Would you like to help my granddaughter?

Jamie’s Conference

 

My granddaughter Jamie lives in Mojave, California.  She is an exceptionally bright sixteen year old, who goes to Rosamond High School.  Recently her parents received a notification that Jamie was nominated by one of her teachers to attend a National Youth Leadership Conference in Washington, DC during July 2013.   

A year and a half ago, Jamie’s father was injured at work.  He’s had one surgery and very soon he will be having neck surgery.  Her father will be out of work for at least another six to nine months.  With her mother being the sole supporter of the family of three children, there is no money to send her to the conference.  They are barely making ends meet even with the support of family. 

As Jamie’s grandfather, I can provide some of the funds but it would be greatly appreciated if others could donate to Jamie’s Conference.  Jamie is applying for scholarship money at the conference, but at the most that would be a couple of hundred dollars if she receives it.

Novel Explores the Horrors That a New Level of Terrorism Can Bring

Author pens the gripping sequel to his thriller “Behind the Lies”

MANCHESTER, N.H. – (July 14, 2011) – Twelve years after 9/11, the United States will experience a level of terrorism it has never felt before. Working in plain sight, Iranian agents posing as businessmen develop, plot, and create a network of horrific events in conjunction with cells that have been planted here decades ago. Readers can witness the intriguing events unravel in Gateway to Terror, a novel authored by Joe Smiga.

This gripping book, the second of an exciting trilogy, is based on Smiga’s imagination, and depicts how today’s terrorists could use everyday routines to cause harm and destruction within the nation. It portrays the continuous efforts of radical Islamic terrorists whose main goal is to instill fear and destruction into people’s lives and the lives of their loved ones.

The sequel to Behind the Lies, Gateway to Terror illustrates how vulnerable people are to simplistic methods even with all of our technology. The statement, “If there is a will, there is a way,” is proven true in this thriller. Readers will be shocked at what could possibly come true someday.

The book is available through local bookstores, Amazon and Barnes & Noble online or directly from the publisher at: www.Xlibris.com/GatewaytoTerror.html.  The book is available hardcover, softcover and e-book.
