Yellow Fever -- September 2008 -- New Edition
This is an updated version of last years Yellow Fever, but with much more editing
which was done professionally and also through a peer group. The story has been
filled out and expanded in several places and trimmed in others. I wanted to add the
Thailand Chapter, but have again followed the advice of a few folks that have very
wisely directed me to keep it out. Maybe one day it will make it back in, but not yet.
PDF Excerpt of Yellow Fever for purposes of consideration.

Yellow Fever -- 2007
Early edition of the book distributed by iUniverse. I came to find out that the print file
used for this version was not the final document that I sent them, but a much earlier
version instead. I complained but it fell on deaf ears.
This version is currently for sale on Amazon, but should soon be removed completely
by October.
During The Apocalypse -- 2006 Poetry Compilation
Yes, this is my Apocalyptic Quatrain Manifesto that has a very Nostradmian ring to it.
Several of you that have read it, have reported strange thoughts, lost sleep, crying
uncontrollably, depression, lack of feeling, missing time, sleep paralysis, phantom
limb ache and so on.
This book came out in a huge writing spurt and concluded when I became worried
that it was beginning to have too dark an edge and too many modern and future
references. No one wants to push prophecy ... well, almost no one.
A short collection at 56 pages, but so far my favorite of the bunch as it reads quick, is
tightly woven and guaranteed to send the majority of you reeling and keep you
troubled.
Electronic Butterflies -- 2002 Poetry Compilation
A collection of my early poetry that contains a few pieces written in my teens. The
bulk of these pieces are from 1994-2002 and has thankfully been pretty well
received.
Observations of a Dead Man -- 2004-2006 Poetry Compilation
The largest collection of work thus far and also the most varied. A few formatting
concerns are present, but clean and well presented through out.
A few pieces from this have been published elsewhere and through a few Internet
Poetry Cafe's.
