Kate on the Kindle
I am very pleased to announce that after only a mere eight years in development, the novella Kate is available for purchase on the Kindle. The process has been rather long and difficult but well worth it.

A World We Will Never Know
If our moral duty is to help prepare our children to live in the future without us — how are we able to sustain that teaching without a place in that world?
An American Election
If you live in the United States, and if you are registered to vote — we urge you to stand in line all day if you have to, and cast a vote for Barack Obama — to win back what was lost.
