Four elderly friends spend their days exploring life, the world and their neighborhood from the perspective of Gordon's porch.Their peaceful lives are disrupted when Gordon's wife passes away and they must do their best to continue with their lives while dealing with their loss. And to complicate matters, Gordon's daughter Carol doesn't like the idea that Dad would now be living alone now that Mom has passed away. Perhaps they should consider Gordon moving into a senior center.Gordon and his friends band together. Their neighborhood is all the senior center they need. The neighborhood. A very quiet side street, a dozen middle-class, well-maintained homes, most of the residents senior citizens.
In a myriad of ways, prolific writer Gordon Offin-Amaniampong had never come across or seen 'The Mega Basket ' (probably the size of a super shopping centre). It was the most sought after venue in town as its brand name seemed to have caught fire. Intrigued by its sheer size and all its acclaimed good stuff, the writer decided to explore.It was a journey that appeared improbable from the beginning. But he would press on to the wire. He was seen by many walking the corridors of the powerful, trekking the boundaries of slum-lords, in bed with 'Galamseyers', as well as dabbling in politics, sports, life style and many more..Oftentimes, it's hard to find real good stuff at the right time. Why? They seem extinct like the pink-eyed forest dweller--Gerygone insularis or the Hawaiian honey creeper with a spectacular bill. But did Gordon find the Mega Basket? And was his find good enough to stand tall among the lot?He calls his find: 'Gordon's Hodgepodge.''Gordon's Hodgepodge' it's a mega basket with all kinds of fruit put together. They include, feature articles, wise sayings, riddles, and short stories. It's like shopping from one store to another at a mini plaza----crisscrossing aisle by aisle, checking out the goodies at the same time doing people watching.The stories are beautifully synchronised in a way to capture the readers' attention.Hodgepodge is also woven like 'Kente' a signature cloth by the people of Ghana in the West Africa region. The book hooks the reader up right from the get go. And one can't drop it until one gets it all tasted and feel mesmerized It's a must-read Book.

His approach leads him on a genealogical search through local archives and city cemeteries for traces of an ancestor who fought with the First Vermont Cavalry during the Civil War.

Gordon is a sweet and loyal Mastiff growing up through the pages of this book. Most puppies are mischievous and Gordon is no exception. He is loving and silly as we laugh at his antics. All the stories in this book occurred in real life. His companion and best friend Warthog is the comedy relief through their adventures.

This story is being told through Gordon, my current companion. He is snoring away as I write this. This is not just the story of Gordon. This book contains stories that occurred from all my Mastiffs past and present. This is dedicated to Dozer, Rufus, Luna, Duke, Gordon and all future Mastiffs that come into my life.
Hanna is innocent of the crime her family is accused of, but she was banished to the farthest settlement to either survive or die in exile. She is reasonably certain her family is not waiting for her to die, but actively sending people after her. Her days are numbered, but she uses the talent and skills the planet gave her to warn others that those who are exiled are not necessarily the ones to blame. Mazy, a local healer, asks Hanna to clean her brother's house. Before she can restock her own supplies, her connection to the planet is broken and she is more vulnerable than ever before. While she is recovering, Gordon binds their lives in a bond she does not understand, but she can feel growing with every breath they take. Gordon's Pride takes place on the planet of NewEarth. Gordon, a human Farmer, joins his power and life with Hanna, an exiled Miner. As the bond grows linking their thoughts and emotions, they must find a way to foster the bond between them. By joining their connections to the planet, Gordon ensures that any threat to Hanna is also a threat to himself. They will either survive together or die that way. Meanwhile Grabon, a territory dragon and companion to Heron, matures. Heron counts Gordon as his friend, but even he is stunned when Grabon claims the territory that not only includes Gordon's farm, but also a village of humans. In the NewEarth Series, the planet is sentient, powerful and guarded by a complex society of mammalian dragons who see little use for the new-comer humans who have previously occupied a very small space on the planet. The human population is increasing and beginning to grow substantial bonds with their new planet. Those bonds are manifesting in psychic abilities previously unheard of in the human population. As the humans expand their place on the planet, encounters with dragons are inevitable. What the Farmer knows about dragons is limited, but it is more than most humans. Heron is the first human to interact and communicate with a dragon. He and Grabon have been traveling among the humans and the dragons for many cycles. To keep the peace between the two species, they allow them each their feelings of superiority. Heron does not reveal his intelligence to the dragons and Grabon conceals his nature and intelligence with the humans. It worked for thirty cycles until Grabon matured and chose Heron's human friend's farm to include in his territory. Having a dragon claim a territory inhabited by humans causes some real concerns among many of the humans, and it causes some issues for the dragon as well. Gordon's Pride is the first story in the continuing Saga of NewEarth. For upcoming titles and release dates, visit JuliaSchmeelk.com

Gordon Frederick Browne (15 April 1858 - 27 May 1932) was an English artist and children's book illustrator in the late 19th century and early 20th century. He was born in Banstead, the younger son of notable book illustrator Hablot Knight Browne (who as "Phiz" illustrated books by Charles Dickens). He studied art at the Heatherley School of Fine Art and South Kensington Schools and started to receive professional commissions while still at college. From the 1880s, Browne was one of Britain's most prolific illustrators, his work appearing in newspapers, magazines and many books by children's authors including Frederic William Farrar, G.A. Henty, Juliana Horatia Ewing, Andrew Lang, Talbot Baines Reed, L. T. Meade, Catherine Christian and E. Nesbit. Browne worked in watercolour and pen and ink. He was a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI) and the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA). Browne was an early member of the Society of Graphic Art and showed three works at their first exhibition in 1921. He died in Richmond, London in 1932............... Juliana Horatia Ewing (n e Gatty) (3 August 1841 - 13 May 1885) was an English writer of children's stories. She displayed sympathetic insight into children's lives, admiration for things military, and strong religious faith. Youth and marriage: Known as Julie, she was the second of ten children of the Reverend Alfred Gatty, vicar of Ecclesfield in Yorkshire, and Margaret Gatty, who was herself a children's author. The children were educated mainly by her mother, but Julie was often the driving force behind their various activities: drama, botany etc. Later she was responsible for setting up a village library in Ecclesfield and helped out in the parish with her three sisters. Early stories of hers appeared in Charlotte Yonge's magazine Monthly Packet. On 1 June 1867, she married Major Alexander Ewing (1830-1895) of the army pay department. He was also a keen churchgoer, who shared his wife's interest in literature. Within a week of their marriage, the Ewings left England for Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, where he had received a new posting. They remained there for two years, before returning to England in 1869 and spending eight years in the army town of Aldershot. Although her husband was sent overseas again, to Malta in 1879 and Sri Lanka in 1881, Ewing's poor health would not allow her to accompany him. The Ewings moved to Trull, Somerset, on his return in 1883, and in 1885, to Bath, in the hopes that the change of air would do her good. However, her health continued to deteriorate, and after two operations, she died there on 13 May 1885.She was given a military funeral at Trull three days later. Her sister Horatia Katharine Frances Gatty (1846-1945) published a memorial of Julie's life and works which includes a publication history of her stories. A later selection includes some of Julie's letters and drawings about Canada. A biography by Gillian Avery appeared in 1961......................
