Promoting Peace. Extending Grace. Enabling Abilities.
About PeaceAbility
Since 2010 PeaceAbility has been dedicated to advancing the cause of peace, social integrity, respect, and disabilities awareness. In recent years I have been focusing on topics of historical interest. This began with a deep dive into my genealogy. More recently, I have been studying local and family history. This has led to the writing of several books, essays, and articles which are available at this web site under the new name “PeaceAbility Press”.
Feel free to browse through this web site. At the top of each page is a MENU to navigate the site. By clicking on the tab “FEATURED“ you can find the latest news. The “BOOKSHELF gives you access a list of articles, essays, and books. Some may be read online or downloaded for free as a PDF. Printed books are available in the “STORE” for a nominal price. I hope you will enjoy browsing through these offerings. Be assured we will never seek personal information except as need to conduct online sales. Sales are processed securely through WordPress and its subsidiaries, on which this web site is built.
As before, I continue to share thoughts on current events in a blog format. These can be viewed under the tab “THINKING OUT LOUD”. Your comments in response to any information presented on this site are always welcome. Please use the “Comments” block at the bottom of most pages.
