PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME SOLICITING YOUR APP/SERVICE. Where do young writers get their ideas? In this ongoing memoir project, the author will tell you. Do you know about the never-ending love story that started in middle school? Or the time she committed her first crime (accidentally stealing a bagel)? What about the great escape from girls who hold her friends hostage at boarding school? Life is full of stories waiting to be told. In the tradition of "truth is stranger than fiction," many of these moments inspired future stories--and poems-- of their own. Complete with story snippets from childhood and from current works-in-progress, "Once Upon a Time" will inspire writers of all kinds to tell their own stories and let their lives speak.

On March 18th, 2017, a twenty-three year old private pilot named Juliett Novembah crashed a plane into a field eight miles outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The cause was quickly ruled as pilot suicide. It's been three years since her death, and though no one will ever truly know her motivations entirely, we do have a rare, inside look to her thoughts shortly before she passed. A notebook she wrote, self-titled " The Last Will and Testament of Juliett Novembah", was found amongst her personal effects shortly after her death. It is posted here at the request of her Mother and Father, to raise awareness for those struggling with suicidal thoughts, and to prove that we don't really know people as well as we believe.

A haunted hotel in a ghost town, what could be more...cliché? How about a hotel that doesn't have a ghost, but wants to score one? After all, ghosts put hotels ON THE MAP, especially when this hotel was once a hospital for miners. And we all know that miners die grisly, unfortunate deaths. Why this hospital-turned-hotel is not haunted is a mystery no one can solve. The lack of ghosts, of creepy lore, of midnight bouts of things being flung around and scaring people silly (who love it, really they do) is downright inconvenient. It's bad for business, maybe even bad for Jerome. After all, the West's biggest ghost town has a reputation to maintain. Or create. The Jerome Hotel is not haunted. Yet. Now someone has a plan to change all that.

Naomi is trapped in the bottom of a fishbowl, along with a stuffed cat, someone she rudely calls Starfish-boy, and a creepy other-than-nothing that makes her want to Scream. This fantasy-sci-why is a locked room mystery where the author (that would be me) forgot to include the key. Jump in and swim with me while I figure this thing out.

This is an episodic memoir of my life, but it is not about me so much as it is my way of honoring God and family. Those colorful people who are weaved in and out of ones life and make it special. It's about love and fight and yes, miracles. Things without which no life can be lived richly. And this is a life lived richly surrounded by some truly spirited characters, where action replaced complaining and laughter took the place of sadness, and daring replaced playing it safe).

I hope to reach out as a friend who has been there and offer help in your battle to understand and beat cancer. I have done it, It is possible! Number three. To explain how I overcame stage 4-lung cancer and survived when the odds were that it would come back. Overcame Advanced, Crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis in eight joints, not only survived, but thrived. Number four. To convey to you my personal story in hopes that the actions I took, might also help you.
