Review of Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character by Dr. Jonathan Shay. Remy Benoit
According to the American Psychiatric Association ( 1987) Post Traumatic Stress disorder's clinical criteria a person exhibiting
symptoms of this syndrome " has experienced an event that is outside the range of usual human experience."
War, most certainly, falls into that basic categorization.
One of the greatest misunderstandings concerning our Veterans of Vietnam is that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder originated with them. The implications that they are constantly confronted with are that they should " just get over it, " " get on with things," and " stop moaning." Our Vietnam Veterans have suffered immensely because of this attitude.
The Blue Star Millennium/Quest for Genesis by David Gau-Ghan. Reviewed by Remy Benoit
David Gau-Ghan has presented us with a serious work; a work that is mind-stretching, soul touching, and possibility awakening. Yet he has not presented us with a sermon but with an exciting action adventure story for us, for our terrestrial home, and throughout our galaxy.
Searching for the Good by Thomas A. Brewer. Reviewed by Remy Benoit
We were raised to believe that there is some good in everything.
We were raised to believe that there is always a silver lining.
We were raised to honor, patriotism, and courage.
We grew up believing in all of those things.

Dean Koontz: The Taking.
We all have them.
The “to do” lists; the “priority” lists.
The taxes are due; the car needs a tune-up; you have a dentist appointment.
The lists are endless, time consuming, nerve wracking. We are followed by a sense of urgency in so many, many things. We call it survival.
But we often fail to see that word, that “survival” word as it applies to others and as it applies to the world we choose to live in and to leave to our children.
Oh, yes, the children.
Where are they on your priority list?
What if you woke tonight, in deep dark of the middle of the night, to find a hard rain falling; a hard, alien rain that was washing away all you knew the earth and civilization to be?
What then would be on your priority list?
What then would be of the most importance?
And how are you personally up to dealing with a hard washing away of all you knew of the world?
Dean Koontz’, The Taking, has some questions and answers for you. Dare to ask these questions of yourself.
The Taking. Please note: This book is not for young children.

Is There Anyone Who Doesn't Like a Touch of ROMANCE?. Remy Benoit
A friend of mine once mentioned that his granny used to say, "For every pot, there is a lid" when she was referring to loving and finding that special someone.
Is there anyone who did not think at one time or another that there was no lid for them?
In the heat of Louisiana bayou there was a Veteran pilot who thought just that. A tall, dark Cajun who thought his physical wounds were too much for him to ever be loved, really loved.
But then, of all things, a Feng Shui decorator walks into his bayou to meet her long lost granny, and the sultry Louisiana nights turn a lot hotter.
Join Sandra Hill and the man who is Tall, Dark and Cajun. and learn about the sweetness of our hot Louisiana nights.
