Book Description
This first historical fiction novel of the life events of Jesus and his wife includes information about these two individuals from their situations of conception, birth, and up to the age of ten years old. All of the information in telling their stories has been carefully researched from religious writings, the Bible, other ancient accurate sources from anthropology, historical writing from their contemporary time, and ancient new writing discoveries about these two remarkable people and their life. It follows a guided rabbinic principle known as the halakic principle, which sews their stories together with imagination and careful research by the author doing so in a consecutive, cohesive, and conceptual way for the twenty-first-century reader. The stories incorporate accurate human behavior and progression of their development, which has not changed for us from the time in which they lived. If you desire a more accurate, realistic account of the man whom we know as Jesus, and his wife whom we know as Miriam, or Mary Magdalene, you shall attain greater understanding of them and our own post-modern selves.

Book Description
For most of us Christmas is the season of huge helpings of good food, good drink, and with luck, good cheer, as the rituals of cracker-pulling, present-giving and happy or sulphurous family reunions fizzle and bang through the long afternoon. For anyone who has ever had too much of it, or felt out of it, or wanted to be out of it, or even succeeded in being out of it then been unexpectedly rescued by a good friend, this book-length poem contains a lifeline of humour and sanity in a world run seasonally mad. It is a funny, subversive, melancholy, self-mocking conversation between two men - Paul and Frank - in the top storey flat of a Dublin apartment block; a Stations of Christmas under the influence of "woman-hunger". Once read, Christmas Day itself will never be the same again. The volume also contains a second new work, "A Goose in the Frost", a tribute to Seamus Heaney on winning the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Book Description
Many of us have had one bad holiday story they would like to share... this is one of them. Living in Southern California, strong Santa Ana winds are the norm. Combining them with a holiday can almost guarantee something good (or bad) would come out of it. In 2007, early Christmas morning, resilient Santa Ana winds took out power in several neighborhoods... the result being the creation of this book. This is a Christmas story not meant to be read to children on Christmas Eve but one that adults may enjoy sharing over a glass of eggnog or two.
