  • East German Girl: Escape from East to West

    S. Jackson

    Paperback (iUniverse Publishing, Sept. 6, 2011)
    War memories do not have an age requirement. They force you to mature and give you no choice but to cope with the realities of the world. In this memoir, author Sigrid Jackson tells what it was like being a child of war in East Germany before and after World War II. In East German Girl, Jackson describes what it was like to live through the bombing raids, food shortages, diphtheria, communism, and being forced to leave her home with her mother and brother to be relocated to a rural farm. Using personal anecdotes to illustrate how God has worked in her life, Jackson demonstrates the courage that was necessary to escape East Germany to freedom in the west when she was just twelve years old. From an alcoholic, absentee father to an unsuspecting future husband, life continuously threw her curveballs, but East German Girl narrates an inspirational story of war, communism, family betrayal, and finally resilience.

  • Raising Demons

    Jackson

    Paperback (Academy Chicago Publishers, Oct. 1, 1994)
    In these new domestic reminiscences, Shirley Jackson carries on her tale of dubious parental equilibrium in the face of four children, assorted dogs and cats, and the uncounted heaps of small intrusive possessions which pile up in corners everywhere.Because of the increasing pressure of possessions, animals, and children, a bigger house is necessary to hold everything. The unending bewilderment of moving gives way to the healthy challenges of small repairs, new roofs, and bookcases, and the heady enthusiasms for horses, Little League, trumpet playing and magic.Shirley Jackson uses her great talent to picture the rich and varied day-to-day living of an unusual but not really so different American family.
  • The Little Big Bang Book: Based on a true story.

    Billy Jackson

    language (, April 17, 2015)
    introduction to the theory of the Big Bang for children (and adults new to the subject). Colourful pictures and a fun read to inspire children about the creation of life as we know it. There are popups throughout the entirety of the book (for Kindle Fire) crammed with further information for older children and adults to inform or help tell this amazing story. Some concepts are obviously difficult to understand even for adults, but I believe it is important to implant the seed of knowledge, which this book aims to deliver in a fun way. Please leave feedback as I would like to build on user experience.
  • Before You Leave for The Big Bad World: A Guidebook to Help You Navigate to Happiness, Success & Longevity

    Billy Jackson

    eBook (New Buffalo Nickel Publishing, Sept. 28, 2017)
    This is a 130-page informative, inspirational, and entertaining Leaving Home Guidebook for young adults leaving home for the First Time to College, the Military, an away job, or just getting their own place. Written by an Iraq War Veteran and Helicopter Pilot that developed an interest in sociology, statistics and their application to happiness, success, and longevity. A perfect gift for going away.What's in this Book is most of the critical stuff a parent would want their kids to know before Leaving Home with true stories and interesting facts about a range of topics in life.I started this book as a reference for my kids before they leave out the door for college or elsewhere. I wanted to let them know what Dad and Mom thought about keeping a moderate perspective and avoiding conflict. I also wanted to input information that could give them a better shot at living the happiest, most successful, and longest lives they could. Like many parents I have spoken to, I did not want to have regrets on something I forgot to tell my child that could have helped him or her later on. So, on a range of issues from modern science, sociology, politics, religion, relationships, and life, I laid it out there. This book is for folks who see themselves as in the middle, the ones that don’t tend to take extreme positions; but rather, want to try and understand the opportunities and challenges ahead in the 21st Century. My hope is that it can help young adults do a lot better in life than they would have if they would not have gotten to read it. Many thanks to those who gave me the support to get this book written and distributed to those who need it.Billy is an Iraq War Veteran with over eight years in the Marine Corps from 2001 to 2009. He served in two deployments to the Middle East in 2005 and 2007 as a CH-46E helicopter pilot. He received Norwich University’s William D. Hassett Prize in Political Science as a senior in college in 2000. His military awards include the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Air Medal-Strike (4 Awarded), Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary medal (Kuwait), Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (2 Awarded), Iraq Campaign Medal(with one Bronze Service Star), the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and a Boeing Rescue Citation for the evacuation of civilian casualties in Iraq in 2005. He has a BA in Political Science from Norwich University (2001) and a Masters in Business Administration from University of Wisconsin-Consortium (2013). Billy has also worked in manufacturing for 5 years serving as a Quality Supervisor, Quality Engineer, Six Sigma Black Belt, and Quality Manager. He has a number of certifications from Villanova University in Six Sigma and Lean. His intrigue with the latest developments in International Affairs, Sociology and Cultural Conflict, Technology and Science, Health, and Mathematics is evident in this book. He hopes the book helps to serve as an objective fall back for young adults when making life decisions.

Soon all the squeak toys circle Jack and he must find a way out. When he sees an opening, a large duck blocks his path. Jack and the duck try to out bark and out quack each other. Pretty soon Jack sees an opening and makes a run for it. As he does, all the squeak toys vanish in a puff of smoke and a cow sneezing on him awakens Jack.
