When Kelsey Harmon posted a tweet of her Papaw at a family barbecue, she had no idea that this innocent message, meant to poke fun at her cousins, would start a wave of emotion to be felt around the world. Kenny Harmon, who was now labeled Sad Papaw, quickly gained thousands of followers who felt a twinge of pain from seeing his image in Kelsey’s tweet. His new friends and “adopted grandchildren” recognized a need in their own lives to reconnect with their grandparents, and indeed they did. The reaction from the tweet started a movement reminding people to hold our loved ones close and remember to make time for one another. This was a lesson that Kenny learned from his own grandparents. In the pages of the Sad Papaw: The Early Years, he shares his life experiences with readers. We travel back to the early days of Oklahoma and grown alongside Kenny and learn all about the man behind the tweet. www.sadpapawbooks.net

A nation divided is a nation in great jeopardy. When people are at odds, and a singular nation cannot bridge the yawning gap between those differing beliefs, everything is at stake. Freedom, survival, and democracy are placed at risk - and war is often a step away. The devastating civil war that raged in America from 1861 to 1865 is an iconic example of a nation torn apart by opposing views. Many consider this tumultuous war as a focal point of the entire American history - a defining event that shaped the future of the nation as we know it today. Undoubtedly, the American Civil War was bloody and devastating in many ways, and the whirlwind of death took with it many lives - both civilian and military. Arguably, the most important cause of this conflict was slavery, a burning topic in America of that era. At the eve of war, some four million people living in America were African-American slaves - a great percentage of the nation’s 32 million inhabitants at the time. This practice created great tensions between the opposing parts of America - the North and the South, with the former consisting of states opposed to slavery, and the latter being pro-slavery states. This, alongside several other key differences, quickly led to animosity, and eventually - war.
t’s Christmas time in New York City and the bottom of the ninth in Maximilian Clark II’s life.
His father, Max senior, just passed from cancer. Meanwhile, Max lost his job selling pizza during Knicks' games at Madison Square Garden and his fake watch collection he usually sells on the corner of Times Square was stolen from his beat up Chevy van later that same day.
Unable to make rent, his wife left him with their two kids after they were served an eviction notice to be out of their Harlem apartment in just two weeks.
Descended from a line of die-hard Yankees’ fans, Max realizes there is more to life than just baseball and needs money soon, but how? After attending a series of Get Rich Seminars and coming up empty, he wonders if he will ever get the score he needs to get out of his slump.
Can he save his life before the bottom of the ninth?
Find out in this short read by Duke Tate.
It’s October in the Florida keys, Fantasy Fest, the legendary Halloween carnival, is underway in Key West and Big John Hoover and his wife Angela have just moved to the artist enclave from Big Sur, California for John to pen a book.
John has traded his bad food addiction for a liberal island diet of Cuban coffee, rum and Cohiba Habanos cigars. Out of the blue, he gets attacked in his sleep by a shadow being and a ghost appears at their cottage, which sends John and Angela running to Miss Anne, the Voodoo Queen of Duval Street who gives them some poignant advice she sees in her cards.
No longer interested in John, Maggie May had a spiritual rebirth a few years back and now works at a psychic shop in Applebury, Vermont. She just so happens to fly down to Key West for a dose of sunshine, staying with her friend from Santa Monica High, Hank Judge, who is now a cop on the island.
Meanwhile, an old enemy of John's tries to send him to his grave and John must figure out how to protect himself before it's too late. Maggie and John run into each other by accident and everything is ghosts and phantoms for the group. Will they see the light before Halloween eve on the key that never sleeps?
Los Angeles. Fifteen-year-old Big John Hoover has strange tingly hands and an unstoppable appetite.
But when he learns his dream girl could never love a 258-pound teenager, he wanders into a psychic shop searching for the secret to her heart.
And though he’s skeptical when the mystical madam has him draw the fit body he desires, he’s stunned to wake the next day ripped and drop-dead handsome.
Despite his hunky new form snagging him high-paying modeling gigs and the most popular chick in school, he’s certain there must be more to life than being impossibly buff. And when the fortune teller returns to reveal why he feels so weird inside, he discovers he possesses a unique healing destiny that paints a deadly target on his back.
Can this remade beefcake survive unwanted lethal attention?

Selected by The Times Literary Supplement as a 2020 book of the year, The Alchemy of Architecture: Memories and Insights from Ken Tate by Ken and Duke Tate is celebrated architect Ken Tate’s creative memoir about his life.
Beginning with his days growing up in Columbus, Mississippi where he was surrounded by beautiful Greek Revival houses, the book journeys through Ken’s upbringing as a creative adolescent to his early days at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta where he started his architectural collegiate career. There Ken struggled to keep up with the hard-edged modernism being taught in school and longed to design beautiful houses with soul. His quest led him on to Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, where he found what he was looking for in two creative professors, Jim Jones and Lewis Lanter, who mentored him. That tutelage led him to write his architectural thesis Architecture in Search of a Soul. Following graduation from Auburn, Ken journeyed to work for eccentric talent Bruce Goff in Texas and afterwards for Sambo Mockbee in Jackson, Mississippi. He established his own firm, Ken Tate Architect, in 1984 in Jackson, Mississippi, which began a lifelong career of designing houses in an alchemical way where an inner essence was breathed into them. Full of rich detail and texture, the book follows Ken’s 35-year career from Jackson to New Orleans and on to Palm Beach where the firm has opened their second office.
Covering his approach to design, how architecture relates to cinema and photography, advice, reflections and even epiphanies, the book is a must read for any fan of the profession.
