WE LIVE ON A DANGEROUS PLANET--PREPARE FOR SURVIVAL NOW
”Having experienced personally, during World War II, what deprivation and famine does to people who are used to living in a civil environment, I question why nothing is being done in our advanced society to ensure that famines and other miseries such as the ones described will not be repeated. We are living in a fantasy world which we believe will continue to provide us with our daily needs, especially in terms of food, water and the necessary public services… “

The Book of Ruth
”Young Ruth St. John didn’t know she was poor. It was the middle of the depression in rural Illinois, and no one had money. No indoor plumbing or electricity, heat from coal or wood stoves, these were the norm. She was happy in her life. She was young, pretty, healthy and fit. She spent her days in the little one room school, walking two miles each way. The family was always well dressed—her mother was the best seamstress in the county. Her dresses were made from feed and flour sacks on her mother’s treadle Singer sewing machine. These stories of life in the rural Midwest during the depression are brought to vivid life in this book of memoirs. Ms St. John is an accomplished storyteller, and her memories of her early life in Illinois are touching and vibrant.”

Hickory Road Ramblings, Essays and Photographs on Life and Gardening
"You don't have to live in rural America to appreciate this lovely book about nature and gardening and country living. Dipping into these gentle essays and evocative photographs I have found is the perfect antidote to busy urban lives in our increasingly complicated digital world. Barbara writes soulfully and well of the deceptively "simple things" that are actually quite meaningful- feeling cool breezes, being dazzled by the sight of fireflies at night, picking berries, attending to her flower bed, watching a blanket of drifting snow and moonlight shadows".

A Way Through the Sea (Young Underground #1)
Youth. Christian. “For eleven-year-old Peter Andersen and his twin sister Elise, living in the city of Helsingor, Denmark during World War 2 means German soldiers in the streets, German patrol boats in the harbor, and German fighter planes in the sky. Everyone is nervous, especially their Jewish friend Henrik and his parents. Of course, before the invasion, no one in Denmark cared whether a person was Jewish. But now the Nazis are secretly rounding up all of the Jews who live in Denmark and sending them to prison camps in Germany. Suddenly, Henrik and his family must escape! Sweden offers the only place of refuge, but with soldiers lurking the streets and Nazi boats patrolling the sea, only a miracle can get the Jews to safety!”

The Smallest, Narrowest Places
”The world watched as the giant tsunami hit Sendai, and worked its way through the very foundations of Japan. The world waited with baited breath to hear of news of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant-and those 50 brave men who risked their lives to save their country. But what about all the events and people the world did not hear about? What about those unsung heroes, the brave men and women who did what they could to rebuild their country, and what about the foreigners who call Japan their home? What about those who can no longer tell their story?”

Still Faithful (A Back to Omaha Adventure)
”In the second book of the trilogy, Back to Omaha Adventures, 1870 Pinkerton agent Jason Reynolds hunts mad ex-soldier Cal Moore, suspected of stealing Jefferson Davis' Confederate treasury gold. Reynolds always gets his man but this lunatic is sneakier than most. When Reynolds tracks Moore to the wild frontier town of Omaha, Nebraska, he carefully plans his capture. Posing as a deputy he falls for feisty shopkeeper Arianna Quincy who wants nothing to do with him or his dangerous profession. When Moore is cornered, Arianna is endangered. Can Reynolds get his man and his woman?”

Heartbreak Trail
”1850. Lucy, a pampered New Englander, is dragged by her husband and coldhearted brother-in-law on a wagon train bound for California. The first casualty of the arduous trek is her husband. Lucy longs to return home, but that would mean abandoning her little stepson. How fortunate then that rugged Clint Palance, a former trapper and Indian scout, is watching over them both! As the journey progresses, Lucy faces deprivation, heartache, hardship, and more death. Then, with California just around the bend, Lucy must part from Clint. Will she find him again? Or must she return to a dull life in Boston, forsaking forever the beautiful West she has grown to love? “

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy

America's Fool
”The most lethal poison ever concocted is about to be loosed on Las Vegas. TV reporter Andrew Wright is the only one who can stop the apocalypse. Confronted by madness on all sides, he stumbles into a conspiracy of racial, religious and military fanatics. His only allies are a beautiful Iranian doctor and a mysterious desert wanderer. But who can he really trust? While lunatics on the fringes receive so much media attention, Wright must resist the spotlight and somehow do the right thing. He must make the decisions that truly patriotic Americans now face.”

