Byron Edgington on Marvin Arnold's Flight of the Setting Sun: "Marvin, where can I find these books? They sound wonderful."
Soft back copies are available on Amazon (hard covers of novel and LC by special order). eBooks of all three are on Kindle and two on Apple, etc. The novel, Flight of the Setting Sun, has been well received by readers and almost to a person it is said that it should be made into a movie; so with much struggle, I did write the screenplay. Am now back to work trying to finish the novel, Starchild, started several years ago. Thanks for asking
THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO MAKE.
The world we live in today offers a wide variety of gods to choose from. These gods range all the way from the god of the moon to the God who created the moon and every imaginable kind of god in between.
When it comes down to it, not many people question the existence of some kind of Supreme Being or Higher Authority. Even an atheist prays when the airplane they are on is about to crash. Nature (the heavens and the earth) and even life itself proves that there has to be a Master Designer involved in creation.
The question then isn’t “Is there a God?” so much as “Which God should I choose?” With so many choices available though, how can we ever be sure we are choosing the right one?
This book takes a closer look at some of the more prevalent and popular gods of today to see how they stack up against the qualities that a real God should possess. After all, shouldn’t the true God have distinguishable characteristics that would set Him apart from all the other false gods? Shouldn’t we be able to know for sure that He is the right God?
Which God Should I Choose? is a book designed for many situations. It answers the questions of those seeking true spiritual guidance by examining facts concerning the cults and religions of today. It also provides proven direction for finding the key that unlocks the door to true peace and happiness for their lives. Because of the extensive research and easy-to-understand summary of the facts contained on its pages, Which God Should I Choose? should also be considered as an information manual to assist those who share their faith with others. Finally, We are hoping you will consider Which God Should I Choose? the perfect gift for graduates, as well as family members and friends who need to have a better understanding of God because it offers the buyer an easy reach out solution to those they have been praying for. The author builds a relationship with the reader and proves with interesting and verifiable facts that the God of the Bible is the only right choice.

In prison he was sent to solitary for riots and investigations. He states, ”It is very hard to avoid any violence in prison where the isn’t much rehabilitation. People with mental issues, drug and alcohol issues interact with gangs and people just trying to survive and the ingredients are toxic. In prison every inch of space is decided over and often fought over, like who can use which tables, showers, space on the yard, work out bars etc.”

1944 was a fraught year in Australia. Thousands of people mourned their menfolk in the army, navy and airforce, many of whom did not make it home. In Europe and the South Pacific - Asia and the islands as well as Australia, troops from Australia, New Zealand and America fought for our future. It was a sad time to be born, but my mother - a single parent and an outcast at the time - managed to keep me for two years before I was stolen - as were so many children in Australia at that time- by the government.
I was very fortunate to be adopted shortly afterwards and have a first class education, which eventually enabled me to write novels! My English teacher, a stern Scotswoman called Miss Young (Youngy) is the one person I would thank for giving me the tools to do this.
Currently, my husband Andrew and I live in southeast Queensland with our nine pet rats - yes, pet rats! We lost our 20yo cat, Fuss three weeks ago and are still in mourning.
Our three children are middle-aged now (OMG) and we have three grandchildren who are 17, 8 and 6. We would love to see more of them, but as the 17 yo is working and the little ones are at school in a city nearby, this is not as often as we would like. We do enjoy having them come out to our country town and stay for the weekend.
We do quite a bit of volunteering in our community and love to travel! Last year we spent a fair bit of the kids inheritance and spent 2 months in the USA, where we had a wonderful time. The people we met were lovely and friendly. My fellow authors whom I met online before we went were just wonderful and made us so very welcome.
Andrew originally came from the UK and we have had two trips back there. Just loved it!
My current crime novels are: THE NAKED ROOM and THE CELIBATE MOUSE - two standalone works featuring DSS Susan Prescott. I also have three short stories up on Amazon as well. My next book, AFTER ARIEL is to be published in November this year.

