It is time that children hear the fine things the birds say about them. I assure you I am breaking no confidences the birds sing out their praise. This volume contains a selection of pictures of birds and their kindly rhymes to be read at bedtime, over breakfast, with your tea or any old time that seems right. The power of knowing the commentary of the birds will let your spirits...

This is a true story.  This is not a story for children and please don’t let the pictures confuse you into thinking that there is much niceness in this book.  In fact I only include the pictures because that is what I see when I tell this story to myself.  And just so you know, I am only telling you this story so I can ask you a question.  It’s all right if you can’t answer the...

This is a poetic testimony to the trespasses that life makes on the living. When the ballast shifts losing precious stability and sometimes even more than that I hope you find here a hand to hold and a shoulder on which to rest your head. When enthusiasm runs thin and motivation seems scarce my wish is that you come to these pages and find whatever it takes to move you forward...

There are bright days and dark days among this plethora of poems. I hope here you will find a companion for the broad vistas and tight corners in your own life. These are poems that were lost in my prose and found by the discerning eye of Winnie Jenkins and teased into shape by her loving hand. I want to thank my mother for advocating for my poetry even when I had turned a deaf ear...

One-Liners to Live By
Feb.22.2009
One-Liners to Live By is a dream taken away and brought back as something far more beautiful. When I wrote Sober on the Way to Sane I intended for the pages to be cut so that the suggestions could be flipped through and chosen at random; fortune cookie style. Instead of this impractical format what I have had the opportunity to produce is a book of whimsy and art. The readers of...
Congenial Chronicals: Two Books Living as One
Feb.07.2009
Congenial Chronicles is a new home for two sweet little books who are, too small to exist on their own, so I have paired them in this volume and added a few of my favorite illustrated sayings as well. Cala Mae: Just because you don't fit where you are doesn't mean you don't fit somewhere. Even if no one agrees with you that doesn't mean you are wrong. Find the peace to be where...

My Sponsor Said...
Dec.29.2008
This is a book of dialogue between a sponsor and the sponsee. These conversations are by turn, funny or solemn, heart felt or taunting, but always with a focus on finding the truth and acting upon it. Sponsorship is often the bedrock on which a sober life is built. Sponsorship forges the links of the chain which binds one recovering person to one another. Sponsorship is floatation...

Elissia: Queen of Carthage

Tragic loss is the theme of this book of poems. There is no place as safe as a blank page to pour the contents of a grieving heart, within this volume you will find the Rorschach test created from the blood and bile of a life torn in two. This is not a joyful tomb but it is testimony to great love taken through ravages of undisclosed mental illness.
