Numbers speak to us on a daily basis. They give us the Time, so we are not Tardy for important events, they tell us the proper speed to Travel, so we do not get a Ticket, and they provide us the proper Temperature to bake our Treats, or breads, so that they do not become Toast. But most important of all, Numbers tell us the Truth.We use numbers in the simplest ways to help navigate us through the peaks and troughs of life. Through hypothetical scenarios the author illustrates, to the reader, how basic mathematical principles coupled with simple data analysis techniques can be applied by both auditors, accountants, and everyday individuals to help us solve problems that we may face in our professional and personal lives.Numbers emphatically leads Joe, a retired professor, to the truth about his relationship and Stephanie, an auditor, to the reality of her corporation's culture, while spilling some proverbial TEA along the way!

Bride of Covid Chronicles is a daily trip through the wayward thought patterns of a 76 year old man. A word, phrase, idea, would strike me and I'd be off and running with whatever rose into my compost heap of a mind. Something like stacking bricks to lay a wall without a level. A few times the wall would end up plumb and straight, most times it would wander like a drunkard trying to find a dimly lit men's room in a low rent district bar.

"Bleeding Heart Forever" represents a transitional state of life - a period of both endless turning and the futile resonance of turning. While not intended it be its own collection, it differs in style and theme enough to be deserving of its own vessel. Written over a relatively short period of poetic outpouring, I feel that this collection is my poetry at its most personal. Truly, it is a memoir of feeling and emotion that functions more as abstract prose than poetry. Left as it was written, I feel as though to edit and perfect would be to lose the sincerity of my thoughts at the time of writing. A torrent of both love and pain that remains endless, despite the passing of time. A running out of time itself to fulfill all that the heart requires, yet the reality that love transcends the bounds of this time.

This is a poetry book about the seasons. Seasons of life, seasons of love, seasons of loss, seasons of learning. Frigid frosts followed by cautious rebirths then fruitful peaks and finally reflective reconnections. Winter spring summer and fall, again and again we live it all. New, waxing, full and waning. Always cycling, always changing, always revolving, always evolving. Four seasons, four cycles, and four years that culminate in this poetry collection. A gift, 444 me and you.

An adventurous ride throughout the realms. An old man, a member of the secret society, an ancient Sun Cult, The Order of The Golden Rooster, sits in his haunted room in the retirement home that belongs to the Order. He is reading the cursed red leather book that had haunted him throughout his life.The light, the light! Oh how it has punctured me, deeply from within, oh the madness it has caused, the madness of the Gods! Alone I was left, to roam in the darkness. It is a true story of the grotesque days lived during the late 90s/early 00s following Beverly on his grandest quest for knowledge, and the wisdom to understand it as he explores the darkest, innermost corners of his ever-expanding, Eternal Mind. It was written in blood with the aid of his Guardian, who has allowed him to climb over his shoulders, and reach all the way up to the one who is watching it all from above. It was designed to be understood subconsciously. It's theme is that of pure symbolism, and magical interplay of archetypal forces. It is an occult, Luciferian fairy tale, of the death and rebirth of the man called Beverly. Story starts when Beverly begins his life enriching journey on one fateful evening where he met a certain stranger. Mysterious man was wearing red shoes, asking Beverly if he would like to join him on a journey of a lifetime, in the realm outside of known time and space. Without nothing to lose but himself, Beverly accepted stranger's offer and followed him towards an old, numberless, marble building that was built over the Dragon lines, and was hiding inside another, completely different, obsidian building at the number 666. Inside he meets the beings of blue flame with blue flaming eyes, wearing long black hooded cloaks, known throughout the Earth Realm as Demons, Jinn, Familiars. The novella is riddled with the strongest occult symbology. It's full of themes of magic, mystery, brotherhoods, initiations, incantations, evocations, blood, drugs, injections, madness, insanity, shapeshifting, possession, succubus, numerology, and ancient rituals.
