Read an Excerpt of Spero
"Spero is an imaginative fantasy that subtly instructs, entertains, and intellectually provokes the reader. It is fascinating reading. I'm definitely hooked on this series." Jean Heimann at Catholic Fire.
"...intelligent as well as inspiring..." Terry Barga at whattodoabout.com.
The first book in the Birth Pangs series, Fidelis, is Latin for faithfulness. The second book,
Spero, is Latin for hope.
Spero is an exploration, in fiction, of what hope is and why we need it. It is an exploration of what things are good to put our hope in and what things aren't. In the America of the future portrayed in the Birth Pangs series, all of the things that people have traditionally put their hope in have been brought low. There are no government agencies, no schools, and not even churches. In the face of daily perils, people have to figure out how where they are going to place their hope in dealing with them.
In the end, there is one daily peril that surpasses them all: death.
Spero is about people- even good people- putting their hope in lesser means to tackle lesser problems and being confronted with the consequences.
Spero is a 'discussion' about our chief problems and what solutions, if any, are available to resolve them.

(A donation of $10.00 is approximately two books to a soldier. )
I have some relatives in the military who have read my book and enjoyed it and I believe that most American soldiers would as well. I got to thinking about it and wondering about how I can get copies of my book in the hands of soldiers. I contacted www.soldiersangels.com and they have replied agreeing to facilitate getting my book in the hands of our soldiers and veterans, including wounded soldiers in the Veteran’s hospitals, etc.
Your donation will help me make bulk purchases of my book so that I can distribute more than I would if I bought them in smaller quantities.
For tax purposes you should consider your donation a purchase as I am not equipped as a tax exempt organization. Also, if you would like to purchase your own, personal copy, please purchase it separately so that I can keep the monies distinct. However, if you donate and then purchase the book, I will in turn donate part of the proceeds to buying more books to give to our troops. That is for donors only!
