Musical Road Kills/ And other tales. Some with morals, some without. by Nevard Tellalian
This is a book that is full of stories telling what living the career of a musician is like. The stories are from the life of the Author, who was a full time working Musician for many years. Many of the stories are funny, and entertaining, some show the “not so pretty” side of that life and attempts to tell those who WANT that life, what they can expect, especially if they are constantly on the road. The book also discusses what may be GOOD reasons for getting into this sort of life…and a number of reasons why the life of a musician should most likely not be attempted by some. The Author will tell the reader exactly what SHOULD be the impetus for becoming a musician, and what should NOT be what pushes someone in that direction. She also describes the family she grew up with, what life was like being with her fairly unusual parents, and how this environment served to ready her for a life that was at times unruly, full of uncertainties , usually called for putting on a brave face no matter what occurred, and to call forward an ability to march ahead with a never-ending sense of adventure, wonder and the always joyful willingness to learn from those who had come before. This Author truly believes …one should also be willing to share some kinds of learning with others who would benefit. To this end, this book will have ALL its proceeds donated to two Cancer Research Foundations, which are donor based, and making a difference to thousands and thousands of souls in need of this sort of help. This will be donated to honor the Author’s two loved ones, who made a real difference in her life, who both left this earth after having suffered horribly from two different Cancers. She genuinely hopes they did not die…only to end up being of no help to others who are hit with these horrors. It is NOT what they would have wanted. Neither of them. They would both, WANT to help end the suffering. She promised them, that she WOULD help. No one but his family, and the people of his hometown will know who Jeremy John Dennis was, but to this Author, it is unfortunate that many will know exactly who Jeff Ross Hyman..aka Joey Ramone was. His name was NOT used when this book was written in 2009…and she feels rather reticent about naming him now….but understands, his name will essentially be of significant help, and he’d be MORE than proud of that…even though he was quite secretive about their relationship during the years they were seeing each other.

Dethroned by Branka Cubrilo
When Gregor Truba, the God of eighties Rock, exchanged his guitar in the nineties for a machine gun, he couldn’t know he was going to be dethroned not only from the centre stage which he dominated for a decade, but from his own soul as he set off on a bloody rampage with his elite troupe of Brothers in Arms. He loved a young gifted poetess Pia, the great-grandniece of Nikola Tesla, who wasn’t able to return Gregor’s love, for she was dethroned from love after witnessing the most shattering scene possibly staged by her father. Would she ever be able to find love on her mysterious journey from Amsterdam to London, Sydney to Japan? How many dark secrets did the Catholic Priest, Friar Marag, keep under his tightly-lipped smile, whilst purposely manipulating the faithful, shaping and sculpting their minds and realities as if he were a co-creator working in alliance with the Devil himself to generate chaos and leave his personal stamp on the existence and history of his country? Was he dethroned from humanity for his numerous and well-planned misdeeds? Was Veronika Truba dethroned from her original self when she changed her name to Nikki Barlow upon her arrival to London, where she formed an unusual friendship with a flamboyant man and the commitment-phobe Dean Bloxham? “And where do I go to be myself again?” The question no one could answer at that time, a time when everyone lost, everyone was dethroned and everything was meant to be broken.

Swinging Bridge by Debra Shiveley Welch
Vin
I want to encompass all the knowledge I can in my brief span.
Toby
What’s span, Vin?
Judy
It’s a bridge.
Mrs. Miniver 1942 William Wylar Director
Life reminds me of a swinging bridge. We begin on firm ground, and as our life progresses, we experience the sometimes thrilling, sometimes terrifying and sometimes tranquil passage to the other side – our future.
As we traverse the fragile path that is our own, personal swinging bridge, we find that some of the boards along our journey are strong and firm, while others are weak and fragile; still others may be broken or even missing.
The ropes that we grasp to steady our passage are sometimes strong, and at other times they are frayed, causing us to be more cautious in our journey and at times to walk alone.
On bright, sunny days, the journey is pleasant as we revel in the surrounding beauty in which our bridge is set, while on stormy days, the boards can be wet and slippery and our path precarious as the bridge swings to and fro, seeming to want to throw us from its fragile deck to raging waters and rocky cliffs below. We hang on with all of our might to the ropes and cables which suspend our bridge, and strive to keep our footing and reach our destination: the end of the bridge, a beacon which calls us forward to safety.
This is the story of my swinging bridge, summed up in a collection of poems, essays, writing exercises some of you may recognize, short stories and excerpts from my memoir Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher. Some have been fictionalized, but are taken from actual events of my life as I walk to the end of the bridge – to my destiny.
Lila Pilamaya – with many thanks.
