Fueled by destroyed furniture, food follies, bizarre accidents, and near death experiences, the fire spread to every corner of their lives. They experienced both the pleasure of seeing unloved and damaged dogs be made whole and healed by the love of a family and the love of other amazing dogs, as well as the hardships of having to make such great sacrifices to give them what they needed to grow in strength and joy.
They also experienced the happiness of watching a dogs spirit be lit up by life, along with heartbreak when it was extinguished by death.
Forty-plus dogs later, they’re still living a life dedicated to canine rescue and what it means to live by the Buddy System. Free on Kindle.

Free: Love Conquers Cancer
Ours is clearly not the only story out there. With the declaration of a single word, cancer, we joined the ranks of an army far larger than the world has seen. As Lenny and I walked the path of diagnosis and treatment, something became increasingly unclear. If so many millions are facing the same enemy, how is it that we have not yet conquered it? This question launched us on a quest: to beat cancer no matter the method. Along the way, we realized our goal was not only to see Lenny healed, but to also help others to pursue and discover ways, both traditional and alternative or unconventionally, to fight and conquer cancer. Lenny has undergone and had traditional treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and as it is does not currently have a cure within the U.S. medical world, he has also undergone many alternative treatment methods some that are beyond our borders. It was these alternative methods that he has experienced the greatest victories.
Our seventeen year journey has not always been a graceful one. I’ve also battled depression along the way, and as Lenny’s wife and primary caregiver, this has many times proved challenging for our family. This is a story about grit. It is a story about refusing to accept the status quo, the statistics and above all else, refusing to give in to a disease that has ravaged the world for far too long. It is our hope and prayer that the research and the steps that we have taken would encourage you to be your own health advocate and realize that there are many more alternative options available to you besides the chemotherapy, radiation and other pharmaceutical methods. May the pages that follow provide you with practical knowledge, indestructible determination and absolute hope for your story. Free on Kindle.
The Three Kitties That Saved My Life
Free: My Different Orient: A Memoir
When you see the world, the world sees you.
Dietmar Vogelmann left his country years ago and took a chance, starting a new life in Vietnam. Luckily, his experience in hotel management got him hired at a 5-star beach-side resort, but his initial impression was less than favorable. In fact, he wanted to leave as soon as he arrived.
But something made him stay. Maybe it was the friendly native population who welcomed him with open arms, or perhaps the endless business opportunities he could see in this small country brimming with potential. It took years, but Vietnam eventually lived up to its magical reputation and changed his life in more ways than one.
Through the success and failure of various business ventures, Dietmar learned how determination, a strong work ethic and the support of a loving family can overcome any challenge and desperation. My Different Orient exposes the good, the bad and the ugly side of a life abroad. Free on Kindle.
