Description

Is my book fiction or nonfiction? You'll be the judge of that. Here's the hitch to get you to buy my semi-autobiographical book. My book is in two parts. "Episode I," the fun game, contains short entertaining and serious stories and poems. Because of the controversial subject matter, the shortness of my book, and the little-known fact that I'm not famous you go through unique "Episode I" hunting for hidden movie and song titles. There are approximately 775 movie, television, and documentary programs. Then there are the 341 songs, and an added "downright fun," to the game, by using 31 clues you go through finding an Oscar nominated actor for the Sherlock in all of us. Play on your smartphone, computer, or tablet at airports, coffee houses, appointments, and basically anywhere you have to wait. Play with family and friends to see who can find the most titles. Who is the actor? You'd be surprised. A lot of fun for the trivia and entertainment sleuth. Are you entertainment savvy enough to play the game? Just to let you know titles, names, short phrases, expressions, and ideas are not protected by copyright laws. "Episode II," the second part, is the more serious part. "Communication in a non-confrontational manner promotes learning." This sentence is in my book. Communication, what is it? How can I get information to you in a non-confrontational manner that concern you and me? "Episode II," is a memoir containing journal entries, emails, and letters coping with a possible situation that could have ended in a mass shooting, the ups and downs of mental illness, postpartum depression, suicide, and my air traffic control experiences. All topics of conversation in today's society. My book is a collectible and the only one of its kind in the world. A little something extra-I have included some of my favorite easy recipes. Enjoy.

Names
In my book I have used some fun names or actor names. A word on actor and actress names some people looked like them. I’ve never met these famous people, nor will I force myself on them. I respect their privacy. None of them have been contacted to endorse my book.
Of course, I did use real names on quotations. In history Shakespeare was quoted. Too bad he didn’t make it in my book. Too confusing and I didn’t want to wear him out.
A word on the famous (and my favorite) actor I mention. I’ve never met or seen him in person. Most of the clues were obtained off the internet. My book is about me and not him. It’s my thoughts on certain subjects. Remember, all information can be found on the internet or by watching some of his movies. Nothing is new about him that fans can’t find in the privacy of their own homes. I’m not spreading rumors just listing facts.
Shawls
There are loving shawls wrapped around my heart for these charities. You choose your lacunas out of the charities that need the warmth of your love.
SHAWLS
S uicide Prevention: Been there, done that, but not again. It’s not the answer, colleagues.
H umane Society: Adopt there.
A lzheimer’s: Family member struggled.
W orld Hunger: Says it all.
L acunas: Any piece that fits the charity puzzle.
S chool Fund Razors: Due to budget cuts. You can understand why I used the homophone.
P.S. For the letter "L" I didn’t know what to use, so I opened my dictionary, and lo and behold , lacuna: blank space or missing part , was within three words of lacrosse .
Imagine that for a sports nut. HEART LACUNAS H ealth L ove E njoyed A t A t C ountries R ight U nites T ime N ations A t S alutations
Quotations
I use quotations in my book. Since I was unable to get permission for some of them, I will tell you about them and where they might be found. These are my vague versions, but you might get something else out of them. This one by Mahatma Gandhi is on truth , love and the messenger . It speaks of acceptance, or lack of it, when you deliver information in a certain manner (Thinkexist.com).

