Edgar Allan Poe is considered by many to be the premier writer of the macabre, both in story and in poetry. Yet it is my pleasure to introduce to you the man who continues where Poe left off. David Lewis Paget is an accomplished Australian Poet. His narrative poems are of such high quality both in rhyme and meter that there are few his equal. Over the past forty years or more, David Lewis Paget has honed his skill as a Narrative Poet to such a degree that his ability to scare and yet also touch the heart are as sharp as any knife. I became acquainted with David's writings only a year ago while searching for a good volume of poems to read during October, and was considering more of Edgar Allan Poe's work when a copy of "The Devil on the Tree & Other Poems of Dysfunction" appeared on the internet. I took a chance on it, read it in one sitting, cover to cover, and found myself chilled to the bone. Read this one for yourself, and see. (Keith A. Fowler)

Topics range from Henry Ford's diet and health, to members of the Ford family, advertising campaigns, dealerships, and shareholders.

This provocative book provides a comprehensive interpretation of Montaigne's Essays as a work of political philosophy. David Lewis Schaefer diverges from the prevailing view, which prizes the Essays as an example of authentic literary self-portrayal but holds that the book is not a coherent philosophical work. Arguing for Montaigne's significance as one of the philosophic architects of the intellectual revolution that generated the distinctive characteristics of modernity, Schaefer demonstrates the extent to which Montaigne was a systematic, radical, and political thinker. For the 2018 second printing, the author has included a list of his most important publications on Montaigne since this book's original publication.

Stunned and bewildered, Ryan frantically marshals efforts to find her, only to discover that Melissa is not who she claimed to be. Her social security number and name are fabricated, her personal history false. Ryan doesn't know that Melissa has escaped to Pennsylvania Dutch country, where she rents a room from a sweet Amish woman. As the two become friends, Melissa's painful history unfolds. A breathtaking turn of events brings the providential hand of God to center stage in two hearts wounded by the past and present.
