Controlled Crash: The Misadventures of a Young Sailor.
A Recipe for Misadventure: First, start with a plan, and it doesn’t matter if it is a good one or something scrawled on a bar napkin. Mix in some poor judgement, a dash of incompetence, sprinkle with ignorance, and be sure to add liberal amounts of alcohol if it’s available. A Misadventure will be guaranteed.
Parallel Streams:
The True Story of two men connected by blood and experience, bue separated by 200 years.
Would you find it strange if, after your house burned to the ground , you discovered that one of your ancestors suffered the same catastrophe and it happened on the same day of the the year as your fire?
Would you chalk it up to a strange coincidence?
What if you found eighteen such coincidences?
That is what I discovered when I dug deeply into my family tree. Parallel Streams is the result of that research.
Gwidi: A Wild Goose Tale
In the middle of the first millennium , A.D., the Celtic tradition held that the Holy Spirit was better symbolized by a wild goose, rather than a dove, because of the untamable, unpredictable, and disruptive nature of God’s spirit.
Gwidi, our protagonist, exemplifies that spirit in this urban fantasy where wild and barnyard animals talk and think like humans.
Operation Swanee
