Hey everyone,
I’m really excited to announce that my 4th book in the Activist Poet series, “The Activist Poet – Volume IV” was released on Amazon today (May 25th, 2025). The book contains 50 poems and essays that cover a wide range of topics, and is more than a book of poetry; it is a deep philosophical and truthful look into the 21st century through the eyes of a poet, analyst, activist, and human being. The poems and essays within this book, piece together some of the major topics and conflicts of 2025; pointing out their root causes and possible solutions. The Activist Poet - Volume IV reaffirms poetry’s role as a transformative force, offering readers both a mirror to society and a map for change. This collection is essential reading for those who believe in the power of words to shape a more equitable and just world. You can pick up a copy of this eye-opening book at Amazon.

Hey everyone. I thought I’d share a little news with you. On May 19th, 2025, I received word by email that my book, “The Shard of Asclepius” won the International Impact Book Awards (IIBA) category for Mystery / Thriller. I was so shocked when I received the email that I wasn’t sure how to respond. The first words out of my mouth were, ‘Holy crap, is this real? Did I just actually win an award for my book?’ I then decided to check to see if the communication was real or not because, over the years, I’ve received so many spam and fishing emails that have told me I’ve won something, that I’ve become very skeptical of just about every email I receive. Especially today with the invasion of A.I. programs. I’m sure you’ve had similar experiences, right? That facial expression that comes with a sarcastic chuckle, ‘Ya right, I won something. Nice try.’ I then remembered that I entered a contest and went to the website…and there right in front of me, reality set in. I actually won an award! ‘Holy crap! It’s real!’ I then let out a big sigh of excited relief, realizing that my hard work has finally paid off. ‘I won an award!’ 😊 So, before I start bowing and thanking everybody I ‘ve ever known, for supporting or inspiring me, I want to thank IBBA for the amazing recognition they have given me with this award and for the huge confidence boost it has given me. A million thank you’s IIBA! Oh, and for those reading this little message, don’t worry, I won’t thank the entire planet like at those award shows…at least, not until they’ve read, “The Shard of Asclepius.” 😉 Who knows, maybe this award will finally bring attention to this great story. If not, I’ll be writing anyways because it’s what I love to do, but if it does… The second book is well underway which should be finalized and released early in 2026. Thanks for listening to my little victory news! |
