Six-year-old Jerry snuck into the bread last night. He ate the last two slices. He took quite a beating when Momma informed Daddy there was no bread for his lunch the next day. Jerry’s lips are stuck shut with dried blood, his forehead bruised from being slammed into the corner where he’s standing, smiling inside. His belly’s full. They can beat him all they want. The next morning he is gone and his four-year-old brother, Peter, with him. Where did they go, the police want to know. So does Momma and seven-year-old Timmy, Jerry’s brother and oldest of the Turner children. The tenement is on fire. Flame tongues lick the walls on the fourth floor where the Turners live. The linoleum is a living thing, bubbling and breathing, belching cockroaches up from the lower floors. Daddy is passed out drunk and Momma frantic to wake him to save him, to save them, her seven children. He doesn’t disappoint her as he comes awake, swats her away, “Get off me, bitch!” A hero emerges from the drunken bag of his body, finds a way to save them all. Momma was a Catholic, Daddy was a drunk. Momma was born in a chicken coop behind her grandfather’s mansion in the Ozarks, Missouri before he hung himself and blew his brains out over gambling debts and slave blood. Her father was the ashamed half-breed offspring of this white man and his Cherokee slave woman. At four-years-old, she was abandoned to a Catholic orphanage along with her two older sisters. Daddy was born on a ranch in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a twin and his mother’s favorite. His twin brother was left in an outhouse at a campground in the mountains on his fourth birthday. His momma, unhappy in her marriage to a ranch hand, had found herself a new man who refused to take on the responsibility of two little bastards. She kept Daddy, threw the other one away. Her new man disciplined the boy with an iron hand and a coal shovel. I lived the life and Momma told me the stories of life before me. She didn’t like it much that I wrote things down and made songs to sing out of the fabric of our lives and her tales. She needed me though and I think she was desperate to tell it all, to give her life substance. I swore an oath not to breathe a word of it to a soul until she was gone. She is passed, the grass grown long over the paths she walked. I am the son alive in the mist, no umbrella, of Momma’s Rain. [more]

"He paused “You know, some say that “woman” is the most powerful force in the world. For the most part I would say that analysis is right, but for people like me,” he went on, “she has a rival, the sea and I’ve thought about this a lot. When I’m at sea I can feel safe, supported, like with a mother, but the sea is also feisty, exciting, fickle as well as smooth and gentle, like a lover. We seamen still like women but almost as a distraction - the sea is our main love” [more]

Morgan Blackwood and Whitney Stellar are two girls from completely different worlds, even time settings, but will fate eventually bring them together and rock everything they might have known in a world that is nestled into the dark hands of the Night Clan? Morgan Blackwood is a young girl from Stoke, England. Growing up in a fairly middle class household, she suffered most of her life in the hands of stomach cancer. Morgan is determined to have her strange red-eyed friend, Liam Gogh, to change her into a vampire before the cancer takes her life. Her decision to become a member of the Night Clan can have dire consenquences, but she is willing to leave her life behind for the only chance she has to survive. Will her religious family get in the way of pursuing her destiny, or will Liam Gogh be unwilling to taint her soul and turn her into a 'monster'? Whitney Stellar, the complete opposite of Morgan, was born into a life of abuse and neglect. After running away from her problem, she involves herself with the wrong people, battling drug addictions and a rather unhealthy prostituition lifestyle. After endless therapy and rehabilitation, she will have to take a different course of action to clean herself up, even if that means she has to face the one thing she, as a human, was taught to fear: vampires. (this book and several suggestive scenes and bad lanugage) [more]

We live in complicated times all that we are and what we do is connected with everything that surrounds us, any action will cause a reaction and no matter how hard you try not to interfere in other people’s lives it is totally impossible to do so. This book is about consequences about a person who may or may not be fragile in the mind, how every action will push our subject to the extremes, opening deep wounds and manipulating his paranoid ways. It shows how a simple smile can push a person gently through the day without hindrance from the usual problems that we all face, yet on the other hand just a misplaced word could cast our subject into a whirlpool of despair that will make the next twenty hours hell. There is a chain reaction in every second that we breathe, a knock on effect that like a domino run will continue rippling into the future colliding with unsuspecting victims, this is the GEO in our lives as we are all anchored to this earth and we are all interacting lost souls. The poet continues to explore the dark regions of our lives bringing the cockroaches into the open but for all the bad news in-between the chaotic verses there will always be a little hidden silver lining waiting to be found.
