Sample Book Readings, etc.

For about 10 years, Amy and Chris lived in a new neighborhood with their friend and neighbor, the Professor. He wasn’t bothersome to anyone, even after he discovered that a destructive force was increasing beneath what was seen. The threat to his friends and others needed to be eliminated at all costs. If destruction came to the city, many would die, unless he responded with his experience and knowledge. An adventure was about to begin into the underworld with unexpected results.

An explosion within the sky was seen from a base on a desolate planet. After debate by government officials and scientists, three people were sent in a shuttle to investigate the anomaly. Even if their society was self centered and not aware of other life in the Universe, some wondered about the possibilities. Within their thoughts, the event was most likely a natural phenomenon or the destruction of one of their vessels within an unauthorized area, but other minor possibilities were more intriguing. None knew what to expect but what was found changed their perspectives and purpose. Helping their ancestors was more important than the truth from their distorted history.

While the sons and daughter of Amy and Chris were asleep, a strange flash of light appeared in the sky. They expected a normal day but they soon discovered something else. Their parents were missing without any explanation. None of the teenagers knew what to do. The only plausible course of action was to search for clues and then use their reasoning power to discover the truth. The only problem was that when they proceeded toward an answer, something unexpected happened. The beginning of the day repeated itself over and over again. They continued to awake in the morning with fragmented memories of their previous experiences, which hindered their efforts.

While the Librarian was training his new companion, problems were seen throughout the Universe. Instead of recording history, the computer brain was being used as a conduit for change. Statues were being torn down from one planet to the next. When historical perceptions changed, the heroes from the past were no longer needed with their flaws and racist tendencies. Many different kinds of intelligent creatures were revolting against the established order. Protests were occurring against social injustice. Waves of change were pounding the walls of normality for a new order. As the protests increased, violence escalated, not only from the protestors but also from the statues themselves.

While Professor Sachs and his assistants conduct an experiment for a better and more efficient energy source, an unexpected result occurs. A probe is sent into a vacuum chamber to investigate what happened and then transmit data to the laboratory. A change occurs, which affects everyone and causes a small town in Missouri to be invaded by an alien being. For nourishment, the creature must survive by absorbing energy from cellular structures and other sources, while searching for the purpose of its existence. The Sheriff, Doctors, and the Professor must destroy the intruder, before all energy signatures are absorbed and everything ceases to exist. With any decision.

The Professor, Betty, Amy, and Chris were being pulled into an anomaly, which was used by the Ekons to return to their dimension. When the aliens entered the fracture, they followed an energy string. Since their dimension no longer existed, a cascading effect occurred, which began to destroy their race. After the mission to Mars, the ones on the spaceship wanted to safely return to their home, but their choices were limited. As they tried to resist the external force of the void, alternatives were needed. Death or life was the only option for one or all. By manipulation, a path was taken, which eventually caused alternate realities. The broken mirror fragmented their lives. If the true reality wasn’t restored, their future and everyone on the Earth was jeopardized for the benefit of a new race.

My fifth book is a murder mystery. Strangers are invited to the estate of Samuel Cantor. He is dying and the inheritance is the their primary motivation. No worthy relatives exist to bestow his wealth. The common foundation in his twisted mind is that he despises the guests. All were offensive to his sensibilities in the past. He watches his experiment and enjoys the results. Shares will be divided between the survivors. Since no one can inherit, if he or she is guilty of murder, creativity must be used. Death is their choice. The greed of others is not his responsibility. A legacy is needed of his kindness and generosity. All are trapped and the only escape is survival or death before the truth is revealed.

My fourth book is a tribute to my favorite television western. The town is the fictionalized Mestonville, Kansas, in 1875. The law is in conflict with the most powerful and influential man in the area. When Luke March’s son is killed, his obligation is to protect his status and family. The Sheriff is torn between duty, Luke, and the members of the city council who are benefiting from the growth of the town with improper rules. Many want the status quo but others are settling in the area with different morals. Tensions rise as the conflict increases with misunderstandings and secrets, which are revealed. The survival of the town depends on the result of the conflict. The cost may be too high for everyone in either case.

Three people, Amy, Chris, and the Professor, are sent to Antarctica to investigate global warming and then experience strange occurrences. There is no escape, as disaster proceeds toward them. Death awaits, but new experiences overwhelm them. A discovery is buried within the ice, which will change the world and their lives, forever.

Times  were changing in Mestonville, Kansas, and a new path from the old ways  was needed. The new city council wanted to improve conditions and remove  corruption. The only man to handle the job was Lance Colton who was  removed from office about a year, earlier. Although he was reprimanded  for his indiscretions, he accepted the offer. The path was slow and  difficult. When three strangers arrive in town and then change their  appearance to avoid detection, a cascading effect begins. A Deputy and  another man were brutally attacked. The Sheriff pursues two of the men,  who were identified, and then encounters an old friend with another man.  Although the Sheriff tried to stay within the law, revenge overwhelmed  his emotions. He wanted the suspects dead, even if his badge reminded  him of fairness and justice within the law. Just as the town needed to  be cleansed of irresponsibility, so did the people. Superficial changes  weren’t needed from what was seen, if the inner sanctuary remained  intact.

With a man’s financial expertise, money was embezzled from a bank  with the help of his accomplishes. The plan succeeded without problems.  Years later, a trail of deception and murder was followed to find the  money and divide it equally. Others became involved. The initiator of  the crime, who was dying, controlled everything. Five keys were needed  to locate the money. With each key, the plan unfolded with unexpected  twists and turns toward an unforeseen outcome.

An alien race invades the Earth for their hunger and revenge. All  flesh must be absorbed. A stranger saves four people and takes them to  the time matrix. While they enjoy his hospitality, the aliens invade his  sanctuary. All realities are in jeopardy, unless the past is changed.  Three are sent back in time to investigate and prevent the disaster.  With any decision, interference could cause a change, which initiated  the nightmare.

A space ships lands on a strange planet.  On the alien world, two survive.  The cultures of both worlds will soon learn their differences from their past, present, and future.  Their destinies will soon collide and cause a better understanding of everyone's existence.

Exploration is within the Professor's grasp. Many of his students  call him a crackpot, but he is driven by inner desires. Neighbors are  moving, but his wife helps him with his endeavors. As his closest  friends try to understand his motives, the adventure begins. The survival  of the Earth depends on the results. The first journey to Mars is the  only hope.
