A Time for Courage

A Time for Courage is a captivating story of the lives of four soldiers struggling with their own personal convictions and human frailty at a time when the country is engaged in a great Civil War. 

In this book, you’ll meet the idealistic Private Madison Jefferson Payne, an eighteen-year-old black Union soldier who pens an inspiring letter that urges black men to join the Union army and fight for their freedom. 

You’ll ride with the dastardly Captain Daniel Barlow on secret missions behind enemy lines. You’ll have a front-row seat into his complex heart as he espouses the belief that black soldiers are inferior, and you’ll witness his secret that will be known only by you. 

You’ll sit with Lieutenant John Davenport, a former college professor who has found his lifelong passion in education, as he wrestles with internal conflict over accepting orders to start a school for black soldiers, a decision he knows is unpopular with many white officers or continue to fight in a war that only brings inevitable death and destruction to humanity. 

You’ll journey with Major James Hightower, a Confederate cavalryman, as he toils with leaving his terminally ill wife and young son to rendezvous with the legendary General Nathan Bedford Forrest and fight for a losing cause and a senseless war that could no longer be won. 

Destiny will bring these soldiers to a small, insignificant place called Fort Pillow near Memphis, Tennessee. On April 12, 1864, they will fight a little-known battle in which honor and survival hang in the balance, and the only thing that can tip the scale is their courage.

FORCES OF LIFE: PSYCHOLOGY: WHAT CREATES SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN

 

FORCES OF LIFE: PSYCHOLOGY:

WHAT CREATES SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN

Psychology, Counseling, and Education are at a “tipping point” on the edge of an active volcano. 

In America the suicide rate has gone up from 25,000 a year in the 1970s to 48,000 today, before the isolation of the Covid pandemic; even though we have six times more psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors today, and despite having 400% more psychoactive medication. We now have police in every school, something unheard of in the 1970s. The suicide rate among our young ages 10 to 34 has jumped to their second leading cause of death, second only to accidents (CDC). https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/index.html
Where did we go wrong? Why have psychology and psychiatry failed us so badly?
We are a nation of very unhappy people. Why?
For thousands of years, our doctors opened people’s veins and bled them to make them well. For decades doctors refused to believe the “germ” theory of disease; that tiny, microscopic organism could kill a big adult. Only after they repeatedly ran slam into reality, were they forced to change.
Psychology, education, and psychiatry today have run slam into reality. We are at that same tipping point. The ideas we learned from our textbooks do not deal with the serious issues of life. What makes for success? How can we deal with the problems of life? 
Yet, the press ignores this, not sensational enough to compete with the magical-mystical words like “DNA” or “magic pills” and ignored by our educational system who should be teaching how simple experiences in life become the forces that determine our life. 
So, what does work?
I am happy to announce that "Forces of Life", 345 pages, is now available on Amazon to cover the most important ways to prevent problems in our lives. You can find it by searching for the book ID: https://www.amazon.com/dp/173600252X

"Forces of Life" delves into the intricacies of mental health, offering profound insights and practical guidance to empower your journey towards emotional well-being. Through engaging narratives and transformative examples, this book provides a roadmap for navigating life's challenges and fostering resilience, and what leads to success in ourselves and our children.

Discover how "Forces of Life" can enrich your understanding of mental health and inspire positive change in your life, and lead to a form of Preventive Psychology that can be more effective than waiting until the problems suddenly confront us to do therapy.

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny

(Sci-Fi Galaxy Book 1)

LOVE AND BETRAYAL IN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER RIDE TO THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE.

Seven infants, conceived artificially aboard a rotating space habitat as an experiment to populate the solar system. 

A fugitive mother, anointed as an alien Priestess, determined to reunite with her children. 

A greedy mining boss set on conquering the planets and the loner who stands in his way. 

“If you like strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters, then you’ll love Jeremy Clift’s rocket-fueled narrative of romance and redemption.”

Competition for control of the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business triggers a fight for the resources of the Moon and a hunt for an ancient crystal that could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe.

The battle embroils seven infants incubated in a lab as part of an experiment to breed inhabitants off-Earth for future space colonies and sparks a race against time to free their desperate mother held captive by the power-hungry head of a global mining consortium and his shady doctor.

Only the fragment of a distant solar system discovered in a captured asteroid has the lure to win her freedom and unlock the children’s destiny. When a greedy businessman, an unscrupulous scientist, and a power-mad general all covet its remarkable energy, one of the children spies an opportunity to orchestrate the reunion they've long desired.

In the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson, "Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny" is a thought-provoking journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of "Interstellar" and "2001: A Space Odyssey," this sci-fi gem promises an unmatched immersive experience.
