Nophoto-u-25x33 Bitter Sweet Secret Assignment I wrote this book for all general readers . It is about good times bad times .How we yet overcome all hardship and obstacle and made life worth living again. I think it worth reading . I think every body has some dark little secret in their life.and would not like to share it.

2081218 In today's world we measure our success by how much we have in the bank, our share portfolio and sometimes the level of academic attainment. People of the Niger Delta, (18th Century Nigeria), had a different outlook on life. How free they were to walk in their hometown/village was paramount.

Since Masters of the Confluence is all about freedom and liberty, I just thought I should illustrate (by means of photography) how the prevalent African Chiefs valued the lives of supposed dissidents.

Two guns = One boy/girl of approx 12 - 18 years old.
What crime did one commit to be a dissident? Some of you would like to know, I bet.

The mere disagreement with a political opinion was enough to get someone or his/her family in troubled waters (irony).

And for that, this is a picture of what the chief/ruler would get...
Flintlock {Picture: 18th century flintlock. Two guns, such as this one, was enough for the colonial overlords to demand for a human life}.

Of course the Africans lost both ways. First they lost their freedom, and when they resisted, were simply shot dead by the same guns, even by fellow Africans.

Success, therefore, was a matter of that ultimate ability to wangle one's way through the maze of political duplicity without coming out at the other side of the Atlantic.

1924971 I wrote The Prophecy of the Kings for the main reason that some years ago I read Lord of the Rings. Having thoroughly enjoyed that I was disappointed to find that there were very few other books in the vein. I wanted to read more of this genre and so wrote my own novel. It was going to be one book but as they say, the tale grew in the telling. There are som eother good authors in this genre now but Tolkien has yet to be bettered!!

1393308 I appreciate your comments Alice. Yes, I too can relate to military care for dependents. My husband is retired Coast Guard. I have to go 100 miles away to find ANY orthopedic doctor. There are some perks, but I'm not sure they outweigh the problems. Nanikj

Sounds like a great book! I have also been thru hard times but not as rough as you have. I have had asthma most all my life and pneumonia due to the asthma, then I caught CFIDS which is more common in asthmatics. Its an UNrecognized illness for the most part due to the CDC (Oslers Web). I also wanted to write an expose about our horrible military care for dependents here in this country but have never done it.
Glad the Lord sent your miracles. I got one too when I found an Environmental Illness Dr.

1393308 This book is a story of the miracles that God has done in my adult life. When I was 22, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and since then I have been diagnosed with seven more chronic illnesses. In 2004, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have been cancer free since then. I have gone through two failed marriages,and the heart of my third and final husband was MIRACULOUSLY changed by God! I want to show everyone that He is still in the miracle business, if we trust in Him. This is a journey of my faith for the last 33 years. I am a living breathing miracle! K.J. Jacobs
