Revolutionary Voices from the American Presidents' Slave Houses

After securing independence, America’s Founding Fathers gathered in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall to draft a Constitution. Article II, Section I vested executive power in a president, an office to be filled by the will of "We the People." The judgment of each president would prove critical to the grand experiment of American democracy.Yet, from 1789 to 1865, every single president personally accepted or permitted the continuation of American slavery—a vile and brutal system that used generations of enslaved people as free labor to fuel the nation’s economy, offering no reparations upon its violent end.Revolutionary Voices from the American Presidents’ Slave Houses offers a critical analysis of each administration, exposing the stark contradiction between the nation’s professed ideals of liberty and its presidential endorsement of slavery. The book centers the revolutionary voices of the enslaved and their descendants, who spoke truth to power through resistance and upheld a vision of a nation truly “indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Mists of Time

Devastation, lies, deceit.

An ancient evil returns.

Enter a world ablaze with fire, where ancient dragons soar amidst the wrath of vengeful gods, and a father’s insidious hunger for power eclipses all else, casting a somber shadow over his forsaken child. Within this forsaken realm, the air thickens with the stench of death and ruination, ensnaring her in its grasp.

Driven onward by a fervent love intertwined with an unyielding longing, she navigates through desolation, her path shrouded in dark enchantments that threaten to consume her very soul. In this harrowing tapestry, where desolation reigns and malevolent forces weave their wicked webs, she stands as a solitary figure, torn between the survival of her own fragile existence and the desperate struggle to avert ten thousand years of abysmal darkness that looms over all.

Battles of yore remain etched upon the fabric of time, their echoes reverberating through the ages, while the ancient witches, thought banished, rise once more from their slumber. Yet, amidst this landscape of treacherous machinations, the seeds of betrayal find fertile ground to sprout anew.

Delve into the enigmatic labyrinth born from the visionary mind of the acclaimed author of Gateway, where illusions dance with reality, casting sinister shadows upon the world. Brace yourself for a descent into a realm of unrelenting gloom, as Mists of Time unveils a tale of grim high fantasy that will chill your soul.

THE FEATHERED EDGE

Inner fence

was beyond mending

every animal in the barnyard

went a different way.

Completely connected

but mostly confused

he put the cutters in reverse;

his soul a restless farmer

condemned to farming,

farmed no more.

Weatherman’s poetry is about a poet finding himself. It moves from a romanticization of a past life in Montana, trips to Alaska, and finally to Canada, where he would start a family. His poetry moves toward a mystical detachment from a troubled society and marriage, where his poetry becomes a personal refuge. Finally, he realizes the power of authenticity in our own voice, that we have always had each other, and that the only power we lose is the power we give away.

The Devil's Grapevine

A young woman in the late 1930s became the mother of an illegitimate child. She was living in a small, pious town, which was very judgemental. The conception of her child was by an infamous rapist. Interpol had been chasing him across three continents. There had been hundreds of rapes. His crimes made headlines around the world, and he was soon captured, sentenced to death, and electrocuted. Only the girl, her mother, and the authorities were aware of who impregnated her.

When the boy was three, she and her mother decided she must become anonymous for fear that Roddy may find out that the blood of this monster runs through his veins. Changing her name, she and Roddy leave the past behind and end up in California.

Roddy, now ten, ends up working in an out-of-the-way truck stop in Grapevine Village. Many adventures and complexities lay before them. Love, death, a boy’s fantasies, the FBI. and warring trucking companies transporting Mexican farm workers without proper papers, who are fighting over who controls the rights to use the highway called “The Devil’s Grapevine.”

Roddy and his mother are caught between the FBI and the warring truckers, which ends in a gunfight that ends up burning much of the village to cinders. All works out in the end with the mother, the son, and a truck driver who rescues them from the gunfire and flames.

Mirror Never Lies

Mirror Never Lies is not a memoir that explains. It reveals. Through intimate reflections and sharply observed emotional truths, this book invites the reader into the private space where identity is negotiated, desire is examined, and survival quietly rewires the soul. It is about the versions of ourselves we build to be loved, the masks we polish to be safe, and the cost of carrying them for too long. So, tune in to see this first-generation immigrant gay story.

Written with restraint, precision, and unexpected tenderness, Mirror Never Lies resists easy answers and performative healing. Instead, it lingers in the in-between: the pause before honesty, the ache beneath success, and the moment you realize you’ve outgrown the life that once protected you. These pages explore ambition and loneliness, intimacy and control, and memory and reinvention—without nostalgia and without apology.

Scare Record

In the 1970s, a comic book ad promised a chilling record: sold alongside Sea Monkeys and a towering “you control it” Monster Ghost. These novelty ads were often more thrilling than the cheap trinkets they sold, and wise parents spared their children the inevitable disappointment.

But this ad was different. Its eerie artwork hinted at something far more sinister, and for $1.25, buyers got more than they bargained for. The mysterious Gayle House, the company behind it, vanished without a trace. Was it just another gimmick, or something cursed?

For 50 years, parents’ skepticism may have saved us. Or did it?
