Book Description

Since 1227, finding the Tomb of Genghis Khan has been the obsession of tyrants, adventurers and treasure hunters.
It is a Genghis Khan fact that, looking at a map today, he had conquered a geographic area which would include 30 countries and 3+ billion people.
The legend says that, in order to keep his tomb’s location secret, Genghis Khan slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of his captives after they had been forced to dig his burial site. He had amassed untold wealth with enormous quantities of jewels, gold and silver from his conquests that are believed to be buried with him.
So why hasn’t his crypt been found in almost eight hundred years?
In The Guardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb, the Great Conqueror extracts a sacred oath from a special advisor. It binds both this trusted counselor and his family forever to protect the tomb and the most immense treasure ever known.
Now, in a remote Asian river valley, a beautiful English scientist’s chance discovery of an ancient artifact tied directly to Genghis Khan ignites a furious race among China, Russia and the United States to find that crypt. The stakes are huge, putting the young woman along with her American sponsor at the center of the confrontation.
Can The Guardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb manage to keep the gravesite safe and his beloved country, a fledgling democracy, from being overrun? Or will war break out between the world’s Superpowers? Michael B. Hickland’s e-novel is a fast paced historical fiction thriller full of turns and twists.

Know one is perfect, but let us all join together to create a cleaner  world.  The earth is important . What can we do to keep our earth clean ?  Here is a poem written by a eight  year old student for earth day.

Don’t Litter
By Veronica ~ 8 years old


We all litter every day in different ways.
If we keep littering our earth will be a big trash bag.
Let’s put out a call.
Most people don’t care.
My class would not dare !
Once my class put up a sign.
It said, “Please don’t litter.  The Earth is mine.”.
Our landfills are overflowing.
Every day they are growing.
We see it making all kinds of motions.
We can try to stop this now, but how  ?

Put your trash in the can !

Her best friend Sean is the only man that ever treated her right, but she hasn’t seen him since they were children, and right now she just needs a way to look like she’s dating without engaging her heart. So she finds Club Blue. It’s the perfect plan and the perfect club, until one of the men is dark, handsome, and oddly familiar.If there was an award for being in the friend box, Sean would be the winner- thirteen years running. But he’s no longer the little boy that Nicole used to rescue from playground bullies. He’s tall, strong, and ready to do whatever it takes to protect his best friend from her own bad taste in men. Even if it means swapping out his black belt in Tae Kwon Do for something Armani. Too bad he’s better at fighting than flirting, because it’s only a matter of time before Nicole figures out who the grumpy new escort at Club Blue really is, and ejects him from her life.

{January 11, 2013}   Poetry Pick For The WEEK ( 81 ) !

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I‘ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
