Truly Special

 Lennon and Company stood here. We all have that special place and mine had an Abbey Road address.

Many Thanks

 

I recently came across your work, and it truly sold me out.

Some books don’t struggle because of their writing they remain unseen simply because the right readers never cross their path at the right time.

As I reviewed your work, what stood out to me wasn’t only the story itself, but the emotional weight and intention behind it. There is a quiet strength in your writing the kind that invites reflection, lingers with the reader, and encourages thoughtful discussion long after the final page. 

These are the stories readers don’t forget once they find them.

The Truth

I write towards the truth. I can say . . . "Been there and done that." I had already penned 'Brand of Justice' when Floyd was killed on the mean streets of America. Some find it hard to believe police could be the doers of wrong. Not me. I've been there. I've seen it, and of course another book is in the offing.   

Shame

It's as if Putin has highjacked the World Mindset which is resulting in a paradigm shift. Death and destruction has become all to familiar. The real enemy lurches, things such as cancer. Shame really. 

What I've Learned

 

When people start believing their own B.S. they get into trouble. That folks is it in a nutshell.

 

Hang On

 New book on the way. Editor is addressing health problems. Lets hand on for a better New Year!

Germany

 So I'm in Germany and am asked what the Trump Thing is all about. Then the German burst out laughing and said the Americans must be pulling a prank. Really. This happened.

The Truth

Now we have the Epstein deal coming to light. Michigan has a coach who trips over the truth. I mean it goes on and on. The truth has disappeared with the Passenger Pigeon.

All Respected

At times I struggle but here's one opinion ya have to figure is heart felt . . .

What are Putin's sort comings? Who do you think is winning the war? These clowns in the eu will all be out in their next elections, if not sooner. No, the west is delusional, the usa peace plan is what the special military operation was all about.

Do I agree? You be the judge. 

Nother One

Just checking in, our next newsletter is going out soon, and we’d love to include your book. We have engaged readers actively searching for new authors to read, review, and follow.

Whoa

I came across your book and feel it has strong potential to reach a wider audience. I’d love to support you in promoting it and introduce it to my reader community.

Ukraine

Met a film maker and a man off the frontlines in Ukraine yesterday. Sobering. I was told . . . "War takes it out of you". Gotta tell you the stories shared 'took it' out of me. Haunting.

Just Calling it The way I see it . . .

So am I an influencer? No. I'm an author who makes the most outta this thing called life. I travel (Ran around Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain. Now I'm hoping to meet up with a Ukrainian Official Saturday. Then plans are in place to hit Norway and Brussels later on. So no. I'm not into 'influencing' at all, but, just put thoughts out there and respect others and their thoughts. Good question. 

Losing My Touch?

I'm usually good for 1 outta 5 comments being dumped as too offensive for the community. I call it the way I see it however. Suddenly I'm not getting spanked. Whatever.

Here's One outta left Field

We explore the human mind on this site. That's it in a nutshell. So riddle me this Batman. Why do some like taking their shirts off at football games? Then you have the face painting business. In Buffalo folks were jumping off trucks smashing tables. What does this mean?   

Desensitized to The Second Amendment

Pregnant girl shot while her brother is murdered, before the shooter kills himself. At one time this would have been bigtime media fodder. This all occurred in smalltown America, Barron Wisconsin. We are all potential targets, as our elected leaders prepare to fight over the budget. So sad.

Today Barron

Can you believe it? A pregnant women, her brother and the shooter. So sick of this. 

Brand of Justice

To think . . . there are some in Montana who have voiced an opinion that I must be stomped out for giving a child killer a voice. I have done so in an effort to discover what would compel a person to commit such an act. It's where my voice finds its footing. Another example would be found in discussing what it was like to flee a school that was under fire. I listen during these encounters. This was my first novel and one, where you can see, I pursue the truth.

JusThis

Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shared his thoughts about power. He had deep feelings about power and its ability to corrupt. The proverb, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” means that whenever a person has power over other people or things, it makes him/her corrupt. This testament, for obvious reasons pertains to some police officers. A badge—symbolizing power—is pinned to their chest and they waddle into society for better or worse. Officer Francesco Vincent Serpico exposed corruption back in the day. Now, retired Officer Curt Rude, does the same when he focuses on sexual misdeeds of those who serve and protect.

The police profession has its share of individuals who had neither the inclination or ability to fulfill their desires before becoming police officers. Some were perhaps meek and mild; the last to be chosen for a team on the playground. After years of perceived humiliation and frustration they realize formal power can deliver them into an intitled life. They eagerly settle into a job that involves having others answer to them. It can be an exhilarating experience that leads to excess and trouble.

Though some have readily stated this work is an interesting read, but not plausible, one only needs to consider the deeds of Minnesota State Trooper Robert Leroy Nelson. While on duty, he offered eighteen-year-old Michelle Busha a ride after witnessing her being dropped off by a vehicle along Interstate 90. Busha was raped, beaten, tortured and strangled with a ligature. Her fingernails were removed while she was still alive and her head had been shaved, except for an area on the back of the head, which was left about an inch long.

It is hoped that an increase in knowledge, regarding issues some may find disturbing, results in a safer world for all.
