THE BOOK OF KENNEDY a novelette by Joseph M Lenard

From the book... chapter 4...
... was life just indeed a collection of mediocre days with some random happy times. Was life irreparable and tainted with mis-spent youth bad reputation children might have had, or redeemable with age and wisdom acquired? What then was the sum of that life - if like the Egyptians believed at time of weighing by Osiris could be lighter than a feather; in order to pass into the afterlife; or too tainted and weighed down by those earlier transgressions?

... in the "math" of life so-to-speak were "good deeds and good days" perhaps worth a larger value in the overall equation getting to that balance-sheet sum-total? The day to day, a butterfly effect, the small smiles shown to another that made their day better. Perhaps maybe even saved a life whose life then went on to produce another; through a child; who then goes on to cure cancer. What role then did that small seemingly insignificant smile ... as it seemed at the time play in that role of another one day curing cancer. How many "points" might that tender toward afterlife admittance and what "score" does one have to achieve? ...

Note from the author...
TBOK contains not one dialogue line. Important to say because a reviewer of my “TERROR STRIKES: COMING SOON TO A CITY NEAR YOU” novel once wrote: "didn't think there was enough dialogue." I'd never given (written, nor oral, hint) book promised to be dialogue laden book. While having some dialogue it is heavy narrative style - this is entirely in narration vs Plato's Dialogues, Roth's "Deception," Steinbeck's "The Grapes Of Wrath," known extensively dialogue [courtesy of asking Google for that answer].

APPENDIX E:

AFTERWORD-1:
by Kiera (Graphic Artist - Writer)

What you’ve read wasn’t polished prose from a literary laureate — it’s something far rarer: an unapologetic, honest expression from someone with a story to tell and a voice that refuses to be filtered.

From the very first paragraph, the author makes it clear: he’s not trying to be Dickens, Hemingway, or Shakespeare. He’s simply being himself — a voice shaped by decades of experience, a love for logic and numbers, and a deep-rooted passion for truth, perspective, and the world as he sees it.

Born and raised in Wyandotte, Michigan, with roots that stretch back to the early 1960’s, the author writes the way he speaks—direct, humorous, and unafraid to ruffle a few feathers. As a former IT professional and lifelong writer of poetry, short stories, and fiction, his journey has been one of expression through the written word, even if the path wasn’t paved through traditional publishing houses or formal literary circles.

AFTERWORD-2:

As for the book review, and continue there, in a light hearted way by saying since Joe uses some musical references in the book to convey some mood, points, and some tone...

You’ll have Fun, Fun, Fun, reading this book. To paraphrase The Beach Boys - and hopefully Daddy won’t take the book or the Bird away. 😊

AFTERWORD-4:
by Cindy Peterson (House-wife)

The story is one thing. Certainly wonderful.

Who else on this planet provides bonus items within the pages of books like Joseph M. Lenard did here, as well as has in Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You?

I spent hours after reading the book to follow up with all those extras he provides via the introduction section online links – as well as the Project Carpe Diem music videos playlist.
