Daughter of the Gods: A Novel of the Picts
– Learn MoreSummer, 367 A.D. In a land of mystery and enchantment, in an age of Celtic gods, Highland warlords, Roman legions, and powerful druids, a young Pictish healer finds herself embroiled in an epic struggle between gods and men.
The Celtic tribes of the lands we now know as Scotland and Ireland conspire to assault Hadrian’s Wall and drive the Romans out of Britain forever. But in order for the warriors to achieve victory in the military campaign, the druids must first gain ascendancy over the new Roman god.
Amid clandestine preparations for war, Flora is yanked out of her peaceful, ordinary world and thrust into a spiritual battle of mythic proportions. In order to save her family, her clan, and her people, she is called upon to sacrifice not only her life, but her very identity. Feeling trapped in a web of manipulation and deceit, she struggles to discover the true reality of who she is and who she will become.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, this story brings to life an age and a people that have remained veiled in the mists of time. Based on extensive research into the archaeology, culture, and geography of fourth-century Scotland, Daughter of the Gods explores the mysterious people knowns as the Picts—a collection of tribes so determined to retain their freedom that they dared to defy the mightiest army the ancient world had ever known.
This is not, however, primarily an action adventure tale, but a profoundly provocative saga for readers who like to think deeply about their own individual role within the interpersonal, cultural, and spiritual realities of our world.

Bully Shack: A Compelling Story About Fighting
– Learn MoreThe Kid learned the hard way that you can try to be a pacifist in a world full of clenched fists, stiff upper lips and mean looks, but it won’t get you far—and it might get you killed.
Olebark—The Kid—grew up in a community infested by fighting, bullying, organized fight clubs, gambling, and hoodlums. A world of few laws and fewer smiles and the backdrop to the incident that changed him forever. Traumatized and beaten at the age of six, The Kid decides to take things into his own hands—in fact, his own fists.
A fictionalized account of a true event, Bully Shack takes you on the intrepid journey of a boy that was initiated into his childhood through a brutal beating at the age of six. Traumatized and terrified, he vowed to fight his way out of his rotten world.
While The Kid fights his own battles, the institutionalized bullying and unwilling-sex-in-return-for-protection go on around him, ensnaring almost everyone he knows in its horrid web. Girls “put out” so that they are exempt from being mistreated, beaten and raped. Other boys are dragooned into a nightmarish Fight Club world—where nobody talks about it because they are too intimidated to do so.
To tell is to risk all.
In this true tale, one boy’s courageous battle against intimidation and emotional, spiritual and physical torture inspires those around him to rise up and fight—to fight for their lives.
