  This collection of 80 poems is meant to bring encouragement and inspiration to anyone who has ever thought, or dreamed, of writing, whether personally or professionally. Writing takes many forms, whether it’s a letter, diary, blog, article, story, play, poem or novel. I will confess my writing leans in favor of fiction. 
  These poems are also meant for readers because we cannot have one without the other. The goal of any author is to have universal appeal. Thank you for considering the work of this author.

  Wall Street Journal Bestseller 
  It was the right thing to do. And someone had to do it. 
  Aziz was more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux during Chad's eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved Chad's life. And then he needed Chad to save his. 
  When President Joe Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robichaux knew he had to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. As the rescue team began to go to work, they became aware of thousands more--US citizens, Afghan allies, women, and children--facing persecution. 
  This gripping account of two war heroes and friends puts human hearts and names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments in our history, giving you a closer look at:The resilience of Afghanistan and its peopleThe twenty-year war that took place under four presidentsA mission accomplished and the work that’s still to be done 
    
  Saving Aziz is more than a story of war and rescue: it's about breaking down prejudice and apathy--and why risking it all is worth it when it comes to loving one another. 
    
  Praise for Saving Aziz: 
  "Saving Aziz is the story of two warriors...brought together by war and a brotherhood forged through years of battling...for the cause of freedom and captures the heroic efforts of those who took action to not only rescue Aziz and his family in the US withdrawal but thousands of others." 
  --Tim Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, US Army Special Forces, Sniper

  A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. 
  Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.

  The Viking Age - Raiders and...

  The story of the Vikings begins in the rugged, coastal lands of Scandinavia, where modern-day Norway, Sweden, and Denmark now stand. These northern regions, characterized by their cold climate, deep fjords, and dense forests, shaped a resilient and resourceful people. Isolated by geography and challenged by limited arable land, the early Norse communities developed a strong connection to nature, the sea, and their close-knit societies. Life in Scandinavia during the early Middle Ages was not easy, but it fostered a culture of survival, adaptability, and innovation. 
  At the heart of Viking society was a deep belief in their mythology and gods. Norse mythology offered a complex system of deities, heroes, and mythical creatures that guided the moral and spiritual lives of the people. Central figures like Odin, the wise All-Father; Thor, the thunder god and protector; and Freyja, the goddess of love and fertility, were not just worshipped but also deeply integrated into the everyday lives of the Norse. These myths were passed down through oral storytelling, poetic sagas, and ritual practices, helping to create a shared identity among the diverse Scandinavian tribes. 
  Viking society was organized into a hierarchical structure that valued strength, honor, and loyalty. At the top were the jarls, or chieftains, who held power over clans and led warriors into battle or on raids. Below them were the karls, the free farmers, craftsmen, and traders who formed the backbone of Viking communities. At the bottom were the thralls, or slaves, who were usually captured during raids or born into servitude. Despite this stratification, Viking culture emphasized personal achievement and reputation, allowing individuals to rise in status through bravery, skill, and loyalty.
