N' Everything
Bifford and Lily continue their love and adventure, that were begun in The Writer, A Story By Bifford Debs, M.D. and The Reader, Responses to The Writer. This story begins at a Writers' Conference, an idyllic setting at the beach in North Carolina. It continues in geographical places in several states and into provinces in China. Much of the venture, however, occurs in terrains of science and the humanities. Societies through the world, and later into other universities are entered and examined. The term, 'fusional fiction' is justified by the inclusion of much factual information. While Readers' responses are addressed, it is the wisdom of Professor Wiseman that sets this book apart and sets the stage for those to come.

Red Man's Will
As Red Man's Will traces the seamless evolution of World War II into the Cold War, it closes the trajectories of two German brothers--one of them the pilot-protagonist, who has taken an American identity, the other a Nazi doctor tired of his long exile in Chile's remote southland. The story opens in a Vienna field hospital as the war winds down in Europe, unfolds in England, Arizona, and Chile, and ends in Brittany about thirty years later.

Jewish Community of North Minneapolis
The stories of the Jewish community of North Minneapolis are an important part of the rich and diverse mosaic of North Minneapolis history. By 1936, there were more than 16,000 Jew in Minneapolis, and 70 percent of them lived on the North Side. The Jewish Community of North Minneapolis presents an intriguing record of the earliest beginnings of Jewish communities in the city. Through the medium of historic photographs, this book captures the cultural, economic, political, and social history of this community, from the late 1800s to the present day. The Jews in North Minneapolis enjoyed a busy social and cultural life with their landsmanschaften, and shopped together at the kosher butcher shops and fish markets, grocery stores and bakeries, clothing stores, barber shops, restaurants, and other small businesses that had sprung up along Sixth Avenue North and then Plymouth Avenue. Including vintage images and tales of the community-Hebrew schools, synagogues, and social groups-this collection uncovers the challenges and triumphs of the Jewish community.
