Dragon Coaster is about my Dragon which is bipolar disorder. I don't fight the dragon with a sword but with paper and pen. Sometimes I don't win. Mostly the Dragon leaves me alone and I get on with my life. Dragon Coaster On pins and needles, ripples through my soul, Fear grips my throat on the Dragon Coaster, up the long, long slope then screaming off a cliff.

I could describe the taste of orange juice for 100 years but you'd never know unless you gave it a taste. This book is good. It's over the top and under a hill. It will warm your heart and give you a chill, excuse me a second while I take my pills. It's about time and the space between my ears. I have written three other books. My books are all doing quite well. I'm thinking of a room addition in my...

Eternity Road We are on the road to eternity; some are closer to the end, some nearer the beginning. We are all on the road to eternity, whether we like it or not. Whether we agree with it or not, we are all on this road. It matters little. We are getting closer each day to the end of the road. Some of us expect to meet our maker, others see nothing at all. Some among us look toward a final reckoning. Or has your life been punishment enough? I cannot say what exactly is at the end of the road. I am a person just like you.
