BOOKS BY APC-WRITER

• ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS:  ENCOUNTER WITH GOD - My best book!  I try to pass along all that I have learned in my walk with God and his son Jesus which includes the good, bad, and the ugly I have experienced.  I write about a personal encounter with God with three witnesses to the miracle.  My best friend and two pastor's wives were included in part of my miracle, but not all of it.  I think God allowed that so they would not doubt my story about everything that happened.
• HURRICANE SLAMS HOSPITAL - This is a fiction/comedy/drama, loosely based on a true story that happened while I was working in a hospital when Hurricane Frederick hit the city of Mobile, AL in 1979.   The story is full of memorable characters, one being MARY AGNES.
• THE DEACON - A devout Christian man, a black deacon in a predominantly white church, is forced to make a bad decision due to circumstances beyond his control; however, this caused a domino effect of bad decisions that finally caused him to spiral downward into a Hell on earth.  He wanted his old life back.  Was it possible?
• STOP ENABLING DRUG ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS - Contains a lot of medical information and links to websites for more information regarding the problems involved with “enabling” addicts.  I have included “true” stories from both addicts and enablers, hoping their lives will show how enabling is a harmful type of behavior that hinders an addict from attaining their optimum level of functioning.
• A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS STORY - This is a Christmas story about a ten-year-old girl and is written for children in 3-5th grades and is very loosely based on my childhood.  A lot of children are interested in how people lived in the “old days” and how they entertained themselves before the invention of the “machines.”
• A NURSE’S MEMOIR - This is like a story in the bible about JOB who worked hard and lost everything.  The same thing happened to my husband and me.  While I was trying to survive the tragedy, I worked as a registered nurse in a hospital that presented many terrible challenges.  I endured several medical  maladies that threatened to kill me.  Like Job, my husband and I were tested to see if we would still worship God.  We learned to never give up, no matter what.
• THE WORLD OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE – Since my best fried of many years came down with the disease at 50 years of age, my mother suffered from it at the end of her 88-year-old life, and my second husband developed it by the time he was 80 years old; I feel I can offer a personal insight to the disease.  Alzheimer does not care who it affects, all races, status in life, or how smart you are.
• THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ILLUMINATED - Ten modern-day stories that illuminate the commandments.  They have gotten watered down and almost forgotten.  I have tried to put a spotlight on them again.
• SEVEN SINS THAT ARE DEADLY - Like cancer, in the beginning the symptoms do not seem so bad.  However, like cancer, if not treated, cancer will kill the body and the sins will kill the soul.
  
• UPCOMING BOOKS:
• GOD IS LOVE – My goal is to encourage Christians who are suffering from problems and need to feel the love of God.
• MY DOG FLUFFY – While I have had many pets in my lifetime, Fluffy was a present from my father after I had suffered serious abuse from the behavior of a teacher.  I had to be removed from that school and enrolled in one where all my teachers loved me.  My principal thought I hung the moon.  My dog Fluffy helped to bring happiness to my world.
• THE AFTERMATH – This is a story about three of the characters in my book Hurricane Slams Hospital.  These three characters are the only ones I have not forgotten.  I am anxious to find out what happened to them after the hurricane was over and the book ended.

Bibliography for Audrey Phillips Cox

Audrey started writing books in the year 2008. Having a passionate love of books since childhood, she developed a desire to also write books. Although she wanted to start writing earlier in life, she chose to attend college to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She felt this degree would give her a stable way to earn a living. Writing is not a stable profession. This was a good decision because her husband died at 66 years of age, leaving her to support herself. Thankfully, her children were grown and supporting themselves.
After working many years in intensive care units of hospitals as a registered nurse, she was forced to retire early from nursing to care for her debilitated mother who was suffering from dementia. This hindered her from working outside the home.
Needing to earn money, she worked from home for a company that provided articles averaging 500 words for random websites. Since the pay was low, she had to write several articles every day to receive adequate payment for her work. Some of these articles were used by Google to provide information for someone searching for answers. As a writer, she chose writing assignments where she could provide accurate information, mostly medical. This company was very strict, to the point of being picky, but she honed her writing skills.
After many years, her mother died. Her responsibilities decreased dramatically. However, she got married again. Being married, her responsibilities increased once again. Creating a successful marriage requires hard work and is therefore time consuming. Again, writing books took a backseat.
However, after seven years of marriage, her second husband died. Once again, she could return to writing books. Writing books have become a good way to spend her twilight years doing something productive..
Although she has faced the fact that she may never become a bestselling author, she remains hopeful that readers of her books gain some insight how to successfully navigate through life.
     She admits to making some bad decisions throughout her life, making her wish for a do-over; however, she has made more good decisions than bad ones. Thanks to her faith in God, she is a happy person.  Possessing a vivid imagination and having lived through a lot of good, bad, and ugly experiences in her life, she continues to write books.
