Humanity has come to a pinnacle in time.

We see the results of all of these doctrine teachings and we now have two choices to make.

One to keep going down the same path we are going or to change. Change on a massive scale that starts by the power of 2. I am writing this today and someone will read it. That is the power of 2. You, in turn will read my post and will reply to this, or you will show someone else. That is also the power of 2. This will become a viral thing. One reaches the other and you become the teacher and in… Continue

Murder Most Foul - A Classical Tale from Ancient India

Murder Most Foul

When the sun retired on cool evenings, purple shadows crept across the fields and villagers sat in stout, mud-brick houses either gossiping or telling stories. The elders sat closest to slow burning fires of cow-dung cakes dried during summer’s ferocity, and whenever they mentioned King Chitraketu’s name, they praised him.

Yet the king found his life more barren than a desert because he had not received a son from any of his wives. Whether he resided in… Continue

THE TRUTH OF FICTION

When I worked for the Sheriff's Department in Fresno, I created a saying and put it on a rolling banner as a screen saver: “A Writer Reinvents the Truth.”

This was never more accurate than when I wrote my first book, FOOLS RUSH IN. I took the first case I worked as a secretary for an undercover narcotics team and fictionalized it to include a kidnapping, two murders and a budding romance.

On August 13, I was invited to speak to a book club three hours away on the Pacific… Continue

Does Prison Reform Work?

The word penitentiary originates from the Pennsylvania Quakers’ belief in penitence and self-examination as a way of achieving salvation. The first American penitentiary was the Walnut Street Jail, established in Philadelphia in 1790. The structural pattern of outside cells, along with the central corridor, was introduced at Walnut Street Jail and soon became the major architectural feature of prison construction. Walnut Street Jail was also the place where solitary confinement was permanently… Continue
