TODAY'S VIOLENT CULTURE

This country features and thrives on violence and horror everywhere we turn. It's no wonder there are so many killings these days. It's a fact that many young people are growing up with violence-filled minds.

And don't say "pray about it," because prayer doesn't work to stop people who are only out to make money from their violent movies, books, video games, and VR games, which can contain subliminal messages and put the players right in the game with a gun in his hand -- "Oh look! I'm going to blast this guy away! Isn't this fun? Don't worry, it's only a game!"

Doesn't anyone have enough brains to figure this out? The information is out there for anyone who has the guts to dig it out, study it, and post about it. Oh yeah, and it would help if guns weren't so readily available. I am sick of this! There are answers and solutions to the problem. But I can't do it all by myself. We need people to rise up and demand: "This is enough!"

If this is your form of entertainment, YOU can do something about it.

Oh, and Happy Holidays!

Namaste!

E-books & Tree books for your reading enjoyment

For Family Members only!

SHORT CIRCUITS & BRAIN FARTS is a memoir containing bits and pieces of my writing activities over the years: slapstick, one-liners, and art work. I leave this to my family and friends to remind them how totally goofy I am.

This book was written between the writing and publishing of my novels. It served as a great writer's block breaker. I hope you have as much fun reading Short Circuit as I had writing it.

Cheers!

👀 BRAND NEW RELEASE! 👀 

A tender but fierce love story about a young Afro-Asian paramedic coming to terms with his identity and a feisty Caucasian girl fed up with her strict American upbringing. Paul Angers (Kimchi) and a young woman with a rickshaw meet at a zoo and end up in each other’s arms.

It's Kansas City, Missouri, 1977, and Paul Angers has flashbacks of his Korean mother and sister as their small group of refugees traveled through the mountains to find safety in war-torn Korea. This mixed-race young man's whole life changed after his adoption by an American couple.

Kimchi will entertain you with his knowledge of martial arts and fire rescues, and will soothe the racist beast that may lurk unbidden inside of you. A gritty story of compassion and memories of his Korean mother, Cam—who abandoned him at an orphanage when he was four years old.

This courageous young man deals with a racist fire chief, and the girl he wants rejects him repeatedly. He expects the racism—he's dealt with it all his life—but he does not expect to fall in love. Available as e-book and print at Amazon.com.

FOOTPRINTS IN TIME

A Walk in Sacajawea’s Moccasins

On the Lewis & Clark Trail

This book is dedicated to the brave men and women who faced the unknown to forge trails across this wide and wild continent.

When America was young, many pioneers left their footprints in the sands of time as they explored the land from east to west. In 1805, a young native woman joined the Lewis and Clark expedition, and with a papoose on her back, helped explore America’s northwest.

This book is for readers ages 8-12 years who want to learn more about Sacajawea, her papoose Pomp, and the explorers Lewis and Clark.

Face the Winter Naked is Historical Fiction set in the Great Depression of 1932, in my birth state, Missouri. You will definitely enjoy this novel, which some have compared favorably to The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck. I am so honored! 

 

The Ghost of Calico Acres is what I call a modern Gothic-Romance-Suspense-Mystery, and it's up to you to figure out who or what is haunting Calico Acres. I had such fun writing this one!   

Down the Memory Hole is for middle-grades through senior citizens. All ages love it. I once worked as a caregiver for an elderly Alzheimer's patient, so I am quite familiar with that condition. This story is a laugh-out-loud story as seen through the eyes and heart of a 12-year-old boy who dearly loves his grandfather but wishes they weren't roommates.

As you see, I love writing about the Arctic and have a 3-book series: The Haunted Igloo, Book 1, Spirit Lights, Book 2, and Drum Dance, Book 3. Not only are these books sequels, but each stands alone and the characters age. (Books 1 & 2 are for middle-grade readers, but Drum Dance is young adult through adult. It is not for young kids, but still carries my Arctic theme. And there's a surprise in it for those who read Spirit Lights!)

My books are available from Amazon.com

WHITE BUFFALO (CALF) PROPHECY

After President Joe Biden stepped down to allow Vice-President Kamala Harris to take his place, I've wondered if a newborn white buffalo calf fulfills a tribal prophecy, according to Native American spiritual leaders. The rare white calf was born June 4, 2024, in Yellowstone National Park’s Lamar Valley, and a couple of weeks later, Biden was forced to quit the race for his second term and endorsed his vice president to continue carrying his banner.

I can't help wondering: Is Kamala Harris the fulfillment of that sacred prophecy? Read the following article and draw your own conclusion.

https://nativeheritageproject.com/2012/05/19/white-buffalo-calf-prophecy/ 

Also worth reading is the book Black Elk Speaks (available at Amazon.com), where the medicine man Black Elk talks about his visions, some of which seem to be fulfilling currently. 

And taking the visions and prophecies a step further, one must not forget the trance predictions of Edgar Cayce, in the book The Sleeping Prophet. Cayce's Earth-change predictions may already be underway. He mentions the shifting of the poles, which has occurred through previous incarnations of our planet. Cayce, when asked how this would come about, replied that humans would start the process and nature would finish it. I came away with the feeling that Earth itself would not be destroyed, because the seer said he would reincarnate in a different body in Nebraska, in the year 2158, and that Nebraska would be on a coastal area.

