A Private Life
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Don’t get me wrong here, I’ve had an amazing life, the last thing that I want anyone to think is that this book, My Private Life, is about sour grapes. I consider myself a true American red-blooded capitalist like all other good Americans. This book is about my experiences growing up, my experiences fighting back and growing up to become the best that I can be.
Growing up black in the South, I felt that I had the cards stacked against me from the start. Despite that, I managed to get an education, join the United States Marine Corps and start a successful company. I’m not afraid of hard work either. I paid for tuition by picking up trash after school, delivering papers before school and working in a shipyard. I owned a boutique, ran and built a successful company from the ground with my own blood, sweat and tears.
There are a million different ways that my life could have turned out, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. This is my story, My Private Life, I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed living it.

Bible Lessons for Broken People
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99This is a book to hand to a broken teenager captured by pills, pot, or meth. This is a book for a woman from an abusive background who feels unworthy of love. This is a book to hand to a recovering addict, desperately seeking Tough, forceful, and poignant. This is exactly the Bible-study book ministers and Christian counselors have been waiting for! So very many people in the modern world are deeply broken – some are so broken that they refuse to even enter a church. Whether victims of child abuse, neglect, addiction, or sexual exploitation, these broken people, young and old, are crying out for help even as their fierce pride forces them to refuse any help that is offered. When pride is all you have, pride is what you cling too. These broken individuals have lived in hell already, and that fierce, desperate pride kept them alive even as it now blocks their progress.
For those deeply broken people, this book is the answer. It speaks to the brokenness – directly to the heart of the darkness that many broken people feel with each breath, speaking with an authentic, direct message of Jesus’s love and compassion. The Roque Warriors document at the first of this book grabs the broken reader by the throat and lets those individuals know that many others have been in their situation before and have found help in these pages. The Bible lessons themselves tackle the harshest issues facing people today: fear, frustration, a complete, desperate sense of aloneness, homosexuality, child sex abuse, the problem of evil, contemplations of suicide, overwhelming guilt, dark rage, unforgiving hatred, and the deeply felt need to find peace amid the darkness of one’s lost soul. This book does not mince words, and the most challenging issues facing broken people today are presented and discussed herein using the Bible and, when possible, Jesus’s own words.
The minister or counselor should discuss each lesson with these broken ones, leading them through these pages as the broken grow stronger in their newly-found hope: their faith. Even when they read alone without a counselor, this book can reach broken people. It could be a gift for many. It will be a lifeline for some.
As Christians, we know that Jesus can and does change even the most broken lives. This book, presenting Jesus’s love and compassion, will help him do exactly that.

Donald Trump Meets His Maker
$11.99This play offers an explanation, albeit fantastical, for President Trump’s inaction and near silence for 187 minutes during the Capitol siege on January 6th, 2021. The play begins with his speech at the Washington, D.C., rally on that fateful day. After he finishes the oration, as opposed to his instruction that he be driven to the Capitol, the Secret Service ferries him to the White House. Once there, President Trump holes up in the private dining room off the Oval Office, which serves as the setting for the remainder of the play. In the dining room, he sits rapt before a gigantic television screen, viewing his followers’ descent upon the Capitol. Suddenly, the Grim Reaper materializes in the dining room, and announces that the time has arrived for him to take President Trump away.
In the hope of dissuading the Grim Reaper from completing his mission, President Trump calls upon the assistance of Satan, whom the president hopes will listen to his appeal for clemency. As did the Grim Reaper, Satan materializes in a burst of explosions, smoke, etc. President Trump attempts to convince Satan to overrule the Grim Reaper by presenting a video playlist titled Trump’s Big Six, containing six of what he considers to be his political career’s highlights.
One of the play’s conceits is that only President Trump, and not his visitors, of which there were a few-for example, Ivanka Trump, Mark Meadows, and Pat Cipollone-can see the Grim Reaper and Satan: “Only he whom we come for can see us.”

The Greatest Semester Ever: A Memoir of Studying Abroad
$11.99An old college journal found by accident led to an inspiration 34 years later. I had always told oral stories about my travels and encounters at parties and pubs to positive responses, and reactions. After a while, I thought I might actually have a book to write here?!
It’s like a “Let’s Go Europe” travel book for those who venture to go beyond their own comfort zones. Traveling isn’t just getting into long, endless lines at the airport during the holidays. Rail is the way to go if you want to see the actual country and not from 30,000 feet. That is, of course, if you don’t have thousands of miles to cover like one doesn’t have in Western Europe. In the Spring of 1989, the Iron Curtain was still standing, and the Soviet Empire still reigned over Eastern Europe. Therefore, we were limited on where we could go, however we did manage to go behind the Iron Curtain at one point and view the former Communist World.
It explores the trials and tribulations of college students going way out of their normal surroundings, not only just to continue their college educations, but also to learn a “metric butt-load” about the world and themselves most importantly. If you want to do something amazing, see something amazing, or even achieve your wildest dreams, you’re going to have to go beyond the horizon and venture into the unknown. While the pomp in that sounds glorious, fluffy, and boisterous, the reality is that it’s true. You’ll never see the world by staying in “Mayberry”.

Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99Living Loved: Recognizing and Responding to God lets the reader into the private and intimate areas of the author’s heart and mind.

Although not a “how-to” book, Living Loved details one person’s coming to live in close, personal friendship with God. Author Laurice Shafer writes for the person who has wondered about someone else’s spiritual life, hoping to find encouragement for their own experience of God. She tells of God’s efforts to bring her into friendship with Him, describing it as it was…defects of character are acknowledged, God’s specific interventions described heart to heart communication between a woman and her God detailed, and healing and growth in human relationships explored. The hope that comes with experiencing God and His power to restore resounds in this book.

Michael and the Ice Princess: A Mystical Romance
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99A lyrical novel with a fairy-tale plot, this fresh presentation of the enduring quest story is a fascinating literary introduction to Western mystical thought. “Drawing on rich and eclectic sources, Mary Mendenhall has produced a memorable tapestry of great power and beauty,” a London reviewer wrote about the first edition.
An unpaid debt. A cursed king. The chilling reminder, “There is a power greater than yours,” when his wife dies in childbirth, his daughter is lost, and his kingdom crumbles.
Sensing that all is not right, the forgotten princess embarks on a journey of self-discovery alone, misunderstood and confused, wandering in search of home… So begins the story of Michael, a medieval craftsman craving fulfillment who stumbles across a cold and aloof stranger. But the Ice Princess is not like the fairy-tale figures of the Snow Queen, North Wind, or the White Witch: she is a flesh-and-blood woman with a quest of her own.
Reminiscent of the storytelling styles of Elizabeth Goudge and George MacDonald, Michael and the Ice Princess: A Mystical Romance offers an ideal ‘bedtime story’ in the old oral tradition. Suitable for older youth and anyone who craves spirituality linked with old-fashioned romance, this classic novella is an enchanting journey through the world of sages of long ago who still have something to say to modern souls.
