Temperamental Insanity
This is a fictional novel set in California’s Central Valley in the early years of the 21st Century. It is an adventurous exploration of how folks respond to emotional, mental and spiritual trauma. There are three main characters. Their stories develop along separate lines until they come together in dramatic fashion at the final curtain.
A unique hybrid beast of a story, this novel mixes History, Historical Fiction, Autobiographical Vignettes, the Occult and Irreverent Humor. Not for the faint of heart.
Motown, California
Although not technically a sequel, this fictional novel begins at the closing scene of Temperamental Insanity. The setting is again the Central Valley and several memorable characters from that story appear here. But this is entirely a different animal.
A 28 year old Orphan returns home after a two year absence. His arrival sets in motion a series of bizarre events. He becomes the target of his vindictive Auntie, a sexed-crazed Private Dick, a demonic 16 year old pregnant girl, two colorful Vegas Wise Guys and a ghost from his past.
The zaniness nearly spirals out of control until all is made clear in a most improbable ending. The themes here are Adventure, Redemption, Historical Anecdotes, Monty Pythonesque humor, Criminal Activity and Unusual Sex.
Cymria: Raven’s Tale
Books One and Two
Book One
This Fairy Tale is set very loosely in 9th Century Wales. The inhabitants of a small isolated village are faced with death by fire and sword at the hands of the invading Sea Peoples. It is only through the heroic efforts of two children: Freiya a girl of nine, and Piédo an eight year old boy, that they are able to flee in time.
After several desperate weeks of just managing to keep ahead of the fires and devastation, the Villagers are down to their last with only a desert wasteland ahead of them on the trail. All hope is lost.
But Freiya refuses to give up. At the very last minute help arrives from a very unexpected source. The Villagers are led to a place of sanctuary and peace. It is a land called Dragansil and is ruled by Queen Alascha. Once they arrive in their new home they rename it Cymria.
Book Two
The story picks up some 300 years later. Queen Alascha’s human subjects had been such a productive and peaceable folk, she had decided to take some time off and a raise a new generation of Dragons. Without explaining herself to anyone, she put her uninspiring younger Brothers in charge and off she flew.
Over the ensuing years, her absence had been felt severely. Not only in Cymria, but far beyond it’s borders. Soon enough a banished Dark Sorcerer learns of the Queen’s disappearance. Through nefarious means he worms his way into the very heart of Cymrian Society. His lust for power drives him to lead Cymria to revolt against the rule of the Dragons.
In this once peaceful land, all Hell breaks loose. There are Dragons, Dwarves, talking Ravens, poison, a secret CABAL, Elephants, Jugglers, Breathers of Fire, Camels, an actual case of True Love and a gruesome final battle.
