World War II finds 15-year-old Betsy Blakesly immersed in the war effort on the home front—the man shortage, scrap drives, bond sales, rationing stamps, radio broadcasts, air raid warnings, blackouts, and running a bicycle delivery service. During the summer of 1943, news comes that a prisoner-of-war camp will be built near the farming town of Plainsview, Colorado where Betsy lives with her family. Suddenly the enemy has landed in her own back yard.

Dickens’ friends range in age from forty to over one hundred. They live in care facilities, suffering from physical and mental disabilities that make it impossible for them to live alone or without constant medical attention. All too often, they are dismissed as nothing more than people who have lived too long.  WRONG. They are people, unique individuals with past lives and present memories that they enjoy sharing, if someone will listen. Sometimes it takes a dog who loves people to let them know they will be heard. Dickens is that dog. These are some of their stories.

And now the rotter's infamous files are missing - files that contain dirt on most of the power people on campus, including Polly Ann.She is far down local law enforcement's list, not only because the police chief is a close friend and neighbor.

“She was overcome with the sense that she’d known him in another time, that somehow she was drawing this dark man toward her.” Seventeen-year-old Janet fell in love when she heard Eduardo speak about Africa at church camp in 1951 and this love defined the rest of her life. The agony of racial discrimination, alienation from family, the pain of separation, the fear of betrayal and even death—none of these could derail a love that “just is—like the love of a child, a lover, a grandmother—the beginning and the end.” With Eduardo she went halfway around the world to fight for the independence of Mozambique from 500 years of domination by Portugal. White Shadow tells the story of her unsung role in a brutal ten-year war effort with all its victories and defeats, moments of despair and joy.

What happens when you die, but the universe isn’t done with you? You might end up as the pet of a giant worm-a-pede alien and…if you survive your evolved descendants and rogue aliens of 1 million A.D…discover you have more in common with intelligent worms than you ever thought possible. Yes, all this might happen if you are Rudy Albert Goldstein—the discoverer of the Biomic Network Algorithm—who thought his time had come. He had done his part to make the world a better place. Now he deserved—even looked forward to—a peaceful and mercifully succinct death. But the universe had other plans…

Raham, Mr. R. Gary

Libby James didn't enter a running race until 1976, the summer of her 40th birthday. Forty-two years later she's still at it. During that time she's had a wealth of running experiences from marathons to 5ks, down the street from where she lives in Fort Collins, Colorado to touring downtown Tokyo in the 2012 marathon there. She's run up Pikes Peak a couple of times, and in the Bolder Boulder 10k so many times she's lost count.She had a big month in October 2016, the year she turned 80, setting a 5k world record in Syracuse, New York and the 15k American record in Tulsa, Oklahoma later the same month. In 2017 she set an American age-group record in the Fortitude 10k in her hometown and in 2018 she beat the American record by more than nine minutes in the Shamrock 8k in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She is a member of the USATF Masters Running Hall of Fame and the Colorado Running Hall of Fame.Still Running is her way of sharing her love of running-the people she's met, the places she's been, the role running has played in her life-in hopes of explaining the magic of her favorite sport for runners, would-be runners and anyone curious about the fascination to be found in putting one foot in front of the other over and over again.
