'Waking Up the Phoenix' is the sequel to the novel 'Blackstone - Rising from the Ashes.' Where the first novel ends, this novel picks up. The primary characters are Simon Peterson and Nadia Livingston who in the first book experienced spiritual awakening big time. In this story that awakening is challenged and pushed to the limit. Take a walk on the dark side and watch how this saga turns out. It is a thriller.

'Blackstone - Rising From the Ashes' is what I call a 'paranormal love story.' It involves two people who fall in love, even though they have have different philosophical and spiritual beliefs. The road is rocky and filled with bumps and grinds that will eventually lead to some very life changing experiences. The story begins in the big city and ends in the small town of Blackstone. In Blackstone a Pandora's box is opened, and things are never the same after that. There is a stirring in the air. A shadow. A full moon. Then the curtain between now and eternity is torn open. The phoenix is consumed - the phoenix rises. Its ashes lay scattered.

This book is the third in a series of Blackstone novels dealing with the adventures of one Simon Peterson and his late wife Julia. In this story Blackstone comes face to face with a problem from their own history. Namely, who owns the land they reside on. Also, when a wrong has taken place, who is responsible for mending the wrong. These ideas are addressed in this novel. The world of the paranormal is wide open and things are not always as they seem. Come and see how this simple out-of-the-way town deals with some pretty heavy problems. And who will come out in the winners circle? As the late Boris Karloff used to say - this is a thriller!

'Laughing At the Gods' was originally written in 1991, re-edited for this publication. Following some of the beat poets of the early sixties, I ventured into my own world of words and images to create what was to become this book. I shaved away some of the awful wording in the original and replaced it was what I hope is better grammar and more polished wording. There are 54 poems in this book, and each has its own sense of being. I address both philosophical and spiritual questions but leave plenty for the reader to ponder.

Time Pieces is a compilation of some of my favorite poems that I have written over the years. The poems go back to 1973 to present and include many of my epic sized poems, along with some of my shorter and more personal poems. This includes 30 poems and covers a lifetime of writing.

This is a book of poetry that documents my experiences with being homeless back in 2009-2010. For two years I lived either in the cab of my truck, or in homeless shelters in the area. For being a home body, this was a whole new experience for me. At the end of two years I had accumulated enough poems for a book. These are those poems.

This is a collection of poetry dealing with life, love, spirituality, and the eternalness of everything. This is my first original book of poetry since my book 'Into the Dark Waters.'

'Running With The Moon' is the latest poetry from this up and coming author. In 58 poems the author generates a cosmic view of life as only he can. The poetry in this volume was the catalyst for his first novel 'Blackstone-Rising From the Ashes.' You are invited on a journey-a journey of words and images that will tweak your emotions and energize your soul.

This engaging narrative by a former mayor offers a rare inside look at the workings of city government under the strong-mayor system . . . the politics and personalities that shaped the growth of her town in a crucial period of its history. This book tells how Tomilea Allison accidentally became mayor of a small university town in southern Indiana. Shown a draft of the book, a resident, already familiar with part of the history, said she could hardly wait to see the next chapter. How would it all turn out? A professor called it an invaluable source for students of public and environmental affairs. In 1963 Tomilea Allison, a native Californian, was newly arrived in Bloomington, Indiana, as a faculty wife (her husband, James, was a professor in Indiana University's department of psychology) with two young daughters. A few years later she found herself in charge of Senator Eugene McCarthy's Monroe County primary campaign for president of the United States. In 1977 she was asked to fill a vacancy on the city council. In 1983, after the sitting mayor was elected to Congress, she was chosen to take his place and served for thirteen years.
