While solving his own family's problems, he uncovers dangers in the normally quiet town of Elkins West Virginia that has him returning time after time.

Somewhere on the Mountain

My book is semi-autobiographical, and is called "Somewhere on the Mountain." It's based on my experiences growing up as a child in the 1950's. The main character, Thomas, and his younger brother Billy, have a traumatic childhood, what with their mother dying, and their father leaving them in the care of people who abuse and molest them. Finally, when Thomas is ten, and his brother eight, they are placed in a boy's home, which is just as bad as the place they came from, and the abuse goes on. But they have friends there, who in turn, help to make the Home more bearable. The only real saving grace about it, is that in the summer, they move to a camp in the mountains, and they stay there until school begins in the fall. Thomas enjoys the outdoor activities and the picnics.

Soul Divided: Gaining Perspective through Poetry consists of a collection of poems written over a wide range of topics including some from my personal life as well as some with a biblical, theological, and psychological focus. These were written because I believe that we all face the same problems, at least at the core, so the solutions would likewise be somewhat similar. I seek to point out some of the problems by using my own experiences and by telling stories that the reader might relate to. Although some of these poems are the problem/solution type, some are not, but all were written to pierce right into the heart of the reader. I also believe that in most of our lives, the answers to our questions are typically right in front of us, but a slight adjustment in perspective is needed in order to see them, which is what I try to make the reader aware of.As the title implies, we are most often torn between the different realities that we experience--things that we want to do and the things that we actually do--highlighting the spiritual battle that goes on internally. I would say that most people want to better their lives but are either too stubborn to admit it, don't know how, or they keep postponing the process, claiming that there is plenty of time in life to change. It is my attempt to persuade the reader in a few of these poems, but all of them offer a different perspective regarding their respective topics, which I think the reader would enjoy.
