I was born and raised in Oakland, CA and attended Oakland Public Schools, K-12. Oakland life is a complex movie- full of depth and scenes that are high and low, ever evolving and impactful to all who witness the plot unfold again and again. For many of us, we live in Oakland but at the same time we are surviving Oakland. Our most powerful weapons are not guns or basketballs. No. Our most powerful weapon is our voice. Our leaping, twirling, voices of maniacal poise. A collective voice that over and over again rings undeniable and raw, truthful and compas-sionate. Reading through these pages I felt a sense of real pride and renewed hope. For these young people are a continuum of a great natural force in Oakland and an example to the peers who share common narratives around the world.

This book depicts the painful psalms of children in a Society gone astray. These are our children and they will construct the world of tomorrow. If that future world is not to our liking and alien to us, it is what we deserve unless we take action to change what is happening around us. This book ‘Write to Live’ exposes us to what some children endure as a ‘rite of life.’

Dan Emmett was just eight years old when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The events surrounding the president’s death shaped the course of young Emmett’s life as he set a goal of becoming a US Secret Service agent—one of a special group of people willing to trade their lives for that of the president, if necessary.

Within Arm’s Length narrates the story of Emmett’s journey in this coveted job—from the application process to his retirement as assistant to the special agent in charge on the elite Presidential Protective Division (PPD). Here he discusses some of his more high-profile assignments in his twenty-one years of service, including the PPD and the Counter Assault Team where he provided arm’s length protection worldwide for Presidents George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and George W. Bush.

This memoir describes the professional challenges faced by Secret Service agents as well as the physical and emotional toll that can be inflicted on both agents and their families. Within Arm’s Length also shares firsthand details about the duties and challenges of conducting presidential advances, dealing with the media, driving the president in a bullet-proof limousine, running alongside him through the streets of Washington, and flying with him on Air Force One.

With fascinating anecdotes, Emmett weaves keen insight into the unique culture and history of the Secret Service.

BONKERS consists of the memories that one Bari Ghabaei has for a period of his mischievous young adult life when he makes wrong decisions, and is consequentially labeled mentally imbalanced and even potentially dangerous by misdiagnosing doctors and court officials who assign him to seek mandated professional help, and take medications against his freedom and free will. After many jail and institution overnight stays, Bari acquiesces with what the law requires, yet refuses to accept in his soul this stamped label upon his forehead and refuses to accept what the flawed society wishes to construct for his future. Throughout BONKERS, Bari strives to clean up his past acts, make amends, and play by the rules of society, but sadly the rules of society neglects to rectify his true dilemmas: to name a few: the painful bereaving of his passed supportive English teacher, idol, and mentor, Mr. Moneyworth (whose harrowing spirit still drifts in his mind); the murder of his dearly beloved cousin, Mark, in a gang-related confrontation; the very few and unsupportive “friends” of his who comically berate him for not being sexually and socially active; a temperamental father who constantly dials 9-1-1 in order to have him be dragged away from home and into foreign facilities; a mother who abandons him frequently when he needs her most; an aloof psychologist, Dr. Pacman, who he sees regularly for help but cannot connect with; an evil Uncle who wishes upon Bari’s failure, and much, much more. Though Bari does feel utter psychosis creeping on his tail, he refuses to give into the temptation of letting go into 'insanity,' and simply calls his situation and himself as being "Bonkers." Told in a very funny, unique, and catchy voice, Bari’s story will have you laughing and wailing with tears streaming down your cheeks, making you wish to reach into the memoir and embrace him.

The fast pace of the technological development during the past about two decades, particularly in television and information technology, has put up such an enormous and sudden pressure on the human mind that the man of today has difficulty bearing it. Quest for Peace examines the gap between the reality and the illusions of life that is widening every day. Man’s desire for material things has increased to the extent that we are not able to make the right choices and maintain the correct balance in our lives.

Science has delivered many wonderful things to us, but we have lost the peace and calm of a less harried life. We are just running without knowing what exactly we need—and what we don’t need. The moral values that might help to balance the situation seem to have taken a back seat to the fast pace of today’s world. In his poetry collection, Quest for Peace, author Amrik Binapal chronicles his innermost thoughts based upon his life experiences with the hope that it might ease the pressure of everyday life for everyone.
