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.

"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, can be achieved." - Napoleon Hill (American self-help author)

Oh, and Happy Holidays!

Namaste!

My Published Books

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 CityMissouri, 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

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

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.

The Haunted Igloo - Arctic Series Book 1


As you see, I love writing about the Arctic and have a 3-book series: The Haunted Igloo, Book 1Spirit 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!)
