God of the Plains
The God of the Plains arrives with European settlers in 1892, who immediately begin the construction of a windmill. It is a fitting god for people who insist on living there, representing the necessary effort to provide themselves life-giving water. At the same time it suggests their Quixotic attitude that the human spirit can prevail over the harsh facts of environment.

Same War - Different Missions
This book recounts the personal WW II experiences of four participants in their very own words. The three American and one German shared many similar and, at the same time, very different experiences. The fighting units of the 82nd Airborne (Sobus) and 23rd Infantry (Robinson) contrast with the support provided by the Special Services Company (Foertschbeck). All four men entered the service, American and German, with a sense of loyalty and duty. All served honorably. As the war in Europe was coming to a close three had thoughts of coming home and then going to Japan to "finish the job". The fourth, Hertrich, was captured by the Russians in Hungary and was a prisoner in a labor camp until November 1949.

Who Was Jackie Robinson?
As a kid, Jackie Robinson loved sports. And why not? He was a natural at football, basketball, and, of course, baseball. But beyond athletic skill, it was his strength of character that secured his place in sports history. In 1947 Jackie joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the long-time color barrier in major league baseball. It was tough being first- not only did "fans" send hate mail but some of his own teammates refused to accept him. Here is an inspiring sports biography, with black-and-white illustrations throughout.

''Being Black''
My book is an autobiography of my life. It shows the up and downs of the Black Man living in a society in which he really has no great impact on his way of living, outside of getting an education, and trying to be an upright man. There were some good and bad times in my life, some of which I had no control over, some of which I regret making the wrong choices. I would like the young readers to understand that there are many obstacles placed in your way on the road from young man to adulthood. It is up to them to make the choices in their life that will set them apart from the average Black Man in America today. We have been stigmatized and harassed over the years, but we must be able to stand tall and hold our heads high. Bring your children up instilling in them right from wrong, and let them know they can make a difference in this world today. The book shows the good times, many bad times and the will I had to be a good American, and man overall. Funny Sad Loveable
