Embracing God in the Right Perspective

Embracing God in the Right Perspective with the Right Foundation of Faith in Him…A Brief Synopsis

The   Word   of   God   shall   bring   forth   an   abundance   of   insightful revelations and joyful enlightenment to your heart and soul. The return of Christ is a certainty with His millennial reign on earth! Jesus is the Alpha (the beginning of all) and Omega (the end of all). This Book contains end times prophecy. Pray that you keep your spiritual vigilance. The future middle eastern war is coming soon. The days and seasons are all numbered in the Word of God and the prophetic timeline in His Word has been predestined since the foundation of this world.

This Book shall serve as a good text material for interfaith dialogue involving mainly Christians, Moslems, Jews and Taoists, or even Buddhists and Hindus. In many Christian seminars, speakers have relentlessly   bashed   Islam   and   other   religious   beliefs.   It   is   the preordained duty of believers in Christ to share the Gospel of Light to members of other beliefs with understanding and love.

I humbly express this Book as the priceless companion guide in studying the Word of God that shall bring forth healing to all souls throughout the nations on earth. All Glory be unto our Father God. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. God bless all of you! Amen.

The Moon That Fell from Heaven

The Moon That Fell from Heaven…A Brief Synopsis

Ehli-nikkalu, eldest daughter of the Hittite emperor, is married to a mere vassal of her father. But despite her status, her “foreignness” and her inability to produce an heir drive a wedge between her and the court that surrounds her. Her secretary is mysteriously murdered while carrying the emperor a message that would indict the loyalty of his vassal, and she adopts the dead man’s orphaned children out of a guilty sense of responsibility.

When a young cousin she has never met becomes a pretender to the throne and mobilizes roving armies of the poor and dispossessed, the priority of her loyalties becomes even more suspect. Then she discovers a terrible secret that could destabilize the present regime if the pretender ever learns of it.

With the help of a kindly scribe, her brave young ward, and an embittered former soldier trapped in debt and self-doubt, she sets out to save the kingdom and prove herself to her father… and along the way, learn something about love.

Vox Montague is no stranger to waking up hungover and naked.

The Grave Listeners

The Grave Listeners…A Brief Synopsis

A tale maudit set in a time when medicine was part superstition and partly an appeal to ancient authorities, and the prospect of being buried alive was frightfully more common. In that horrible situation, your only hope was that a Grave Listener sitting at your grave would be there to hear your cries for help.

In an old, poor village, on a cemetery on a hill, a loutish Grave Listener, an impish five-year-old boy and his little stuffed Bunny are up against a strange plague, a soigné stranger, and a frightened, vengeful village. It will be a depraved little journey, with all its Witchcraft, savagery and comedies of human nature, that tumbles to a towering end.

A Friend of King Neptune

A Friend of King Neptune…A Brief Synopsis

1991 ST LOUIS — Leo Kraszewski aka Dingus has come to visit his old army pal, Francis Lenihan, now a busy process server. It’s been 18 years but Dingus is still the same—impulsive, foolish, quick with a wisecrack, uncouth yet worldly.

Dingus leans on Francis to accompany him to Southern Illinois, the town of Bunting, where spoils from World War II—the Speer Collection—may lie hidden in a peculiar private museum. Francis declines and soon, after causing trouble in Francis’ ribald world, Dingus finds himself hitchhiking in the Illinois cornfields—an odyssey which has him nearly sucked into a tornado, having to deal with a suicidal Indian, a malevolent sheriff’s deputy, and a crew of wastrels who inhabit an old general store.

The story has legs as Dingus aka Hercules is given a task by Anselm, the museum’s curator and a stand-in for King Eurystheus of yore, to retrieve a stolen historical artifact. Dingus does Anselm’s bidding, at a dear price, and of course it’s never enough. Meanwhile Dingus’ court date for cannabis distribution looms. Will Francis wrangle a lawyer for his penniless friend? Will Dingus sort through various confusing clues and get his mitts on the treasure? And more importantly, when will he stop itching?

An eclectic cast of characters join in—a high school detective, the next Nancy Drew; a raffish voodooist; a scholarly recluse whose solitude is rudely interrupted, a bawdy masseuse, an angry rapper and his entourage, and the beer-soaked regulars at Murphy’s Tavern in Dogtown St. Louis. The usual suspects in an unusual story.
