Passage through the Shadows — Volume III
Coming September 2024
Passages through the Shadows is Volume III of a multi award winning, critically acclaimed series. Passages is a compilation of articles written in real time over the past year, based on current events. The work discloses the true state of our government through facts, commentary and previous histories related in the Shadows series. Each of the articles are short, independent, high impact ventures into the truth surrounding where we are as a society today. The span of interest is as wide as a year’s worth of headlines: from campus revolt’s, to antisemitism, to crises in the Middle East, to the causes of runaway inflation, to the political persecution of conservatives and more, viewed within the context of how and why our country was founded as she was… and how and why the Democrat Party has concentrated the power and wealth of the United States into their own party. The book’s articles explains how outside of our “common” Constitution the Democrat Party is now operating and how that party uses lawless power to oppress political opponents and average citizens. I believe the best medicine for what ails our nation is relating the truth about the causes which presently ail us all, in a country that has fallen off its foundations.

An American Poet takes a novel look at Democracy through a series of essays in “The DNA of Democracy.” The author visits upon democracy’s rare occurrences in history, from its western origins in Athens and Rome, to its long evolutional growth in England, and the utterly unique establishment of democracy in America, where the combined influences of the Amerindian’s view of life, some revolutionary old world philosophers and a generation of rebel, warrior poets wrought an unprecedented nation!
These historical vignettes explore the how and why behind how our nation was made.
Shadows of the Acropolis — Volume II
As it was with the democracy of ancient Athens, America’s democracy has, over time, been subject to change, proving democracy is as fragile as it is rare. The shadows now falling over American democracy are not from obvious sources, but from age old, unsuspected ones, which tend to the creation of tyranny.
This book chronicles the how and why behind how our nation has changed over the past century, and what it means.
Defining the causes and consequences of these changes provides the hope we may hold, to restore American democracy’s proper foundations and glories.
