Sit back, relax, and lose yourself in the fascinating life adventures of a real human being, a person like you and me. As you do, you’ll embark on a familiar, satisfying, and often exhilarating journey of love, joy, sorrow, achievement, and self-discovery. Gary H. Fowler is a Vietnam veteran. He has worked on most of the United States Navy’s aircraft carriers, and for years he worked in direct service to several presidents of the United States. At the time of this publication, he works as a scientific photographer. He is a loving and dedicated father, son, brother, and friend, and perhaps most importantly, he is a dedicated born-again Christian. Gary’s beloved mother asked him to write a book detailing his life experiences. This is such a book. He writes not only about the above-mentioned events, but many others as well. In all cases he tells the truth of his life as he remembers it, even when some of it involves “the good, the bad, and the ugly” that may be more than his mother cared to know. A Walk Through Time is a book of life stories dating back to August 18, 1942, when he was born, written in sixty-five memoirs, at the request of a mother who loves her son and wants the world to know him better. It is a gift to Gary’s mother and a gift to you as well. It will make you laugh and cry, and you will recognize yourself in its pages. It is proof that there are no “ordinary” people and that we each have unique and important stories to tell.

What are we looking for when we buy a book to read? A sigh of time when the body relaxes and the brain still works, an escape to another place and time. Entertainment in any venue, whether it be action, inspirational, educational, dark, light, comedy, "how to," and on and on, "different strokes for different folks." This book is different in that it is made up of thirty writings, each piece was written in my own personal style. I have a mailing list of thirty people that have read each piece as it was written, and from them, perhaps a hundred more read each piece. Many of these readers encouraged me to put the pieces into book form and let everyone read them. So here we are, I hope you find this book entertaining and enlightening, incremental reading at its best.

Waiting for Eli is a historical mystery surrounding the Friedman family's emigration to the United States from Germany in 1933. The layered plot weaves together events in everyday life and creates a complex tapestry that reaches into the past. Events that unfold do not make sense and come with a feeling of chilling uneasiness. The story starts as Phoebe attends the funeral of her grandfather in 2005. Directly following his passing, an antiquities dealer is murdered after handling a piece of the family's heirloom ceramics. For the next four years, Phoebe investigates the murder along with her family’s connections in Europe. She traces the Friedman ‘family business’ across four generations, through two continents, five western European countries, and one very important World War. She learns that Friedman Freedom Fighters were embedded in several international cities during this period and traded goods for lives. Phoebe's evolution as a person and as a participant in the family business finds her confidently settled in her grandfather's house raising another generation of Friedman's as time continues to create and cycle her family's legacy.

This story is an attempt to touch the pulse of todays boys and girls. They spend countless hours in front of their many different games. Preteens match their skills against the latest games and machines. They use gigabytes to compete in 3-D and virtual media. They attend public, private, parochial, and religious schools where they are required to be inside most of the day. They return home to their games and begin to play. Again they are inside, defeating their games in stride. It makes you wonder if they ever go outside. Children spend so much time inside. How can they feel alive? How do they get in touch with nature other side? Todays parents dont want their children out of reach. A ten-year-old boy walking through the woods would be a security breach. I wrote this story to get parents to think. I wrote this story for preteen boys and girls to virtually link.
