Sculptor Of The North: The Evolution of a Soul
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99It was the summer of 1973, and the Vietnam War was casting its insidious shadow over the world. Caught in a riot that began as an anti-war protest, I found myself running for my life from club-swinging cops and being teargassed from pepper fogging guns at the University of Minnesota. The protest was a result of American airplanes bombing neighboring Cambodia. It was soon after the deadly shootings at Kent State University where four students were gunned down. Many students gathered at Coffman Memorial Union watching television monitors broadcasting that day’s protest-turned-riot.
It was announced that the Minnesota National Guard had been called in. Oh-oh, here we go again. Were they going to open fire on us too? I was a senior at the university and had been accepted at the University of San Diego Law School. That day’s events changed my life. No way was I going to be a part of a money-crazed system as a lawyer, so I began my journey as an artist/sculptor.
Five years later, I found myself living in a tent in the woods near Ely. After two years of tent life, I moved to an old hunting shack filled with spiders, mice, and snakes on the property I bought. It was a roof over my head. After seven laborious years of remodeling with popular logs that I fitted into a log hut around the shack, the structure burnt to the ground during the blue moon on New Year’s Eve 1990. It was minus 40 degrees. I sat in the firetruck with then chief Klun after racing to my nearest neighbor’s house, logger Buster Nicholson, where I burst through his door yelling, “My house is on fire!”
“Use the phone,” he hollered, and I did. The Ely Fire Department met me at the beginning of Mud Creek Road, and I escorted them six miles down the road and into my remote haven in the woods. It was too late. Fire was consuming everything. Glass and ammunition were exploding, and the hoses on the truck were frozen. A night to remember for sure, but if anything is going to get the motivational juices flowing, it was that.
I created a monumental sculpture 31 years later of this resolute and powerful Viking, which is now the second-tallest cement statue in the state. It was a year-long project that stands nine feet tall and weighs about 3,500 pounds. Located in Tower behind the football field, he stands with his sword rammed into the ground looking skyward for a sign from the heavens, just like I did in 1973 and on New Year’s Eve during the blue moon.

LORI: Traveling Cat Series Book IX
Price range: $3.99 through $7.99In earlier books, Jim has taken his readers from an early 1942 incident in which a British Destroyer was shadowing a German U-boat through the TOTO channel. The U-boat had made a dive into the depths of the channel, the Destroyer’s sonar then picked up a second object that apparently traded shots with the U-boat. The U-boat was destroyed, then the Destroyer’s sonar picked up the second object’s exit of the area at what the Captain had lodged as an impossible speed. Subsequently, the U.S. Navy sent in a small sub to investigate the British Captain’s claim. The U.S. sub was never heard from again. When the U.S. entered the war, the U.S. and the British agreed to build a secret Navy base on Andros Island, close to the sight where both incidences took place. Whatever was down in the channel hampered their completion of the base. On December 5th, 1945, five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers took off from a Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale Florida, the bombers were to secretly bomb the TOTO channel. The bombers after their first run over the channel, then radioed that they had lost all Navigation and we’re having electrical problems. The Navy sent out another plane to assist.

Essay – I Say: Writing of Alternative Political & Philosophical Ideas
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99These informative Essays are writings of alternative political and philosophical ideas – ideas that are thoughts which may be uppermost in our minds when we deal with questions about our extraordinary existence on this Planet. This vale of tears, and laughter – the agony, and the ecstasy.
Though man has made extraordinary leaps and bounds in all technologies as well as know-how, and is proven also to be self-sacrificing in many instances at his best – even noble in his behaviour, he tends to remain as primitive as ever in many departments of life particularly in emotional matters and with his ethics in private and in public life, and especially so within this almost Godless Age.
Alas, humility and self-introspection have virtually become alien pursuits.

Dangers of a Forgotten Past
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99When Ken Garrity regained consciousness, he was upside down in a wrecked jeep. Little did he know that his whole life had been turned upside down.

He was found wandering in Tijeras Canyon east of Albuquerque and taken to the hospital to treat his injuries. But he was still in grave danger. He didn’t know who wanted him dead, or why.
People who were connected to his past were getting killed and he wondered if he had been a victim of a crime or just another criminal who had crossed someone.

They learned to survive both mentally and physically, as death on both sides of the war could happen at any moment. Yes, it is a fiction! The names were also changed, but it is based on facts. You will go on patrol with these young men, age range of 18-24, as they become exposed to the horrors of war. Their lives were changed forever, then returned home to supposedly forget it. I lost many friends who became Brothers in Vietnam. Some were shot, some were taken by booby traps, now called IED’s.

You Can’t Just Snap Out of It: A Journey from Depression to Healing
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99One night, I was on the floor, facedown, praying before the Lord, when I felt like God was enveloping me in his arms. I had just come out of a six-month depression. I heard him speak to my heart, and he told me that he wanted me to write a book on what it looks like, feels like, and what it is to be in a depressed person’s body.
My purpose in writing this book is to help educate people about this debilitating disease so that they can become more compassionate and supportive of their loved ones, friends, coworkers, and depressed people in general. If you have never experienced depression personally, it is difficult to understand and hard to relate to.
I found out in talking to many people that mental illness touches almost every family. There are so many suicides that are taking place in our world today. That is why it is so important to arm yourselves with the knowledge of the signs and symptoms of depression so that you can get that person help.
In the book, “You Can’t Just Snap out of It,” there is also a message of hope. You don’t have to suffer in silence any longer. There is help out there for you. All you have to do is ask.
