Pam's Traveling Coat Collection

I have been crushed into suitcases and backpacks. I’ve been snowed on and sleeted on and windblown. I’ve climbed to heights no self-respecting coat should ever have to endure. I’ve ridden on subways, trains, and trolleys, flown in planes, and ridden in derelict taxis. I’ve bumped along on a donkey. I have felt like I was flying in the back of a pickup truck tearing across desert flats and dunes. I’ve waded into rivers and oceans and across streams on slippery rocks. I have even traveled on a Navy warship clear across the Pacific Ocean and helped steer it for just a little while. I’ve petted elephants in the wild and watched a cheetah hunt his weekly meal. I’ve climbed towers into what seemed to be the very clouds and crossed a bridge over a waterfall so tall and wide I couldn’t see the end or the bottom of it. And more! It’s been a lot for a coat to do! Join me in my travels!

Pam's Traveling Coat Collection - Book II

I’ve been loaded into suitcases and backpacks and tossed into airplane cargo holds for long rides around the world. I’ve survived windstorms and snowstorms, sandstorms and ocean waves. I know about subways and railways and all ways of travel from place to place. I have seen things from rickshaws, riverboats, canal boats, the back of a donkey and a camel. I’ve petted an elephant and a cheetah and lived to tell the tale.

Stairways into what seemed like the very clouds have been part of almost every adventure!

There are so many places to go. So many places to see. I encourage you to go explore. It’s a big, big world and it’s waiting for you.

Papayo: The Peruvian Puppy

Papayo is a Peruvian puppy who enters each day with excitement as he conquers many adventures with which he is faced. From exploring the Andes Mountains along the Inca Trail, to daily chores on his small village farm; readers get a glimpse into the lives of the free-roaming dogs in South America! Papayo is a real puppy living outside of Cusco, and I had the pleasure of meeting him during my travels to Peru. My own heart felt compelled to share this story since Papayo reminded me so much of my own puppy, Felix, back home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Yet, they lived completely different lives. Children and families of all ages can enjoy the heartfelt tale of Papayo: The Peruvian Puppy.

Party on the Moon

Party on the Moon follows the rise and dominance of the world’s top event producer as she navigates a corrupt industry, its insidious players, and the malcontent clients upon whose riches her empire is built.

Our mercurial lead character’s success is fully intertwined with the deterioration of her moral code, fueled by copious amounts of sex, drugs, and malicious behavior that only seems to enable her success. As she grows older, she starts to fear that her life has passed her by in one big party blur and she is lacking any real connection to the outside world, as well as a legacy that could potentially continue on.

The book’s curious title foreshadows an ending fit for a provocative and intriguing character that burns the candle at both ends…just long enough to hopefully find salvation.

Passions, Shoes, Sex, and Wine

Passions:

Shoes, Sex, and Wine

How Joanie became a wine Goddess

Caution!

This book might ignite a fire in you. Each sip contains forbidden information.

Drink it slowly. Drink deeply.

Joanie finds herself at the midpoint of her life. Without a partner, she relies on her three passions, shoes, sex, and wine. Her obsession with wine brings her into the terrifying world of quantum mythology. There she learns two things, somehow she holds the key to the future of goodness in the world and her chances of surviving the week are vanishingly small.

To her emotional and sexual delight, she discovers her soulmates, the God of Zinfandel and the Goddess of Chardonnay. Yes, even the gods end up in love triangles, especially wine gods. The novel is full of wine tasting, tradition, and history. Panpsychism is also woven into the storyline. The novel culminates in an insane road trip where all hell breaks loose, ending in a grand conflagration of hundreds of evil creatures, genetic scientists, gods, and goddesses and eventually setting into motion the grand ‘Deus Machina,’ the God-making generator.

After the exhausting and personally costly aftermath of solving the Darwin Killer case, beautiful and brilliant FBI Supervisory Special Agent Emmie Blanchet was looking forward to a little down time.

With her lover, Joel, the local police captain, and her father at her side, Emmie and her team work feverishly to stop these killers before more innocent lives are lost. When their investigations lead them to the Pavlovian Research Institute, founded by an ex-colleague of Emmie’s father, the team discovers that the perpetrators may, in reality, be victims of mind control themselves. As the plot thickens and becomes more complicated, Emmie and Joel’s relationship and passion grow to new levels, and the pair realize that they want to spend the rest of their lives together. Will Emmie be able to find the source of these crimes and bring the killers to justice? Or will more lives be lost? Will she be able to survive an unimaginable personal loss and still effectively do her job? Will her training and experience help her survive? Or will it be, as Pavlov theorized, that her conditioned responses will guide her?

Peeling the Onion: From Matthew Shepard's Murder to "Don't Say Gay"

This book weaves glimpses of some of the author’s experiences; intertwined with the experiences of friends, family and acquaintances; in his half-century journey to understand the impact of oppression and trauma on his life and the country. The author explores how the murder of his young friend Matthew Shepard, and being briefly thrust into the national spotlight, affected the direction and focus of that journey. The book chronicles his movement from the deafening silence of growing up in the “don’t ask don’t tell” environment of Wyoming; through that horrific murder; and into decades of painstakingly slow, positive, change toward social justice; accompanied by a growing negative backlash culminating in “don’t say gay” and other hate-based legislation.
