IN THE WEEDS, Civil Rights

Fifty-five years ago this month, Bull Connor directed the police department of Birmingham, Alabama to sic police dogs on peaceful protesters. He also ordered the fire department to spray protesters with high-pressure hoses. These tactics backfired on Connor – widespread news coverage of these outrages brought public condemnation down on Connor’s head, ensuring the passage of the Civil Rights Act only one year later.

My humorous novel IN THE WEEDS uses a cut-rate Bull Connor in the…

Literary Review, IN THE WEEDS

I received a literary review from Martha A. Cheves (BookTown Review), who put a big smile on my face. 

"I sat on Bian's bed, staring out the only window in the tiny room.  She'd been looking west, toward the Everglades.  The fleeting patches of sun a couple days ago probably would have seemed familiar to her, perhaps like her memories of Vietnam.  Here, she'd known nothing but…

Book review of IN THE WEEDS, by author and blogger Michele Stegman

I first “met” Mark Ozeroff when I edited his first book, Days of Smoke, for Asylett Press. In the Weeds, is his second book and it is well worth the wait!

In the Weeds by Mark Ozeroff is a story of a Vietnam veteran working through his own brand of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the early 1970’s. Sometimes gallant and heroic, Slats Kisov often does more than just bend the rules and the law. But through it all, he retains his own morality, which includes helping the weak and…

Weed Reads

In preparation for the mid-August release of IN THE WEEDS, I post another listicle, Weeds Reads: 10 Excellent Pot-Related Books. This one compares my novel to some of the top marijuana-related novels published since the ‘60s. I don’t know if this will help boost my book to readers, or land me on some kind of governmental watch list, but here you go:

IN THE WEEDS, Preparing for Release

In preparation for the planned August 10 release of IN THE WEEDS, here is a Listicle. There may be a few folks as clueless as I recently was, so I'll explain that a listicle is a short article comparing my book to others written from a similar standpoint (in this case, absurdism). I put myself in some high-falutin' company, here:

Poem: An Ease In My Soul

The tangible presence of Jehovah,

is an overwhelming ease in my soul;

the wearisome cares of this World

slough off, reaffirming His control

over all of creation, time and space.

His sense of freedom from hardships,

constraints, embarrassments, pain,

and efforts dissipate as relationship

with Him, overpowers Life’s moments

in quick glimpses of divine intimacy.

The peace of Heaven calms my spirit,

whenever I give myself to Him and…

Poem: In the Direction of Joy and Hope

Do you know what Christian Hope is?

Is it a proper, confident expectation

of future, good things, yet to come?

Are you fully grounded on the tenets

of Faith, as part of a holy nation?

Can you share the Gospel with others?

Why is Christ’s death considered news?

Is the work of God regenerating in you?

Do you know of the sacred promises given?

Are you living Life… with Faith infused?

Do you expect that Christ will return?

Have you…

Poem: In Him Alone

In Him alone, I find perfect rest for my spirit.

My soul’s satisfaction is girded by Salvation;

Christ is my rock, my fortress of protection,

and the lasting source of my Faith’s foundation.

In Him alone, I place my entire, unshaken trust.

Today, the enemy continues to assault my soul,

using his pain weapon of lie-laden speech;

yet, His Love exudes power that makes me whole.

In Him alone, I have placed my heart’s hope.

My dependence, remains on…

Poem: In His Hands

Although I’m still clay,

upon God’s pottery wheel,

He continues to mold me.

Fashioned after His image,

He reworks this human vessel

to accomplish what He sees…

in the combination of gifts

that were previously bestowed,

into this elysian creation.

Mirroring Christ’s brokenness,

I can share in His suffering,

from fully embracing Salvation.

Free of the law of sin and death,

my unveiled face radiates His Love,

as I am ‘taking…

Still Life In Shadows

Still Life In Shadows by Alice Wisler is a book with many layers. There is a thread of romance, but the real theme of the book is learning to forgive, learning to let go, and learning to trust yourself. The very unique thing about this book is that it is written from two very different points of view, and not those that you would expect. Gideon Miller escaped from the Amish community fifteen years ago. He has managed to carve out a life for himself as a mechanic and an…

Poem: Etched In Stone

Ongoing studies of Egyptian history

demonstrate lessons can still be learned.

Their oversized achievements were possible,

by having its peoples’ hearts turned…

to the idea of a national identity.

Around the Nile’s life giving source,

the commonality of personal survival

eventually produced an effective workforce.

Since times of Middle Eastern antiquity,

the annual flooding of the coastal plains

created the opportunities to trade away
