MILES OF HEART is based on a true, ongoing story of twelve childhood friends from the 60's who meet annually for a "Hearts Tournament" in order to recapture their camaraderie in the face of the trials and tribulations of their personal and professional lives. It is a story of enduring friendship as these neighborhood pals gather to honor the past, struggle with the present and fret over the future. As one reviewer states:Miles of Heart "mourns the loss of youth and suffers the rise of the yuppie era, produces moments that are funny, sad and poignant. "
I am a retired businessman and former professional athlete now coaching high school baseball. I am a graduate of Pomona College and Stanford Business School, and not surprisingly, an annual participant in the "Dan DeAngelo Invitational Hearts Tournament."

In 1995-96, most American households weren't "computerized." Computers were just starting to creep into middle class family homes. Our family purchased our first computer in December 1995. Inside the Hewlett Packard box was a CD-ROM entitled, "Ten Free Hours." After the first ten free hours, the financial clock would begin to tick . . . $2.95 an hour to get connected to the internet. Knowing nothing about computers, I figured that the ten free hours would last us a week?, a month? I didn't have a clue. After the first day, I realized how long ten free hours would last . . . Exactly that, a day. From the moment my teenagers instructed me how to get into chat rooms, to instant message and send email, I was hooked.
My non-fiction book tells the story of how I became an internet junkie. Yes, a mom of four daughters, lived to sign on to meet people. After the first week, my kids decided that I had "met" all 35,000,000 people signed on to AOL. They referred to my computer friends as my "fake" friends. I lived in Florida at the time but distance was no issue to meet the people I met on line. I traveled by plane to Wisconsin to meet LIONHEART and drove my convertible to Pennsylvania to meet BBTOOLCO. My first month's AOL bill was over $500! As time went on, I just HAD to speak to the people I was meeting on the computer. My long distance phone bill was over $300 (as there was no unlimited long distance back then).
As I reflected back on the year of the addiction, I couldn't believe my OWN story . . . Yet, I could . . . As I lived that life that nearly cost me my relationship with both family and friends. People that have read my book enjoy the honesty as well as my impulsivity. I have shared what lead me into cyberworld and how I made the exit almost a year later. My book can be found on Amazon as well as on B & N. Sunshine44 (aka Miriam Carney, a Registered Nurse who currently lives in the St. Louis area)
Miriam Carney, a Registered Nurse for over twenty years, is a mother of four grown daughters, and seven grandchildren. Ms. Carney is currently living in the St. Louis area, although she will always call Florida her home.

Hello to everyone!
I am a new author and have just published my first novel Dark of kNight. This is the first book in it's series of paranormal romances.
The story revolves around a young woman who's life is changed after the death of her father. The secrets of who she is has been revealed- a Lycan. A thousand year old bloodline of wolf shape-shifter left behind to protect the mysterious Fort Mountain. Among the secrets of her new life, she discovers a very passionate love and the dangers of what her purpose in this new life contains- killing deadly werewolves.
The story is a thrill ride through her discovery of who she is, her purpose and even the discovery of vampires. The characters are very passionate and loveable. There are very heated moments of passion, suspense and page turning mystery. You will find yourself drawn into the emotions of the characters, tears, and chills of action as well as laugh out loud moments.
Dark of kNight can be found here on Barnes and Noble. The editorial reviews are coming in.
Check out the back cover preview on the link below:
Hope you enjoy it!

Mr. Sherman,
Your book is exactly what I'm looking for. I've read your website so I'm a little nervous about approaching you because I believe that a shared goal is what makes us a team and that history is what makes us teambuild. As adults, because we now have assets that can be lost, it is difficult to make it through storming phase of team formation and get to "norming." I've found that it takes time and commitment.
Your book is about journaling life. I think I can help you develop a whole following of readers who are interested in journaling. I have built a book development website that I believe would be perfect for your book. This website allows book writers to initiate a work, determine whethere strangers can read it, invite others to read "private" parts of it just like you would write a journal.
The difference between my site and fb or blogspot is that the information is static. You write it and it stays in the book. Many things with facebook are reminiscent of newspapers where the following day it's old news. The other benefit is that as the author you have the ability to select parts of the book and print it.
I think it's a great way to develop a following of readers interested in journaling. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Goto http://www.aylerion.com and on the black bar on the top right, highlight the area with your mouse and you'll see `Teens Secret Entrance', follow that link and you can read the book for free.
Why did I do this? Well, I know a lot of people don't have alot of money these days, or extra money, so I figured, hey, "Why not just let them enjoy it. It would be cool."
So you might want to bookmark the site incase you have to return, and feel free to tell your friends.
Here is the synopsis: In this fast-paced thriller, NYC becomes the chessboard for an elaborate cat-and-mouse game. Arthur Torpeddo, mogul by day, stealthy crime boss by night, wields his strategies to capture the elusive Lauren, 'Sewer Rat'. But while he launches the largest sweep imaginable, Lauren awakens to her true purpose forcing this villain to contend with one that could dangerously oppose him.
Let me take you to New York,
Aylerion
