Do men who think like real men still exist in our society of today? Men of truth who are never absent from being of service to our masculine conscience. Men who can ask themselves hard questions and seek the answers that will be beneficial and of significant interest to our emotional consciousness. In our current dynamic social settings as men who ought to be responsible for our masculine spirituality are we ever sure about what to do with thought, love and our mentality in the midst of femininity, innocence and vulnerability? Our burgeoning masculine order is alerting us to note what we men are forgetting about our masculine essence. We men must investigate the reasons we could be forsaking our masculinity not by truth and lying to ourselves and others about the effects sincerity can have on our character, ego and pride. This written work is for us men who truly want to know what has lied to us in our past about our true masculinity and whether it is possible for a man to find pure masculinity. Finding our path to completing pure femininity for the sake of our innocent in our roles is given a serious address in this work for especially South African men who are about their masculine commitments.

Heya and welcome to my corner at eBookLingo! Feel free to drop a note, say hi and/or give constructive criticism. I am all ears. Not being a so-called professional author, my stories are what they are, coming straight from me to you. There might be some errors even though I have tried my darndest to iron them out. A dream is that one day being able to hire a professional editor who can take a look at my stories and give me more food for thoughts about them. But until then, they are my personal tales. Just how I wrote them. Intense, violent, graphic, explicit, sad, surprising. All that I want in a book that I read myself. Take a chance on a newbie, you might like what you read, or you might not. But you'll never know until you have :-)

The $1.99 Author is the best two bucks you could spend on a book writer you care about. The You & I Erotic Tales series was my first experiment with fictional books and it was well-received. Ms. Creant: The Wrong Doers! was my debut as a book author and it did very well. I wrote it for men but women reviewed it most. It is a book about life and relationships with a sprinkling of science so we might understand each other a little better.

I will be bringing all 19 books on here, it may take me a few days but I will work towards promoting on here again. I want to make sure I have the right book covers and such. Also I will be introducing my new content here as well once I get them on Wattpad. I have a book called Amber's Books that will be displayed here too in case anyone needs to keep track of ALL my books. All 19 books are available on Kindle.

I despair of ever getting it through anybody's head I am not interested in bookshops, I am interested in what's written in the books. I don't browse in bookshops, I browse in libraries, where you can take a book home and read it, and if you like it you go to a bookshop and buy it.

John McIlhone was born in New Zealand and upon graduating from Otago University lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for a period before settling in Australia in 1995. He obtained an MBA from Curtin University Graduate School of Business in 2007 and worked for many years in Economic Development, including a stint as an Advisor to the Australian Government during the Global Financial Crisis. A period of self-employment as a business owner confirms he doesn’t always get it right while this book is the debut performance. It is a distinct departure from the business focus of previous and current writing obligations and the first serious attempt at writing for fun. Thus, the lead motivators are personal enjoyment and entertainment for all, with mortality another more subtle, ongoing consideration and influence. Becoming a serious author may be the aim but it is pending, with the immediate career focus upon renewable and sustainable energy generation; the planet needs all the help it can get.

All along the broken and continually reconstructed path we are dragged toward death and end with nothing but a vacuole of succor and pretexts for joy surrounding us, swallowing up the small gap left by our oblivion.

I am a Navy Veteran of the Persian Gulf War. In the Navy, I was given the opportunity to view many parts of the world many of us never get to see. In the Spring of 1974, I went to France for six months because my father was in charge of a foreign exchange program in Bourges, France. When I returned to the United States, I did not know English. I have been writing short stories since November 2020. "A Collection of Short Stories or Tales" is my debut book , April 2021. "Creepy and Scary Tales: A Collection of Short Stories" was published October 4, 2021. Here is a small sample. “Hurry up,” I say. Brendan slams the door and says, “I’m com’n.” He is my best friend and my comrade for this evening’s adventure. He moved across the street when I was in kindergarten and we have been best friends ever since. He collects comic books like other kids collect baseball cards. His favorite is Wolverine. I asked once, “Why Wolverine?” He said, “Knives are awesome.” Everyone calls me Spidey. It is not because Spiderman is my favorite comic book. I love spiders. It is not like I am going to marry a tarantula. But they are the most mysterious creatures on Earth. Posters line my wall with creepy and hairy spiders. I have every spider book known to man. I even talked my grandmother into buying a Spider Encyclopedia set. Last Christmas, my dad bought me an aquarium for when mom finally lets me have a real spider in the house. My brother has a hamster so why can’t I have an arachnid? Did I say it? I love spiders. They are my thang. We get on our bikes and head toward the fair. This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to our small town. We have one of everything. One school, one road that leads in and out of town, one grocery store (Walmart), and now we have one fair. I do not care that it is going to be here for only the weekend. Halloween is tomorrow. How cool is that? “I’ll beat you to the fair, Brendan says. “In your dreams.” After about two blocks, we are out of breath. It is a good thing the fair is not too far. We will never make it. Jocks we are not. Spider nerd and Wolverine fan we are. The setting sun shimmers in our eyes as the faint music of the Merry-Go=Round echoes along the street. I look over at Brendan and say, “We are almost there.” He grins as we pedal harder. The cool breeze whistles in my ears like a nagging mosquito. A stranger appears out of nowhere. I slam on my brakes. Brendan swerves, hops on the grass and then skids. I stop inches from hitting an old woman. My heart skips a beat and I say, “Sorry.” Wow, I almost hit a Gypsy and the only thing that comes out of my mouth is “sorry.” I am a jerk. She peers at me and smiles showing her missing teeth. Creepy. A chill runs along my spine. “Do not go to the Spider House,” she says. I swerve around her and catch up to Brendan. “Weird, old, coot, let’s get out of here.” I say. Brendan nods. I glance back and the Gypsy is gone. She vanished as quickly as she appeared. Ten minutes later, we park our bikes at the school and walk over to the fair. The Ferris Wheel’s lights blink on and off. The Merry-Go-Round music echoes in the background. “Where do you want to go first?” I say. “You can’t go to the fair without riding the Ferris Wheel,” he says with a grin. “The Ferris Wheel is for kids.” “I’ll bet all the cool kids are riding the Ferris Wheel.” I shove him and say, “You are an idiot.” We cross through the fair and weave in and out of the crowd at a steady pace. Brendan yells, “There she blows,” as we approach the Ferris Wheel. He points to Scott Hazelton. “I told ya. All the cool kids ride the Ferris Wheel.” I glance at the top of the Ferris Wheel. Scott and a girl sitting next to him are laughing. “I did not know Scott had a sister?” “That’s Sharon Moran, you idiot.” He punches me in the arm. Scott Hazelton is the shortest kid in our fifth grade class. All the girls get gooey-eyed around him except for Sharon. She calls him names or trips him in class. Now, it makes sense.
