|  | | A Flicker From Afar
Ever since the first stories about aliens were written, the “what ifs?” have been explored. Suppose there were intelligent beings observing earth from another galaxy? Would they view the inhabitants of this world as inferior? Would their interests serve mankind or themselves…or both? A FLICKER FROM AFAR captures the flare of the old 1950’s science fiction movies viewed on Saturday afternoons when life wasn’t as hectic or complicated. In the story, life on earth is about to change dramatically as man’s penchant for violence is leading to mass destruction. All live with the harsh reality of impending world war, the disease, starvation and death brought about by man’s thirst for power. But another force, representatives of an alien civilization, arrives to take control of earth. What are their motives? Do they come to save or to conquer?
| |  | | A Twisted Nod
After a failed relationship, Amanda Jackson returns to the small town she’d fled in her youth—a town full of secrets and lies. Amanda is drawn to a former childhood acquaintance, Scott Flynn, who has secrets of his own. They become entangled in a web of violence and murder that threatens to destroy more than their love.
| |  | | Auntie
Ashley Mackintosh is living the perfect life---a great job, a long-term relationship, and a nice house. Her world suddenly changes with a mysterious invitation from her Aunt Judith, an aunt she hasn’t seen since her father’s death. She knows nothing about her father’s family, and now she is, unwittingly, being drawn into a world of “immortals.” A journey beckons that only she can take. In a world of mystical truth, the spirits of those that were sacrificed slowly invade her mind. Judith is desperate to bring her niece back into the Mackintosh realm, and the invitation is their only hope to ensure her cooperation. Ashley is about to inherit a fortune, but there’s a catch---she must go to her aunt’s and take part in a type of Celtic ritual. Ashley must decide between the life she has now, or a life of riches and immortality. When the truth is discovered, Ashley is forced to cross the line between good and evil. A power play between the forces of the universe ensues. A web of intrigue, forged before time itself, traps Ashley in the ancient ways of the Druids, and in a battle with the forces of evil that yearn for her very soul.

That Which Was
(from the author’s anthology, Life As Prose)
From the beginning all was known
Eternal life placed above self
The true light that never ceases
Felt deep within and longs for
THE WORD
But only those born of God
Find victory in overcoming
The world and that which was
Still thrives
Amid thorns of humanity’s
Evil planting for nothing is lost
That can’t be saved so
To this each day is given and a promise
For the faithful that
There is a blessed life awaiting
And one must “be”
Befo | |  | | Finlander
It is 1916. Russia and Finland are playing their age-old game of “cat and mouse”—each Finnish village has its own rules and social mores—life is harsh and uncompromising—and most of the inhabitants will hang onto their birthright until the bitter end unless their choice is taken away. This is the harsh reality of Kaarlo Heitala’s world but he, through fate, is forced to leave his beloved country and begin a new life in America during one of the bloodiest times in world history. Finlander becomes an odyssey of man’s place in life’s continuum and how one man can touch the lives of many and prove that each individual truly does have a story—a story of inescapable courage and determination.

Anthology of 3 plays: ONE SUNDAY, WARTS, and SCARLET SAGE.
ONE SUNDAY
A family’s life in perspective discovered on a quiet Sunday filled with anguish. A day that will expose true feelings and the utter desperation the family carries within their souls. A time and place that simmers with the anger of lost youth.
WARTS

SCARLET SAGE
Enter the world | |  | | Scarlet Sage
The world of psychiatry is a journey into the nether corners of the mind. To his patients and colleagues Doctor Clifford Cowen represented the highest values of the psychiatric field. All paid homage to the man but one—his friend and colleague, Cindy Pietila. But when Cowen began to unravel, Doctor Pietila, against her better judgment, agreed to take him on as a patient—a mistake that will lead her to expose a brilliant mind tormented by demons she’d never fathomed. If she fails in her treatment, not only will her career be on the line but her life as well.
| |  | | Sunday's Rose
Spiritual. The one word that settles into the mind upon viewing the land—a land that would remain vast and beautiful but shapeless to the mind’s eye—land to be held with reverence always, as if the inhabitants were overcome by a spiritual essence. This was how the wealthy Rose family felt about their plantation. The year 1859 found Sunday Rose, a child of the South and only daughter of Edward, dreaming about travel and true love. In the wake of a brutal assault, her parents are forced to send her away to live with her wealthy grandparents in New York—a city in transition. It is there that Sunday discovers herself and finds the man who will help her to heal as the Civil War changes her life forever.

When reporter Whitney Noland learns that she has cancer, she decides to do an in-depth investigation on researchers who are seeking the illusive cure to the deadly disease. She follows a trail of deception and wealth that leads her into a secret society composed of self-perceived “fellow servants”—a society that, if exposed, would change the world of medicine forever. As Whitney desperately struggles to escape her fate, a web of murder and intrigue draws her deeper and deeper into this underworld of power and greed.

A life's journey expressed in an anthology of 231 poems.
Example Poetry
God’s Love
Could be the master plan
To this life of questions
Is to know the stilled waters
And, like a child, see the golden truth,
Not covered by excuses or regrets
But grows silently in the heart
As freely as ivy clinging
Filling the spirit
With righteous prose,
Lighting paths that once held darkness
Forgiving others and yourself,
As God’s love forgives all.
The Day Grew Tired
The day grew tired
Lost among empty hopes
And sour dreams,
Never to fade
Growing as questio | |  | | Ugly Opal

Ugly Opal calls out as she crosses back into the fragile world of her youth. A journey begins that awakens her soul to complete awareness of life and what it truly means to understand and to forgive.
