Author Bio:
As far back as he can remember, Bill Hiatt had a love for reading so intense that he eventually ended up owning over eight thousand books–not counting e-books! He has also loved to write for almost that long. As an English teacher, he had little time to write, though he always felt there were stories within him that longed to get out, and he did manage to publish a few books near the end of his teaching career. Now that he is retired from teaching, the stories are even more anxious to get out into the world, and they will not be denied.

A Girl’s Tuscan dream
About A Girl’s Tuscan dream
This book is about how a forty-year dream landed me in one of the most unspoilt and beautiful areas of Tuscany. As I start writing I am sitting in my dream home looking out towards the Mediterranean Sea. The Tuscan sun is still strong at this hour, and the soft light reflecting on the hills makes the olive trees a vibrant grey green. The Love I found along the way is busy doing DIY projects. We will soon have an Aperol Spritz, some fresh basil, mozzarella and tomatoes from the garden. We will listen to the silence of the village. We will sleep well tonight and not awake until we hear the toll of the church bells or the late rising rooster. Not a sound will trouble us through the night, we may dream or not. What was a long dream for me is now a reality. How did I get here? Well, this is the tale of a Girl with a forty-year dream and a seven-year search to find her bliss. Are you ready to find your dream?

Stop – Scapegoat No More by Gina Maria Dobson
About Stop – Scapegoat No More by Gina Maria Dobson
My book deals with the abuse of Scapegoating. It is similarly situated to being a black sheep – one who has the unfair blame shifted towards him or her from family members, friends and other social, civic, religious and public circles. It cites very specific examples and at the end, it offers a clinical approach to heal.

9. The abandonment effect on cities.
The equity creation is substantiality lower on older homes and the cost to maintain is much higher. The age of the property erodes the equity created for a homeowner the longer it is held. The cost of maintenance prevents these households from saving be other means. Most wealth of low income households is the primary residence. The cost to maintain is too high to keep the property in livable condition. Further exacerbating the problem is a flawed appraisal system for residential homes which overvalues homes at a disproportionate rate because of the appraisal metrics used for valuation.
“Disentangling the racial homeownership gap will require changes across the entire housing ecosystem to address entrenched structural barriers.” (Urban Insitute , 2020)
