I Have Not Picked Up My Dinosaurs Yet Today: A Personal Account of Life with Depression-Anxiety Disorder
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Helene Meyer grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating from Washington University with a BA, majoring in English and Spanish, she began a long teaching career in both private and parochial schools. All along, Helene struggled with her own private hell: waging a battle against depression and anxiety disorder. Ashamed to admit to anyone that she had these mental and emotional problems, she decided to write down all she had experienced.
Using new emotional/mental strength, Helene wanted to reach out to others who suffer from these devastating illnesses. Instead of doing so by writing autobiographically, Helene chose to use theatrically-styled readings based on her own life. These readings can be done in mental care settings by social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists or among families and friends who want to overcome the stigma of mental illness. In 2011, Helene founded an NPO called “Slaying Dragons” whose mission is to destroy the stigma of mental illness through theater. The website is www.slayingdragons.org. She hopes many people and organizations will reach out to “Slaying Dragons” performances to help those in need. The impact of these readings are overwhelming.
According to Dr. Collins Lewis, professor emeritus from Washington University, this book will help many people who suffer from depression and anxiety.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to “Slaying Dragons” to help destroy the stigma of mental illness. -

The Coming
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99It had been a long day, and the drive home proved to be even longer as freezing rain and subsequent black ice quickly turned into wet, heavy snow. Snow on black ice is treacherous, but going slowly, I made progress. As I approached my turn, I looked across the valley; a car spinning out of control crashed into the guardrail and stopped! Flames flickered from under the car as it hung precariously over the cliff.
Throwing caution to the wind, I raced up the hill, slid to a stop, jumped out of my truck, and as I ran to the woman standing there, another woman was slumped over the wheel, eyes open but not moving, and both of them, pregnant! Immediately, I knew them, Mareilene and Dareilene, twins from high school. As I grabbed the door handle, Mareilene yanked me back, looked at me, almost insanely, with blood dripping down her face, screamed,
“Dareilene and baby are dead, and ‘He’ doesn’t know that she was traveling with me. Damn it, Joe, help me! I need to push the car off the cliff and let it explode with them in it.”
I yelled,
“What the fuck! You can’t do that!”
Mareilene, scared to death, yelled,
“He’s coming, Joe, and the only way we live is to let him think it’s me and my baby that are dead at the bottom of this cliff. Damn it, Joe, decide! Both my baby and I live, or we all will die! Dareilene and her baby are dead, and Joe, I now know that God sent you here to save me and my baby!”
Her eyes told me the truth, and then, with one shove, the car with Dareilene and her unborn baby plunged off the cliff and exploded in flames. We climbed into my truck, and as I hit the gas, Mareilene, rapidly going into shock, cried,
“Drive like the Devil is on your heels, Joe because He is!”
The Coming . . . God and man, versus the Devil and his minions.

A Hero’s Life
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99The story of a war hero who is faced with a choice between what he believes is moral on the one hand, and his job, his family and the security of his country on the other.
Steve Pritchard was a World War II fighter pilot hero who returned from England in 1945 to his home in Los Angeles. He was a double ace with twelve downed Messerschmitt ME-109’s to his credit. Steve had married his high school sweetheart, the prettiest girl in town, went to work at Western Aircraft Company, the largest aircraft company in Southern California and moved into a new home with swimming pool on the Palos Verdes peninsula. Steve and Ellen quickly had three children and settled down to a comfortable post-war life.
He earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering at UCLA night school and became his company’s chief troubleshooter. The company’s design team listened to his suggestions and respected his opinion. All was going well when he was assigned a special mission by the company president to investigate multiple crashes of the company’s new, supersonic fighter jet. It would be a simple task, one that he was sure he could solve in a few days.
But those few days turned into months of futile probing, political infighting, Air Force interference, threats on his life and lack of support from his company’s management as well as from his family. Using his experience in airplane design and applying his flying skills, could he finally identify the cause of the crashes? If he identifies the problem, should he reveal the faulty design and lose his job, his home, and his family, or cover up the problem, get the promotion for which he had been working, and continue to live a comfortable life? A man who had been hailed a hero just a few years before in World War II was now to find out what it really meant to lead a hero’s life.

Seekers of the Dogazoids
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Seekers of the Dogazoids is the story of wayward aliens who wind up on planet Earth by accident, a fuel crisis. They can change their appearance via shape-shifting and are quite intelligent. But they know nothing about this planet or the beings who live here, us humans. The one thing they do know is that they need fuel for their ship. So they set about seeking fuel while trying to fit into a small town atmosphere, not doing very well at first. But they learn and get better at it. Although the aliens don’t get real good at fitting in, they do just enough to proceed with their mission, narrowly averting disaster several times. Humans are not the stars of this story. It’s a story of a different race who didn’t plan on being here but had to make the best of their bad situation.

