THE BRONZE ANGEL is an epic story spanning five decades beginning in 1953. It reflects the cultural divide and historical milieu of the latter half of the 20th century.

Rafter, a rich kid and basketball star, and Billy Bob, a poor kid from Appalachia   are unlikely friends who have a profound influence one another's destiny. 

The story is a testament to the power of love to bridge the chasm between rich and poor, to libertate from poverty and ignorance, to heal wounds of disgrace and despair, and to make dreams come true.

 A bronze statue of an angel silently awaits with an outstretched arm, a face of pure compassion and a treasure chest.

THE MANY FACES OF LOVE in Paintings and Poetry illustrates the synergy between word and image. It captures the universal experience of love, its agony and ecstasy, its profound essence and mystery, and its humor.

KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE is a treasury of illustrated humorous stories and wisdom gleaned from life experience. Laughter has been called the "best medicine." So at least once a day we need a dose of it, to lean back with our stomachs protruding and take a big guffaw at stuff that makes us uptight. This colorful little book aims at helping you do just that, instead of taking Maalox, Pepto Bismol, Benzodiazepine, Diasepam, Serotonin, or Alprazolam the latter which also helps reduce anxiety in dogs during thunder storms.

MOTHER EARTH is an inspirational treasury of illustrated short poems, stories, and reflections about our precious Planet Earth. It differs from many writings about global warming and climate change as it illustrates Earth's awesome beauty rather than horrific disaster scenes. Most readers have seen or experienced smokestacks, fires, floods, and storm damage. Most agree with 97% of scientists who say climate change is real and caused by humans dumping forty million tons of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere each year. This is not la vie en rose, i.e. portraying the Earth through rose colored glasses. Through beautiful art and photography the Author portrays Earth as we wish to preserve it. Thanks to astronaut photographs, we now can see ourselves as a gorgeous blue orb against the blackness of space. The blue ring circling Earth, comparatively thinner than the skin of an apple, is our atmosphere which keeps every living thing alive, including seven plus billion people who each take about 20,000 breaths a day. Our atmosphere keeps us from becoming a frozen orb circling the Sun. If we continue to use it as a carbon dump, in a relatively short time, Earth can become a brown scorched ball. We are precisely the right distance from the Sun to make life possible. Earth absorbs only two billionths of the Sun's energy. It is a very delicate calibration, a finely tuned thermostat. But Mother Earth, for many decades has been running a steadily rising fever. As of late she is showing signs of serious illness. It is our turn to take care of her and nurse her back to health. This book is a clarion call to raise moral consciousness to come to her aid before it is too late. Find a quiet corner, sit down for thirty minutes and let this book penetrate your senses and inspire you to as a global citizen. Nursing Mother Earth back to health, or not, will be our legacy to all generations that follow.
