One and Only Observer

This is an autobiographical narrative, a collection of poetry and short fiction, a travelogue, and a living memoir.

It’s a portrait of myself and the world as I see it. It includes accounts of unusual experiences, correspondence with others on the path of life, journal entries and pictures.

I recommend this book.  I think it’s worth your taking the chance.

If you’ve ever gazed at anything with a feeling of wonder, we could be similar. If you’ve ever been tempted to venture into the unknown and pursue or try something, we have something in common. If you’ve lived in a world that did not fulfill you, but you felt deep inside that there was something really big, and Real, only, you didn’t have it, then I recommend Portrait.  We “birds of a feather” should encourage each other to march to the beat of our own drums.

Portrait of a Seeker is available on Amazon and from other online and brick-and-mortar book sellers.  You can also order it from your local brick & mortar bookstore.

This little book is the distilled “wisdom” related to the time I spent desperately seeking meaning.   A Handyman’s Common Sense Guide to Spiritual Seeking is available on Amazon and other book sellers.  You can order it from your local brick & mortar bookstores.  It is also listed on the TAT Foundation Press webpage.

I wrote this adventure story for my eight-year-old son, Ben, for Christmas when he was eight.  My French artist wife at the time, Andrée, illustrated the book with more than twenty pencil drawings and she painted its cover image. Ben and the Dragon is available on Amazon and from other online and brick & mortar book sellers.

Ben and the Dragon is taken from our family life. Two brothers, a mother and father, a dog, the house we live in, our village pond, home painting projects, Lego’s, sledding, and Christmas lights—everything was shuffled and arranged but never changed.  The only made-up thing in this story is the dragon’s world, which was influenced by my ideas about my wife’s home country.
I imagined what Ben would do and think during his dragon adventures.  I wanted to make him a story-present where he was the main character.

One early winter day, a boy named Ben saw a dragon in the water….

Situations Of I was fun to write, and is available on Amazon.  I hope you enjoy it.

A time-traveling salamander; a UFO abducting a vintage covered bridge; an autobiography of light; musings on dinosaur religion and explorations of life, meaning and existence are among the subjects of my fourth published work. Profane and profound, Situations is centered on the free-floating magic reality I take completely for granted: individual awareness. This collection of essays, short stories and poetry emerged from my life while living in the village of Flushing, Ohio. With titles such as “Home is Where I Live,” “Gasoline Planet,” “A Blade Hanging, Overhead,” “Eternal Burgers,” and “Hollow Houses,” each piece challenges me and the reader to delve inside and question what we “know for sure.”

The normal boundaries separating a writer, narrator, characters, story, and the reader are oddly permeable in tHe. As though accidentally looking through the wrong end of a telescope, tHe’s reader will find themselves gazing down, into, and through a squinting eye peering up at the night sky.

After lying patiently on my operating table for ten years, tHe is finally stitched together. It’s my first novel, and fifth published book.

Enjoy!
