Uncle Seth Fought the Yankees
THE SUFFERING AND BRAVERY of the South's children during the War are an untold story. Yankee and scallywag historians have hidden and censored stories about the sufferings, hardships, and dedication of the South's children during the War for Southern Independence. But those stories remain for those who search old journals, diaries, and original history. The author uses a fictitious Confederate veteran (Uncle Seth) to bring these almost lost stories to life. For the North, it was a war for the preservation of their empire. However, for the South, it was a struggle to protect their homes and family from the cruel invader's torch and an effort to prevent the chains of political slavery from being fastened on the South's people. The reader will find over twenty short stories all drawn from the writings of Southerners who witnessed the events. You will find history about the War unvarnished or whitewashed by Yankee propagandists masquerading as historians."Tell them [future generations] how we exhausted every honorable means to avoid the terrible arbitrament of war, asking only to be let alone, and tendering alliance, friendship, free navigation-everything reasonable and magnanimous-to obtain an amicable settlement. Tell them how, when driven to draw the sword, we fought the mercenaries of all the world until overpowered by tenfold numbers, we fell, like Leonidas and his Spartans of old, fell so heroically that our defeat was more glorious than their victory," -General R. E. Colston, CSA circa 1868

Thoughts of a Lost Man; Tears of a Forgotten Child
This book of poems came to fruition as an introspective investigation the riddle of pain that was supplanted at the center of my core. Throughout my life I always wondered why I had this aching pain of loss, neglect, abandonment, and the sense of yearning for love but never received it. Why was I so unlovable or felt this way? What would I use an alternative to fill that vacancy in my soul? So as I walked through the corridor of my incarceration I realized that I was in prison before I came to prison. I order to set myself free I must find that child that was left behind and save him so the man can have a promising future. I realized that this pain was multidimensional and complex and before the healing can begin, the pain became immeasurable and nearly defeated me. Yet, when I discovered the forgotten child and consoled him the lost man was visible and began to heal. Thus, became the birth of these poems that was healing conversation between the two who are one.

Defying China
The incredible true story of a teen who became an activist for the Tibetan independence movement, for readers of Red Scarf Girl and Farewell to Manzanar. Tsultrim Dolma, born in a tiny village in the stunning mountains of eastern Tibet, always knew there had to be more than the life expected of her: More than no education, because her family was poor. More than being married off at a young age, because she was a girl. More than barely getting by under oppressive Chinese occupation, because she was Tibetan. When she was sixteen, Tsultrim found more, joining protests for the Tibetan independence movement, the call for her beloved country's liberation from the People's Republic of China. Shortly after, she was arrested and sent to Gutsa Detention Center, notorious for its brutal torture of political prisoners like Tsultrim. This young adult memoir follows Tsultrim's courageous coming of age through her time at Gutsa, being heavily surveilled by the government after her release, and, ultimately, her escape to the U.S. It also underscores the bravery it takes to speak up, and the power to be found in sharing one's story.
