection of short stories and poems brings to life a bygone age now largely lost to suburban sprawl and computer games.

Playful as well as profound-and as bawdy as he was witty-William Shakespeare is hardly the stuffy, obscure writer who inhabits so many modern classes in English Literature. And yet students often leave the classroom without ever discovering the man behind the marble legend. In this timely and enlightening collection of Shakespeare's sonnets, author and poet Jeffrey Caminsky puts some of the fun back in the Bard's most private and personal set of poems. At once sensitive and tender, yet often skewering mistresses and patrons alike, the poems sing with passion and wit. With explanatory notes to help the modern reader sort through the Elizabethan vocabulary, this collection makes Shakespeare's poems-and, more importantly, his humanity and sense of fun-come back to life. After so many dusty years on the shelf...it's really about time.

New starships are nothing but trouble. It's something Roscoe Cook heard his old commander say, often quite loudly. But he never believed it until he got a starship of his own, and faced the task of getting the ship and its temperamental crew ready to sail. In The Sirens of Space, the first volume of the Guardians of Peace adventure series, Captain Cook and his crew prepare for a journey that will span the galaxy as they introduce 21st Century readers to life in the 26th Century.

In the Star Dancers, the second book in the Guardians of Peace science fiction adventure series, we see what happens when civilizations and species clash. The reader learns about the alien culture of the reptilian race known as the Crutchtans, which is suffering from internal divisions. We also meet Gal’Shenga, an alien leader anxious to achieve his dream of reforming and modernizing his society, and his nephew Ga’Glish, commander of the alien fleet. But Terra has problems of its own, and the Terran Cosmic Guard has its hands full: pirates and privateers are still infesting their skies, as they have for hundreds of years...a vestige of their history that has led Terra to develop ever-better machines of destruction to protect their lanes of commerce. Meanwhile, a band of ne'er-do-wells, eager to recover riches away deep inside alien skies, confronts an alien scientific outpost just as a peace conference is concluding on an alien world...setting the stage for conflict and tragedy, unless both sides are able to control the hotheads on either side of the border. As Captain Cook struggles to find his way back to Terra through uncharted skies, he finds that the the galaxy is descending into chaos.

The clash of civilizations has never been pretty, especially for the losers. Struggles between cultures are inevitable, and have always been with us. The less we know about an alien culture, the harder it is to avoid misunderstandings, and the easier it is for things to get out of hand. Unfortunately, the 26th Century is no different...except that the conflicts are even uglier when the combatants belong to different species. And when the future of each race hangs in the balance, civilization itself can be among the first casualties. In Clouds of Darkness, the third book in the Guardians of Peace science fiction adventure series, the war between the Terrans and their reptilian neighbors proves as brutal as any conflict the human race has seen. And Commodore Roscoe Cook, the pride of Planet Isis, has his hands full with enemies of all kinds — human and reptilian alike.