So, adding all these predictions together, I feel we are at the beginning of the Earth changes, as well as a spiritual renewal through the sacred white buffalo calf, which may possibly be represented by our own Kamala Harris. She may not realize this, but I sincerely believe she has the ability and love for our planet and its people to speed things along and help to heal the mess mankind has made of this third bright planet from the sun. From what I see, she's already making a good start, and people are loving her. A white buffalo in the form of a woman, Asian-Black American or not, perhaps she represents Mother Earth and the fulfillment of a prophecy. I hope I am right.

Namaste!

 

WAKE THE HECK UP, PEOPLE!

Serious thinking here about Joe Biden and the Dems insisting he step down. 

Does anyone realize if he does that, many of his loyal supporters might be so hurt and angry that they wouldn't bother to vote at all? I sincerely hope that doesn't happen, because this country would be in a world of deep sh*t for sure if we ended up with a dictator.

Many of the younger generation don't know who Hitler was and what he stood for. But I'm a member of the so-called "greatest generation," and I recall how tragic that era was, and how many lives were lost.

VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO! Our lives depend on it. Our children's lives depend on it. Think peace, and vote for Joe Biden, the peace maker. If anyone deserved a pair of wings, it's this man.

Namaste!

Think Before We Act!

In my not-so-humble opinion, certain people in this country—who are calling for President Joe Biden to quit his race for a second term—are out of their friggin’ minds! I can't see any replacement for Biden who could immediately wear his shoes and handle—not only our own country's affairs—but foreign affairs, as well.

Nobody else has his political experience and knowledge. I would match Joe's mind with anyone who insults his intelligence by forgetting what he has already done for this country, because behind that intelligent mind—advanced age be damned—is a vast accumulation of wisdom. Think about that! Joe Biden knows what he’s doing . . . and when was the last time any of us made a verbal error when we were under the weather?

Careful what we wish for! Most of us may not be wishing for another Trump presidency, but if certain members of our society don't change their tune fast, that's exactly what we'll get. And if that happens, it's bye-bye to our democracy, our way of life, our freedom, and we won't like what replaces it. Trump cannot hold a candle to someone with a lifetime of experience it takes to run a great country such as ours.

Namaste!

BOXES

Why do we live in boxes? Our houses have rooms, which are boxes. Our boxes are in neighborhoods with other boxes. Our neighborhoods are in counties, which are in boxes. And the counties are in states—more boxes. States are boxed in countries. We visit doctors whose offices are in boxes, and who operate in boxes. We shop in big store boxes and buy products in boxes. We ride in boxes to attend schools in boxes. The school boxes are like the boxes we live in—they have four walls, a floor, and a ceiling. At home our kitchen has an "ice" box, and our oven is a hot box; our cabinets are boxes. Our bedrooms have boxes to keep our clothes in. We watch other people on a box called a TV while they do things in their own boxes. Some people in our TV boxes are watching TV shows about other people watching something on their TV boxes. I wonder if we can live without our boxes, and when we die, they put us in a box, which is then put into another box, which is then encased with soil on all sides—another box. How did we decide to live in square/cube boxes when our planet is round? I think that in many places in the world, humans are not fixated on boxes, but instead they build other shapes to live in—homes built of natural materials that don't require wood stolen from the forests.

Namaste!

Violence Incorporated

We all know this world is full of violence, and it appears to be getting worse. But many are searching in the wrong places for a solution. An oft-repeated catch phrase is: It's the guns!

Is it the guns, or is it something else? I say it's something else, and that something else is called subliminal persuasion: Subliminal means an advertisement, book, or program contains embedded messages that go straight to the subconscious mind. It's a fact that's been studied and tested by experts in the field of mental health. Know this: The human mind absorbs thoughts and images, which go directly to the subconscious, and the more of these we see, the more we're apt to react as though they were our own thoughts and ideas. Constant repetition does it. But most people don't realize this is happening.

Guns don't pick themselves up and shoot people. There have always been guns; but there haven't always been violent video games, VR with subliminal images embedded, movies, some music, TV programs, and bloody images on book covers, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet. Our country has become a culture of violence everywhere we turn . . . and some people thrive on this type of brainwashing. I'm not saying everyone is affected by these thoughts and images, but for some with mental disorders (including undiagnosed illness), or someone on mind-altering drugs, they can be a time bomb waiting to go off, and the player becomes an actor on the stage. And when that time comes, their chosen weapon is often a gun. But the gun alone doesn't do the deed.

Guns in the hands of unstable or angry people are dangerous, absolutely. I dislike guns, though they have their place in society—hunters, police officers, soldiers use them. But makers of violent media that's fed into people’s minds day in, day out rake in billions from the sales of their supposedly innocent games and other violent products.

Subliminal persuasion is a fact—advertisers know this and use it to sell their products. Virtual Reality games are especially bad, as they allow the player to enter the scene and become an active part of the story. A player doesn't know he's actually creating something with his mind by participating. "It's only a game!" he says.

Namaste!
