Author's e-books - compassion. Page - 1
For Doctor Paul Hatford, life is coming to its ultimate conclusion. Having been a highly skilled neurosurgeon and a brilliant university professor, the time to retire has finally arrived. But something arises that delays his plans. One of the most generous yet mysterious benefactors to the university wants to meet him. When he does, the benefactor invites Jeffrey to join his private medical research team. The research, however, proves to be something quite different than what he has been led to believe. What Jeffrey discovers is not only alarming, but sinister as well. What does he discover?
Leonardo is a special boy with an emotional disability. But this is not to say that his ability to see things for what they are is in any way inhibited compared to other boys or even the grownups.
In Leonardo's house there lives a Wretch, which is another word for a special kind of servant that every house in the city has. In fact, Wretches are all over the city, being put to use to do every conceivable work that can bring the people comfort.
Recently, questions have arisen regarding the true nature of Wretches. What are they? Where did they come from? What underlies their servitude to the people?
At first the answers to these questions are accepted with great enthusiasm by everyone, including Leonardo and his family. And including Jessica, the leader of a rising movement of people who want the truth to come out. But with time it appears that the answers are not as they seemed, and the people start to reject them.
Soon, Jessica is torn down from her pedestal and is renounced as a dangerous heretic. The people want a certain truth, and they will not accept anyone who questions it. And when even his mom joins the crowd, Leonardo is left confused at his chessboard, where his thoughts are the clearest. What is true, and what is right? And how could a little boy with an emotional deficiency be right when everyone else tells him he's wrong?
This story is intended to play on more than one level, and the reader is invited to seek out these levels, or to find new ones altogether.
Ava Winchester is a werewolf and lives in the small town of Harmony Grove. Her mate just so happens to be her new English teacher.
Matthew Briten is the new English teacher, and is also human. After calling off his engagement, he moved to Harmony Grove from Boston to get away from his crazy ex fiance.
Although it seemed wrong, it wasn't. After all, the Moon Goddess wouldn't of chosen them to be mates if they truly weren't meant to be.
What if the world was dying and there was nothing you could do. Men and women killing each other and wether you survived had no relevance as the human race was doomed. What would Drake do? (entered for flash fiction)
Shanelle has always been the shy type, but when new guy Myrie moves to town. They both discover that change is good and that they truly do change one another for the better. It may start out slow but it gets much better.
Karis Vail befriends a homeless woman in her town of Navigli, just minutes away from the center of Milan, Italy. This is her accounting of finding compassion for one woman living on the streets.
