It is the tenth century, and Gunnar Torkelsson is a farmer whose land is separated from his brother Gyrths farm by a plateau called Bird Mountain. Gunnar, who is still recovering from a blow to the head years ago, is not happy about the new levy imposed by the high and mighty jarl to Earl Hakon. Although Gyrth would rather stick to family and farming, he agrees to gather the neighbors and do what he can to help Gunnar pay his overdue levies. But in just a short time, everything changes when Gunnar is murdered along with his entire family. After Gyrth learns Gunnars farm purportedly belongs to the king because of the unpaid levies, he sets out on a dangerous quest to reclaim what he feels is rightfully his. But within a Viking world where nothing is certain, his mission may be more difficult than he ever imagined.

In this historical novel, a farmer living during the Viking period embarks on an unforgettable journey that transforms his family and the future.
It's 4:00 in the afternoon on November 30th, a special hour in the history of Franklin, Tennessee. Three strangers, who are at an age planning for retirement, and coming from different directions, are thrown together by an inexplicable happening. They don't know what it means, are puzzled by the fact they are the only ones involved, and further confounded when horsemen appear who are amazingly reflective of Confederate cavalrymen. There has to be a reason for all of this, but unraveling the mystery isn't easy. It becomes a challenge that must be met, with efforts to do so leading to a riddle . . . a riddle but not a game. WE THREE KINGS weaves its way through the vagaries of the riddle, which are as clear as the fog that envelopes the area, until it arrives at not only a solution, but also the revelation that the happening might be the most significant in 2000 years. The solution is a call to action, an action that will commit the three for the rest of their days.
The woods are so wild, its impossible to behold them without terror so said Daniel Boone in his day. Its the same world John Anderson finds himself in thousands of years later in Easter Armageddon, where he loves and fights and tragically survives for the next twenty years. These Truths, a sequel, begins with the aftermath of the latest tragedy. Coinciding mountains away, by a process of scintillating complexity, is the resurrection of the remainder of the Chosen, fifteen carefully selected young men and women from the twenty-first century. They, together with John, had pledged to undertake the greatest challenge mankind had ever attempted, the difficulty of which was evident in the history of his consistent failures. With the characteristics of a world nature has reclaimed, there are many subtleties to address and hurdles to cross and dangers to face; but the greatest and most difficult of all, as it has always been, is man and bad wolf within him. To succeed, effort and intention and goodness will not be enough there will be blood.
At Bird Mountain, a week has passed since Sigurth is buried in a grand ceremony that finally recognizes the great person he had been. At the cliff where Sigurth died, two cousins, Gunnar, Sigurth's son, and Garth, Sveyin's, look west at the ocean and decide to cross it. They wish to find if Sveyin is still alive, and if the settlement of Norwegians still remains. What follows is an adventure that is anything but what they expected. They find Sveyin, then journey with him into the depths of an enormous land, the size and nature of which could not have been imagined. GITCHE' MANITOU is about the Native Americans and the nations they encountered along the way, nations that existed 500 year before Columbus whose abilities and achievements were in ways equal to any other on earth.
