|  | | Confessions Of An Honest Man
The dynsfunctional Kantro family manages to turn out two criminals and two geniuses. The geniuses have saved themselves through loyalty to their creative muses.
CONFESSIONS OF AN HONEST MAN is a story of the way family violence can produce a strong and creative person. Growing up with a cruel parent can take a brutal toll on a child’s future. Emerging from these shadows into a thriving adulthood can be a long struggle. The novel begins in a suburb in the late fifties and carries the reader to the present time. My protagonist wants to be a jazz drummer. His mother seems to have one purpose in life: to stop him from getting what he wants. Music is a waste of time! Fooling around with instruments won’t get him into medical school. Mom will force h | |  | | The Gods Of The Gift
It's a universe where the populations of entire planets decide to amalgamate into
single beings. They become PlanetPeople from an ancient civilization, The Starwind Communion. The PlanetPerson Calakadon took offense some billions of years ago and has been pursuing and murdering the other PlanetPeople. He is taking their Puzzle Pieces, the powerful artifacts that make up The Puzzle Of the Endless Gates. My hero stumbles into a duel between Calakadon and Melolos. Calakadon breaks all the rules. He cheats and kills Melolos. Before he dies, Melolos asks my hero to promise to
stop Calakadon and recover the Puzzle Pieces. My hero is also a special kind of person. He promises.
This is an epic and weird sci fi novel in which a lot of bizarre concepts come together because the author himself is a bizarre concept.
Influenced by a variety of sources, such as Tibetan Buddhism, Kurosawa films and quantum physics, THE GODS OF THE GIFT is funny, moving and cinematic in a very druggy kind of way. It's not for everyone. It is destined to become a much loved cult book.
Whether that happens before or after the author's death is a matter of some interest to the author.

My wife Fox grew up thinking she was of Swedish descent. During a trip to her childhood home, her aunt revealed a family secret: Fox’s biological mother was a Native American, a Chiricahua Apache.
Fox and I had already been contemplating a drastic change of lifestyle. We experimented, got hands-on experience and did a lot of research. Swallowing our terror, we purchased a large motor coach and become full time RV dwellers. My wife’s sudden change of identity made journeys to the American Southwest imperative. She wanted to trace her family tree and experience the landscape of her mother’s origins. One of my motivations was to get to a dark sky. I love astronomy and make part of my living taking photos of night landscapes.
Our adventures were funny, compelling and a little spooky. Fox had stuck her toe into an eerie cauldron of Native American shamanism.
I’ve written a non fiction memoir that mixes travel with cultural commentary. The working title is AVOIDING POTHOLES: JOURNEYS IN A CHANGING AMERICA. Written in a novelistic style, the manuscript is complete at 85,000 words.
The Road Has Eyes is a travel-adventure memoir about a huge life transition. My wife and Iwere anticipating an economic crash and we wanted to get out from under expensive monthly payments. We purchased a series of RVs until wesettled on a 38 foot motor coach. We've been living in it for five years. We only wish we had made the change sooner.
My wife learned at age 48 that she was half Apache. It created a shift of identity that made us want to travel to the Southwest. I was motivated by a love of astronomy, and the fact that I was making h |
