Part of the Two Spirit series:

So, you suddenly find yourself in someone else’s head. Of all the rotten luck, it’s a teenager’s head. You see through his eyes, hear through his ears, feel through his skin, etc. Where did your life go? Your memory is gone too. You don’t know who you are or were, don’t know where you came from, don’t know your name or your parent’s faces, and don’t know how to get out of this kid’s head. This teenager controls everything. At least you and he can think thoughts back and forth to each other. Of course, that freaks him out a bit because you’re in his head, but he’s adjusting. Typically, he won’t listen to any of your advice. How the devil did this happen? Can it be undone? If so, who would you be . . . err. . . had been. You get dragged through high school, meet his cute, smart girlfriend and his dope smoking buddies. He talks about the voice in his head, and EVERYONE wants to help. Oh great! You two start sharing dreams. You get the incredible urge to travel west. Can you convince him to go? And what happens if you don’t get this all figured out before the dream’s countdown clock strikes zero? Somebody help!

This Young Adult coming of age novel gracefully crosses a psychic telepathic mystery with mental-space opera adventure to achieve one of the most unique, distinctive, and rare stories available today. Featuring two strong male protagonists (Von and Director Guy) living in one body along with the intelligent, beautiful girl friend, Julia, who assists in unwinding the entire mystery, we have a story that takes us through ESP, peer pressure, exorcism, LSD, voodoo, and even time travel. Hang on because it’s a FUN trip. Enjoy.

The Dragon's Eye Black Hole - cover
Part of the Two Spirit series:
Patrice Gailart, astrophysicist at University of California -- Santa Cruz, is leading an evening class on Mount Hamilton using the Shane telescope at the Lick Observatory. She and her students are to observe Pluto and its main moon, Charon. But they watch in horror as both Pluto and Charon are destroyed right before their eyes. The very current date is August 1st, 2024. Patrice discovers that a four-foot diameter black hole with one and a half times the mass of Saturn is the culprit. She asks the obvious, "Trajectory. Is it coming at us?" Her responsibility is to alert the world. But on almost the same day, the Supreme Court rules the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, excluding nearly seventy-five million people from government provided health care. The lack of health care dominates the news cycle. Although a few scientists and experts heed Patrice's warnings, many protest the Supreme Court's decision and some see Patrice as a government hire to scare demonstrators off the streets.
Though this novel is science fiction, it is more science than fiction. No flying saucers or time travel here. Just the occurrence of a real scientific possibility. Questions abound.
Where did this thing come from? Why didn't we see it coming? How much time do we have before it nears Earth? Can we alter its trajectory? What damage could it do? What are gravitational waves? Will this four foot diameter black hole fall into orbit around the sun? Can Earth survive? If so, what of the rest of the solar system? Will it take out the sun? Are we going to die in mass on the same day? And of all the times for Patrice to come upon a new love interest.
The tension mounts as Dr. Patrice Gailart slowly reason her way through each question before her and humanity ponders multiple plans. Read the book and you too will be amazed at where the science of our times can lead.

Thoughtful Places

Louis Kendall Broussard Sr.

Who, when in a pensive mood, does not revive past events, old friends, and happy times, to bring these into the present lest they be lost into the void of forgetting? Let me breathe the air of my yesterdays, let me trace the paths I can no longer walk, let me be near to the places time has made distant. It is these thoughtful places which I seek so a part of my today can relive the places of my yesterdays.

This wonderfully varied and nostalgic poetry collection by Louis Kendall Broussard, Sr, contains over 100 poems to be thoroughly enjoyed. Most are rhyming, some are free verse, others are prose, and all have a story or theme.

Leaves of Love

Phyllis Comeaux

There is always an aura of Love in that space that is intensified by the situations in our life, the opportunity to spend much time in and with God's creation, admiring it, embracing it, sometimes enduring it (during storms) and letting it play with our emotions which almost always end in PEACE, JOY and LOVE. Therefore, Leaves of Love seems to be an appropriate title for this book of poetry.

Four Seasons of Love and Grief

A Memoir

This story ends with faith soaring, nestled between battling love and pain that began in August of 2014. Rapidly, those reflective moments after the sudden death of my husband turned from ugly to hopeful to surrender.A story mixing love and conflict, hope and faith, nourished by nature and family saddled in between the business of grief. Not just of my own personal moments and setbacks, but those guided and handed by others.The death of my husband narrowed the lens throughout all four seasons, in which the winter months would bring nostalgia in a cup, one sip at a time.Our foundation, our playground, even the anonymity of work where we met would become a blessing and a tease.A splash of Creole, spiced with Cajun foods and languages, this story centers on letting old and new experiences glide into place.Doors have been opened and closed as told in the poem.It is for certain that death did not magically glue itself upon me alone. Many before have and after have fallen into the traps of depression, bitterness, guilt, and private talk sessions, trying to make sense of it all. But as I’ve learned and those before me, it is those that speak up, share, and seek out help in any manner that is comfortable to their own needs.What makes this personal first-account history of a life before, during, and after a husband’s death any different? The seasons highlight the readers’ senses, ideals, and awareness as the calendar flips. There is no overloading the reader with a step-by-step account of how to take care of themselves, for our hearts already know.I simply fine-tune the senses.
