Recently, Hal read on YouTube and other places about a group of perhaps a hundred people, worldwide, who have perfect recall: they remember everything and often have very emotional reactions to vivid parts of their life which they are able to evoke. And this bit of interesting trivia pointed him in the direction of "Deadliest Love." His first-person character, Jesse Jacobs, tells of his struggles with hyperthymesia and its influence on his life as he tries to expand his computer chip business, as he falls in love, and as he attempts to avoid what the FBI has explained is a multiple Russian assassination attempt. He is able to intertwine Jesse's personal struggle with the ongoing and very rea...
Self-acceptance is a critical element of self-esteem, particularly in today's culture where we are more valued by what we do and what we have as opposed to who we are. So, we chase after some notion of what is going to make us happy with ourselves never finding a truly satisfying answer. The Life and Times of Dexter: A Tale of Spider Webs and Self-Discovery, speaks to everyone children, teens and adults.

They help him realize that by caring for others, he is able to feel the kind of peace and joy that only true self-acceptance can bring.

After many late night discussions and debates, we decided to write a play exploring how this horrific incident affected the survivors, Joan and her mother. We wanted the play to highlight Joan as she transitioned from an innocent 15 year old to a 16 year old marred by fate and the legal sy...
Summary of Braving the Shadows Local leaders in a village in Cucuta, Colombia struggle with ways to improve their town and to prevent the continued encroachment of land-grabbers and an over zealous government. At the same time, half a world away, a small town in Kentucky is struggling to unravel a murder and a counterfeiting ring. It becomes apparent to the local sheriff and a Secret Service agent who have joined forces that the murder and counterfeiting problems are but a small part of their town's difficulties; and as they uncover the international nature of these crimes, the body count increases.

Three children imprisoned for years because of their ancestry, their final release into a world as foreign to them as it would be if they were on another planet; their struggles, failures, and triumphs as they yearn for and finally achieve adulthood, trying to manage the gifts left to them by their progenitors: all of this combines to produce a fast-paced novel encompassing scenes which would be familiar to aficionados of The Time Travelers Wife, as well as to those who lean toward Star Trek.
