COSSACK IDEALIST Stefan Denosevic, 30 something pathologically and comically naïve Cossack in WWI sees only the good in people, blind to anything sinister. His only useful skills are that he is a master horse trainer, brilliant-self taught surgeon and savant idiot who is a source of entertainment to his Comrades in the field and his family/village back home.  After being sent back home with a fake promotion so that he doesn’t endanger his Army buds on the Front, he is led, by his horse, to an herb which gives him advanced intelligence enabling him to see the seedy side of humanity, particularly in the town he grew up in which is now a mob run black market operation with no shortage of moral and political corruption.  As a born again ‘cynic’, Stefan uses all manner of sometimes devious manipulation to transform his home into a cooperative Paradise in the middle of the vicious Russian Civil War, but at the price of his humanity and happiness with escalating problems he never imagined possible.  The story is told from the perspective of the horse, a human soul who after eating too much of the herb himself was reincarnated into an equine body.

Tyme Warped Barry Davies, a 70 year old cynical, outspoken but kinder than he thinks misanthrope , is stuck in a loveless marriage with a wife (Olivia) he used to be inspired by, a politically-correct world which doesn’t appreciate his artistic grit and genetics which will soon put him into a world of his own via Alzheimer’s disease. A chance encounter with a brilliant, intense and super attractive 22 year old physics nerd as isolated from humanity as he is (Tanya, who is much like what Olivia used to be) gives Barry a chance to time travel with her into the past so that he can wake up into realities in the ‘now’ which are better for him, her and the world. Tanya supervises the perhaps real or perhaps imagined trips to key historical moments in human history with specific agendas, but due to ignorance, ego and thinking that he knows what is best, Barry does things in the past that create an even worse ‘present time’ for everyone, in the ways that really matter anyway. Eventually, the attempts to correct the past with key historical figures so that the ‘future’ is better for everyone bring back situations in Barry, Olivia and Tanya’s past which are in severe need of fixing. A time travel tale told with abundance of social satire, from the gut humor and humanistic hope for many better futures.

DE-POSSESSING DEMONS You don’t know me, or my story, but in the event that you do want to find out about someone who has seen, jumped into and, I think anyway, emerged from the abyss, maybe it is worth some of your precious life time and soul energy to relate this to you. As someone, like you, who is trying to be part of the solution rather than the ongoing, complicated and increasingly ‘colorful’ set of problems we face, or create, today. But then again, is being a problem to others a way to challenge others to become their own solutions? OK, as my more down to earth connected friends would say, no more than one thought per sentence. Which works maybe for simple language books in German, but not the way real Germans speak, write or think. Or used to speak, write or think when the heroes of the Germans were Goethe, Bach, Beethoven and Kalfa rather than Air Supply and AC-DC. But what happens when you become part of the solution and the problem at the same time? Depends on perspective I suppose. Yet one thing that is true from all perspectives…In the process of trying to understand ignorance and halt the cruelty that happens as a result of such, even the cleanest of souls get dirty. Even for Docs like me who have taken a vow to ‘above all do no harm’. And who found out soon enough that if you want to make an omelet which contains all the vitamins, minerals and mind altering meds a hungry world needs, you gotta break some eggs and make a mess in the kitchen. And, sometimes get some egg on your own face. Or have your own fragile skull get broken and have your own sanity scrambled in the frying pan we call…the real world.

Twilight of the Potential Immortals 1st Chapter CHAPTER 1 The plateau was on no particular mountain, and every mountain, both at the same time. Trees ranging in species from tropical willow, to deciduous birch to ever-green Douglass fur that had survived eons of climatic changes spoke to each other about their experiences, and who they had witnessed on this plateau of transition that always remained the same, to the human eyes as their bearers were acquiring other ocular sensors. In the center of it was a collection of fourteen rocks arranged in a circle, each of them throbbing their own color. Some of those hues had names on ‘planet earth’, and some emitted colors which had not been named yet by mortals, as the evolution of the human species regarding its Creative potential was still a ‘Work in Progress’.

Eternal life vs…Life 1st Chapter CHAPTER 1 The skin-covered lump of bones, tendons, muscle and fluids of various smells as well as consistencies lay before Doctor Michalovitch as he put his stethoscope on the area where all the books, and his decades of real life experience, said there was a heart.   Despite the advances in science and devolutions in the muscle between the ears that had transpired in the last 60 years of the 21st century in the world around him, the aging but defiantly not-extinct old-fart medical dinosaur who had been practicing medicine still believed that the heart was stronger, and smarter than the mind, or brain.  And, so far anyway, that intensity-conferring fluid-pumping organ still lay on the left quadrant of the chest rather than between the legs. The cardiac tissue in this patient, the one he was born with amazingly enough, was still pumping blood to organs that needed them at the rates required for ambulatory life, and then some.

