Look down at me and you see a fool.

Look up at me and you see a god.

Look straight at me and you see yourself.

I worked at A.H. Angerstein’s for four years.

Consider this my Farewell Address.

Never be afraid to speak up against a toxic workplace.

Never let them guilt you into subservience after employment agreements have ended under the notion of “don’t burn your bridges.”

Burn your bridges. Speak your mind. It’s the only way they’ll change.

Angerstein’s treated me as if I was the problem, and I’m sure now that I’m gone, for a time they will pretend that everything is fine.

Once the keel is broken, the ship will sink. Angerstein’s broke its keel a long, long time ago.

This is a poem I wrote for an upcoming book, The Proud and the Terrible: Philanthropy IV.

I included possible cover art with unfinished formatting.

From shadows cast, he emerges anew.  A specter of life once thought bid adieu.  His eyes like stars ignite the darkened sky.  A Phoenix reborn, no longer to lie.  Through veils …

Fifteen-year-old Maryanna Duncard’s life is a delicate balance of school and trying to steer clear of her abusive dad, Ethan. When she meets Faron, their connection quickly ignites her life, and they fall deeply in love.

Maryanna is over the moon, and things are going well. Her future looks bright. Until, that is, her father catches them in her room one fateful night and hunts Maryanna’s first love down in cold blood with his Wi******er repeater.

Maryanna turns to the police who, for some strange reason, refuse to believe a word she says. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, they claim Faron’s murder was just a horrific accident.

On the run now and fearful for her life, Maryanna must learn how to survive on her own in a cruel world that has taught her to trust no one.

The next years force her into a downward spiral that almost takes her life. Along the way, she meets a new friend, James, and her journey to love again leads her somewhere she never expected.

Can Maryanna learn to take control of the darkness she carries within, or will it devour her before she can claim her happy ending?

Whatever Happened to Maryanna, the girl with the hair as dark as night, who was in love with the boy with the bright blue eyes?

He was the light of her life and the reason for her smile. He filled her days with joy and made them all worthwhile.

But then he left her. He took his last breath. He slipped away and met death.

She couldn’t bear the pain, she couldn’t face the truth. She lost her self in drugs and wasted away her youth.

She turned to violence and hurt the ones who cared. She pushed them away to hide the pain she couldn’t bear.

In solitude she dwelled, shattered, lost in despair. no dreams to embrace, no hope in the air. Haunted by memories, his silent scream, a ghostly echo in the lonely dream.

Yearning to rewind, alter the moments cast, yet time's grip is firm, the chance slips fast. A wish for the past, where shadows are cast, but alas, nothing endures: she know nothing can last.

Returning, but not to linger in the fray, back te confront a haunting yesterday, a history that shaped her. A truth she can't disclaim.

Back to witness that visage, harbinger of fain, a countenance devoid of solace, no warmth to gain.

Returning to seek the solace sought before.
Longing for the peace she’s yearned, a tranquil shore.

Freedom awaits in the arms of serene reprieve, desening the peace that her heart does perceive.

I'm sorry for what I did, but not fer who I became. I'm not going back to give up. I'm going back to him, to make him feel my pain.

Whatever Happened to Maryanna is coming soon.

Erica keeps getting confused about the names of the Great Lakes, so I taught her an acronym that helped me.

It’s time to step out of the shadows of the mushroom cloud.

This is the fourth time I’ve done this. This is the definitive edition of the book I had originally released in 2018. This is the Fusion World Project, republished under the original title, true title. Formerly Fusion World, formerly Children of the Mushroom Cloud.

I’ve added depth, characters, I’ve refreshed dialogue, rewritten entire chapters. It flows better, no more grammatical errors or thing overlooked during editing. This is perfection.
