Barking From the Front Porch by Gerald M. Sliva is a humorous, nostalgic true story about growing up in a small town hotel in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Growing up in Kuroki Hotel with a wacky, fun-loving extended family provided loads of hilarious material for the author's musings. Stories of home brew, ingenious outhouse pranks, surreptitious smoking and gun-slinging - all the hi-jinx of young boys in the 1950’s and 1960’s will have you guffawing out loud.
Barking From the Front Porch is available only in very limited quantities except for the electronic versions. Because of popular demand I am working to publish a new, improved revised edition, both in paperback and Kindle.

NEW BY
Gerald M. Sliva
I really wondered if I would write another book, but after reading "Perspective - the Golden Rule" by David Meakes I had the inspiration to write again. David and I became good friends and email buddies. With sadness and regret I report that David, at the age of 96, passed away on July 1, 2019 at his home in Arizona. My new book, Conundra, The Golden Rule Revisited, refers to David's book and further elaborates on The Golden Rule.
As of January 1, 2020 100% of royalties from my books will be donated to charities.
More information to follow.
Perspective: the golden rule by David Meakes begins with his reasons for an agnostic perspective backed up by references and quotations. Even deeply devout bible punchers, while not agreeing with agnosticism, will respect his perspective.
When a writer reveals something personal he gets closer to the reader, developing a kinship. The writer is not preaching. He is talking to you as a friend. David did that very effectively in his war experiences. His antipathy toward war and the military-industrial complex is genuine, coming from the heart and soul. He backs up his hatred of war by quoting many experts.
His harrowing trip to Europe on the horse boat, retrieval of his first wife in Britain, his difficult first marriage, his struggles with finding a successful location in which to practice his chosen profession and his decision-making dilemmas regarding American citizenship were all very human. They are personal, almost as though the reader is there with him having the same struggles.
Finally, David's case for a world government and golden rule education are issues which will inspire all.
Perspective: the golden rule is a detailed expose and well worth your while if you are interested in The Golden Rule, a peaceful world, relationships or religion.
