Firth's Chasm

Firth's Chasm

On a good day,any sane person could never imagine what it would feel like to be on a doomed crashing jetliner, much less live to tell the tale.

A combination of fiction and non-fiction, impossible to tell which, this is the story of one man that lives to tell the experience as the jetliner starts breaking apart at the arctic circle above Canada.

Living through the experience is horrendous enough by itself but when Travis James realizes that his life is thought to be forfeited in the wreckage and there is no help coming? He goes into survival mode as his damaged body wreaks havoc and keeps him trapped in the wilderness, keeping him from traveling south to safety.

A man of means, aching to return to his family that believes he is dead is the driving force that pushes a man to the limits and beyond of his ability as the unfriendly terrain takes it's toll.

When the push south finally begins, the trail is littered with agony and death as the civilized world refuses to acknowledge that there were any survivors or that he is anything other than a homeless man.

A disfigured Travis is constantly trying to decide whether to join his family, knowing he no longer looks quite the same, or to wander off into the sunset and save his family more grief.

Undomesticated: She Had No Remorse

Undomesticated: 

She Had No Remorse

A small Nebraska town is terrorized by a serial killer who targets young “good” girls. The prime suspect disappears and may have himself become someone else’s victim. 

Warren Steelgrave has just written a best-selling novel and gained further nationwide notoriety when he narrowly escaped being murdered at his daughter’s wedding. The local Nebraska town newspaper hires Warren as an investigative reporter because of his unique insights and his uncanny instinct for finding the truth. More papers will be sold and more eyes will be focused on the town’s plight.

In this third novel in the Steelgrave series, author and photographer Gary Smith takes us another thought provoking journey with surprising twists and suspense filled alleyways. Smith’s alter ego, Warren Steelgrave, explores the psyche of an “undomesticated” killer who acts without remorse. Warren soon realizes that he shares many traits with the killer. It is a fine line that makes his own “willingness” to do what is necessary actually be socially acceptable. 

Warren’s romantic kindred spirit, Cindy O’Brien, has been living her life separate; writing songs and performing them across the country. She suddenly joins Warren in Nebraska to escape a deadly stalker. The readers of Smith’s first two books know that Warren will never leave that “stone unturned”.

The varied character plots intertwine as the story unfolds. The reader is challenged to confront their own human nature and how they might react given a challenge outside their moral comfort zone. This latest adventure has an ending that won’t be decided by a jury.

Football's Fearless Activists: 

How Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid, Kenny Stills, and Fellow Athletes Stood Up to the NFL

and President Trump

For the first time, here is the full story of the NFL player protests that rocked a nation and turned our country upside down. This is the players' side, one that has largely been ignored by the media.

On September 1, 2016, Colin Kaepernick took a knee before a preseason game. Little did he, nor anyone else, know the ramifications from that decision. Since being exiled from the National Football League, Kaepernick has stood strong against all those who have attacked him. He and others who took a knee against racial inequality and police brutality have been ridiculed, mocked, threatened, and some have even lost their jobs. They have feared for their safety and that of their loved ones.

But what made Kaepernick kneel, and the entire country turn a silent protest into a national pandemic? One person: President Donald Trump.

For the first time, veteran journalist Mike Freeman sits down with those directly involved in the protests—the players—to find out how things really went down. Readers will learn why they decided to protest, how racism and the murdering of innocent men of color directly affected them, how the politics of protest affected their professional and personal lives, and if anything has even changed for the better.

Including interviews with Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid, Kenny Stills, Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman, and numerous others, see first-hand how the media, President Trump, and the National Football League took a peaceful message for change and turned it on its head. They changed the narrative, accusing these men of being “anti-America,” “anti-military,” and “disrespecting the flag.”

In Football’s Fearless Activists, Freeman offers an opportunity to understand what these protests meant to the players, and how the hatred from the media, President, NFL owners, and some Americans was not only unwarranted, but anti-American.

Sufi Musings During Covid19

A Return to God

A collection of poetry inspired by the Sufi Tradition of Islam

Covid19 came to decimate our lives and forced us to reboot and re-prioritize our lives. Born into a spiritual family, I decided to return to my roots and search deep within my soul for the questions I have had for many years.I pondered, I mused and then one night, when the fear was consuming me, I returned to God, the Almighty. Lying helpless, feeling the despair, I introspected. I opened up the third eye within my soul and searched for God. I looked back at my life. And I wrote on pieces of paper. It seemed the words and emotions were welling from bosom, as if they had been trapped for decades. Now, I share them with you. My inspiration is my family and my guide are the Sufis who show is that the way to the Divine is through the heart. I present to you, the musings from my heart. Anila Aliwww.anilaali.com

United States of Anger: 

Why Linda Sarsour's Rage and the Far Left's Violence Cannot Move Mountains. Thoughts of a British Muslim Conservative

“United States of Anger” is a commentary unlike any other discussing many worldwide issues from a British Muslim Hasan Ali Imam.

London, UK – October 25, 2020 – British Muslim Hasan Ali Imam, a former British Parliament candidate, released his first book, “United States of Anger,” available on Amazon. Imam isn’t new to the political arena and has had an interest ingovernment since his early college years. Imam says, “I felt compelled to write my book in the hopes of creating an open discussion worldwide. There are many governments ranging from democracy, socialism, and communism throughout the world, but at the core, we are all individuals. We should be able to openly discuss our differences, especially when it comes to confronting racism and other global issues.”

For Dr. Melissa Caudle, publisher and editor of the book with Absolute Author Publishing House, she found the book eye-opening. Caudle says, “This isn’t a book that tells you what to think or what you should do. It does make you think about the world and the many situations we confront, including racism and bias. I loved the open approach Imam took without any condemnation. He leaves the reader wanting to know more, but at the same time, provides discourse based on fact and not conjecture.”

ABOUT THE BOOK

“United States of Anger: Why Linda Sarsour’s Rage and the Far Left’s Anger Cannot Move Mountains. Thoughts of a British Muslim Conservative” addresses the toxic nature of debate in America and the need for better understanding between Conservatives (the Right) and Liberals/Socialists (the Left). Civil discussion is the way forward, and this book should be viewed as a precursor to a continuous dialogue.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hasan was born in Bangladesh and has lived in the UK for 47 years. He attended the London School of Economics in the early 1990s and then went on to do an MBA at Imperial College. Hasan has an understanding of the extremist mindset when recruitment attempts were made during university to join the Mujahideen in Afghanistan by a terrorist who was later involved in the murder of the American journalist, Daniel Pearl. He has been involved as a trainer for ‘Prevent’, the UK Government’s counter-terrorism strategy, which seeks to prevent extremists from following the radicalization path. Hasan has helped campaign for Conservative MPs and stood for the British Parliament in 2005 as a Conservative candidate and standing in county elections. He has challenged extremist leaders head-on during that time and believes that this is the only way to diffuse radicalization. He hopes to become a Member of Parliament one day.
