mysteriously disappeared from the remote farmhouse ten years earlier, Joanna moves in and makes the
sunroom into her office.
Joanna adopts a cat from the local
veterinarian, Sam Kelly, who tells her that Sabbath "had belonged to a witch." Immediately,
uinexplained events unfold: Joanna is locked overnight inside the storage shed, footprints
appear under the sun room windows, and Jason's dog, Mournful, is found poisoned.

her sister's fate, the activities of an itenerate evangelist, Brother Adam, and Joann's former
husband has arrived in town. *********
Title: Once a Brat Author Marilyn Celeste Morris ISBN# 1-59129-252-2 Price $19.95 Publisher and web address PublishAmerica.com Released Date 2002 Genre Memoir Also available at Amazon.comSynopsis As one of the first dependents to be sent overseas at the end of WWII, eight-year old Marilyn Celeste Morris received her very own orders from The War Department. From Seoul, Korea to Linz, Austria, she traversed the globe from 1938 to 1958 with her Army Officer father, mother and younger brothers. Between assignments in the primitive world of the Far East, to the sublime luxury of exploring casles in Bavaria, the family shuttled between the various Stateside Forts: Bragg, Hood and Sill. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes gut-wrenchingly sad, her narrative is part travelogue, part therapy session. She still cries at "Taps" and stands tall when the colors pass; yet she realizes she carries an odd mixture of pride and resentment over her nomadic way of life. Her conclusion, however, is that she wouldn't have had it any other way. Once a Brat, Always a Brat.

The author
of Diagnosis: Lupus: The Intimate Journal of a Lupus Patient
(PublishAmerica 2005) has an intimate knowledge of lupus, having struggled for three years
before a diagnosis in 1988. While journaling daily,
Marilyn writes of her chronic pain, frustration, anger and grief of her former self to her current
state of remission. Far from being a litany of complaints,
these pages reveal an unexpected spiritual growth and gratitude for life itself.
Marilyn reveals:
*
her struggles with anger and depression and their direct correlation
to dealing with an alphabet soup of social service agencies;
*
her loss
of self-esteem and its direct correlation to weight gain;
*
her frustration with insurance companies, physicians and employers;
*
her daily struggle to simply get out of bed and go to work, in many places where
employers and coworkers didn’t understand her disease;
*
and, ultimately, a spiritual crisis, which taught her
important life lessons.
