Oblique Journeys This novel takes us deep into the scars left by a war that tore the United States apart in the 1960s and early 1970s, a conflict that left an indelible mark on the youth who came of age in that turbulent era. While a work of fiction, the narrative touches upon the real emotions and struggles that many young people endured as they fought to make sense out of competing claims upon their loyalty and to satisfy the dictates of the...

This is an hysterical reworking of the author's memoir about growing up in the decades after World War II (Originally titled Ouch, Now I Remember). Infused with great wit and honesty, the story is one that delves deep into how culture both constrains us and yet provides the foundations for growth and development if, that is, one can break through the shackles that bind us. It leaves us with many laughs and a few tears. Amazon readers loved the...

Rereleased in February, this compelling story improves upon the work originally released as Casual Choices (4.4 out of 5 stars).

Joshua Connelly left of Canada and spent a lifetime seeking a resolution for his choice. A moving tale of relationships and redemption partially rooted partly in the autho...

I was born on January 22, 1951, after what my mother has described as a long difficult labor for both of us. In those days, fathers were normally not allowed in the delivery room, but because my dad was a medical student, he was able to witness my birth. After I was born, Mom was placed back in her room to recuperate. She stood up, and gobs of blood gushed out of her womb and landed on the floor. The anxious young nurse in attendance took the ...

The book itself is structured in terms of the big themes covered by my professional life. Thus, on occasion, it will look as if I am backtracking at the start of a new chapter. I am merely picking up the thread of the new theme at the point I began (or believe I began) to focus on a given set of issues. Unlike many academics that prefer to specialize, I was more of the dilettante who moved from topic to topic with the themes often overlapping ...

I would like to share some of the poetry in the photo album, entries in the journals at our beach place, postcards and also some letters I kept that Dad wrote to Mom while he was away from home. They are for anyone who might be interested. Maybe no one, but that's O.K. too. I want to include his writings in his own hand because they bring them more to life.

Hundreds of years ago, in the land of Uranallee, there was a very powerful wizard. He was the most powerful wizard the world had seen in many lifetimes. His name was Xyrene. He was tall and very thin. He was stooped over with age and from his lifetime of study and work in the magic arts. He had tufts of wispy white hair around his ears. He kept it short most of the time, but it had grown longer of late. He had neither the time nor the inclinat...
