Book Description
Wandering Dragons begins in a small village called Boksa, located on the banks of the Pearl River in Canton, China approximately fifteen kilometers southeast of Macao. The village was settled by Mongol raiders after breaking through the great wall. Happy with the area, a group of veterans banded together to create a new family and adopted the surname of ?Mah? in honor of their great horses. One evening, during a friendly game of chance at their favorite restaurant, an accidental homicide occurred. Friends of the murderer conspired to protect him by encouraging him to assume his victim?s identity. With few alternatives, the murderer chooses to abandon his family and flees with a friend to America. After a stop in Hawaii, they arrive in San Francisco in midst of the 1850 Gold Rush. Lured by gold, they meet other landsmen with similar ambitions and form an alliance to prospect for gold. They possessed no knowledge or prior experiences for prospecting or mining, but they were young, ambitious, adventuresome, and willing to gamble. The new alliance journeyed into the goldfields where they found success in a unique manner. Life became good for all until the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco when a few members of the alliance became victims. Life continued while new generations appeared. With the departure of a few members, they suddenly realized that they had unintentionally created a tontine to reward the last survivor.

Book Description
A collection of poems I've written over the years that until now, just sat around gathering dust and never seeing the light of day. The content ranges from pervasive thoughts to personal experiences to being completely fictionalized. The theme linking all of these poems together is love (or loss of love) in all its embodiments (from romantic to family to friendship to a love for a place or atmosphere.) Its been an interesting experience, going back and reading works I did years ago, reinterpreting them from a completely different mindset and point of view. It's a process that I think has led to some very interesting juxtapositions that I hope are just as interesting for you.

Book Description
Brave, bighearted... An absolutely absorbing book of challenging power, a story of almost unbearable tensions. A modern life played out against the chaos of "me" and the divine order of "we." Marie Dadisman The observations made in this work regarding the social impact of our current social strategies are poignant observations that beckon the reader to evaluate whether, or not, they wish to embrace and support our current paradigms for social order.

Book Description
Welcome back to Maui for this romantic drama about family, forgiveness, and what it means to build a future with the people who mean the most. The Last Aloha continues the binge-worthy saga of the Briscoe family. Ava and her children maneuver more changes as they run the pineapple plantation known as Pali Maui amid a myriad of complications. A surprise wedding…a renovation of the golf course fraught with issues, including a formidable lender who causes trouble…a loved one facing a serious illness. All this forces the Briscoes to reevaluate priorities and cling to what is truly important…family. Yet, these struggles pale against the impact of a coming storm with consequences none of them see coming.
