Synopsis

In "The Blissylvania Post-Office," Marion Ames Taggart weaves a captivating narrative set in the fictional town of Blissylvania, artfully crafting a tale that explores the intricate interplay between community and communication in a rapidly changing America. Through a blend of whimsical charm and piercing social commentary, Taggart reveals the pivotal role of the post office as both a literal and metaphorical conduit of connection among the town's eclectic inhabitants. The novel's engaging prose and vivid characterizations reflect the early 20th-century literary style, reminiscent of other regionalist works that sought to capture the spirit of American life. Taggart, a notable figure in early 20th-century American literature, was deeply influenced by her experiences in small towns and her fascination with the evolving dynamics of communication in an increasingly industrialized society. Her own background as a writer and social observer allowed her to deftly explore themes of isolation, belonging, and progress. Taggart's keen insights into human nature and community life lend authenticity and depth to her characters, making their struggles and triumphs resonate with readers. This novel is highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring the nuances of American identity and the significance of communal relationships during a transformative period in history. "The Blissylvania Post-Office" not only entertains but also invites reflection on the role of communication in fostering connections, making it a timeless read for both literary scholars and casual readers alike.

    After many years of prayer and therapy I wish to use ancient philosophy to help others. We live at a time of tremendous change. The only constant in this life is change. This book is dedicated to the young the forgotten generation. Many may find this narrow door approach to life boring. Yet if you're looking for a Peace of Mind you must begin to unplug. I will not try to convert you 2 my way of thinking but possibly a healthier method of musing. After years of using over the counter drugs to become a great writer, I almost lost my mind and my soul. I only pray this helps those of you who are seeking a mental freedom 2 this current revolution surrounding the globe. Socrates lived and died speaking the truth. What is the truth? What is a lie? Why are the rich still well rich and you still poor? Luck, chance, birth, etc. Why does the Church Tithe? Why is the Bible altered by the Rich to serve their interests? Do you really believe God wants us all to be homeless, hungry, starving? Why does marriage not work? Why does owning beget more debt? Why are elections jokes to the common sense and dignity of man? Why is there still racism? Why do we have The NBA, The NFL, NHL and NASCAR? Combining research, history, philosophy, religion and practical knowledge, Doc Lies Cole attempts to bring Socrates back to life? He beckons us to take the most important journey, the one blocked. The path to power is not through the barrel of a gun (Mao), but in the halls of your mind, of your soul. Tears Run Unlimited To Hope To the reader, You and I are living a lie. People, places and things are nouns until we put a “Truth” in them. In this book, well it is a hope you may not become a fool anymore. One philosopher wrote “The Anti-Christ.” This is the “Anti-Truth.” For in order for us to rise out of poverty, we must think, act, and improvise from a “Top Down” approach. This work is inspired by “Thieves By Law;” a documentary celebrating lives of the underworld. To continue seeking the “Truth”

    For once, these men are the objects; I am the subject. Me, me, me. 
    Rosemary Mac Cabe was always a serial monogamist – never happier than when she was in a relationship or, at the very least, on the way to being in one. But in her desperate search for ‘the one’ – from first love to first lust, through a series of disappointments and the searing sting of heartbreak – she learned that finding love might mean losing herself along the way. 
    This Is Not About You is a life story in a series of love stories. About Henry, with the big nose and the lovely mum, with whom sex was like having a verruca frozen off in the doctor’s surgery: ‘uncomfortable, but I had entered into this willingly’. About Dan, with the goatee. About Luke, who gave her a split condom. About Frank, who was married… 
    But mostly, it’s about Rosemary, figuring out just how much she was willing to sacrifice for her happy ending.
