St. Michaels, Maryland, is a town of shipbuilders whose reputation for crafting powerful schooners carries far beyond the shores of young America. And once the War of 1812 starts, that's not necessarily a good thing. For the British have targeted the town as part of their campaign to defeat America in its fight to maintain its independence. And now, in August of 1813 the British fleet is sailing up the Chesapeake River to St. Michaels. The town's militia is assembled but no one expects they can win the fight against the powerful British cannons. Citizens are being evacuated and the town is in turmoil. All young Henry Middle wants to do is find his father amid the chaos of the coming attack. The lanterns he carries will be of use to the militia. As Henry works to conquer his rising fear, he realizes he may hold the answer to outsmarting the British in his very hands.

Kelly Titan is the beginning of a grounded, dark and character-driven science fiction universe where the reader will explore the origin story of a villain with a mental disorder. The focus will lie heavily on character development. However, many antagonists start their journey as someone good, but the perspective will change throughout the series, later to experience the story from Kelly's new perspective as the main villain. The reader will get the chance to explore why good people turn bad, and why bad people turn good. The story will explore Kelly's path of emotions and hard choices. In my mind, characters need to evolve and have real flaws that people can relate to. This story will dive headfirst into the grey zone of choices, the birthplace of those flaws. For many people, being good was a luxury, and on a planet ruled by sweat, blood and black smoke, goodness was a commodity rarely used. It was a commodity needed to be forged by the strongest of minds.

In the beginning God created man and woman.Reflections on Selected ScripturesA Christian Layman's Informal CommentaryRobert L ParkThe Great Eye of God That Ever Beholds us AllReflections is an informal and personal commentary on selected Bible passages by a Christian layman. Its purpose is to encourage others to read and study the Bible more often and to write informal commentaries themselves-the best way I know to come into closer orbit around God. With the exception of my life's experience with Jesus Christ, I found writing this commentary to be the greatest adventure of my life.

It stars an orphan tomboy named Kelly Titan, an advanced computer scientist with the brains over brawn to her advantage. She was taken from the streets of Earth at a young age to a mining planet, Quill, to work on a project she never knew the real purpose for. Soon she became a part of a new family and gained a purpose. What she didn't know was that she was working on a next generation overwatch system called Olympus. A system keeping millions of people trapped on Quill, never to return back to Earth. All given the promise of a high reward. Instead, they were all fooled and became slaves under Olympus watching eye. Millions of humans became stranded on the red desert planet, only to extract fuel back to Earth. Kelly will understand that what she helped to created wasn’t just a overwatch system, it was the very foundation of which a new kind of slavery was built on. An intergalactic treadmill to drain Earth from the unwanted. Upon deeper discovery, Kelly will find herself in the middle of an alien civil war that the humans have started and funded to keep the fear amongst the colony workers. Kelly will be given the opportunity to become the bridge between the humans and the natives, but in order to become the bridge and save a planet from oppression, she has to go against her own creation, her own family.
