The Gaia Project

release date: May 28, 2026
The Gaia Project
On a warm Italian evening, fourteen-year-old Gaia vanishes after walking away from a village festa. Two decades later, the mystery still shadows everyone who knew her: Frank, the distant father who never understood her; Paul, the American half-brother who had only just begun to; and Bree, who met Gaia during that long-ago holiday and found the girl’s presence unsettling in ways she has never fully faced. Now Bree returns to Italy with her young daughter whilst grieving for her mother and hoping to reconnect with Frank and Paul. But Paul is consumed by a secretive documentary project about his sister’s disappearance, and Bree is drawn back into the tangle of desires, jealousies and omissions that shaped the summer Gaia went missing. As past and present collide, painful truths about that night begin to surface – truths that threaten the fragile bonds Bree has rebuilt and force her to confront the consequences of what she witnessed.

Story Poems

release date: Feb 27, 2018
Story Poems
Story poems are poems that tell a story in rhythm and rhyme. It is a straightforward, folk-friendly kind of writing without vague allusions to some other writings or with fanciful language that leaves a person wondering what the whole thing was all about. This book contains four different sections: (1) the deeper and more serious poems, (2) just for the fun of it poems, (3) cowboy poetry, and (4) word painting. A student once wrote about the trip from Oklahoma to California on Route 66, telling about, among other things, dirty diapers strewn along the road. The instructor advised her that it would be more poetic to describe it as bits of white cotton dotting the landscape. What? Did they not pick all the cotton in the field? No wonder people dont like poetry. I like a clever use of words, but I am not fond of obtuse and rambling descriptions of people or landscapes. I tell a story with what I fondly believe has a humorous twist or has interesting action. I write the kind of stuff that I enjoy reading and that I hope others will enjoy also.
