A Pangolin Slept on Buddha's Lap

"Writing Wild. Riveting fiction with a focus on conservation." Emmy Trivete, Milepost

When the deadliest threats to wildlife aren’t found in the wild…

From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the shadowy underbelly of Kathmandu, readers plunge into a world where science collides with the evils of human nature when a mission to save endangered pangolins lands a wildlife conservationist in a hornet’s nest of corruption.

Wolf Vandengetz had a dream job: studying majestic lion prides in Africa. Then, a promotion catapults him into a treacherous realm where he discovers that nature’s greatest predators aren’t found in the wild – they lurk in boardrooms, bedrooms, and back alleys.

Armed with a scientist’s knowledge but unprepared for the cutthroat politics of NGOs, or the ruthless methods of animal traffickers, Wolf is fighting for more than just the pangolins’ survival. On an adventure beset with unpredictable twists, he solves complex ecosystem mysteries and unravels a web of corruption that stretches from local poachers to global policy-makers. When the stakes skyrocket, it’s no longer just about saving a species – it’s about exposing the human greed that jeopardizes the delicate balance of nature.

The pangolin’s plight unfolds as a heart-pounding journey. Will Wolf clear his name and chart a new path for wildlife conservation, or will he, like the pangolin, become another casualty in the war against nature?

A Portrait to Paint

The poems in A Portrait To Paint celebrate two journeys: the career in New York City that Andréa Suarez Hill had in print, broadcast and photo journalism until 1987; as well as the life she and her husband made when they moved to Down East Maine and created a salt water farm on a bay near the ocean.  The poetry reflects these two very different rural and urban lifestyles.

The section titled “We,” as a metaphor for the family of man, captures daily news from across the globe: climate change, social injustice, the Covid pandemic, political issues and more.

In the chapter titled “You,” Suarez-Hill writes about her relationships with horses, wild animals, people and places both in New York and Maine.

The last part of the book, “Me,” expresses her inner world, feelings about aging as well as about her childhood, family and friends.  A reader feels the wonder Andréa Suarez Hill experiences across the years wherever she lives and looks.

A Rose Trampled

They are thieves of innocence, murderers of dreams, and administrants of nightmares. Rapists and pedophiles have no soul.

We’ve all had our family members watch our children from time to time—after all, they’re family. Once you’ve read A Rose Trampled: The Samantha Douglas Story, you will rethink about any family member keeping watch over your young children without you being present. I am a retired police officer after 23 years of service and have talked to countless women in my lifetime. Samantha Douglas’ true-life story is unlike any story I’ve ever heard.

Samantha had been sexually abused since the age of four. Doctors say maybe as early as two or three. She was thrown out of the house at the age of fifteen because of rebellion against her mother for not confronting her abuser, a mature male relative. She was homeless, severely depressed, and only had the clothes on her back.

Later, as an adult, Samantha finally found and married a man, and after several attempts at pregnancy, she had to bury five children. She divorced her husband—infidelity being the reason—and remarried, only to find out he was a murderer. Finally, she found true love and gave birth to her one and only child, Joshua. Joshua was a sick little boy and had major health problems. Then, without warning, her husband suddenly died.

Life’s thorns could have destroyed her, but instead, they made her stronger. So, if you think you’ve been to hell and back, just read A Rose Trampled: The Samantha Douglas Story. I promise you’ll change your mind.

However, when Elizabeth runs off to the Paspahegh village to avoid an arranged marriage, everything starts to fall apart, putting Thomas, and the entire settlement, in grave danger and leaving them each asking themselves…

Is honor worth the ultimate sacrifice?

A Story that Needs to Be Told

Should a woman experience spiritual events in her life, that give her undeniable proof the Heavens are real, that we are able to receive direction from those beyond the grave, it does not seem to be fulfilling the intent of the heavens to keep this knowledge to herself.

Should this same woman receive such encouragement from beyond to share her experiences with others, may she recount only the truth for others to interpret; whether the facts seem sensible, or leave one with more questions. She realizes anyone picking up this book has possibly had experiences of their own.

Should this same woman realize that she is just the messenger and that the stories have been provided by the heavens, deem it fair to acknowledge this fact, and donate one half of all proceeds to help others in need.