Diary Of A Deplorable!
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99I am a deplorable. That is what a left-leaning, law breaking democrat has chosen to call me because, as a Christian conservative, I supported a Presidential candidate with whom I agreed. Seventy-four million Americans voted the same way I did in 2020, so I guess we are all deplorables. I’m also a white male, and in today’s world, that is the only group that one can discriminate against with the blessing of the main-stream media. Another president decried the fact that we conservatives “cling to our guns and our God.” I choose to cling to both! Further, as a conservative, and a former university professor, I’ve been a victim of the lies, and false accusations of the woke cancel culture. For these reasons, I am now highly vested in this struggle against dishonesty, cancellation, and the destructive identity politics of wokeness. Finally, I believe in truth, and believing the truth today is virtually criminalized in our country. Here are some truths that, as a deplorable, I believe in.
There are only two genders, and only females can get pregnant.
History cannot be changed, and historical monuments should not be destroyed or dismantled at the whim of today’s left-leaning press.
Reparations won’t work, since almost everyone on the planet can make a case to receive them.
The Southern border of the US is witnessing an invasion, sanctioned and encouraged by democrats. Drugs and criminal thugs flow in without restraint creating a danger for all Americans.
Fatherlessness is destroying the Black community, and that problem may take American culture down with it.
Our current president suffers from dementia. He cannot function as leader of the free world.
The 2020 presidential election was a coup, orchestrated by democrats, a number of “get out the vote” non-profits, and 2000 mules stuffing ballot boxes. The 2024 election might be the same.
The current, highly dangerous world chaos, and two wars, have resulted in part because of a weak, demented US President.
These truths, and many others, are being attacked daily in the press, but truth generally stands strong in the face of lying politicians and infantile name-calling. Still, in 2024 these “woke” attacks on conservatives are getting much, much worse. If the lies and half-truths of leftists go unchallenged, they can eventually destroy our American experiment, so I felt I had to respond. In all honesty, you probably picked up this diary because you feel the same. You may have been attacked yourself by wokeness in some form or another, perhaps denied a job or a promotion because you were white, or male. In the view of leftist democrats, all Christian conservatives and all republicans are “deplorables” all 74 million of us. Given that these attacks do destroy lives sometimes, I’ve decided to respond, using a Christian perspective and humor (which disarms woke-leftists), to comment on today’s headlines. Thus, I’ll embrace the term, deplorable! The woke left is going to hate me and all conservative Christians anyway, so let’s let them. Herein, I’ll use truth, honesty, fact-based arguments, Jesus’ example of love, and a goodly dose of humor, to work to preserve the American experiment that I do so love. As usual, Jesus said it best!
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” ( John 8: 32)

BETTY, IT’S SHOWTIME!!
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Who is Betty?
Betty Marie Stone is an enthusiastic overweight young singer with the desire to one day – see her name in lights. Although she was always complimented as a child because her voice was strong and adult like in church, No one ever said anything to her regarding her looks, smarts, or personality. For some reason, they only focused on her voice. The elder women would say, “Chile you got a gift from God just like your mother,” or they would say, “If you don’t do anything else, you ought to sing.” Raised by a strong, Southern Baptist Grandmother in the middle
of one of the largest Northern Cities was a struggle all in itself. The city lights called to her in a way much different than her counterparts because they had never experienced the darkness of the south. Betty remembered seeing miles and miles of darkness when she was a child. Although they moved to Michigan when she was twelve, she still remembered the dark roads and fields. For some reason, she always felt that the lights made her feel safe and looked after. She thought as long as there were lights, she would never feel the sadness of darkness, nor would she feel alone. Those long dark southern roads seem to escalate the long suffering she endured being alone and forced to care for her mother when she needed care and attention herself.
After years had passed and the city started to quiet down a bit, Betty really started to focus on her future. She was sure that singing would make her happy, but unsure if her desired path was even possible. The pains she endured while trying to pursue her dream as a NON-Gospel singer begins almost immediately. Southern gospel was the ONLY music permitted in Grandma’s house. Grandma seemed to only care about her church and her relationship with her Bible. After the death of her Mother; Betty thought she’d never sing again. Somehow, after those feelings died a bit, the fire and desire to perform still burned brightly in her soul.
Now that she is in her early twenties, she reflects on her feelings as a child, and it still saddens her to admit that she really did feel alone even in the lights. Betty now feels that God’s love is enough to help her through any rough patch. After all the ups and downs she endured, Betty finally found someone worth singing for, herself. NOW nothing can stop her, not even fear or loneliness.
Now it’s time to get the game face on. Betty, It’s Showtime.
