READ THE CONTROVERSIAL NEW RELEASE.
Bonfire of the Beasts is the most searing satire of political correctness ever.

Knot doesn’t remember how they came to live with Bigman, nor whether their name is actually Knot. Bigman calls, and Knot answers. Not a boy. Not a girl. Not getting any bigger over the past twenty years.
John Bigman makes enough money selling good weather to those who believe his claims of magic to keep the bank from taking the unfinished lighthouse where he lives in an uneasy truce with Knot. Bigman still bleeds where Knot bit him years ago, and they still sometimes try to stab him during arguments.
Most of the time, the two get along. Knot watches tv in their room. Bigman plays video games in his library. They go fishing, with Knot catching most of the fish and Bigman dozing among the mangroves that have infested their beach.
But Bigman is getting old. His control over Knot has been slipping. His strength was barely enough to foil Knot’s last attempt at running away. That was before Knot found allies, who have their own reasons for wanting Knot to escape from the lighthouse.

This book is about how we look at life: the glass half-empty or half-full. The name was inspired by Charlotte Joko Beck’s book, Nothing Special, Living Zen. It was written at an eight-day silent meditation retreat. It was the gift of silence, the time to just be, and a “room of one’s own” that allowed the writing to happen. It was written in between meditation sittings and walking. The prose and poems help inspire one to view life through a glass half-full. It speaks to passionate living, impermanence, imagination and the dark, evil, reincarnation, trust, peaceful rapture, dying/reconciling, and opening to the unknown. It is a reminder that “if we were meant to be perfect, we would not need this life experience.” As one poem states, “This book is not a how to. It is a reminder, A Remembering as we struggle along the way.” $0.99 on Kindle.

Did I fulfill my potential? Was I a good person?

The uncanny action unfolds in this beautiful comedy illuminating that although we come from worlds far apart, we share a common humanity.

A young woman with a little girl’s dream. Two handsome suitors. And an adversary determined to crush her before she stands a chance.
Lily Whistler has a dream, birthed from the fanciful Parisian memories of her late mother: to open a floral shop called La Fleur de Blanc, selling only white flowers. Back home in Kansas, such a fairy tale notion could never survive … but in the fashionable seaside town of Cielo del Mar, Lily has gambled her inheritance that it will.
At first, the lavish Palms Couture shopping center seems like the perfect place to start again. The weather is beautiful; the vistas of the ocean are breathtaking; the customers are elegant and wealthy. There are even two men who’d suit Lily’s fancy if she had time for romance: charming Len, who operates a fine food cart, and the dark and brooding Matthew Vitale, who runs Bella by the Sea — an elite restaurant that hosts only a few couples per night at an exorbitant price.
But the one thing Lily didn’t anticipate was a nemesis: Kerry Barrett Kirby, who owns an upscale furniture store across the courtyard. Kerry seems determined to crush Lily for a reason Lily can’t imagine … and has the power and connections at the Palms Couture to make it happen.
Lily only has one chance to make her shop work — a tall feat, considering the prior shops Kerry has driven out of business, and the way the Palms always bows to Kerry’s will. But Lily’s charm has bought her a handful of unlikely allies…and as Kerry will find out, quiet little Lily Whistler has more than a few country girl tricks up her sleeve. Free on Kindle.
