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.

“I am going to close the pressure
doors all the same,” Kor Neev said.
“I don’t want them killed,” Nathan said.
“I believe I can lower the doors
enough to trap them but still allow
the air to circulate,” Kor Neev said.
“Alright, make it so,” Nathan replied.
A minute later the sound of welding
or cutting stopped.
“It seems that the gas has run its
course,” Kor Neev said.
“Or they’re faking it,” Nathan said.
“They may have gas masks on board.”
“There is one way to make certain,”
Kor Neev said. “I believe the entire
ship, aside from crew quarters, is
under camera surveillance…”
Kor Neev entered a few commands
and the large monitor in front of her
was abruptly fragmented into smaller
displays showing different portions
of the ship. The majority of the men
were passed out. There were a few
still moving, some of which who had
acquired gas masks, but they were
trapped in their part of the ship by
the bulkheads.
“Success!” Nathan said.
“So it would seem,” Kor Neev said.
“It looks like Americans and Krenth
can accomplish a lot when we work
together, even when the odds are
stacked against us.”
“This incident does not constitute a
sufficiently large sample to make such
a generalization, however, I do agree
that this outcome skews favorably
toward an alliance with your people,
and demonstrates clearly that such
an alliance has potential. I only hope
we can make it back before my father
comes to a decision…”
“You mean, he would proceed
without you?”
“He would. It is highly probable
that they are looking for me, but my
father and the Council were already
very close to a decision prior to my
abduction. They may choose to obtain
another advocate for the American
side, which would cause a delay,
but at this point my father and the
Council must be weighing the merit
of proceeding with this case and going
through the effort of finding a new
advocate verses making a decision
based on everything which has been
established so far.”
“That’s bad.”
“We need to send out a distress
call to my people, and request
immediate pickup.”