Parents, youth leaders and Sunday school teachers now have a new resource to teach the lesson of Jonah, there’s price to pay when you disobey. A companion workbook to Just Like Jonah Wail Tales, a short story collection by Cheryl Rogers, is now available.
Wail tales are exaggerates tales or woe, or fish tales, involving a modern Jonah who disobeys God. In each tale, the main character lands in a whale of trouble, but calls upon God.
“It is hope that young people will learn through these wail tales rather than living through their own,” says Cheryl Rogers, who publishes New Christian Books Online Magazine.
The original short story collection targets 10- to 14-year-olds while Just Like the Jonah Workbook targets all those who would teach them privately or in a group setting. The workbook, which retails for $3.99, contains discussion questions and Scripture citations. It is available in ebook formats for the iPad, Kindle, Nook, computer and other ereaders.
Rogers came to know the Lord as an adult through a serious illness. A former newspaper reporter, she has dedicated herself to share the good news of Jesus Christ through her writing. She has authored a number of ebooks, both fiction and nonfiction, aimed at readers of all ages. But she reaches out to young people through many of her works in hopes of sparing them the pain of not having God in their lives.
Her new Bible Camp Mystery series lays out the biblical path to salvation and teaches the importance of obedience and prayer to young adults. The first story, Lost in the Woods: A Bible Camp Mystery, is about a 13-year-old who disappears in the Florida backwoods. While he’s lost, he finds God.
Her devotions book, Fast Track to Victory, A Christian Guidebook, targets news and young Christians with 40 short devotions to encourage them to spend time with God regularly. The book for ages 10 and up distills the biblical truths we need to truly love and forgive others, set aside pride, deal with tragedy and death and lots more.

In one of those “kids say the darnedest things moments” when they spill the family secrets, a neighbor’s son told me “my parents always say that if it happens outside my door, I don’t need to get involved”. I wanted to ask if his parents explained what kind of things he shouldn't be involved in – was it the argument overheard next door or the cry for help from a stranger? In the end, I decided not to question the youngster.
How much do we involve ourselves in the lives of others? And where do we draw the line?
What would you do if you knew a child was in trouble and possibly being abused by one of the adults she yearns to trust? There are some people who, by the nature of their jobs, are legally required to report all suspected child abuse such as teachers, doctors, police officers, and child care providers to name just a few. Any adult who lives with the child who has been abused is also legally required to report the situation although all too often these people are either involved in the abuse or complicity denying the existence.
What about the rest of us, what is our moral obligation to report when we've seen a child in distress with repeated and multiple bruises, or worse?
We need to learn to recognize the signs of abuse and not deny that it might be happening. Severe injuries, multiple bruises from obviously different occasions, fear at the idea of going home, a lack of medical care for illness or injury, detailed tales of sexual activity, consistently unkempt appearance, or frequent and constant hunger MAY be signs we should pay attention to. If a child comes to you with a blatant cry for help and story of an abusive situation, it shouldn’t be discounted without consideration. And as the parent of a child who once screamed for help standing at her bedroom window when she was angry for being sent to her room for a time-out, I am aware that sometimes things CAN be misunderstood.
If we must err though, we should err on the side of the child’s safety. Child protective agencies exist in every region and depending on the size of your municipality maybe even in your city. If you suspect the possibility of child abuse contacting them may very well be the first step in saving a child’s life. The staff at these offices are trained to determine if the information you provide is enough to warrant a more thorough investigation so they will ask you questions such as what you witnessed, if you've seen former evidence, and how well you know the people involved (to assess your vantage point). Your name will be kept out of it if they decide to investigate so you shouldn't worry about repercussions. Unless it can be proven that you maliciously reported a false case, you are immune to any consequences. Cases will be investigated and any actions taken will be done in the best interests of the child.
When I researched information for my novelBartlett’s Rule, I came across survivors of childhood abuse and one of the things repeatedly stated was why people who knew didn't do anything to help. Physical and emotional scars never go away. Children are vulnerable and often not able to speak up and explain what is happening to them – but if we suspect abuse, we should do something to help. It's the right thing.
