​The Stuff of Life

Years ago, the people of a planet near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy sent out ships whose mission was to seed planets with the stuff of life: single-cell animals and plants; eggs of reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish; and infant mammals.
The people’s purpose: to prepare these planets for their children.
Each ship’s crew includes at least one telepath.
In 2002, a telepath is born in the hospital at Fort Hood, Texas.
In 2015, he contacts one of these seeding ships.
This is their story.

A highly original idea portrayed very well. I loved the book! Cannot wait for the sequel. (Review on Amazon.com)

On Ty Ty Creek

Originally published as "The Gospel Truth." If you have a copy of that book, do not order this one.

"Sweet Potato Pie, Moonshine
and Other
​Southern Traditions"

A boy growing up on a farm in rural Georgia during the Great Depression of the early 20th Century faces a crisis of faith when his little brother dies. For the rest of his life, he struggles to reconcile what he learns from the church he attends with what he sees around him, including the racial divide, Klan murders, hypocrisy, abject poverty, law-breaking, and the different message he hears from his grandfather, preacher at the biggest church in Athens and who has his own radio program.​

For David Sasq, and for you and me, memories of the place where we first "curl our toes into the dirt," define us and sometimes haunt us. David's story includes two brothers, Calvin and Joey, on a working farm in Ty Ty Georgia. Joey is handicapped and David and Calvin help their parents watch out for him. The vignettes within the book contrast the boys' sense of fun and childhood pranks with the profound poverty of the Great Depression, and the cruelty of racial segregation. Explore the unforgettable characters and tales of Ty Ty, as David develops a belief system that sustains him even after his world shatters. (Review on Amazon.com)

Holy Fire

"Holy Fire" describes a dystopian future in which plutocrats, politicians, and preachers—whose only motivation is money and power—gain control of the USA. Their goals are, at first, similar enough to make them allies, but what happens when greed and lust overtake them? What happens when a few people, guided by the principles of The Enlightenment, rebel? Can they make a difference? Can they stop the forces of war, pestilence, disease, and famine-the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the Fifth Horseman--Climate Change--before it is too late?
​
​Holy Fire kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me an adrenaline high. One of the most memorable parts that was so telling: when Stafford called Beasley by his first name and Beasley could only think of himself and not their world crumbling beneath them. It was such a great example of homo sapiens in the midst of a Greek Tragedy. Thanks for the Good Read. (Private communication to the author)
