Daily Inspirations and Helps


Book Description

These daily readings are selected from messages the Lord has given me through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit over the past forty-plus years of proclaiming the Gospel of “Jesus Christ and him crucified” (I Corinthians 2:2). Over that time, God has given me short sayings that I would write down, usually in the front of my Bibles. Sometimes, I call them “Clarence-isms,” but if they are of any value then all the credit goes to the Lord, who gives all good things. If there are any that are bad, I’ll take the credit for those!

The Holy


Book Description

They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. They’ve obligingly taken any role we’ve assigned them, and, while needing nothing from us, have accepted whatever we thought was their due – love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion. Even in modern times, when their existence is doubted or denied, they continue to extend invitations to those who would travel a different road, a road not found on any of our cultural maps. But now, perceiving us as a threat to life itself, they issue their invitations with a dark purpose of their own. In this dazzling metaphysical thriller, four who put themselves in the hands of these all-but-forgotten Others venture across a sinister American landscape hidden from normal view, finding their way to interlocking destinies of death, terror, transcendental rapture, and shattering enlightenment.

Gladwin County


Book Description

Gladwin County, named after a British commander of Fort Detroit, is situated in upper mid-Michigan. Settled at the beginnings of the Civil War, this area has been blessed with the ability to survive and thrive from its natural resources and the hardy pioneer and entrepreneurial spirit of its people. The white pine forests provided much of the wood for homes downstate, and the railroads brought in the people to fill lumber camps and towns with names like Cedar (now the city of Gladwin) or Grand Forks (now known as Beaverton) and long-lost crossroads such as Lyle, Hard Luck, and Podunk. As the lumbering era came to a close, the rails brought in farmers to replace the woodsmen. The horses came out of the woods to plow the fields. When the tractor replaced the horse, oil was discovered and a new boom began. But that soon went bust, and Gladwin once again reinvented itself by becoming the thermoforming capital of the world. The area is ripe with waterways, rivers, and lakes, both natural and man-made. Once clogged with logs and now bulging with watercraft, many of the lumber camps from a century ago today have become new recreational settlements.

Broken Man Rebuilt by God


Book Description

We are all born into love, but when and where does one actually learn how to properly love in life without finding themselves lost in what life's obstacles are at each given moment? This is a tale of a man who was involved in many different aspects of love, never having the chance to properly find it in the rarest of its essence the right way how God intended it to be shared. Many detours were taken down a road often traveled by like-minded lost individuals searching for love in all the wrong places, eventually finding that love in its most unique sense is found in an ongoing relationship with Christ first, and anything after that with his blessing will find you. Love is not forced, and it is not physical; it does not hurt, nor does it have a face. Love is love, and when you assume you have it before you allow yourself to make any long-term decisions, make sure you know which love it is you are in. This journal is a reminder that life gives back to you what you give to it, and it is not always fair in the game we call love.




A Surprise for Christmas and Other Seasonal Mysteries

A Christmas pine growing over a forgotten homicide. A Yuletide heist gone horribly wrong.

A most welcome surprise indeed, and perfect to be shared between super-sleuths by the fire on a cold winter's night.
