Book Description
A Lakota grandmother’s vision received from the Great Spirit leads to the seeking of retribution for the federal government taking Lakota bottom lands along the Missouri River in order to dam the river. Her grandson takes up the cause but is met with the evil forces of lies, racism and judicial injustice. Compassionate lawyering and the caring of a white girl seek to right the wrong that put Charlie Red Tail in prison four years for a crime he did not commit, and to defend him on a bogus charge of murder. Johanna Johnson fell in love with him along the way, but Charlie wasn’t sure he was entitled as an Indian to such feelings, although his heart wanted it to be so. As their caring for each other grew to mutual love, court rulings and a surprise confession of guilt freed up the couple to plan marriage and the serving of the people on the Horse Creek Reservation. Then, tragedy struck. The lawyer who obtained a reversal of the sham rape conviction against the innocent Charlie and helped fight the murder charge when hanging around Charlie Red Tail’s neck, was himself a victim of the prejudice and hate of some in Indian Mound County who again took their sense of justice into their own hands. The young couple vowed to be as strong as their love and pursue dreams of better life than the past had been for each of them and those who stood by their sides during the hardships suffered.

Book Description
The inspiring, dramatic, and heartwarming true account of an escaped convict and his wife of thirty-five plus years who never knew his secret, which captured the imaginations of millions on Humans of New York. Bobby and Cheryl Love were living in Brooklyn, happily married for decades, when the FBI and NYPD appeared at their door and demanded to know from Bobby, in front of his shocked wife and children: "What is your name? No, what's your real name?" Bobby's thirty-eight-year secret was out. As a Black child in the Jim Crow South, Bobby found himself in legal trouble before his 14th birthday. Sparked by the desperation he felt in the face of limited options and the pull of the streets, Bobby became a master thief. He soon found himself facing a thirty-year prison sentence. But Bobby was smarter than his jailers. He escaped, fled to New York, changed his name, and started a new life as "Bobby Love." During that time, he worked multiple jobs to support his wife and their growing family, coached Little League, attended church, took his kids to Disneyland, and led an otherwise normal life. Then it all came crashing down. With the drama of a jailbreak story and the incredible tension of a life lived in hiding, The Redemption of Bobby Love is an unbelievable but true account of building a life from scratch, the pain of festering secrets in marriage, and the unbreakable bonds of faith and love that keep a family together.

Book Description
In this tender-hearted debut, set against the tumultuous backdrop of life in 1973, when homosexuality is still considered a mental illness, two boys defy all the odds and fall in love. Now in paperback. The year is 1973. The Watergate hearings are in full swing. The Vietnam War is still raging. And homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness. In the midst of these trying times is sixteen-year-old Jonathan Collins, a bullied, anxious, asthmatic kid, who aside from an alcoholic father and his sympathetic neighbor and friend Starla, is completely alone. To cope, Jonathan escapes to the safe haven of his imagination, where his hero David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, guide him through the rough terrain of his life. In his alternate reality, Jonathan can be anything: a superhero, an astronaut, Ziggy Stardust, himself, or completely "normal" and not a boy who likes other boys. When he completes his treatments, he will be normal—at least he hopes. But before that can happen, Web stumbles into his life. Web is everything Jonathan wishes he could be: fearless, fearsome and, most importantly, not ashamed of being gay. Jonathan doesn't want to like brooding Web, who has secrets all his own. Jonathan wants nothing more than to be "fixed" once and for all. But he's drawn to Web anyway. Web is the first person in the real world to see Jonathan completely and think he's perfect. Web is a kind of escape Jonathan has never known. For the first time in his life, he may finally feel free enough to love and accept himself as he is.

Book Description
Justice for Love is a story containing portions of the author's real life intertwined with fictional creativity. It is a story that tells about fear, love lost, hope lost, confusion, and the loss of innocent's treasure and oneself, but it is much more. It is a novel that tells about laughter, happiness, hope, trust, respect, and overcoming what others meant for destruction. Ann's past slamming into her future involving a murder contract, stolen innocence, stolen wealth, and secrets haunted her, but would her future be filled with hopelessness or with blessings? Most importantly Justice for Love is about life's most embraceable blessing - LOVE. As Ann discovered during her life's journey, when life seemed hopeless, embraceable blessings are found in the most unexpected places, most unexpected ways, and with unexpected connections with others. Justice for Love is about life's most valuable gift - the gift of love - both earthly and Heavenly. As an author, writing was my personal fight against many of life's punches when my life seemed to be in hopelessness limbo. Writing was a way for me to escape, although temporarily, out of my life and into someone else's life. The second section located after the Justice for Love novel is titled Reflections and it is my reflections on my personal fight against many of life's punches. Reflections is a short synopsis of my life's journey, a journey that can be used to our advantage in many different ways and for many different outcomes. Reflections is not only my reflections of my yesterdays, it provides insight to see beyond hopelessness with a glimpse into our tomorrows for more hope. I did rise above the multiple murder attempts and beatings. We are to not let our past overshadow our today and our tomorrows. We are to rise above the shadows of our yesterdays.
