The events in Ravalli County are a microcosm of the Americas's response
to the COVID-19 Pandemic as individuals and institutions try to navigate
uncertain and conflicting data — anxiety, news, politics, trust, mistrust, health,
and livelihood drove America to implement one of the worst public health responses in the world. Ravalli County, Montana is the right place. A place that voted 67% for Trump, not 90% — there are liberals. The location for the Yellowstone TV Series and an NIAID lab that includes a BSL-4 lab. Researchers from the lab participated in the public dialog.
Events in Ravalli County drive the narrative non-fiction story — official comments to the local health board, including the author's, released interviews, and events on the streets of Ravalli County are placed in the context of America's research and public health decisions made in the face of uncertainty, science, politics, and propaganda. It is the only COVID-19 book that tells "both sides of the story." It is the only book that compares America's response with the best reactions from other countries to make data-driven recommendations. It is one of the few books that shows how public health drove politics and politics drove public health.
~~~ Rooted thoroughly in the scientific literature, it is made accessible to the lay reader ~~~

Monograph
If an economy is a group of people providing goods and services, why do we tax real work more than we tax the "fake economy" — speculation?
Speculation does not provide any useful goods or services; it simply creates wealth for some while eroding the productivity of our economy. There is nothing wrong with someone knowing the rules and speculating, it should be taxed at least as much as real work.
Here is a plan to improve the real productivity of the American worker by reducing taxes on work and paying for it with taxes on speculation.

Creative Nonfiction • Feline POV First Person • Middle Grade to Adult • 10,000 words
A cat's story from a cat's point of view.
Can a cat love? My answer is yes, but cat's are very particular and subtle with their affections. Their wildness has never left them. Miss Kitty was called Socks by everyone else except the translator. Like most cats, she had her favorite. But when the soft furry purry Miss Kitty walks through the door to outside, she's is a hunter. The palpable excitement of the hunt courses through her body. She is so good at it we put bells on her collar to keep her from killing birds. This is her life story, a story of hunting, being uprooted to travel across country, settling in a new home, and facing cancer on her own terms.

This is where I put what I learned being a community grassroots activist in Western Montana in a book. It is based on may experiences and classes I have given on occasion. It includes case studies from real campaigns, many local, a couple having national impact on issues such as the forests and wildlands, the response to domestic and child abuse, community based mental health crisis intervention. biosafety, highways, and subdivisions.
