Ghosts Through The Mist
Fate is cruel to those without a voice. I was born Solveig, but my family called me Dark Raven because I was different and they considered me cursed, treating me as a servant. When the new Jarl found out they’d kept raiding spoils, he banished them from our settlement. They had planned on sneaking off in the spring, but everything changed and Jarl Calder brought me into his house. I gave him my heart and thought he returned my feelings, but he had other ideas. Again I found I was a servant and Calder was to marry a Jarl’s daughter to unite the two powerful families. Galdi, another servant, said his new bride would make my life torture and I would have to find a way to leave. The opportunity came when the Jarl was negotiating with the Picts for new lands. Galdi said the king would like me because I was dark and different and she suggested he give me as the extra piece of silver to sweeten the deal. And so I was to sail off, my heart broken, to a new land with people I knew nothing of. But fate can turn the sea into a road and once you take a step, you won’t know where it ends unless you keep going.
Fate On The Tide
The story continues, two winters having passed at the Pict settlement. Raven is haunted by dreams she fears are warning her of what is to come. Fate hasn’t finished with her yet and Raven’s life begins to unravel, exposing secrets and lies of those she loves the most. When Raven begins to live her own life and be her own person, fate leads her down a path she’d never have imagined. $3.99 on Kindle.

USS Liberty Survivors: Betrayed by Their Own Country is a gripping non-fiction account that delves into the tragic attack on the USS Liberty during the Six-Day War on June 8, 1967. This book chronicles the harrowing experiences of the ship’s survivors, the controversial geopolitical motivations behind the assault, and the decades-long fight for justice and recognition.
The USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship stationed in international waters near the Sinai Peninsula, was suddenly and brutally attacked by Israeli forces. Despite its clear markings and neutral position, the ship endured an onslaught of bombs, torpedoes, and machine-gun fire, resulting in the loss of 34 crew members and injuries to 171 others. Survivors of the attack recount the chaos, bravery, and determination that kept the ship afloat against all odds.
Equally compelling is the aftermath of the attack. Survivors reveal a shocking betrayal: a U.S. government cover-up prioritizing diplomatic relations with Israel over the lives of American sailors. The book explores President Lyndon B. Johnson’s calculated decisions, the silencing of survivors, and the systematic suppression of information, leaving the crew feeling abandoned by their own country.
Through interviews, declassified documents, and expert analysis, the book uncovers the political and strategic factors driving the attack and its cover-up. It contextualizes the incident within the Cold War era, the Six-Day War, and the evolving U.S.-Israel alliance, offering readers a deep understanding of the broader implications of this tragedy.
A testament to resilience and the pursuit of truth, USS Liberty Survivors: Betrayed by Their Own Country celebrates the courage of the men who survived the attack and their unwavering determination to honor their fallen shipmates.

Life with schizophrenia is hard enough without others looking at you like you are crazy. Just because they know that everyone isn’t plotting to kill you doesn’t mean to say it’s any less real for you.
You are constantly walking through a world where reality is far from what it seems—but to you, this is reality and nobody gets it.
Schizophrenia is often associated with the word delusional, but isn’t that just as bad as labeling someone crazy? For any atypical person, the things we believe may not be possible, but for us, they are as real as the words you are reading right now.
And this is exhausting, draining, and even terrifying. According to the University of Oxford, we are at greater risk of committing violent crimes, not because we want to, but because we genuinely fear for our lives.
Having all of this on our shoulders with few people to genuinely understand what we physically and mentally go through daily is lonely.
There is no doubt that science, therapies, and medication may be a significant part of your experience with schizophrenia, however, the light can also come from a different source—one where faith and spirituality guide you on a path to a greater life, constantly accompanied by the warmth of God.
You have suffered alone for long enough. It’s time to step away from the freaking out and into a blessed world. But you are going to need guidance from someone who has walked in your shoes. Free on Kindle.
