In this collection of poems, I explore topics of love, loss, connection, social injustice, and family ties. During the pandemic, there was a sense of loss within small communities, yet there was also hope. As a result of long periods of isolation, people found themselves thinking about their friends and family members and there was an increase in compassion and concern for others. Mental health concerns grew in number and severity, as did problems with substance use. Like never before, people began to yearn for the warmth of human contact.These poems try to capture the complexity of the human condition through recognizing that major events compel us to re-examine ourselves and our place in society.

The day hinted of spring long overdue. It was March 25, 1911. In Greenwich Village, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was on fire. Nell Walker witnesses young girls jumping to their deaths to flee the flames blocking their escape. The raging inferno kills 146 and sparks an ember in Nell that burns. She vows that the world she lives in must change-a world divided by class, color, and the desires of the heart.A brave, charming, yet fiercely independent woman, Nell leaves the comfort of her brownstone in New York City to reveal the desperate lives of women and children working in the stifling factories and canneries of upstate New York. Exposing herself to real danger, her reporting introduces her to the headline grabbers of the emerging labor movement and to a reporter with a camera who brings light and shadow to his work and her life.It is the dawn of a new century. A time when women marched in picket lines, shortened their hemlines, and fought to have their voices heard.Choosing Herself is Nell's story. Told in her own words, it is the tale of a woman playing the hand she is dealt and willing to take the gamble on where her life will lead.

Las Vegas, a haven for winners and a hell for losers. The glamour of the strip often hides the evil underbelly in a world people above ground seldom see. The tunnels dug under the city are home to some and a means of torture and death to others. In this world of broken and lost people the human traffickers, the assassins and people who are running from the law conduct their business. Their actions are cloaked by the darkness and apathy of the gamblers in the lights and activity of the casinos.In this mix we add evil, greed and murder. The evil is constituted in one man who pulls the strings and commands others to do his bidding. His reach is international and he derives sadistic pleasure inflicting physical and mental pain on others. In the pursuit of a serial killer Sergeant Rodriguez and Agent McMahon cross paths with this maniacal human trafficker. Red Rock Bleeds is the story of a Las Vegas you will never experience.

The inspired writings from this book, have come from my faith in Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit of Truth! Since my enlightenment (spiritual epiphany) took place in a dark time in my life, while facing a lot of issues, many may doubt the inspiration that the Holy Spirit had on me or these writings; yet, it is very accurate and appropriate to give God all the Glory! Before I started these inspired writings, I had no peace or direction. Now the peace of the Lord has not left me, and I feel born again; a true spiritual rebirth, through faith in Christ Jesus! Most of these writings are inspired, with very little thinking involved. They come all of a sudden and I just write it out, as it comes! Actually trying to express it to the readers now, forms a challenge to me. Trying to explain a spiritual experience, is not an easy task; yet, it is a beautiful experience to go through! I have had the pleasure of sharing these writings all over the world and receiving positive reactions from many people! This book is a compilation of many writings over a 5 year period. The writings in this book consist of many virtues to live by, through faith in Christ Jesus; as well as sharing the love of Christ with the doubters and steadfast believers. Moreover, it is about becoming that which you seek in the world, so you search no more! The spiritual truth is, we never had so much, until we gave it all away! It's the paradoxical reward of giving! Furthermore, my hope in putting this book together, is to reach more people in all kinds of situations and bring light into darkness for those who suffer; as well as make a good day better for many through faith in Christ Jesus!
