It is indeed rare when the young victim of a brutal crime grows up to reveal his story in a way that is both compelling and objective. Such is the case with Keith Smith in the gripping and deeply disconcerting bio-novel, Men in My Town. Based on his experience of having been abducted, beaten, and raped by a local pedophile, Smith reminds us how quickly the innocence of youth can be snatched away. But there are two stories here, one of despair, the other of revenge. While the boy in this novel shares the terror of the attack and the fear that grips his life thereafter, the reader is also pulled into the fictionalized account of his attacker's murder, orchestrated by a few local men who take it upon themselves to seek retribution and give Smith, and other boys of Lincoln, Rhode Island, peace of mind. Who murdered him and how is the stuff of fiction. That the case was never solved is truth. A compelling and chilling story about violence, survival, and retribution.

When Joe Murphy's wife, Linda, spies an ad for a "beautiful 3-story Victorian house in need of some TLC," the couple jumps at the chance for their dream home. Renovating it will allow them to indulge their passion for antiques and to get closer to an era they believe was a better time. Privately, Joe hopes that the project will also fill the void that has opened within their family life. They embark upon a grueling three-year renovation to restore the house to its former splendor, and everything seems perfect...until the morning Joe awakes to find a horse-drawn milk cart in his driveway and his family inexplicably transported back to the year 1909. Suddenly the Murphys' dream for a simpler time becomes a shocking reality, one in which they will struggle to adapt to turn-of-the-century Iowa while seeking a way to return home. Completely Restored is a unique page-turner of a novel, filled with historical figures and events that help to teach a modern family about the simple joys of life.Reader Reviews: "An Unassuming Jewel!, Robert Kerr's Completely Restored, starts as a very unassuming book...But Kerr is careful not to turn this into a simple romantic view of the past by interjecting a number of plot arcs which also convey how different the rule of law, child protection, and the limitations of medicine were one hundred years ago...The book evokes a feeling of nostalgia and desire for simpler times while at the same time making one appreciate the things they have today." Todd Fonseca, Minneapolis, MN, Author of The Time Cavern "...obviously a natural story teller and this fact shines through on each page... a 'page turner'...after the first couple of pages into this book, you will be completely hooked and have a difficult time putting it down until the conclusion. Highly recommend this one and highly recommend you put it on your reading list." Don Blankenship, The Ozarks - Amazon.com Top 100 Reviewer "I read the first five pages on the website and you've got me hooked!" Phyllis Pratt, Des Moines, IA "It was nice to read about an American family who cared for each other and which come together, not pull apart, to solve different dilemmas. Robert Kerr seems to have the knack to intertwine suspense with history." Carolyn Strickler, Des Moines, IA "I'm speechless! Completely Restored is great reading for the whole family...I can't wait to read his next one." Pat Wadkins, Grand Island, NE "A fine mix of history, the mystical, and the "ticking clock". The story line and dialogue move at a good pace. A most enjoyable read." B.G., Salina, KS "Charming! Witty! Intelligent! A Mystery with History! Fit For The Twilight Zone! History, mystery and time travel combine to make a charming, witty, and intelligently crafted tale of 'what if...?'" By Gary Val Tenuta, author of The Ezekiel Code "Unique Family Time Travel - Robert Kerr's Completely Restored is a heart-warming part mystery, part time-travel tale of a family in crisis due to unexpected circumstances. As they struggle to adjust to their new lives and try to find a way back home, they also begin to learn more about one another. Although the whole book is interesting, especially for its historical information and characters, the latter chapters pick up speed to a satisfying and unexpected end." By Edie Dykeman - Amazon.com Vine Voice "Kudos for an exciting book about so many wonderful themes--love of family, love of history, love for community!...Once I started reading Completely Restored, I couldn't put the book down. Thanks for a quality book to read during an Iowa blizzard!" Marilyn Dysart, Marshalltown, IA "Mr. Kerr has proven that you can take actual historical events and write a book that is not only enjoyable to read but also leaves you with some actual brain food! Here is one reviewer who is looking forward to Completely Restored...The Movie!" William Wilson, Marshalltown, IA
"What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus?" is the funny and skeptical, yet genuine exploration of the Christian history they don't teach in Sunday school. It finds humor, irony, and occasional insight amid the inconsistencies, absurdities, hypocrisies, and flat out weirdness that too often passes for eternal truth. Like a history of religion as done by The Daily Show, it humorously explores the facts, the history, and the big ideas in an engaging and entertaining story. Pitting actual Scripture against pious propaganda, Thomas Quinn treks through chapter and verse of the New Testament, explores the sordid saga of medieval beliefs (including End-of-the-World panics and fights about what kind of stuff Jesus was made of), and reveals some of the shocking attitudes of America's founders toward religion. It isn't always pretty, but it's usually good for a laugh. If war is too important to leave to the generals, religion is too important to leave to the preachers. Skeptics need evangelists, too.

