Someone is selling my book, Faithful Devotion on eBay
Someone from Australia has been listing my book for sale on eBay since May 2010. I have written the seller three times, to find out more about this, and to see how my book is selling, but have not received an answer.
Maybe I need to give my own feedback about the seller not responding.
See the eBay ad below:

I find this very interesting, especially since I have not been paid any royalties by my publisher since February 2010. Also the eBay listing first was at $29.95. Now, it's "reduced" to $24.49. Much higher price than the Amazon listing below.

How to release fear and negative energy
The best way to release fear and negative energy is simply think of it as a big fart! lol Dissipate all that negative energy into nothing, because it doesn't really exist.
If you carry fear with you, it's like having an open door to invite things to be afraid of into your life. Negative energies, and fear is certainly one of them, become form in our lives over a period of time. That is, you will manifest exactly what you fear.
OR, conversely, you can manifest positive energy in your life, the things you want in your life, by keeping a positive, open, loving attitude.
Fear is the opposite of love, not hate. Fear lets in all negative energy, creating the things and experiences you don't want, and love opens the door for more good, abundance, more love in your life.
Don't get hoisted by your own petard! Let that negative energy go! You do not need it in your life! It does you no good!
Replace all fear and negative energy with LOVE. Just fill your heart with love and graditude for all the beauty you have in your life, and watch your life blossom.
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

"Hey Spook!"
"I saw you boarding the plane, knew you didn't want to be recognized and this was the first chance I could get to get back here, to speak to you. I got a couple of reporters with me, and they didn't recognize you."
"The beret, sunglasses, dark mustache, and Green Beret uniform were quickly and easily remembered. When these recognition features were removed like a disguise, I disappeared."
Holloween is one day a year, when people change their identity, with a degree of "Self-abandonment." It's the one day of the year where little boys can be Superman, Batman or a Prince. Little girls can be Princeses, Wonderwoman or Elasta girl, and fully identify with the character, forgetting, briefly, their identity.
"Spooks" practice Self-abandonment every day. The above scenes from Faithful Devotion, are related to Pete's homecoming back to America, after being released from 28 days of solitary confinement, in Vietnam. The Green Beret Murder Case, (1969)

Last Dance, Last Chance
"Last dance, yes it's my last chance for love. I need you, by me, beside me, to guide me. To hold me, to scold me, 'cause when I'm bad, I'm so so bad!" Last Dance - Donna Summers, 1978.
This disco hit of the late '70's was a favorite of mine and Pete's for dancing. Pete loved it, because it started out slowly, then suddenly turn into that great disco beat, and we'd spin right into our "Push - Pull," Mambo routine.
One night we were at our favorite place in Orlando for dining and dancing, The 94th Aero Squadrom, Pete was wearing a nice dark blue suit and tie, I was wearing his favorite "spaghetti straps" danceskin bodysuit and wrap around skirt, also dark blue. My high heels were about 5" and were "glass." Yes, I wore glass high heal shoes with silver straps. It was actually a hard plastic I guess, but they looked like glass.
On this night, the DJ started out with Last Dance, and I was rearin to go. After stumbling around with the slow part of the song, as I anticipated the beginning of the fast tempo, I started tapping my foot to the silent beat, as the song pauses just before the tempo picks up. This seemed to get attention, and I can remember hearing some laughter and snickers from the crowd, and I smiled, but I was intently looking at Peter, waiting for that timing to turn into our Push - Pull routine.
It was great fun in the ole' disco days!

Time for a movie about true American hero?
Dear Fellow Americans,
I am Lisa M. Smith, wife of the late "Peter" Alvin Louis Smith, Jr. former Green Beret, arrested for the murder of his double agent, Chuyen Thai Khac. Peter, as he was called, and seven other men were held in solitary confinement for 28 days in Vietnam. President Nixon stepped in, and had the charges dropped.
The case became known as The Green Beret Murder Case, 1969 and is the focal point of my book, Faithful Devotion.
Faithful Devotion is a bibliography of my husband's writings. His writings were all for his Faithful Devotion to keep America free. That is, to keep America free from Communist threat.
He had written enough material for 10-12 manuscripts, for people such as the President of the United States to Reverend Jerry Falwell.
Born in Washington, DC, Peter literally spent his life faithfully devoted to America's freedom. He was a veteran of WWII. He was an officer in The Korean Conflict where he commanded 1400 Korean Guerrillas.
Peter also was vice consul of Port Said, Egypt; which was the first of his CIA assignments.
There is so much action packed into Peter's life story, that it really would make a better movie, than a book.
One great Hollywood scene is when, at age 23, Pete leaves his post in Korea, and walks out of the command post to see his troops had formed a 1400 men, mile long human corridor to the port, where a boat was waiting for Pete.
As he walked the mile through the human corridor, each man present arms to him, and shouted the Korean word "T'ujaeng!" meaning, I will fight for you!
When I asked Pete how he felt at this moment in his life, he could not find the words to answer. He looked away. The feeling behind his look was that it totally overwhelmed him. The feelings he had for his men were mutual to their show of love and respect for him.
I am currently seeking a movie producer to create Faithful Devotion into a movie. It has been too long since Americans have seen a movie about a true American hero.

Clint Eastwood's Biography
Following a link from where Clint Eastwood's picture was, I had the pleasure of reading Mr. Eastwood's Biography.
It brought back an old memory of my husband, Pete. When his daughter Marianne was a little girl, she was Rowdy Yates' biggest fan.
Clint Eastwood got his breakthrough at the end of the 50's decade with the TV series Rawhide, where he was a cast member for six years. As Rowdy Yates, he made the show his own and became a household name around the country.
Pete, his wife, Mary, their son, Kevin, and daughter Marianne spotted Clint Eastwood in a restaurant (can't remember where it was, Las Vegas, California, I'm not sure) but Marianne would not sit still, and kept saying, "Rowdy Yates! It's Rowdy Yates!"
Finally, her dad took her up to meet him, and he was very gracious, indeed. I believed he even autographed something for Marianne.
I also am quite glad to see that although Clint Eastwood would not be likely to act again, he will continue to direct films.
