To Ron's for Tea
This book is about the lighter side of neurodiversity. I wrote it because not many books are written with neurodiverse children in mind, especially books which are from a light-hearted perspective. I wrote it with the intention of enabling parents and children to understand that it is o.k to be different and I hope that this book enables both parents and children to connect with the characters. Much good can come out of the diagnosis of ASD. Children with ASD excel in many areas; a diagnosis of ASD could be the making of your child. Great people in the media have revealed that they are on the ASD spectrum and have achieved amazing things.

Good News, Bad News, Who Can Tell?
The title of this book comes from an ancient parable about a farmer who, when greeted with fortune or misfortune has the same retort: "Good news, bad news, who can tell?" The parable provides some simple wisdom in approaching turbulence and catastrophe in life, such as living through a pandemic. This book offers a variety of touching stories, lyrics, and poems written by people who represent nine categories of those on the frontlines of the pandemic (educators, COVID survivors, artists, clergy, those who lost loved ones, students, physicians, restauranteurs, and journalists) from the U.S. and India, regarding experiences, lessons and wisdom they acquired. A novel interpretation of the parable is presented as well as a framing (a figure 8) that provides some perspective and guidance as we move through the various trials and tribulations of life, and through challenges of mental illness and substance use. There is also a chapter "signs of the times" which showcases a variety of creative and amusing signs that were all around us during the pandemic. Even some clever bathroom signs. The summary outlines lessons learned and wisdom gained by the editor from struggling through the pandemic in rural West Virginia, as a psychotherapist on the frontlines, and from reading the heartfelt stories and poems in the book. And perhaps the most interesting feature of the book is the last chapter, an opportunity to reflect and write your own lessons, story, poem, and space for your photos to add to the documentation of this experience called "the pandemic."

Regarding My Mother
I went to a production of Rogers and Hammerstein's Carousel last year. On listening and reading the words of its songs, I was suddenly struck by how almost every song seemed to resonate with me and my emotions about my mother, her family and our relationship.The next day, after starting to write a couple of poems using the parallel thinking from Carousel, I have just referred to, I realised that maybe this was the trigger to start writing a complete book of poems about my mother.Having written one on my father after he passed nearly four years ago, and having lost my mother some twenty-six years ago, this seemed the moment. So, start I did...The poems begin with my reflections on Carousel and me and my mother, then they go back to my mother's early life in the countryside and meeting my father, several relate to the musical's songs. They then move to my childhood with her and my twin brother and finally are about the period after I had left home and then my mother's too early departure from this life.
