It’s that time of the year again where we get to go and participate in the Miami Book Fair, particularly during the Street Fair weekend happening this November 22-24 in Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus. The book fair, considered America’s finest literary festival, is a great opportunity for national and international authors to showcase and promote their works to hundreds of thousands of attendees and book enthusiasts. It’s also a chance for authors, exhibitors, booksellers, and other professionals from the publishing world to share and exchange ideas and discover current trends in the industry. In this issue, we got to talk with Dr. Frank Douglas, author of the engrossing memoir Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream. Douglas shares how he became a successful researcher, scientist, and published author despite the challenges and adversities. In “Kids Need to Know About Mom’s Breast Cancer Diagnosis,” author Diane Davies explains how one can have a truthful and honest conversation with children when someone in the family has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Shirley Andrews makes her case that extraterrestrial beings helped mankind with their prehistoric achievements in “Gods from the Sky to Earth in Prehistory.” We also offer a glimpse of Kay Whidbee Sherwood’s new book, News From the Holy Land III: The Messiah’s Kingdom. We continue to receive contributions from various talents and genius creators, and in this issue, we feature the works of Gloria Winkles, Ivor Kovac, Mounina Bouna Aly, Thomas Reischel, Dr. Frank L. Douglas, and Ted Torgersen. Finally, get to know more about the wonderful city of Miami and its attractions in our lifestyle feature “My Oh My Miami.” We all love stories that resonate with our own, especially those that bring us to greater heights in mood and in thought. We hope you’ll enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed piecing it together.

“Nathan?” she asked. “I see you
overcame the guards.”
She wasted no time on either an
emotional outburst or an expression
of incredulity, which served to remind
Nathan of just how alien she truly was.
“Yes,” Nathan replied as he handed
her a pistol.
“But you have not taken the ship,”
she replied.
“We have to take the ship, and I don’t
know how many guards are left.”
“I will assist you.”
“It’s better if you stay out of danger.”
“That is not logical. Until we take the
ship there is no safety.”
“You could stay here and pretend that
you are a captive.”
“That will only work until our captors
determine that you are working to
undermine them. At that point they
will use me as a hostage. The safest
place for me is wherever you are.”
“Alright, we’ll do this together then.
Stay sharp, I may need you to cover
me at some time.”
“I will do what necessity requires. You
need only tell me what you want.”
“Tough girl… Let’s get going.”
They made their way cautiously
down the hallway toward the front
of the ship, which was where they
believed the main control room was.
When they rounded a corner they
came across a man with no mask.
He was the same man that had
interrogated Nathan.
“Hey!” he said. “You there! Where
are you taking that prisoner, soldier?”
Nathan turned on the man and
pushed him up against a wall. The
man pushed back but it was futile.
Nathan shoved him all the harder
and caused him to gasp.
“What is the meaning of this?” the
interrogator demanded.
“Keep quiet!” Nathan said.
“How dare you! I’ll have you brought
up on charges for this! You will be—“
Nathan suddenly took of his mask,
and the man immediately fell silent.
“We’ll go back to your office,”
Nathan said.
Nathan released the man and quickly
put his mask back on, while Kor Neev
kept her pistol trained on him in case
he decided to run. But he did not run,
which probably meant that he was
more afraid of death than of failing
in his mission. He would certainly
have nothing to gain by trying to
fight with Nathan.

The inquisitor sighed and began to
walk toward the office where he had
interrogated Nathan. No one said a
word as they went. Once they were
inside Nathan shut the door and
locked it.
“Sit down,” Nathan said.
The inquisitor gave Nathan a defiant
look for a second, but ultimately
he sat down.
