With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, American citizens were promised a “peace dividend”, i.e. less money for war, more for peace and a good life for all.  The U.S. military under misguided leadership has attacked eight countries since then.  The defense budget has exploded, buying a lot of junk that doesn’t work and military hardware we don’t need.

This is not pocket change.  The fraudulent wars and waste by the military amounts to no less than $4.82 trillion!  This is money U.S. citizens paid as taxes in good faith, trusting their leaders were telling them the truth.  They weren’t.  They lied to us!  The $4.82 trillion was taken under fraudulent terms, and squandered.

Our “peace dividend” is now due and payable.  This equates to $14,952 for each and every living U.S. citizen.  A family of four will get a refund of over $59,800.  This short book explains how we can get our money back and put America back on a path of peace and prosperity for future generations.

Lenny Petrocelli had it made until his gangland bosses decided to set him up as the fall guy for a child trafficking prostitution ring.

If this gritty novel rings true, it’s for good reason. Petrocelli is based on actual stories from the violent and gruesome world of human trafficking, where millions of children and adolescents across the globe are held in bondage as slaves.

Prepare to understand contemporary politics as never before! Prepare to see the future of American democracy!

A recent study at Princeton University came to a shocking conclusion. Our system has been so corrupted by money and influence peddling, America is no longer a democracy.

This manifesto offers a detailed, step-by-step plan for cleaning up the corruption in Washington DC, replacing the current crop of pay-for-play politicians with progressive, independent, minor-party candidates, who will be bound by legal contract when elected, to faithfully serve the interests of the voting public.

This is electoral reform so radical that in one master stroke, it puts America on the path to a healthy economy and directly addresses its #1 and #2 challenges: the suicidal march to war and the destructive impact of a historically high level of wealth inequality.

This is the first of a trilogy, both whimsical without being frivolous and severe without being melodramatic. Mostly, it’s good fun! Poor Billy Green! When he was just turning four, his father tried to throw him in the trash. He was a smart kid but that just seemed to create enemies. His mom did everything to protect him. But this was Detroit, armpit of the wasteland! Catholic school didn’t help much, except the time he got his first kiss from an atheist nun. Home life was dismal. Was his father capable of anything but drinking beer and farting? And what was with that neighbor who made puppets and tried to molest Billy? Golly! Detroit was sucking the life out of him. At such a young age. Then adolescence swirled around him. Like water in a toilet bowl. High school was a B movie. Only without a plot. So finally he did something about it. Billy ran away … to college. Cornell University. That was a good move for sure! He studied hard, lost his virginity, met the love of his life. Things were definitely looking up! What could possibly go wrong? Isn’t that what we always ask?

With Book 2 of the series, the Billy Green saga continues! It’s a complicated, joyful, twisted, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always unpredictable journey. Billy is growing up and more determined than ever to find meaning in life and comfort in love. He’s discovering what it really means to be an adult.  Surely, no one said it would be pretty. He certainly had ample fair warning, growing up in Detroit. But nothing ever prepares us for some things . . . like a shattering loss of innocence.

How do we function in a world which is both as randomly and intentionally cruel, as it is randomly and intentionally kind? Can we make sense of our lives when so much around us makes no sense?

In this, the final book of the trilogy, we find out what it means to be a “man who loves too much”.  Even more importantly, we discover if Billy Green is such a man.

Democracy at both the local and national levels recently has been under savage assault. Martin Truth’s fight was but one of many such struggles to restore the meaning of representative government to a system that had been corrupted by big money and corporate power.

Martin Truth is a bright, young, idealistic, Green Party candidate, who in his bid for the congressional seat of a very conservative district in Ohio, teams with a beautiful, brilliant, fiery African-American intern to combat the slick deceptions and ruthless tactics of a sweet-talking right wing incumbent.

This is an inspiring story of a small, determined group of  committed activists who either never knew or forgot the meaning of the word ‘impossible’.

Using a unique and powerful strategy for throwing liars and crooks out of public office and restoring representative democracy to our country, politics would never again be the same.

Most importantly, An Unlikely Truth embraces the hope that not all is lost __ that there is a “narrative” which can begin to put America back on track, render government again of the people, by the people, and for the people.

An Unlikely Truth (Literary Vagabond Books) is now available worldwide in bookstores and online in every popular ebook format, and as a deluxe edition paperback.

In this contemporary satire of political intrigue and social chaos, a young man who escapes his hopelessly hayseed home town in Missouri is mistakenly labeled a terrorist and must survive a manhunt by government security agencies, in a paranoid and unraveling America. The president driven by desperation perpetrates an end-of-the-world hoax, attempting to re-establish some semblance of control and get himself re-elected.

This is social-political satire in the tradition of Jonathan Swift, Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller, but revved up and spit-shined to take on the historical new levels of absurdity and dysfunction of the 21st Century.

“Blinders Keepers is the funniest satire on the incompetence and buffoonery of government since Joseph Heller’s Catch-22.  It’s dark, it’s weird, but frighteningly no more ridiculous than the world we currently live in.”  –  The Boston Journal

Meet Noah Tass. Follow him as he tries to escape his hayseed hometown in Missouri.

Noah was turning 23 and desperate leave. Pulnick had forever been a septic blemish on the anemic face of rural Bible-belt America. Always bland and soporific, it was now being invaded by white supremacist meth heads, visited by an unprecedented crime wave, exploited by spiritualists and local politicos, and driven to hysteria by paranoid rumors that the world would end on November 11th.

Moreover, Noah’s personal life was becoming more convoluted by the day. Everything seemed to conspire against his singular need to get out of this dreary, dead-end, death-wish armpit of a town.

11 – 11 – 11  is what you call a feel good novel.

You’ll feel good about your own life when you get a load of the losers who populate this living graveyard!

12-12-12  is the story of a great nation falling apart and one young man’s quest for meaning in the midst of chaos. It takes the stuff of reality and pitches it to a high scream.

Open your mind but cover your ears. Knowledge is bliss but it’s loud and painful. Yet somehow still funny.

12-12-12  manages to tell it like it is by telling it like it isn’t. Granted, this is not what actually happened during 2012. But what unfolds is not more implausible. Nor is it less implausible. 12-12-12  is dark, ironic, witty, at times surrealistic and just plain weird. One reviewer calls it “laugh-out-loud brain food for hungry minds.

Much more than just a travelogue, 44 Days is an intimate dialogue with China’s peoples, their histories, regions, economies, cultures, work, foods and future. Unabashedly iconoclastic and a contrarian’s delight, Jeff brings down many a golden calf, as he writes as few travelers do – putting China’s relations and rapid arc of development in perspective with the United States and Europe, making 44 Days a fascinating and unique approach to today’s critically important world affairs.

Traveling over 12,000km by train and bus, walking hundreds more, while climbing a few of those in vertical ascent, join Jeff as he reports from the ground up on the greatest socioeconomic transformation ever seen, 21st century China – our planet’s soon to be greatest superpower. How will Baba Beijing, China’s central government behave, while honoring its 2,200 year old Heavenly Mandate for 20% of the human race? After 500 years of being masters of the world, what will the great historical Industrial Age powers do in response – adapt or lash out? All of our standards of living and lifestyles, even our species’ survival, depend on these soon to be events.

Funny, enlightening & with an eye for the right details, 44 Days provides unique perspectives to these new century issues. It will keep you amused and thinking, as Jeff takes you traveling in, across and over five wild and wooly Western China provinces, face to face with the local people. Includes 125+ photos, maps and charts.