Immoral Consensus
“'How did such large quantities of explosives, chemical and biological agents get into Europe so easily?' Rushing to Paris, a city paralysed by brutal terrorist attack that has left many thousands dead, fashion photographer David Beckett seeks information about the fate of his friend and business partner. Together with ex-patriate American detective Robert Merrick, David is propelled into an investigation that takes him through Europe to the troubled Middle East. Caught up in the mother of all conspiracy theories, he is pushed into a deadly race between the authorities, the terrorists and undercover agents, all of them convinced that he knows some dangerous truth; a truth David must somehow uncover before he is silenced forever.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures

Beneath the Veil (Ravage Trilogy)
”In 2023 “the Ravage” came and the world changed forever… Forty years later, fearsome New York journalist Seraph Maddon travels to England to attend the funeral of her last-remaining relative, bridal shop owner Eve. Long-hidden truths await her that will not only make her question her place in the world, but may also hold the key to unlocking the facts about the terrible events of four decades ago. As she heads home, a chance encounter with ex-army doctor turned virologist Ryken Hardy sends the pair on an explosive journey through the crumbling, desolate landscape of a once-thriving nation, as they delve deeper into a conspiracy that will test them to the limit. Love and courage will be their most potent weapons as they head toward a meeting with destiny, and terrible sacrifices may need to be made to expose the truth once and for all.”

Journal
”The year is 2054. Global Warming, disease, famine, and war have decimated the human population. Alan Trent, a particularly ambitionless man, who avoids trouble "just like I avoid poison oak and all other things uncomfortable," finds a set of journals while scavenging through a house for food in what used to be Washington State. The journal's author was a woman named Claire Huston. Her words inspire Alan to continue writing in her journals in the hope that by doing so "her humanity will somehow stay alive ...." She also causes him to do something wholly uncharacteristic -- rescue a boy from a group of men. He rescues the boy all right, but it's much more complicated than that. What follows is a deadly game of hide-and-seek, hardship, and survival, where, at every turn, Alan is forced to confront his own humanity.”

Calitopia Episode 1- The Dream Come True
A short introductory episode of a coming series.
”Keto Smith lives in a perfect world. Calitopia. A world with no crime, no wars, no inequality, and no poverty. Built on the ashes of a former corrupt and crumbled society, Calitopia is utopia. Or is it? Follow Keto as he embarks on an accidental journey of discovery and subversion. Through each episode, Keto will unravel more secrets, more lies, and more truths about Calitopia. Will Keto learn to love Calitopia even with its flaws, or will he strike out against the once beloved Calitopia? What will the Calitopian government do to Keto if they discover his subversion?”

The Chosen
” In the future, the U.S. government will be able to detain American citizens indefinitely without trial. … your loved ones will leave for work one day and disappear, and you will never know what happened to them. … only a small group of Americans will be willing to stand for freedom. What if the future were now? In this heart-stopping sequel to The Planner , Kris and Keith Mitchell are about to discover what it means to be The Chosen.”

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish

A Cold Black Wave
”The USC Westbound carries the last remaining survivors of the human race. After nearly twenty years searching for a new home or signs of intelligent life, an incurable virus spreads on the ship and threatens to kill mankind once and for all. In a desperate attempt to save the human species, two immune teenagers are put into cryostasis and sent into deep space. When they finally awaken, the sins of mankind's past haunt them and threaten, one way or another, to kill them both and forever close the chapter on our existence.”

Paradise
”While locked in stasis, a solar storm ravages the planet, burning the life from those exposed and bringing society to ruin. Helpless in the stasis pod, Hope absorbs an educational augmentation program, …Plagued with the unending monotone voices lecturing knowledge implanted during stasis, Hope tries to adapt to this new world, to this small tribe, themselves failing to illness, to a dwindling food supply, and the unrelenting taking of the Amabo. “
