Find peace, hope, love and closure in a time of unbearable events that cripple your very soul and leave you resting on your knees. To find a smile through breaking and falling tears. To give something to hold onto after your arms are left childless, something to embrace.

The title of the book Where Have All the Children Gone? poses a question not easy to answer. Read about children through four decades to see how life has changed and how some things never change. Everyone has a story to tell, so several stories are included from friends and family--may be a different viewpoint. The ending is for you to find out, and maybe you'll ask some questions about children. --Charity Roszel

What happened to the Vietnam protesters and civil rights activists? Where did their idealism lead them? And what do they feel they have contributed to the nation's political debate? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in the first-hand narratives, history, and photographs of Where Have All the Flower Children Gone? Chapters examine such aspects as the origins of the student protest movement and the conservative backlash as well as the fates of draft evaders, expatriates, and conscientious objectors. Respondents explore the conflict between the various generations over Vietnam, Iraq, and other issues. What happened to the children of the 1960s, and how do they reconcile their pasts with the present? Gurvis examines little-known aspects of the 1960s such as an uprising at Colorado State and coffeehouses that helped soldiers form opinions about Vietnam. Where Have All the Flower Children Gone? puts a contemporary face on the Age of Aquarius. Gurvis interviews such officials as Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska) and such high-profile former radicals as Bernadine Dohrn. The book also provides one of the last interviews with the late Ossie Davis. The major and minor players of Kent State and Jackson State, where students and others perished at the hands of soldiers, weigh in as well as do the generations preceding and succeeding the Baby Boomers.

Shirley Jackson meets "The X-Files" in this riveting novel of supernatural horror.

Let me take you on a trip. Destination is wherever I desire. Method of transportation is my paper and pen. Time of departure is when I begin. For those of you who know who Edgar Allan Poe was, my writing is similar to his. My poems and short stories are all written in a rhyming format. So if you're looking for sinister deeds and horror, I suggest you stick with Mr. Poe's work. But I guarantee you my writings will entertain and enlighten you, and I have no doubt that you will be able to see yourself in some of my writings.
