  Grammar Matters

  A qualitative phenomenological study of online active military (OAM) students taking undergraduate level courses in the Distance Learning Military Programs at a Californian community college. Six participants volunteered while taking online courses from various locations around the world

  including sites located in an increased zone of conflict.

  \"The Mission Always Comes First\": A Phenomenological Study of Active Military Students in Online Community College Courses

  Short Story

  Aurora

  From the publisher: Slaughtered farm animals

  Chupacabras demons

  and the adolescent lust for sex: Marilyn Brock's first collection of stories

  Beaux Fest for the Wicked

  explores our fascination with horror in the context of frightening changes from society and from within. Brock's protagonists teeter on the edge of society and the cusp of adulthood

  are forced to grapple with unexplained mysteries not only in their own neighborhoods

  but in their own broken families. In \"Seattle's Best Neighborhood\"

  a girl and her friends attempt to solve two mysteries in their town- slaughtered cows that keep appearing

  and a house of cryptic teenage boys. \"Sterling\" explores the sense of loss a daughter feels as she watches her father waste away after her mother's and sister's death. Brock has studied her predecessors well: by the last story's close

  Beaux Fest will have unsettled the reader as well as any story by Joyce Carol Oates or Edgar Allan Poe. This collection of stories flirt with darkness and light

  cold and fire

  and the boundaries that are being redefined in literature

  art

  and film.
