BAD SCARLETT
The ​Extraordinary Life Of The Notorious
​Southern Beauty Marie Boozer

Picture
Marie Boozer (1846-1908) was a beautiful, brilliant, and notorious strawberry-blonde who established a remarkable life. Above all, she was human—complete with foibles and attributes beyond the stereotypical perception held by the public. Bad Scarlett: The Extraordinary Life of the Notorious Southern Beauty Marie Boozer is her first full-length biography and reveals the true, redemptive story of a young belle from South Carolina who transformed into a scandalous divorcée in New York and London, a Paris courtesan defying police authority, and ultimately a countess and world citizen—while her half-sisters raised families in pioneer Florida. Myths about Marie Boozer, including the Kilpatrick legend, are demolished, and Civil War military heroes are acknowledged. Amelia Feaster's letter to Abraham Lincoln and Union soldiers' diaries prove who burned Columbia, South Carolina.
  Author, historian, and professor emeritus at Emory University, Bell Irvin Wiley deemed Marie Boozer “one of the four most famous southern women of the Civil War,” and popular historian Manly Wade Wellman wrote that she was the basis for the character of Scarlett O'Hara. Finally, Marie's entire story is told.
Praise for Bad Scarlett:
Alexander Moore, historian of South Carolina: “A skilled historian and imaginative writer, Deborah C. Pollack has replaced half-truths and prejudices with a complete, exhaustively-researched biography of Marie Boozer’s life. Pollack also has rescued La Boozer from 150 years of calumny, smirking innuendos, and insipid scholarship at the hands of Lost Cause zealots, pot-boiler novelists, and pop culture historians. The real-life Marie Boozer had a character that was braver, more independent, and far grander than any of the legends about her.” ​

​Universal Logic

Biography
 
Bill J. Sego served in the Ohio Army National Guard from 1990 through 1998 where he was a Hawk Missile Systems mechanic in Logan and McConnelsville.  From 1993
through 1997, Bill attended college at Ohio University and, after switching majors, later transferred to Hocking College.
In addition to majoring in Secondary History Education and Dietetics, Mr. Sego enrolled in a plethora of different philosophy courses, later developing a unique genre that combines elements of idealism, rationalism, panpsychism, transhumanism, and futurism, all culminating in an ontology he calls universal logic.  He feels each has something to contribute to the “big picture,” and his book outlines that model in a way the general public is able to comprehend with little effort.
Bill is an established, part-time blogger on Hubpages.com where he hopes to do his part in making the world a better place for all of humankind.
Bill Sego was born in Columbus, Ohio in the fall of 1972.  He and his wife, Candy, reside in Logan where they operate a small, local business.  They are succeeded by 5 children, 2 grandchildren, 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a bunny.

HAUNTED HISTORIC COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA

About the Author
Tim Scullion specializes in fine art photography as well as the paranormal. He has a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from William and Mary and is a published author/photographer. Among his works is a novel called Nick—which removes all of the commercial trappings of Christmas and takes the reader to a place where giving oneself is the real meaning of the holiday. Tim has written and illustrated a children’s book, called the Kids Forever Club, with an emphasis on safe and educational activities for parents to participate in with their children. He has also written a guitar instruction series of four books on advanced lead guitar.

"About 5 years ago while working at Colonial Williamsburg as a tour guide, I was asked to give ghost tours. I was a profound skeptic about ghosts, but I did it because it sounded like fun. On these ghost tours, every once-in-a-while someone would take a photo (usually with just a cell phone) and capture something paranormal that no one could see with the naked eye. As a photographer myself I thought, if a random tourist could capture something on a cheap cell phone camera, what could I do with my equipment? So over the next two years I began to experiment with my techniques and with the technology. I began to get ghost photos of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Out of over 10,000 photos taken in a 2-year span, I have selected 230 of the very best to include in this book. I have classified these photos into three different categories:
  1. Geo-lights—apparitions of various colors and geometric shapes of light,
  2. Classic whites—with an appearance of a white, ephemeral face with eyespots and sometimes a nose and/or mouth feature, and
  3. Visages—faces with distinguishable human features. However, there are some photos which defy a rational description and for which I have no explanation—perhaps only God does.
The great thing about Colonial Williamsburg is that there is a concentration of ghosts here due to the area’s amazing history and its role in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. For those that are skeptical of the veracity of the photographs, I have set aside a folder of some of my best photos to be released at the proper time to be examined by experts so that they can determine that they have not been tampered with or altered in any way! This book not only is proof that life continues after death, but also that the forms that it can take are boundless. It has profoundly is no longer a viable belief system; here is proof that there is life after death, along with an infinite number of questions that we know no answers to . . . yet!"—Tim Scullion

Awakening: The Prince of Nabalar
(Book 1 in The Princes of Uvieroein Series)
​
​Note:  This book contains some adult content.

