As children, we searched for four-leaf clovers and carried a keychain with a rabbit's foot because we were told they were good luck. We were told not to cut the pole or step on a crack on the sidewalk. We put our teeth under our pillow so the Tooth Fairy would leave money. We collected Easter eggs from the Easter Bunny. We tried to stay awake in hopes of getting a glimpse of Santa Claus. We blew out candles and made a wish without questioning who we were making a wish to or who answers wishes. Instead of being told we were created in God's image, just below the angels and were given dominion over the earth, we were told after we die, we could be reincarnated and return as one of the very things we were given dominion over. These tales and exaggerations seem harmless because we mature and grow out of, but I want to address the deliberate and calculated lies and fallacies that are detrimental to our well-being and eternal soul. The pandemic is a word people are familiar with, but not its biblical synonym--pestilence. In addition, when God sends a famine, man will call it a food shortage, so you must learn to discern and observe with your insight and not your eyesight so you can walk by faith and not by sight. God sent plagues/pestilence for judgment, warning, and correction as a result of sin. In biblical days, the leader would hold a solemn assembly of fasting and praying, where they would repent and ask God for forgiveness. Many can't wait to get back to a "normal" that was spiritually abnormal to God. We live in a world where people are more interested in man's concepts than God's precepts, in predictions than prophecy, religion than a relationship, luck than blessings, staying a victim than becoming a victor, more concerned about the unvaccinated than the unsaved, religious tenets than God's commandments, in seminars than sermons, and rather warn us that Santa Claus is coming to town than Jesus is returning, talk about global warming than how cold we are to one another, and climate change than changing the climate of racial tension and discord. People think when we die, that's it. But there is what people call "Life after death," which I call "Life after flesh." Don't just plan for a future that's not promised, but for your eternity that is. Hopefully, my spiritual journey and insight covered in this book as well as my book, The Bible Will Be My Textbook, will help you discover the truth. Seek and you shall find and be set free. I hope in reading, you will experience a spiritual growth spurt as I have. Poetically yours, Raven M. Brown

Hoofprints on the Canadian is a book that is made up of several short stories about the life and times of African Americans in the West.Each story has its own hero and villain. The thing that ties them together is the attempt to showcase African Americans in a different light. The stories prove that the color of a man's skin will not tell you if he is good or bad. It also will not tell you if he is brave or heroic or if he is a sniffling coward.Several of the stories depict Black outlaws who take on the character of Robin Hood. These are men who strike a blow against society on behalf of the downtrodden. Several stories deal with love and expose it to be what it really is-something that drives men to the brink of insanity and yet they cry out for more. It also deals with the common man who is forced into the limelight simply because he is at the wrong place at the right time.Most of these stories are set in the Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. They help to showcase the rich racial makeup of the state. The fact that all of these men are basically the same-some good and some bad.Hoofprints on the Canadian is a title that was conceived by the author at the tender age of twelve. It has traveled around the world, sometimes in print and other times in the dark recesses of his mind. At last, these stories will be brought to light for the world to share. To truly access these stories, all you have to do is simply follow the hoofprints left in the soft sand on the banks of the Canadian.

Arcana, the secrets and mysteries of a land remade by Angels of Light and Darkness, remains in the tales, tomes, and relics scattered through Erilan, a war-torn continent of once-great kingdoms.

The Blood Garden series was a concept I created to explain what may have happened to the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden, and Echoes of Silence is a story, a story where a man can see past the veil and directly into the garden, the darkness that now resides there since the fall of mankind, and his personal inner demons that haunt him and about how he then deals with what he saw when he glimpsed into the garden. He must explore and deal with his reality.

These stories depict true occurrences reflecting how teenagers dealt with the changes arising during these crucial times in our nation's history. A new world was arising and we had a front-row seat to political changes as well as racial and gender issues. As we traversed these issues of family, culture, and racism, we were bolstered by such things as music and art as well as religion and trying desperately to hold on to our traditional values. We clung to one another and our families as we made our way in an ever-changing landscape; and we progressed, we innovated, we adapted, and succeeded in becoming part of the mosaic that became New York City.

He is called Donkey Wolf because his ears are longer than other wolves' ears, and he gets teased because of it. He has been living close to a mining camp because it is easier to eat the food scraps the cook throws out to the dogs than it is to hunt for food on his own. Even though his life has become easier, he is very lonely, and every now and then, he hopes for at least one more adventure in his life. When he overhears the sparrows the miners keep to detect deadly gasses in the mine talking about escape, he decides to help them. He helps free them from their cages and vows to help them get to the ocean to get back on the big, wooden boat that brought them from England to America. They go through a few adventures, good and bad, but with the help of some animal friends and a Native American boy, they get where they are going. What will they find when they get there?
