When he was younger and more naïve, Bernie Roper wanted money, he wanted romance, he wanted to sail around the world; all those things most of us wish for when we are young. But, be careful what you wish for! Unlike most of us, he got his wishes, but paid a terrible price when one of his dreams turned into a nightmare. In the end, he was lucky to get away with his life intact, unlike others who bought into his dream, but paid the ultimate price.
This book is the first in the Bernie Roper series. All books in the series are based upon actual events but the most of the stories are creative folly.
Bernie is professionally and financially destroyed; a victim of a sociopathic, fellow dentist. After returning from their disastrous boat cruise, (When the Dream Becomes a Nightmare), Bernie and Astrid try to start a new life in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is confronted by the bias, racism and hatred of a small professional cabal, intent on keeping power. Most insults are easily forgotten and forgivable. Intentional, harmful ones are so damaging, revenge with interest is the only answer.
This is the second book in the Bernie Roper series. In this book, what you will think is folly is probably true; and what think is truth, is creative baloney
Bernie falls victim to several swindlers: a fantasy driven friend, a drug-addled lawyer, and a psychopathic physician.His financial successes attract predators who take advantage of his naivety, while his past enemies and personal crimes continue to haunt him. Bernie uses creative answers to drain the swamp in which he finds himself.
This is the third novel in the Bernie Roper series; imaginatively altering the truth.
Over my past 89 years, I do have regrets, but not for the things I did. I have experienced many of those things most of us wish for, when we are young. My successes gave me confidence, my failures gave me wisdom. I lived a full and exciting life, because I learned: “If It’s Not Illegal, Immoral, or Fattening, Say Yes”
This book shares with you the stories of those successes and failures. More importantly, it shares the positive lessons learned from both.
If lucky, we fall in love with someone, who moves our heart to write poetry. Our eyes react to light and color, our ears pick up vibrations of a certain wavelength, our olfactory organ can recognize certain molecules in the air, our taste buds discriminate between sour, sweet and salty and our skin relays the sense of touch, heat and pain. We hear what we want to hear. We touch; but do not feel. We don’t say what we really think. Frequently, our senses don’t recognize what is obvious. The author was lucky enough to follow his heart to write poems.
This may be the first time in history that humans have been the guinea pigs for animals, rather than the other way around. Humans have enjoyed the benefits of dental implants for over 35 years; they are considered the Standard of Practice for replacement of missing teeth. In the USA alone, small animals lose an estimated 2,000,000 teeth annually.
Dr. Harold Bergman, in collaboration with Dr. James Anthony and others, has developed this educational manual, specifically to teach veterinary dentists how to successfully place and restore dental implants into small animals. The Specialty College for Continuing Education considered this book eligible for 10 RACE credits.
