Children's novelette - about a boy "Binton Clill" (a name derivative of Bill Clinton) who lives in the village "Hoffen" (German- "Hope") (the same name town Bill Clinton is from in AR) & falls in love with Princess Faith from the great castle "Sensho" (Japanese- "Victory").  Binton tackles the maze "Cinta Colorado" (Spanish- "Red Tape") for the reigning King George XLI (President George H.W. Bush).  The idea that the "red tape" has become more and more cumbersome thru' years of 'unchanged' ideology (hence King George I (Washington) thru' King George XLI (Bush) & politics neede a fresh change, Binton.  A tho't to change the King to King George LXIII (George W. Bush) and Obrack Bahama... but let me think on it.  The Hawaiian word "hope" means "posterior" or "deeds without a result" (I'm looking for good moral puns, not humor in my use of words).  Yes, I was a bit cruel by using King Ignoble III to represent King George III of England, but how ironic (not to mention confusing for a young reader) for his actual name to be King George?  I had to change it & with much toil I used Ignoble which means (not noble or deserving nobility).

A novelette for children about the Hughes family, main character- Melanie and her 4 siblings, and their humorous life.  This is the first of a series on this family.  None of the others have been started, but hopefully soon will be as this is a fun work to write.  In this story Melanie battles the diverse personalities of friends, family & even herself as she tries too hard & unnecessarily to make good her mistakes.  It's a look into the desperate mind of a child that believes she has not only ruined Christmas, but it is her duty do save it.

 

A novelette about a trial for WillyToad* regarding an escape attempt from his home on Mars on board a secret mission.  The work is written as news paper clippings on the trial.  It was a series of email I sent to friends/family while deployed to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1997.  At the end of my tour I put the email together to form this book.  Dubbed IPNS (Inter-Planetary News Service) as a working title, I later renamed it "News From The Red Planet" which was the subject line on my email.
