The Adventures of Lanny Llama – Book 2

Lanny Llama is afraid of the pumpkin patch. It is big and filled with spooky shadows and eerie sounds he doesn’t like!

Farmer John knelt down beside Lanny Llama. “I know it’s hard going to a place that you’re afraid of, but you have to be brave, and you have to try.”

Farmer John’s gentle reassurance and encouragement doesn’t make Lanny Llama feel any better. It is Halloween and the spooky pumpkin patch needs to be decorated in time for the trick-or-treaters.

But Lanny Llama and all the other animals on the farm are afraid of the spooky pumpkin patch… and Lanny Llama knows that Halloween will have to be cancelled if he cannot face his fears –– so the only way he can save the day is by being brave!

The Fabulous Adventures of Minnie the Wonder Cat

The Fabulous Adventures of Minnie the Wonder Cat is a collection of stories about two extraordinary NYC-based cats, Minnie and Tashi. The cats hail from the mythical Himalayan realm of Cataleenia, where they studied such magical feline arts as invisibility, dental telepathy and flying.

Once in New York City, Minnie and Tashi apply their super-powers, flying around the Big Apple, righting wrongs and fighting injustice wherever they find it. With a light touch, the book explores issues of immigration; the rights of children, seniors and animals; prejudice and racism; the value of the arts; a bit of history; and the aspiration to be of benefit in this world and to serve others. It’s about the power of love.

In their adventures, Minnie and Tashi foil a kidnapping plot, rescue the residents of a poorly run nursing home, turn out an evil-doer from their beloved homeland, avert tragedy in a theatre, redeem an adolescent gang of would-be thugs, and put their magical paws on the pulse of the past, enabling a brighter future for us all. These stories are fables for all ages.

Sermons in Dust

At some point, I realized what most of us seek in life is false, including what a man makes a priority. The things that he pursues often lead to nothing more than emptiness in his heart. Constantly, his actions swing him back and forth between right and wrong. Happiness often flees from him, and peace is only a daydream. It all comes back again in a cycle that never ends. A man will often blame the world for his problems, but he refuses to look inside himself, though deep down he knows that he is the cause of much of his tragedy. The world may not be to blame. The world is only what it is.

I had God, but a church was something that I knew little of, often only driving past a vacant building on a day it was not in session. But I do respect it. My faith was found in the forests and streams that I spent most of my Sundays in, drawing inspiration from my experiences there. But where I truly realized the power of God’s wisdom was in the fire itself, where selfishness, lies, and the deceit that we all encounter pervade, almost to the point where it chokes the very breath out of us. Friends may really be enemies, as our trust is lost in those who once held all of it. I knew I had to find trust in something else: a power that was above man’s pettiness, something that could transcend our arrogance and pride.

My life is half over, but I may have finally figured out how to live it, as I tried to write these words.

Cartel Bands On

The American immigration system is often described as broken, with calls for Congress to completely rewrite the laws. Many believe that foreign gangs are taking over the streets, drug cartels control the border, taxpayers are funding the lives of migrants, and American workers are being replaced by those willing to work for less.

But are these claims true?

Cartel Bands On takes a deep dive into the realities of the American immigration system. Written by a retired Border Patrol Agent, this book combines factual analysis with firsthand experiences from the author's career.

With a clear and accessible approach, it explores the history and laws governing immigration while providing a closer look at what both legal and illegal migrants encounter upon entering the country. Readers are invited to challenge their assumptions and critically assess whether the system is truly broken. If it is, how should it be fixed?

Mars Trek

Mars Trek chronicles the first human mission to Mars in the year 2076, a joint endeavour between the United States and Russia. The American team travels aboard a rotating spacecraft that simulates gravity, while the Russian team opts for a zero-gravity vessel.

Although a work of science fiction, Mars Trek offers broad appeal to general readers, much like Andy Weir’s The Martian. It combines visionary technology and scientifically grounded detail with a compelling portrayal of the human side of space exploration. From the journey through deep space to life on the Martian surface, the novel captures both the excitement and the emotional weight of such a mission.

With its unique approach and thoughtful execution, Mars Trek is especially timely in light of current discussions surrounding the feasibility of human travel to Mars, including Elon Musk’s highly ambitious timelines.

Blending technical accuracy with vivid storytelling, the novel presents thrilling moments as the crew faces unexpected emergencies, while also exploring the personal challenges and triumphs of the individuals on board.