Author: Diana Flame
​One prophecy. One girl. One Galaxy.
When a human becomes the most important thing to a planet that is light years away from earth, then there must be something seriously wrong. As fate would have it, one such human exists.
In a sector where the evil thrive and the innocent is punished for deeds they have not committed, enters one woman from earth who threatens the plot of the evil forces. Her coming was foretold by a prophecy.
The Oracles declared that one would arrive to awaken the Z’raschein. It was determined that the one to arrive would fulfill the prophecy; “When moon embraces sun it emits new light.”
She has arrived on Nabalar and has awakened the planet’s life force in the form of the prince.
Now that Ariella has awakened Nabalar’s life force, the prince can now fulfill his duty in bringing the royal heir. An heir would mean the fertility of the planet has been restored and his people would be equipped to replenish the planet with offspring.
However, this will thwart the plan of the evil Overlord Premier known as Heilfelst.  He needs to keep the galaxy under subjection until he finds the one true source of Uvieroein power, the Blaerix.
Once he finds this, he will be the most powerful ruler in the universe.
In the meantime, he has exiled or imprisoned many of the princes and executed the remaining kings. With 13 planets in the galaxy, he has kept a tight leash on all who remain. Keeping the brothers Mirsux and Julkaz apart has been his mission. Now a third threat has arrived and has begun to make trouble.
Ariella is to save Nabalar, at the chagrin of Heilfelst; however, if he is not careful, she may just save the entire galaxy from his evil plans.
He must be mindful of the warning the Oracles have given, “That which you so eagerly seek may be your ultimate debacle.”
13 Planets in one sector, 12 executed kings and 11 missing princes. What can Ariella do to save the galaxy of Uvieroein from complete destruction by the evil league of Overlords?

THE PUB: A Murder Mystery

There are no cell phones. There is no Internet. People send mail and packages via the post office. Miniskirts, platform shoes and wide ties are in style with men wearing their hair in long, curly perms.

Bosses get away with innuendos and groping and typing is something only women do.  People have two-martini lunches on the company dime at The Pub where murder is a cold breath away.
Welcome to the seventies.
Dick owns The Pub, a Florida seaside restaurant and nightclub with Ervin, his not-so-silent partner from Chicago. Things move fast when Bob manages the place, but they get bumpy when arguments erupt over cash flow problems. He hires Joe Mitchell, a perky young bank teller whose boring job at the male-run bank with a no room for advancement policy for the women has her ready for a change. She accepts the job as bookkeeper for The Pub where storm clouds start to gather quickly. When Bob disappears with a substantial amount of cash, the owners swoop in and the heat is on.
They bring in Jason Flint, a first class cock-of-the-walk chauvinist to manage the place. The rest of the touchy-feely male staff keeps Joe hopping between managing the books and staying out of arm’s length of George, the chef with a hands-on approach as far as the ladies are concerned and Chewy, the ex-heavyweight boxer who tends bar, with an eye on the new girl.
The nightclub brings in all those that prowl the darkness with Joe exposed to Dick and his graft, staff members who practice their petty theft schemes, a barking, Maalox drinking CPA, a womanizing guitar playing entertainer and then, premeditated murder. The smiling faces conceal dark agendas and the simple, orderly business of debits and credits vanishes from Joe’s life. She simmers in the pot, now brought to a boil, in the Florida sun and sin.
Fasten your seat-belts; you’re in for a fast-paced, sea spray in your face ride through the backwaters of deception and intrigue.

General Robert F. Hoke
Lee's Modest Warrior

Neglected by modern historians, Robert F. Hoke, from Lincolnton, N.C., was a towering figure in his time. Mustered into the South's service as a second lieutenant in April 1861, he was a major within five months, a lieutenant colonel within nine months, a colonel within sixteen months, a brigadier general within two years, and a major general within three years—becoming, at age twenty-six, the youngest Southern officer of that rank in the Civil War. His son, Dr. Michael Hoke, was to become a famed orthepedic surgeon, advisor to President FDR, and one of the founders of the charitable Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children.
