The Adventures of Captain Will and the Pirate Ship, "Mary Faye", Volume Four, PIRATE LADS
These are the escapades of the sloop "Mary Faye" as Captain Will and his crew sailed the waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico. They sailed during a time of great change in the Florida panhandle. France, Spain, England, the upstart colonists, as well as the Native American tribes, all desired the control of Florida during the late 1600, 1700 and early 1800's. The "Mary Faye" was one of the last pirate ships to operate in the New World. The ship and her crew plundered the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and raided the inland trading posts and other areas along the Apalachicola River. They made friends with the Apalachee Indians and joined in efforts to drive out any foreign country from the Indian nation. Adventure was everywhere and anywhere for the ship and crew. Their travels took them from the Gulf coast to the Florida boundary with Georgia. Many of the adventures occurred in what is present day Apalachicola National Forest and Tate's Hell State Forest, as well as the current Florida counties of Columbia, Suwannee, Dixie, Jackson, Franklin, Liberty, Gadsden, Gulf, Leon, and Wakulla.

When Mary Reid-Hill was 38 years old, she had an enormous freaking stroke (that's not the exact scientific name), which essentially left her battling for her life. This crisis followed a twisted childhood, a teenage marriage, and a diagnosis of cancer at age 22-leaving Mary to cope with a new set of challenges with half a brain and a seriously compromised body. "In Spite Of" all the the health challenges, psychological roadblocks, and spiritual upheaval, Mary has persevered-defying doctors, therapists, and insurance companies, all of whom underestimated her grit, optimism, and humor, three tools that have served her best during her 15+ years of recovery. Her story has value for anyone because it will surely grab a piece of you and take you on a worthwhile ride. Buckle up and enjoy

An alabaster box examines how individual transformation intersects with communal expectations in a tightly knit village governed by unspoken rules. The novel reveals how personal ambition must often be masked as piety, especially when institutional roles demand moral restraint and emotional suppression. Beneath the surface of polite society, subtle tensions emerge between tradition and change, casting doubt on motives that deviate from established norms. Acts of kindness are dissected for hidden agendas, and any disruption to social order is treated with suspicion. The presence of a stranger becomes the catalyst for self-reflection and unease, as the townspeople grapple with their own insecurities while projecting judgment onto others. The story highlights the fragility of public trust, the performance of virtue, and the struggle to maintain dignity in a community where conformity outweighs honesty. In this atmosphere, emotional truths are stifled, and generosity is seen less as grace and more as a challenge to authority. The result is a study in power, isolation, and the elusive nature of sincerity.

Helping Sophomores Succeed serves as a foundation for designing programs and services for the second-year student population that will help to promote retention, academic and career development, and personal transition and growth. Praise for Helping Sophomores Succeed "Lost, lonely, stressed, pressured, unsupported, frequently indecisive, and invisible, many sophomores fall off the radar of campus educators at a time when they may most be seeking purpose, meaning, direction, intellectual challenge, and intellectual capacity building. The fine scholars who focused educators on the first-year and senior transitions have done it again?a magnificent book to focus on the sophomore year!" ?Susan R. Komives, College Student Personnel Program, University of Maryland "For years, student-centered institutions have front-loaded resources to promote student success in the first college year. This volume is rich with instructive ideas for how to sustain this important work in the second year of college." ?George D. Kuh, Chancellor's Professor and director, Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research "A pioneering work, this brilliant text explores in practical and meaningful ways the all but neglected sophomore-year experience, when students face critical choices about their major, their profession, their life purpose." ?Betty L. Siegel, president emeritus, Kennesaw State University? "All members of the campus community?faculty, student affairs educators, staff, and students?will benefit from learning about the unique challenges of the second college year. The book provides research and best practices to help educators and students craft an integrated, comprehensive approach to helping second-year students succeed." ?Marcia Baxter Magolda, distinguished professor, Educational Leadership, Miami University The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience® and Students in Transition supports and advances efforts to improve student learning and transitions into and through higher education by providing opportunities for the exchange of practical, theory-based information and ideas.
