(there are no) Answers to the Mysteries
“While on an archeological expedition in Egypt, Dr. Salmon discovered the ancient tomb of King Itacher, the only King never preserved as a mummy but was instead ‘freeze-dried’. Instructions written on the side of the sarcophagus declared that with the addition of 5 gallons of water, King Itacher would come back to life.”
“(there are no) Answers to the Mysteries” explores a variety of phenomena – Ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, Life after Death, Reincarnation and Atlantis the Lost Continent. Are Aliens visiting us? Is Reincarnation real? Where is Atlantis today? Is Bigfoot alive and well?
The riveting narrative contains interviews with ghosts and scientists, farmers and college professors, people who have had contact with Bigfoot and the reincarnated. There is the story of a man who claims to be a descendent from Atlantis. Other excerpts include passages from the diary of a man who spent the night in a haunted house and another from the diary of a ghost trapped in a prison cell. Many strange stories are told but there are no clear answers.
The title of the book is “Answers to the Mysteries”, but please note the three words in parentheses “there are no”. The search for the answers continues amid the many interesting stories told. Who knows, maybe someday, someone will provide the answers that have eluded all of us.

Good Morning: Your Guide to Utter Nonsense
My new humor book is available for purchase from Amazon. If you don’t have a Kindle
just download the app for your Mac or Windows computer. Thanks!
In any language, “Good Morning” is a welcome greeting. A salutation between friends, colleagues, family and strangers followed with a smile, and sometimes, words of wisdom.
I have complied a set of observations, suggestions, and life stories – one for each day of the year – to inspire, energize and influence your daily life. I hope to provide answers to problems you encounter. I want to spark your creative spirit to fulfill your passions. I aim to incentivize your entrepreneurial spirit. I wish to improve your life.
“Good Morning” starts on January 1st with “Happy New Year”. For each subsequent day, I recommend reading the entry for only that day and not to jump ahead in the calendar. This gives time for quiet reflection. To discuss what is written with friends and family. I also suggest starting on the day you open the book for the first time. If it is April 14th or June 6th or October 7th, that’s where you should begin. Every entry is chosen for a particular day. Nothing is random. (And read February 29th only during a leap year.)
Now for the truth: Despite my lofty goals, I have failed. All entries make no sense, provide no real advice and are pretty much just gibberish. I sought meaningful expressions of hope and insight but ended with non-sequiturs and confusing conspiracies. To be honest, I don’t even know what I’m talking about now. I don’t think I ever did.
Jim, a photographer, and Elaine, a travel agent, were enjoying their time together in Dublin, Ireland when a flat Earth believer approached Jim changing the next week of his life—for the worst. He had become a pawn between factions of the flat Earth movement when he was handed a memory card. Thus, beginning a journey combining a mystery, suspense and thriller with light humor.
Rogue agents of the movement sought to destroy the card believing it had information damaging to their political goals. They chased, kidnapped, and threatened Jim to hand it over. He resisted, knowing he’d need the card as evidence against the pursuers. At the same time, he sought help from computer hackers to decipher an encrypted file on the memory card hoping it would explain everything.
What began as a romantic getaway escalated into an international incident.
