It is written as a series of daily logs originally transcribed from my daily journals, then embellished with additional details resulting from further recollection and research. All of the stories are true, and many contain elements of human interest relating to the many fascinating hikers I met on my adventure. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of doing such a trek is encountering so many interesting people along the way. My goal in assembling this book was to provide entertainment and information for two main audiences First, for those who have hiked the trail, I included stories relating to places and things all of us have seen, along with frequent observations about those mysterious rocks beneath our feet. For those new to the trail, or who have never hiked long distances, this is a glimpse into the wonders and excitement out there to be discovered, as told by just one of the many thousands of past thru-hikers. The book contains three parts with 26 chapters and reads like a journal log, capturing my challenges and experiences each day on the trail. In addition to the 240 pages of text, there are over 100 beautiful color photos, 6 figures and 6 charts. Hopefully you will find this book both informative and entertaining, as you read and enjoy my tales of 150 days of discovery on the Appalachian Trail!

The Great Abortion: A Holy Book for Isolated Souls
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99These assorted poems are philosophical works as much as they are art. The myriad of subjects contained in this collection cover freedom, depression, lust, solitude, paradise, risk, labor, spirituality, and transformation to name a few. As diverse as these topics are, they all coalesce into an insightful and provocative spirit of exploration and moral exhortation. I have titled this work of mine as The Great Abortion hoping that it will become exactly that to the majority of people who have turned away from poetry. I aim to stop a mindless tradition of emotional stimulation, which neither betters the writer or reader. There are countless poems that have become nothing but an endless stream of adjectives that create great mental pictures, but drown out the few words dedicated to the actual content. Each of my poems combine to create a great halting power, and an eventual abortion. These poems operate by lifting the veil of curiosity on philosophical verities without the rigors and stagnation of logic. These poems strike through carefree levity, sharp barbs, and creative allegories. Weather the reader finds themselves in agreement with these works or not, they will consider meaningful life subjects with a fresh new energy supplied by these poems. I promise the reader a new spirit of contemplation upon completing this book.

The Nightmares of HIMM

The experience of the truth of how a poet live his life in fear most of his childhood life. The poems are the stories the madness and the mayhem within the mind of mine. His only comfort was writing to escape the reality of abuse, and these are the curious cases of the madman or is he. The poems are based on the nightmare of FD Ravenskraft’s sleepless night being afraid of the world. But he understands the true fear of society himself. The constant terror within the insomnia of this broken night after night he compose the horror of his sleepless experience and write them down to try to understand his critical thinking. His style of poetry is aspired and inspired by the writing of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe and writings of Charles Baudelaire, Lord Byron, Keats and Shelley and Mary Shelley. In the beginning, that was creation. And at the end of the journey, is Ravenskraft.
Welcome to the horrors of HIMM!
He is Madness and Mayhem!

Transcribed Rhymes
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99This Anthology is the first in a series which contain “Transcribed Rhymes”. The poems in this collection are “Heard Words”, not unlike the song writer who simply writes down the tune he or she hears, in his or her mind, and the artist who applies paint to the canvas of the picture he or she envisions.
These poems were given and received as a window, through which to view and clarify thoughts and moments, regarding experiences of life. The subjects are universal in nature, in that, they are applicable to the vagaries of the lives of the many readers, who are then able to apply the poem’s teachings to their own situation. If applied, this teaching window could become a door.

Windswept
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Loss, forever changes you, forever. A piece of you, missing. It’s a given. You struggle not to accept nor reject but just to acknowledge, to wrap your mind around the permanent void; to make sense of the senseless, learning to breathe in pain to see through the tears.
Losing two of her three children, S. G. McAfee knows the pain; the breaking heart, the emptiness of aching arms. Healing is on going. The scars are real, deep, permanent. As you seek shelter from an unfamiliar stormy sea of life may you find solace in Windswept.
Ms McAfee has been writing the rhyming word since age eleven, apparent in “My Puppy” which gives insight to the innocence of a young mind while “Turkey Strut”, written three years later, playfully reflects her interpretation of a not-sodumb bird at Thanksgiving.
Love abounds throughout this book of verse as in the poems Teas, Glisten, Meyou. The joys of Christmas can be found in just that Joy while A Silent Prayer conveys to the reader the power of bended knee. Mourning Glory, written five days after September 11th, 2001 tells of the attack on this great nation, under God.
Windswept cross sections emotions, thus pulling heart strings, producing smiles, evoking tears. Sailing along life’s tumultuous journey may Windswept bring you calm seas and gentle winds. Know you are not alone.