Trying to make sense with worldly nonsense. Just bring the laughs, I'll provide the book that is the entertainment.. This book is Dead Poetry 2. People always talk about having a good time. Well listen I'm not just a writer, but an entertainer as well. You will never see books like mine ever. You may choose to read other books, but my books are very special. I try hard to make others laugh about life's drama. The reason no one gives me a chance is because you want big name writers that couldn't make a hyena even laugh. Most of you don't give a chance to new writers, because you think the famous ones know better. Tell you a story rich people don't know how it feels to be poor, only if they become poor themselves. The point is don't try to make others laugh if you yourself don't laugh. If you buy this book in Amazon it is cheaper than other sites. This book goes on for at least 400 pgs put it this way you spend the same price on two hundred page books. So it all works out. If you don't like the math then learn English. This book is my DEAD POETRY 2 book. Don't listen to any garbage out there. I published DEAD POETRY in 2007 Then I created this book in 2009 as I continued DEAD POETRY in the years to come. My dead poetry book now is called dead poetry UPDATED 2021. This book ENTER HERE, EXIT THERE is all POETRY. If you like DEAD POETRY you will love this book.Joe E. Amaral

From celebrity and news websites to streaming and social content to lifestyle blogs, family-building successes are routinely and glowingly shared and celebrated. But where are the voices of those who are unable to have children? In relating what happens when nature and science find their limits, Silent Sorority examines a seldom acknowledged outcome and raises provocative, often uncomfortable questions usually reserved for late night reflection or anonymous blogging. Outside of the physical reckoning there lies the challenge of moving forward in a society that doesn't know how to handle the awkwardness of infertility. With no Emily Post-like guidelines for supporting couples who can't conceive, most well-intentioned "fertile" people miss the mark. Silent Sorority offers an unflinching and insightful look at what it's like to be barren in an era of designer babies and helicopter parents.Silent Sorority received the Team RESOLVE Choice Award for Best Book.
Reno was truly Hell on Wheels in the 1920's. The rest of the nation considered the town Sodom and Gomorra, but that's only half the truth. Reno offered everything in the way of adult entertainment, from speakeasy's and houses of ill-repute, to open gaming - legal or not. And it took plenty of sins by the founding fathers to make Reno "The biggest little city in the world."When the gold-veins of Tonopah and Goldfield ran out, the casino owners moved to Reno, where even greater riches awaited. Together, a group of four men (Nick Abelman, Bill Graham, Jim McKay, George Wingfield) took over Reno's casinos and held sway over the town for the next three decades. Together they administered policy, collected juice, ran politicians, and owned the red-light district and most of the town's casinos.When that wasn't enough they took over the banks and laundered money for crooks like "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Alvin Karpis, and Ma Barker's boys, and offered safety to "Baby Face" Nelson. It was a good gig.The Reno Four dictated policy all over Northern Nevada, taking special care of Reno and Lake Tahoe casinos up until the late 1950's. Their influence made Reno before Bill Harrah or "Pappy" Smith ever arrived, needing an introduction and permission to build their own casinos, Harold's Club and Harrah's.This is an expansion, an unabridged version of "Mob City - Reno" with much to tell about Nevada's gold mining towns.

"Every civilization in every Era had its own thinkers, theologians, scientists, philosophers. Every one of them had its own look and its own name, according to the community they were born into, but they all tried out to reach for the deeper and upper truth. Each one in its own way, some through subjective and dogmatic theology, others through the all questioning and objective science, these 2 paths have never managed to engage with one another, until now. This book is not meant to create a new subjective and dogmatic religion, but to lead human kind to a new Era, using the all questioning objective scientific method to explain spirituality. The eternal questions that have always pursued mankind now have the answer, like it has been announced for centuries it would be by the year 2000. Holy Grail was never meant to stand for ancient doctrines or procedures, but to bring us all, a new vision of life and the Universe."