Utopia Falls – first chapter Utopia Falls, Wyoming, 1869, a new town in a new territory which attracts determined people from conflicting political ideologies, nationalities, races, ethnicities and genders, all wanting to create a Paradise resembling what they had at home, but with them on top this time. Very much in the spotlight is the issue of giving women the right to vote, hold office and own property, along with whether Utopia will be run by profit-seeking Capitalists who believe in survival of the fittest, or service-oriented Democratic Socialist ‘Anarchists’ who want an ‘each gives according to their ability and takes according to their needs’ mandate as the only law enforced. Orchestrating and studying the events behind the scenes is Harvard-educated ‘Doc’, an academically-altruistic James Spader-like intellectual who uses his position as the town doctor and his skills as a clever manipulator of people to set up interesting social experiments, intended to study human nature and create an ideal Enlightened society that he can show off to his family and friends back East. But, Doc winds up becoming part of his own social experiment, suffering the consequences of the liberations he makes possible, then having to correct them by dealing with powerful adversaries he has made, basic human nature and complications originating from his own Wyoming-based family. In 1921, this sole, now mad, remaining citizen of Utopia relates the tale of the noble experiment to a young female doctor/aspiring Western writer who is lured to the ghost town, who he hopes will set the record straight regarding Utopia, and the real history of Wyoming that the Dime Novels and Cowboy Movies do not dare reveal.

Luminescent Sisterhood

Elena Gonzalez Schwartz, 65 years still-idealist Canadian Socialist-activist writer and self-made contemporary mountain woman, has her hands full trying to (a) hold on to her job at a local newspaper where her attempts to write real stories are quenched by a stuck up and popular power bitch editor, (b) keep her own horses/dogs fed at home along with the strays that find their way to her door, (c) serving the medical needs of the neighborhood critters without a license to practice medicine and (d) processing the death of yet another Old German, her beloved landlord, who died of cancer in her beloved haven of Freshwater, BC, a small mountain town which is dying slowly, economically and psychologically.

PURIFIKATION

Like virtually every other POW holding facility in North America, the German soldiers in Camp 359. buried deep in the Louisianna Bayou are given clothes, food, shelter, recreational activity and a healthy helping of  Democracy which is designed to de-Nazify them. So it appears in the press and to the brass anyway, though the reality of life there is far different due the wheelings and dealings of US Army Commandant Major Horatio Smith. The former Police Chief of the Parish and local Kingpin abuses, sells, kills, steals from and extorts whatever he can from the German POWs just as he does to any Colored soldier or civilian who is unfortunate to be under his command, or within the boundaries of his kingdom. Attempting to see that the German POWs, most of whom were drafted and are NOT Nazis, are treated humanely, and that upidy Colored souls in Lord Horatio’s domain are spared lynching, is Major Wilhelm Whitaker, a brilliant and compassionate German Army Doctor who, despite wearing a German uniform, is as anti-Nazi as one can be. Whitaker has a secret past which fuels his dedication to saving humanity wherever he can. But if found out, it could severely limit his ability to help anyone in need, as well as allow the demons lingering inside of him to take him over. By ‘coincidence’, Wilhelm’s half brother, a brutal, clever and brilliantly manipulative SS Officer, gets sent to the Camp, setting into motion a chain of events that not only threatens Whitaker’s attempts to save as many lives as he can, but could unleash a rein of Fascist terror that would destroy the very fabric of American Democratic life, even if the US forces in Europe win the War.

Inversion: The Relativity of Wealth

Countries are defined by borders, currency and, by themselves anyway, constitutions. Those documents over the ages have been written on paper, stone, papyrus and, in the case of very small countries, the hearts and minds of the citizens. Such was the Country of Hartunia, a once sprawling 18th Century Carrebean island of several hundred runaway slaves, as many free-capitalist pirates and a handful of displaced English Lords who negotiated sales of good with the mainland. In the 19th Century, the spirit of Revolution drove the Hartunians away from the island, but a few returned. Those that did hosted Confederate sugar planters who knew as much about planting crops as they did about how to whip the Yankees into surrendering to the Stars and Bars. After the crops failed, the rains came, then the winds, then a hurricane that established Mama Nature as the real boss of Hartunia.
