A BIT ABOUT ME

My Story

Five years ago I decided to be a writer. My engineering work already had me trained in research. My goal is to bring well researched, exciting narratives to readers of non-fiction. 

While I was paid a lot of money to get very large development programs on track, I also taught people about the I Ching. As I was working on spiritual growth, I was writing about the intense violence of Pearl Harbor because my mother was there. From these extremes came the two books below.

But, I am always an activist, seeking to change things for the good on the ground. So, at this point in my life, my passion is writing and activism.

PUBLISHED 

A meticulously researched narrative in everyday language show how to use the I Ching and get the most out of The Book of Changes no matter what your viewpoint. Shows how divination with the I Ching is merely an extension of your everyday experience, allowing you to tap deeper into your subconscious to bring forth what it already knows using the I Ching. Answers the questions, What is Yin-Yang and the Dao? How did Confucius get his words in the I Ching?

Practical narratives, illustrations, mixed with Poetic Prose and surprisingly beautiful prose from Ancient China get your heart as well as your mind engaged with The Book of Changes. Key phrases explained, showing what it meant and what it means.
