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.

TRAILS TO AND TALES OF
SANDERSON, TEXAS
The Saga Continues Book 2
Cleo W. Robinson Jr.
Hardcover | $25.95
Paperback | $15.99
This sequel begins where the first book ends. The same locales and characters are still
very much involved. However, a few more characters will be trailing into the area from a
couple of new geographic locations to keep the action moving. The new characters bring
their own unique backgrounds and survival skills. They are good people, friendly, but do
not push them.
If you ever wanted to go on a Mountain Lion hunt, this is your chance. But be alert
and watch your back. You’ll get acquainted with some good horses, a talented mule,
several great dogs and, if I recall correctly, a snake will make an unwanted appearance.
Intermixed with all action involving four legged critters and a snake, we’ll have time and
for some romance. We can’t have a novel that contains plenty of strong women and good
men and not expect to read about some he- in’ and she-in’ or, if you prefer, some she-in’
and he-in’ taking place. (I told you that the Sanderson women are strong.) A fairly large
portion of the book goes back to the Civil War and the months following the conflict as a
war weary Wilson ancestor journeys back to the family ranch. Enjoy.
Cleo Walton Robinson, Jr. lives in Omaha, NE with his wife Carol (Diane) Harrer-
Robinson. They have a daughter and two grandchildren. Cleo is a graduate of Missouri
State University, Springfield, Missouri, with a Bachelor of Science in Education
Degree (History) and a Master of Arts Degree, in International Relations from The
University of Southern California, Los Angles. Cleo is a retired DOD investigator
and an Army LTC, Military Intelligence Officer (Ret). He had two tours of duty in
Vietnam and a four-year assignment as an Intelligence Officer and Security Officer
at Headquarters United States European Command, Stuttgart, Germany. He also
had three tours in Kansas City, Missouri as a Counterintelligence Officer and Special
Security Officer and served one tour as a member of the Staff and Facility at the U.S
Army Intelligence School, Fort Holabird, Baltimore, Maryland. Four nine months,
between High School and College, Cleo lived in Sanderson, Texas where he collected
local stories and characters. He combined his Sanderson material with some of the
many stories his father and told him as he was growing up. Using his two primary
sources of material and some his own experiences and healthy imagination, two books,
both set in Sanderson, Texas were produced. Trails to and Tails of Sanderson, Texas
and the sequel, Trails to and Tales of Sanderson, Texas, Book !!, The Saga Continues.
