Possum Fool Stories
This is a delightful collection of quirky, humorous, and poignant short stories by one of my favorite authors, Fred A. Wilcox. I highly recommend it! (I also have edited Wilcox's nonfiction, which is equally compelling.)
Fred A. Wilcox demonstrates his versatility with this rich portrait of a community on the west coast of Ireland in process of fighting one of the most rich and powerful corporations on Earth: Shell Oil. Shell was determined to install an offshore gas facility off the coast of Mayo and promised riches to all in the region.
Shamrocks and Oil Slicks
But fishermen, farmers, teachers, and townspeople learned what's really in store. Motivated by love for their environment, their community, and their country, they fought one of the planet’s most powerful destroyers to a standstill.
Florida Lost and Found: Nature in the Changing Landscape
Author/photographer Fran Palmeri's gift is bringing to life some of the hidden gems in a landscape that has been so overdeveloped as to be barely visible. But she finds the tiny precious wildflowers and
scrub dwellers that cling to the scraps of remaining natural lands and makes us fall in love with them, and with what's left of the original "sunshine state."
Nexus
Philosopher, playwright, and metaphysics explorer Jeff Dunne takes us on an adventure in this science fiction/fantasy novel, introducing the principle of syntropy and its importance of finding balance on the personal, societal, and global levels. Jeff’s driving passion is "to help transform
our world such that materialism gives way to the recognition of the crucial role that consciousness plays in the formation of reality."
