"Ghosts of Presidents Past - A Reckoning" serves as a metaphor for the chaos in American politics from 2015 -2020. The work combines historical fiction with political parody and humor.

"Ghosts of Presidents Past - A Reckoning" serves as a metaphor for the chaos in American politics from 2015 -2020. The work combines historical fiction with political parody and humor. Normally we don't see ghosts and phantoms except on Halloween when trick-or-treaters knock on front doors. If Halloween in government existed, how might twenty-three former US presidents, beginning with George Washington, respond to the siren call to visit a president who ignores the Constitution and suppresses and manipulates information for political gain? What if that president disrespected his obligations to the Nation's revered institutions and the American public? What if he lacked moral fiber and used the office for personal gain? What if he had attained the highest office in the land through unscrupulous means? What if his ego drove him to manipulate the truth to enhance his image? What if he bullied his opponents and called them sophomoric names? What if he alienated friends and stalwart allies? What if that president disrespected his obligations to the Nation's revered institutions and the American public? What if he lacked moral fiber and used the office for personal gain? What if he had attained the highest office in the land through unscrupulous means? What if his ego drove him to manipulate the truth to enhance his image? What if he bullied his opponents and called them sophomoric names? What if he alienated friends and stalwart allies? In "Ghosts of Presidents Past," President Daniel Hands violates the public trust. He desecrates the Oval Office so egregiously that past occupants return to confront him. What could they say to POTUS that might reform him?

"Ghosts of Presidents Past - A Reckoning" encapsulates many of the more shocking public utterances and events over the last several years where each new one often eclipses its predecessor. "Ghosts" will entertain readers who enjoy presidential history. The visiting presidents bring some surprises and share some little known or forgotten moments in their lives. The book will speak primarily to moderate Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" provided the inspiration for this book.

James Mikel Wilson resides in Houston, Texas. Mr. Froggy's dilemma is his third book. He has also posted many blogs on his author website: www.jamesmikelwilson.com He can also be found on Instagram as @jamesmikelwilson The children in his life, both in his own family and families of friends and neighbors, inspired this true story about Mr. Froggy's dilemma. It started out as a long adventure letter to his grandchildren about a large, rare bullfrog that the author's dog eagerly chased into the swimming pool. The adventure morphed into a book as a result of encouragement from friends and family. As the young reader will discover, there are multiple ""dilemmas"" in the story. The explicit ones range from how will the frog escape the pool? Once it escapes, where does it go? What incentive does the frog need to pursue a new life and adventure? And, then there is the dilemma of climate change. Some implicit dilemmas that might surface for discussion with a child include acceptance, discrimination over physical differences, bullying, fear of change, and taking chances. The book introduces the young reader to a few scientific terms, asks the child to do a little research, and engages the child in coming up with solutions. These solutions even introduce the concepts of chapter titles. Why they are important. And, how they help a child organize and write her or his own stories. The book also deliberately challenges and broadens their vocabulary. Twelve early readers from Toronto, Boston, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Miami, St. Louis, Houston, The Woodlands, San Diego, and San Francisco endorsed the book.
