This eBook explores the advantages and disadvantages of learning a second language and what it could mean for people who have completed a second language course. The areas covered in the eBook are:

• The advantages/disadvantages of teaching a second language to children
• Difficulties for adults learning a second language and how these difficulties can be overcome
• Employment and business opportunities
• Travel enjoyment 

In the Ebook I have explored some of the difficulties for adults with learning a second language. I explore how these difficulties can be overcome no matter what the age of the person

I explore the advantages/disadvantages of children learning a second language and the opportunities it can create for them in later life. How about learning a second language as a family unit? Does learning a second language impact the child's ability to speak their own native language, or does it enhance this ability?

I examine if there are any business or employment opportunities for adults to be availed of by learning a second language. I will look at just some areas of employment that are currently available. I look at the advantages of learning a second language in terms of business relationships with your foreign clients when they see you've made even a small efford to understand some of their native language.

The purpose of this book is, to provide information on what it is like to work as an airline flight attendant. I have included a typical work day, while working with a regional airline called, "Chautauqua Airlines". 

I worked in the airline industry for over 25 years. I worked as a flight attendant for 17 years with: America West Airlines, Comair, and Chautauqua Airlines. Without a doubt, working as a flight attendant was the best possible career. I was able to travel to different cities on an every day basis. 

These days, applying to work as an airline flight attendant is extremely competitive. Most airlines receive hundreds, or thousands of job applications and resumes each month. As we have seen, many airlines have merged with other airlines, or simply gone out of business. As a result, there are fewer airline flight attendant positions. As difficult as it may seem, if you have the sincere desire, motivation, and a "never give up" attitude, you can and will achieve your goal of working as an airline flight attendant. Please enjoy this sample chapter. I will be publishing a much longer and detailed book soon. 

Thank you.

In this article, I discuss what to expect while attending initial flight attendant training.

I worked in the airline industry for over 25 years. I worked as an airline flight attendant for over 17 years with America West Airlines, Comair, and Chautauqua Airlines.

Attending initial flight attendant training is challenging, difficult and stressful. However, it is necessary to get through and pass all the required examd to enable you to begin your airline flight attendant career. The airline flight attendant training, is between 4-8 weeks in length. The training is usually held at that airline's main headquarters. As an example, when I went through the initial flight attendant training with Comair, the training was held in a building right next to Comair's headquarters located in Erlanger, KY, very close to the CVG Airport.

My advice to anyone attending initial flight attendant training is, to put everything else on hold. You will need to focus your energy solely on passing the exams, and learning the material. While attending initial flight attendant training with Comair, we started out with 53 people in our class. However, at the conclusion of the 4 1/2 week training, only 27 people actually graduated. It is a very intense, and challenging training course. However, if you can pass all the exams, and get through training successfully, you will look back at this training as a time you will

The Origin of Murder is a suspenseful tour of the Galapagos Islands with a killer on board!  Roger and Suzanne take a vacation cruise through the islands, 600 miles west of Ecuador.  The biology of the islands is presented with introductory quotes from Charles Darwin.  Suzanne finds a dead body with a couple of bullet holes floating in the Pacific Ocean and we're off to solve another complex and deadly mystery.  Among the suspects is a mysterious Ecuadorian travel agent with an eye-opening secret, a cheerful bird watching couple from Germany, a happy honeymooning navy couple, two sensual sisters from San Francisco, and a couple from Uruguay seeing the wonders of the world.  Lurking in the background are a shadowy Ecuadorian Air Force general and a Paraguayan policeman.

The Body in the Bed is a suspenseful whodunit mystery set in exotic Montevideo, Uruguay.  Murder and espionage are seamlessly mixed with the political and cultural aspects of modern day life in Uruguay.  The protagonists include Los Angeles-based private detective Roger Bowman, his wife, Biochemist Suzanne Foster, and Paraguayan policeman and international spy, Eduardo Gomez.  And, of course, the body in the bed, who we meet very early in the novel.  Who killed him and why?

The reader will not only enjoy a good mystery, but will smell and taste (at least virtually) the local foods and wines of Uruguay, visit the local attractions of Montevideo, and learn a little history of a small corner of South America half a world away from the United States.  The plot is carefully researched and based on real events occurring in today's news. 

The Body in the Bed is part of the author's South American mystery series, all e-books available on-line from Amazon's Kindle Store.  Each book in the series can be read on its own, in any order.  The series does feature recurring characters, so you can revisit the series to find out more about what happens to the characters, at least the ones who survive to the end of this thriller!
