A Calamity of Souls
by David Baldacci A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacci My rating: 5 of 5 stars So there are a lot of books I’ve given 4-5 Stars to, but this book deserves ten stars. Baldacci has created a story that already existed, likely in many lives, but he unearthed it with great care, as Stephen…

Getting Back Up
A Manual For Men (but the ladies can benefit too!) I was doing well for several months but then was judgmental and stumbled. I also overdid something that upset the apple-cart, and in the end, I should have found a better way to cope. I was angry, frustrated and depressed, so I fell off the…

DMX’ Daughter a Mature & Brilliant Young Person
So, I saw this video today on NBC Bay Area news, and was very impressed with this young lady, who made insightful comments, sometime after her father, and two other relatives died in Fentanyl related tragedies.

Special Preview
Here is an excerpt from my upcoming new book, titled, The Energy Merchants, due out in 2024: Chapter 1 Running, the desert grasses splaying against my legs, I enjoyed the feeling of freedom and strength, the modicum of peace, and the illusion of invincibility.
