Merry Christmas and Free Books

Book Cover for Moments Before Big Bang Click on cover for more information.

Some 2,000 years ago, our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ told us to perform miracles and to give them away freely as he had done. I realized several weeks ago that all of my books on spirituality, miracles and religion have been miracles in themselves. They had been inspired by the Holy Spirit, without which many of those projects would have stalled long before completion. My limited human mind would not have known the direction to take. So, all of my books in the category of Spirituality and Religion have been made entirely free as eBooks, and at-cost for both paperback and hardcover versions.

So, with regard to these books, it’s Christmas every day!

There are a few exceptions to this which are beyond my control. For example, Amazon has 99¢ as their lowest price. They may go lower, but only upon request from the customer. All other retail outlets, to my knowledge, allow them to be free—Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords and over a dozen other outlets. Also, setting the lowest possible price for international distribution of print versions can mean a bit of profit for domestic sales, but I hope no one will complain for this “glitch” in the system.

As a writer, how am I to make a living? Social security is definitely not enough, even living overseas. Currently, I make a modest living by ghostwriting for my clients. My services are currently available from a couple of online platforms. To learn more, check out my ghostwriting services. I have written over 120 books and still going strong. Not only do I love to be of service, but each project gives me an opportunity to learn more about the world in which we live.

I also have non-spiritual books—science, history, self-help, myth & legend, fiction and more. My latest two non-fiction works each took several months to complete.

Book Cover for Terraforming Mars Click on cover for more information.

Terraforming Mars: Remaking the Red Planet, Ready for Life has been a labor of love with interest and research starting in the early 1970s with one of the first Mars missions. The book includes almost everything you need to know about remaking the planet to full terraforming—meaning a shirt-sleeve environment. This includes,

This includes a discussion of a breakthrough discovery that the surface temperature of a planet with a thick atmosphere relies not on absorption and emission spectra (greenhouse effect), but from the gravity-biased thermal capacity of the atmosphere, itself. Adding just the right amount of gas will help to bring the temperature into the life-friendly range.Hydrosphere—Adding just the right amount of water for sizeable oceans. This not only helps to stabilize the temperature swings from day to night, but also from season to season. And there is a sweet spot on ocean coverage which prevents runaway freezing.Biosphere—Adding life to the new, blue Mars.Politisphere—Ensuring that humanity’s second home does not become a tyrannical hellhole.

Terraforming Mars also includes, in the Appendix, the full-color, Blue Mars Atlas.

Book Cover for Warmongers and Peacemakers Click on cover for more information.

Warmongers and Peacemakers: A Brief but Critical Look at the U.S. Presidency from George Washington to Joe Biden, is a book borne out of a single question. While running for the presidency in 2024, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. claimed that Democrats had always been the party of peace, and Republicans had always been the party of war. But how true is this? The answer may shock you.

The book takes a rigorous approach to quantify the administrations of each president with regard to wars started or ended. It ranks each president and provides additional clues to whether the president was a warmonger or a man of peace.

And this work destroys some cherished beliefs about some of our childhood favorites. Facts matter, and history books have lied! Or they have merely left out unpleasant details. Researching the background for this book was a real eye-opener for this writer.
