Fate never calls us at a moment of our choosing. My writing is in answer to the voice which asks, "Now that you know, what will you do?"

Writing for me is a compulsion. It begins at about 5:00 a.m. and continues throughout the day and night. I write almost every day about something. Working on my next book projects and expanding my web presence is what I spend most hours doing. When I can't sleep, I write. When I can't write, I sleep.
I didn't intend to become an author, in fact I've done everything possible to avoid it. When my Creative Writing teacher in college pulled me into her office and urged me to exit the engineering curriculum and become a writer, I wrote her off. When my exposition teacher gave me an A+ on my final paper and then wrote, "I expected more from you." on the last page, I wrote that off. When I found myself analyzing the work of published authors, it didn't occur to me that I might have a gift. Finally, I was sent a message that I couldn’t ignore, a plea for help from my countrymen.
Not that most people realize I have been called to write in this way, a calling that reaches the core of my soul. Indeed, most people walk around quite oblivious to what I see most clearly as a different future reality than we are told will exist. It is only scholars and those few individuals who study history and economics that see a clear picture of America’s future. I read their scholarly works, but most people I talk to yawn at the prospect of such tedium.
My writing seeks to be a bridge between those scholars and the rest of us. I write to open eyes. I write to open hearts. And, I write to educate in a way that laypeople can see the future uncluttered by the hypnotic bleats of propaganda that are so prolific in our world. I write to awaken that which is asleep.

Accidental Felons
Maricopa County is a place where first-time DUI offenders can find themselves facing thirty years in prison, where parents can find themselves woken up in the middle of the night, their bedroom filled with armed men and drawn guns, their home being invaded after the County Attorney suspects their child of viewing porn. The sheriff’s challenger in the last election woke up one morning to find himself defending allegations that he had raped his mother. And, the prior County Attorney, a Conservative Republican, ran television ads asking people to vote for the Democratic challenger of the existing County Attorney.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio and County Attorney Andrew Thomas are the two most controversial lawmen in the United States today. They both reside in Maricopa County, Arizona, where their respective departments are fraught with lawsuits and investigations of wrongdoing — all at taxpayer expense. Yet they remain defiant that their ultra-rightwing form of Western justice is what the American people want.
This story takes you through the heart-wrenching experience of one suburban family’s tragic encounter with Maricopa County justice soon after having their second baby. It shows how the Maricopa County Prosecutor abuses mandatory minimum sentencing to manufacture violent criminals out of ordinary citizens, and it exposes the dangerous truth about Sheriff Arpaio’s
infamous Tent City found nowhere else.