The Fun Part
Is my book fiction or nonfiction? You’ll be the judge of that. Here’s the hitch to get you to buy my semi-autobiographical book. Because of the controversial subject matter, the shortness of my book, and the little-known fact that I’m not famous, I’ve hidden three dedications for you to find. It’s like Star Wars . The movies four, five, and six came first. They are family and friends, Createspace, and everyone else.
The third dedication is to music. I love the sound of music, so you’ll find song titles in my book. There are approximately 341 songs. Most of the great artists are popular today. Songs were especially fun, because I was able to watch the videos and listen to the music at the same time.
The second dedication is to art. I love art. Everything is art in its own individual way. Under art you can find approximately 775 movie, television series, and documentary titles. Again, most of the actors and actresses are popular today, except for the obscure and foreign ones. Some of the titles are easy to recognize. If a sentence is confusing, offensive, or doesn’t read smoothly, it probably has a movie or song in it. Also, I’m no expert, and I don’t have a college degree. I just have certain thoughts on certain subjects just like everyone else today, so don’t take my book too seriously. It’s the game you want. (You know, I had this sentence in here before I thought of the "Episode II" part of my book, but I think you should take it somewhat seriously.)
I’m the ultimate fan. I’ve paid tribute to over 15 hundred artists in my book. They just don’t know it unless they read it. Oh, another thing this is for all you copyright funny people I can do this, because they are just everyday words that people use from a dictionary. They aren’t quotes. It’s a thought I’m putting in your head. My book makes you think about what people, media, and entertainment have to say about life. Anyway titles, names, short phrases, expressions, and ideas are not protected by copyright laws.
This is for all you die-hard fans , or true fans , so to speak. Because of a movie I loved, I was curious, like everyone else, about the actor who was in the movie. The movie was not the famous one he made. I thought, who is this guy ? So, I researched him from my home on the free internet and found out eight similarities in our lives. "Episode I" is dedicated to him because we have common beliefs in anti-war, preserving nature, and it’s downright fun. I admire his creativity. I’ve listed interests, facts about his life, and accomplishments. You can find 31 of his clues surrounded by asterisks throughout my book. When you figure out who he is (due to one obvious physical clue), continue your fun and research him to figure out how all the clues fit in. You’ll have to be familiar with three of his movies to fit in some of the clues. On IMDb.com, on the mini-biography page, you can put together 19 clues if you look hard. Also, you will find nine of his movies hidden in here, and one song. One of the movies he has a minor part. He’s had popular films and in one he was nominated for an Oscar.
Let’s play the game of hide-and-seek by finding Blue Eyes, art, and music through the internet. My book is an internet crossword puzzle for your entertainment. Is there another Sherlock Holmes out there?
What a concept! My book is the cutting-edge and innovative phenomenon of suggested camouflage, so have fun with your futuresport. I’m going to put on my poker face and plead the fifth , so to speak. It’s surprising how so many movies and songs are in everyday speech. I’m just bringing it to your attention in the form of a book. This technique is stepping outside of the box with writing.
Hopefully, I didn’t go so overboard on my game that you won’t be able to complete it. I guess this is a dare, in a way. You are purchasing, a valuable collectible with my book, because it’s the only kind in the world. Act quickly, because I think I will only have my book out for about ten years. I will be publishing the cheats around then.
My fellow Americans, every word counts, and there are cheats in the back of "Episode I." Look at my book from start to finish computer wizards. I used YouTube, IMDb, and Netflix for my research, so don’t you forget about me in all this. You have to admit this is a pretty good brainteaser book. Also, you can play for free on the first trial month on Netflix. My book is days of fun or probably weeks.
P.S. You can find the creativity of: Nicole Kidman, Jason Statham, Sandra Bullock, Jack Nicholson, Aidan Quinn, U2, Coldplay, Julie Andrews, Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes, Ryan O’ Neal, Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand, Brad Paisley, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Taylor Swift, and the list goes on and on.
Nothing but the Truth
I want to make a memory not to be forgotten in my research for "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" (Declaration of Independence), so for the paparazzi I’m throwing the truth write out the window of my life. Did you catch the homophone?
1. Family: I have a traditional family. I hope to be the breadwinner with my book of stories, so my husband will get to golf, attend school, cook, and take care of our priceless children. He is a smart man. Turnabout is fair play. Talking about trying your patience with all four activities; therefore, thank you, challenges, for coming to me in the form of children to make the changes in my life. Maybe in the future our family will be able to travel to an island in the sun. Hawaii would be nice, or we could buy the lake house in Georgia. If I can’t have the lake house, a month by the lake would be nice. We could even buy a houseboat.
