The re-release of two new books of poetry for your Kindle:

Description:

"California Blooms, Blossoms, and Harvest Delights: Golden Vignettes From Big Sur, Pacific Coast Highway, California Scenic Highway 1 to Yosemite and Highway 99" is a book of poetry that focuses on the diversity of the people, the beauty of the land, bounty of agricultural products, entertainment industry, Pacific Coast beaches, and natural infrastructures and resources such as Big Sur, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Scenic Highway 1, San Francisco Bridge etc. These poems compel you to meditate on all the common things that tend to show our interdependence and sameness. Poems such as 'Abrahamic Promise,' 'Bridges of California,' 'Autumn's Bare Limbs,' 'Cry Over Manzanar,' 'Pastoral Delights,' 'Freeway and Highway Crosses,' 'Harvesting Delights and Fall Transition,' 'Open Range...,' 'Roosting Marvels, Roosting Headache,' 'Tamales for the Holidays' are among those that will strike a personal chord with most of you.

You can also purchase this ebook at Amazon.com. Download it to your kindle or your computer!

This book is an eclectic collection of poems and short essays on California's people and landscape, wine, beach and car culture. Wordsworth summarizes my poetic affinity, "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings; it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility." California Blooms, Blossoms, and Harvest Delights deals with this expansive, rich and fertile landscape in a way that readers will quickly recognize the important landmarks, features and attributes of the Golden state. It pinpoints areas of appreciation and highlights important cultural contributions and activities of the various ethnic and minority groups forming this new frontier, Central California. "Our hills and farmland are blooming with new houses and commercial buildings bordering fields of grazing cows." This is an uplifting and thought-provoking work.

This book was previously released in 2003 with these cover pictures. Familiarize yourself with the title of the book!

Description:

The Long Lost Garden of Eden is a tribute to the fruit growers of the Central Valley of California and all other agriculture-derived industries. Mr. Charles remains true to his upbringing deeply rooted in agribusiness. This book is the result of his keen observations and 12-year research into what makes the San Joaquin Valley one of the most fertile lands in the country. His poems will give you a glimpse of the Central Valley's diversity. His research has culminated into the realization that the Central Valley of California, locked between Southern and Northern California, is the fruit basket of the world. This collection will engage your mind and soul. It will provoke deep reflection that will lead to enlightenment, positive attitude and spiritual renewal. The themes of these poems are universal. Artistic appreciation, hope, beauty, love, loss, hard work, self-improvement, despair, migration, and drought are all themes anybody can relate to, irrelevant of their origins and taste.

Author's Notes: Mr. Charles is the sole author of "The Long Lost Garden of Eden."He knows nothing about this guy named 'Brendan Conlee' who has published the book as a paperback on many online sites including ebay.com, amazon.com, abebooks.com, bookfinder.com, shopping.com, barnesandnoble.com, allbookstores.com, dealtime.com, abebooks.co.uk, chegg.com, bestsellingbooks.biz, bookbyte.com, swap.com, tower.com, biggerbooks.com. If and when you buy a copy of this book published by or associated with 'Brendan Conlee,' you are just supporting a plagiarist. Mr. Charles has not received a response from the previous publisher, PublishAmerica.com, which certifies that the book has been out of print since December 27, 2009 due to the expiration of the contract. Despite this aggressive marketing of the book published on all the above sites, Mr. Charles has not received any royalties. It is fair to suggest that 'Brendan Conlee' who claims to be a co-author of "The Long Lost Garden of Eden" has been receiving all the royalties. So stop buying the book if it is associated with him. Return the copies you had already bought. This way, you will help Mr. Charles, the true author of the book. Help stop plagiarism!!!!!Please help correct a major wrong!!!

(While cooking and sharing Haitian foods with my college roommates from Central America and South America, I learned many things. I made a few discoveries. When we compared our foodstuffs, we found out they are just the same things but they come with different names)

For example: Start with these two ingredients, green plantains, not the bananas we eat!


Vocabulary - Vocabulaire - Mo Nouvo (New words)

Bannann Peze - Haitian twice-fried green plantains (Use the green plantains to make bannann peze, not the bananas)
Bananes Pesées (French)

Lwildoliv / Lwil doliv - Olive oil (use it to fry the smashed plantain...add a little bit of salt)


Ripe Banana and Plantains:

Fig (ripe banana) ak Bannann (green plantains)

My Central American, Peruvian, Venezuelan College mates helped me get this information:
Tostones is bannann peze. It is a snack or side dish in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic.

Patacones is bannann peze in some Central American countries. My Venezuelan friend told me it is known as Patacones there.
Notes: You will need a tostonera to flatten the plantains before their second frying. According to my Dominican friend, any flat surface, a glass or a small plate will do too. I have even seen her using a bowl to flatten the plantain chunks.

"1802-1803: Pauline Bonaparte’s St Domingue Stay, Parisian High Society and Voodoo Exploits (A Short Historical Novel by Kevin Levin)". Fire! Fire Everywhere in St. Domingue! Married to Napoleon Bonaparte's right-hand man, General Leclerc, Pauline did not have much of a choice other than to board the ship that would seal her fate at St Domingue. Josephine de Bauharnais, her sister-in-law, won that round.

Having been combat-hardened by serving at one time or another under the flags of the Spanish and English forces battling the French for the control of the richest colony in the world, the few black rebel leaders (General Maurepas, Henri Christophe, Alexandre Petion, Capois La Mort, Biassou, Jean Francois, Dessalines, etc) quickly realized that they had to enter the phase of a total war - total change from the bottom up or a revolution.

On that cauldron that was St. Domingue (currently Haiti), the most beautiful woman of Europe had to devise ways to occupy herself. Pauline set out to conquer the men or soldiers who were fighting in her husband's army. She joined the high Parisian society in order to throw lavish parties in Le Cap and Port-au-Prince. But when she caught something and got sick, she let her friends introduce her to a slave voodoo priest and Voodoo priestess who came to perform an exorcism on her body. She confessed that she secretly loved some of the black generals, Toussaint and others, for their courage and determination.

Suspicious of his wife's dangerous liaisons and feelings for Toussaint L'Ouverture, Governor-General Leclerc invited him to dinner where the black general and his men were ambushed. Embarking the ship that would take him away, Toussaint L’Ouverture, the First of the Blacks, proclaimed, “In capturing me, you have only cut down the trunk of the tree of Black people’s freedom. It will spring up again by the roots because they are deep and numerous..”. The Black rebel leaders had to act upon the prophecy of Toussaint who was ambushed, summarily judged, condemned at a Fort-de-Joux tribunal and subsequently sent to the cold mountain of France to die. In his last days, he only had the loyalty of his servant who had been with him along. He made sure to hold his head and ease the passing of that great man, lover of freedom and equality, and a formidable avenger of the New World.

"Nous sommes tous les enfants de la Liberte," Said Jean-Jacques Dessalines who was at one time or another an English, Spanish, and French citizen before becoming a Haitian after freeing and renaming St. Domingue.
