"Cycling the Moon" is a full color illustrated satirical/funny science fiction book that has cross-over appeal to young adults and adults. It combines the humor of Douglas Adams with the allegorical facets of a C.S. Lewis book. The short novel makes fun of bureaucracy and our materialistic culture through a bunch of aliens. Within his small Southern town, a misfit, creative youth, Marty, whose father always wanted him to be more technical and whose mother always liked his creativity, finds a watch with a character in it that was thrown down to Earth by the Minister of Poetic Justice. The Minister of Poetic Justice, an executioner-like alien from a distant moon with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth-style leathery helmet, has shrunk down a time traveler, Tempus Fugit, and has put him in the watch as punishment for his trying to turn his entire moon into a time travel device. After Marty finds this watch, various adventures and misadventures ensue.

The sister and brother team of author, Dianne. R. Swann and illustrator, Willie L. Buckhanon Jr. collaborated on My Dad Is Not With Us. Both Pell City, Alabama natives, the siblings spent the majority of their childhood being raised by a single mom (the late Mrs. Frances Nell Swann Buckhanon). My Dad Is Not With Us explores the questions a child has to answer usually as early as in the sandbox about an absent father. A child is immediately singled out in preschool as different if his dad can't come and read to the class or if his mom shows up to every school event and dad never does or even if his mom never shows up because she has to work to provide for the family. Questions are asked by the other kids and administrators. Only a kid who once had to answer these questions can testify to the stress and pressure of a child who has to answer them in the future. The author and the illustrator were once this kid.

Thirty years before Henry VIII began the systematic destruction of the English monasteries, the wealthiest religious community in the country is under attack from a greedy Italian Cardinal and a Spanish assassin charged with eliminating one of the young monks whose very existence threatens to undermine the fragile alliance between England and Spain. The Bastard of Glastonbury tells the story of BROTHER THOMAS, a young monk, surrendered to the brothers at a young age, whose life is threatened by those seeking political and economic gain in England's new regime. Thomas, with the help of an older couple and a troubled young woman, escapes the abbey just as his enemy discovers his identity. Hoping to get Thomas on a boat to France as soon as possible, his protectors rush him to London only to be overtaken by his enemies at the last moment before departure. A vicious fight ensues on the dark wharfs of the Thames River, and Thomas's escape comes at a heavy price.
