Everyone has a story. Sometimes, we need a nudge to revisit our stories and confront the experiences that have shaped our lives.Anthony is not famous. He is not a celebrity, an athlete, or a politician. He's an ordinary guy with a story to tell, asking that bigger question about life. He grew up in a small town in eastern North Carolina. A stellar student, he enrolled in college, where it took him ten years to get a four-year degree. He got married, started raising a family, and embarked on a lifelong career working with college students and mentors. Anthony has battled poor self-image and lack of self-esteem all his life. His daddy told him to "Get out of the way. I can't see through muddy water" and "Don't ask me for a damn thing." Those words have haunted him as he struggled to value his own self-worth.As a college counselor, Anthony's advice to young people reflects his life experience: Friends- choose them carefully, and cultivateChoices- make them wisely, and learnConsequences- embrace them graciously, and move on. "In a world where many who state their faith seem focused on 'looking' perfect, Anthony simply shares his life's highs and lows (and reflections). This book is relatable, surprising, inspiring, shocking, and believable."- Chris Arline, Guilford College '95"The 'Deadly Dilemma' is real to all of us, and I stand with you, Anthony, in the eternal street fight to live an authentic life." - Jeff Thigpen, author of On Point: Voices and Values of Young Elected Officials

Forks In the Road is a story of my life, shaped by many amazing and unexpected events (Forks) which took me from a young farm boy with little more than an elementary country school education into the Korean War, through college, and a 32-year career with a major international airline, culminating with a Vice President position. When that career ended, I decided to take up running and completed my first 26.2-mile marathon at age 63. Over the next 24 years, along with hundreds of shorter races, I completed 233 full marathons (26.2 miles), including four in each of the 50 states as part of the 50 State Marathon organization. I completed that goal at age 87. Finally, among other endeavors, I decided to write this memoir. Everyone has forks, but often takes them for granted. I challenge the reader to recognize his/her own and reflect upon them. Roger was born on June 25, 1931 and raised as an only child of Joseph and Margaret Hauge on a farm in Lac Qui Parle County near Dawson, Minnesota.

Along the way, he encountered several forks in the road which shaped the course of his life. Having always enjoyed writing, Roger felt his experiences were unique enough that others might enjoy reading about them. He now resides in Venice, Florida, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Some of the legends of Glooscap come to us in written word. But before the language was created into a written form, stories were only told in the oral tradition. One such story orally told and remembered but by a handful, tells of the marriage of Glooscap to the beautiful maiden A'sbeh of what was then called the people of Mi'kmaq. This is the story of the effect of the whirlpool called the "Old Sow" and the disastrous effect on the wedding.

The United Nations has launched an internal investigation in trying to expose a secret world government. KR-84 is the countdown to chaos. (Fight the future) I'm Wilbert Galindo, author of the Introduction and KR-84. I was born November 7, 1971, in Bronx, New York. This book that I written took me years to develop even though at first, I never had a publisher. I wanted to draft a story that would make readers think. I miss stories that ask of what if. KR-84 is the first of many in this miniseries of books. What inspired me to do this project? Steven King, Tom Clancy, Robert London, Dean Koontz, and film director Alferd Hitchcock who created good stories. My favorite show is The X-Files. I wanted this book to be different. 13 years in the making and I hope it was worth it. A lot of research went into this project. I'm happy that it's done after all obstacles were in my path. I thank God for giving me the gift of creatively to write.
