A Story of Kidnap, Enslavement, and Colonialism is a story written in verse about a midwife stolen from Ireland in 1650 during Oliver Cromwell’s period of dominance. The Irish word, misneach, means courage and hope during uncertain times. First sent to work the sugar plantations in the West Indies of Barbados and Montserrat, Aoife is sold again into servitude on a Puritan minister’s farm in Farmington, Connecticut. Along her way, she meets and befriends an African slave and an indigenous mother who needs her midwifery help. Aoife encounters situations and experiences known to history in a tale full of imagery and tension, and though fictional, the stories of the Irish sentenced into indentured servitude, the early slaves captured from Africa, and the native peoples and lands of New England are painted and made real. This is a tale to compare with our modern day and times.

Mattapoisett was a quiet New England town on Buzzards Bay — until body parts started showing up in the most unlikely places. Manny Pereira, a decorated and disabled Vietnam War Veteran, races to find the killer in an investigation that spans from Nazi Germany to the Azores and Newfoundland, and finally to the neighborhoods of this once peaceful harbor town. With more than a few possible suspects, Manny works quietly behind the scenes and uncovers a decades old scheme of greed, revenge, and murder. The allure of art and love compound the challenges for Manny, and as he closes in on the killer, not even he could have anticipated the frightening twist in his investigation or its shocking conclusion.

The Local Nonprofit Marketing & Fundraising Guide: How Small and Community Nonprofits Attract Donors, Recruit Volunteers, and Build Trust is a practical playbook for grassroots and community nonprofits that struggle with limited budgets, small staffs, and low visibility. Drawing from real-world nonprofit experience, the book explains how organizations can use simple, strategic marketing, storytelling, partnerships, and community engagement to grow support. It shows leaders how to attract donors, recruit and retain volunteers, build credibility, and create meaningful relationships with their communities. Rather than relying on expensive campaigns, the guide focuses on creative, low-cost strategies that any nonprofit can implement - from local media outreach and sponsorships to events and volunteer-driven promotion. The core message is that successful nonprofits don’t just ask for donations - they communicate their impact, build trust, and invite the community to become part of their mission.
