  • WITH BOOKS WE TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD: Go to exotic Ecuador, South America in the 20th Century with, Defiance and Redemption, A Lifetime of Unbroken Bonds. This fictional novel, which readers have designated "a page turner,"  is based on a true story of three women in the author's family who loved and supported each other for 80 years. Their thirst for adventure, and their courage, helped them overcome feminine oppression. They defined their own lives, and changed the future for the next generation! (Available in Spanish).
  • BOOKS MAKES US A BETTER PERSON: We learn about ourselves by reading informative books. This why I wrote Heart Magic, Keeping Love Alive & Well,  a small, easy to read, guide book  for those  who want to find and maintain a healthy, loving, and lasting relationship.

  • BOOKS TEACH US  EMPATHY; In Scrapper's Christmas Story  an angel tells the tale  about how a street dog's longing for love and a family, and his good dead, gets him a home on Christmas Day!
