Having come from the UK as a baby ,growing up in BC and Albeta. Attending school in New Westminster.Later living multiple times in Europe and Mexico learning the many different aspects of the culture.It has given me insight into the work I do today.
Purple Blues opens a window into the varieties of language used by a community, and offers a taste of the rich culture that identifies them as uniquely Caribbean. Tales of childhood discovery and
sibling rivalry evoke echoes of a cherished past and nostalgia for the ‘good old days’. The lighthearted playfulness that pervades the collection is punctuated by stark, often painful, reality which jolts the reader and triggers a visceral response, while the short-shorts command the readers’ attention for a moment and invite them to return to savour the experience, to laugh or cry again or simply to ponder.

At age 85 I had published my first “Tryist” as an author, “A Cruise To Die For.” I referred to it as my Mini “Novel” covering 50 pages that can be read going up the elevator, great during halftime and easily slid under the door of your neighbor when finished.
My current work “Voyage to Cryon”, deals with Cryonics, the preservation of humans in ice chambers with the
hope of resuscitation in the future. A scheduled Anti-Aging Cruise sponsored by the Cosmetic industry changes course to indoctrinate unsuspecting candidates to prospective reincarnation and lasting life.
My third book “Tunnel Vision” not yet published may be wallet size.
“What’s it like being 80” is somewhat biographical and a comical relief in accepting yourself being “old”
and left to the reader to edit his own experiences in this Octogenarian Society, with limited (By attrition) membership. I have recently combined six books, “A Cruise to Die For”, “Tunnel”, “Diner for Two”, “Walk with the Son”, “What’s it Like Being 80” and “Cryon” into One volume entitled, “The Books of Rathe.”
I have just completed “Hate in Those Eyes” and “Octogenarian Guide to \Survival.” (Unedited)
At age 89 I still have a lust for life or whatever is left of it, so I keep on writing until the Great Author Above Closes His book on me.
THIS IS A fictional story of a woman turning seventy, who decided to step outside of the box. Rebecca took a trip to Europe to celebrate her big birthday and have an adventure. Within twenty-four hours, her life changed forever. Her first thoughts were, “OMG, I should have worn Depends” when she saw the most gothic looking man walk pass her. The sins of our fathers sometimes play a big part in how our lives take shape.
Mikael’s past provides the adventure Rebecca set out to have while touring Europe. Be careful what you wish for. This story encompasses love, sex, murder and suspense. He was ten years younger than she and that only enhanced their growing relationship. Life’s twists and turns will leave you breathless, the ending will leave you stunned.
“Teri Cobb has written a fascinating page-turner, replete with heavy doses of love, sex and suspense, not necessarily in that order. Whether you’re closeted with her main character Rebecca in her hometown in Middle America or exploring nightlife in London, Rome, and Paris, you don’t want to miss a second of this unpredictable yet thrilling journey. Fasten your seatbelt and hold on for an exciting and thoroughly satisfying ride.”

King Midas – the legend says – transformed everything he touched into gold. Theodor Damian transforms everything he touches into poetry.
Sequences from street life, landscapes, people’s gestures, usually looked upon as banalities, disclose, under his eye, their beauty. Other contemporary authors make poetry out of poetry. Theodor Damian makes poetry out of daily reality.
The blase man of the twenty first century has a lot to learn from this book. Reading it one can rediscover the joy of life. It is a resurrection exercise.
Alex Stefanescu
This is an exceptional book, a synthesis of the poet’s lyric and philosophical vision on how the impossible looses its limits when it is immersed in prayer. In Damian’s poetry the “I” of the lyrical and the “I” of metaphysical reflection complement each other in total harmony and become definitory for the poet’s work when they meet in the profound dimensions of Christian spirituality.
Prayers in Hell represents an editorial event of utmost importance in the landscape so arid and so repetitive of our contemporary poetry.

Marianna Peters, the daughter of German-speaking parents, takes us back to quieter times when a family’s life and industry was centered in the family farm. As you read Growing Up in Prune City, you will walk through that delightful time at the turn of the century when the “stuff” of life for many families consisted of hard work, making clothes, cooking, baking, and canning, along with social breaks for church and school. In 1917, the Peters and other farmers planted many acres of prune trees around Dallas, Oregon. The town became known as “Prune City.” Prunes were shipped from Dallas throughout the United States, to other countries, and to troops deployed in Europe.
You will enjoy getting to know Marianna, the youngest of four siblings, as she goes to the small country church where she learned, and then embraced, her family’s religious values and practices. You will sit beside her in a country school as she learns. You’ll smile with her at cherry and prune-picking antics and activities. You will watch her play with other young friends as they wait for the daily mail delivery. You’ll hear her gasp, a few years later, when her name is called as valedictorian for Dallas High School’s graduating class of 1934. Then after a few years in college, your heart will be warmed as you see her falling in love and becoming Mrs. Elvin Quiring.
