Book Description
Ride The Wind Laughing is an Illustrated autobiographical story describing the mystical events and experiences which contributed in major ways to my building a 51-foot sailboat in the back yard of my mother's home in rural Nova Scotia- an event which began with no money in an effort to test the Laws of Manifestation and prove to myself the efficacy and practical value of my years of spiritual training. Over a period of four and a half years, the boat, named Wind Rider, went from an imagined image, to a pile of lumber, and finally to a very unusual vessel to both live aboard and sail the oceans of the world. I don't, however, recommend the effort as a way to test the Laws Of Manifestation! It was more like a ladder to a fool's paradise when viewed from below, but when viewed from above, the journey itself was the reward. What any gargantuan effort of creativity does for the mind, heart, and body .. It does far more for the soul.

Book Description
Ride The Wind Laughing is about building a 51-foot sailboat almost single-handedly in the back yard with virtually no money-at least, it started out that way. It's about the mystical nature of the Laws of Manifestation . about how dreams and distant possibilities come into existence on Planet Earth. Over a period of four and a half years, a series of events unfolded that were far more interesting than the long hours of hard physical labor or the recounting of boring and repetitive tasks essential to any physical construction project. Working with the wonderful people of rural Nova Scotia, its fishing villages and small local businesses proved as interesting as the magical unfolding of events making it impossible to deny that life itself is controlled by some great invisible hand which has a vested interest in seeing Its creations completed and It's dreams fulfilled. At the age of 44, I had come to a second major crossroad in my life. The first occurred when I left behind the world of corporate business at age 35. The next 9 years were years of spiritual and religious training, and the study in detail of as many aspects of esoteric thinking as I intuitively felt led to greater and greater things. I finally came to the point where my questions all ceased. I had sound mental concepts and could talk the talk, but I had not yet walked the walk to the journey's end. Of what value was all this information, knowledge, and perspective I had so diligently obtained if it could not be practically applied? Ride the Wind Laughing is also a story about riding the winds of life with equanimity and contentedness despite the hardships of daily life. It's about perspective . about looking down on life much as would the student pilot on his very first flight. Once the view from above is attained, there's no going back to being land-locked again. Like the wind, this is a story you can feel. May it expand your perspective as it did mine.

Book Description
Denis Johnson's New York Times bestseller, The Laughing Monsters, is a high-suspense tale of kaleidoscoping loyalties in the post-9/11 world that shows one of our great novelists at the top of his game. Roland Nair calls himself Scandinavian but travels on a U.S. passport. After ten years' absence, he returns to Freetown, Sierra Leone, to reunite with his friend Michael Adriko. They once made a lot of money here during the country's civil war, and, curious to see whether good luck will strike twice in the same place, Nair has allowed himself to be drawn back to a region he considers hopeless. Adriko is an African who styles himself a soldier of fortune and who claims to have served, at various times, the Ghanaian army, the Kuwaiti Emiri Guard, and the American Green Berets. He's probably broke now, but he remains, at thirty-six, as stirred by his own doubtful schemes as he was a decade ago. Although Nair believes some kind of money-making plan lies at the back of it all, Adriko's stated reason for inviting his friend to Freetown is for Nair to meet Adriko's fiancée, a grad student from Colorado named Davidia. Together the three set out to visit Adriko's clan in the Uganda-Congo borderland—but each of these travelers is keeping secrets from the others. Their journey through a land abandoned by the future leads Nair, Adriko, and Davidia to meet themselves not in a new light, but rather in a new darkness.

Book Description
An Arrow To The Heart is decidedly not a standard conventional love story la Cupid's arrow! It's more like discovering too late that one's potential soul mate is equally attracted to a cat-a wildcat, to be precise- in the form of an 18 year-old daughter who is twice as precocious and desirable as her mother. It's a challenge for none other than a master of the universe, and that master is Jack Diamond himself-the Master of the Welded Bead and the lead character in the story which goes by that same name. It is actually a continuation of that story, written originally as a follow-on screenplay, but of such a different character as to demand its own title. The story is unique in that it demonstrates that no matter how advanced, developed, or experienced the soul, the vastness of the Event-Former's intelligence is always tossing a new combination of ingredients into life's cake to make the temptations of Satan seem like child's play next to the cake baked to tempt mastery's extended capabilities. What would you have done wearing the shoes of any of the story's principle characters?

Book Description
Ever since I started learning to play the guitar fifty-some years ago, writing my own songs and putting words to rhythm and rhyme has become a sort of hobby that I use to fill my spare time. Whenever I feel that some phrase, concept, or event in my life warrants expression in song or poetic verse, I sit down and work it out in the moment and then store it away in one of my notebooks. Over the years, and as my consciousness moves increasingly into spiritual things, expressing concepts poetically seems the natural medium for spiritual thoughts and feelings and thus my writings turn more to poetry and poetic prose. One day I decided to organize them into coherent order and only then did it occur to me that someone else might be interested in that which had flowed so effortlessly off the end of my pen over the years. There are roughly 40 poems, 19 song lyrics, 7 letters or stories, and six author's commentaries here between these covers. Hopefully, more than a few will be inspiring, entertaining, or provoking of profound thought. If, however there is just one that you read over and over again down through the years, this book will be worthy of its place in your family library.

Book Description
Here is a short story about a master of the universe (his own universe) who matches the greater freedoms of being a tradesman against the responsibilities and questionable rewards of a business owner or executive. Although he could be equally successful at either end of the spectrum, he chooses the path less traveled and becomes the champion of the less privileged and lesser developed souls in his world. An ex-US Marine pilot, ex-professional gambler, ex-family man, and professional master welder (among other things) Jack Diamond finds himself at opposite poles with his old Marine buddy, Don Hendrix, who owns the ship-building company where he works. Jack is never quite sure whether he's really in charge of all his circumstances or not. Only time and some dimension beyond his comprehension add substance to his experience, wisdom, intelligence and personal power-which never seem equal to the challenges placed before him. If you ever wondered how a well-educated, highly-intelligent soul would choose to move backward down the ladder of so-called success in an entertaining, challenging, and fun-filled manner, Jack Diamond will show you the way.
