Il Diritto Romano Nelle Leggi Normanne E Sveve del Regno Sicilia (1884)

James L. Thompson, Jr., of Collegeville, Pennsylvania, is a Renaissance man on a mission. Adopted for Publication is a sequel to his first book. Like that book it also consists of poems, essays, and short stories that examine the joys, sorrows, and humor of everyday life. Recently James Thompson has pursued an interest in acting with much success. He has appeared in several television commercials, industrial films, and print. But his most interesting success has come with his collaboration on short films with Philadelphia-area film maker, producer, and director Pat Taggart. One of their films, Charlie Applebee, was submitted to the Sundance Film Festival. Charlie Applebee is a story of friendship and faith and how one individual can change the lives of many others. Thompson is a multi-career professional, being a former federal agent, a teacher/college professor, a writer, a published author, a motivational speaker, an identity-theft consultant, and now an actor. The cover of this book was specifically designed and created for the author by Laura Wellem. Laura creates eco-friendly, mixed media canvas and furniture using vibrant colors with whimsical, spiritual, sensual and political themes. In her effort to help preserve Mother Earth she recycles magazines into art and uses non-toxic, water based acrylics. Laura originally met James Thompson in 1980, as a student in his 9th grade English class, where he encouraged her to explore herself as both a writer and an artist. They have remained friends over the years and Adopted For Publication is their first creative collaboration. Please visit her web site, www.LauraWellem.com for more information.
