Book Description
In the Nevada desert, in the near future, a brilliant biologist and single mother named Naomi Chiang sets off a chain reaction that threatens to bring the networked world to its knees. When her seventeen-year-old son, Colt, who spends most of his time in the comfort of virtual reality, secretly releases her latest findings—a process for regrowing human tissue—Colt’s estranged father crashes into their lives again, backed by the secretive security organization he heads. The U.S. government wants Naomi’s research . . . and her son, who must leave the virtual sphere to discover the pleasures—and pains—of a life fully lived. Page-turning and thought-provoking, Connect is a whip-smart novel that explores what connection—both human and otherwise—might be in a digital age. It is a story of mothers and sons; but it is also about you, your phone, and the world to come.

Book Description
Chétan is a Native American historic fiction novel, narrated through the spirit voice of a Shawnee Elder. The depth of spirituality Native Americans possess is very real, they live and breathe Mother Earth, Father Sky, and the Great Spirit, creator of all things. They honor the four directions from whence each changing season comes, they honor the spirit fires that burn brightly to carry prayers in rising tendrils of smoke. Their vision sees to the Big Bear constellation and beyond. All living things must be respected, the medicines that grow wild, fish that swim in winding rivers, animals and birds that cry out in the full moon's light. 500 Nations hear eagles cry from mountains high, the sun is the giver of all life. They sit with patience and watch and listen, for it is whispers in the trees they hear clearly, the breath of wind carries the spirit of ancient ones who forever guide the hearts of Native Americans. Mother Earth will shake with rage if she is angered, she must be honored, her beauty must be respected. If you love Native American culture, hear the songbirds voice of the Shawnee language as it floats with the touch of a feather from turning pages. This story lifts from the history pages of time, the characters are fictitious, but Native American culture will forever carry on the beauty of a timeless tale. This is a story not to be missed, it carries the heart and soul of the author.
