"I found this 'journey' easy to follow, easy to enter into with Tacu, easy to rejoice, hurt, and cry with him on his path to maturity. The illustrations were well-executed and added visual delight to this fine book. This book is nearly flawless and I found few areas, if any, that I could comment on in the area of improvements. It was very inspirational."

Two short fantasies - The first story, "One Starry Night's Dream" is a romance about a beautiful, carefree time in the distant, magic past - a long-ago land of playful passion, high spirits and adventure, much like Shakespeare would have told it ... or is it a modern story about a lonely comedian? The second story, "The Prisoner," is a Celtic fantasy about a king who lost a battle...and something else... "Afterword" by the author.
Today, aspiring athletes have to work harder and be more dedicated than athletes of previous generations, who did not have to contend with the message of popular culture that promotes winning at all costs and implicitly condones "shortcuts." Becoming a True Champion fills a critical need by speaking in a frank and direct voice directly to today's aspiring athletes about these crucial, controversial issues and the personal choices they face. At the same time the book presents them with the antidote to these negative influences - the fundamental values, attitudes and concepts, and practical actions that support and lead to lifelong athletic excellence. Through examples, inspiring stories, and a personal approach, the book shows athletes how to overcome the career-busting obstacles so common in today's sports culture.

Set in the world of a nearly extinct Native American tribe which prospered thousands of years before that area became the City of Los Angeles, this is the story of a young Tongva brave, Tacu, who struggles to understand and survive the baffling and often danger-ous lessons of Takoda, his mysterious mentor from the North. Unless he succeeds, he won’t be allowed to travel to the Place of the Stones for his vision quest and initiation into manhood. Yet only by doing so can he earn back the respect of his peers and court the maiden he loves - for he is now shunned by the village as a low coward. But Takoda holds Tacu to a different path to prepare him to face his future courageously and recognize his own true nature. Quality paperback & Kindle.
"The spiritual tale of a young Native American from the days before the Spanish arrived in California.... There is hardly a word out of place ... what is most commendable is the precision and unpretentiousness of the prose while still managing to invoke the intense quality of Tacu's visionary quest and moving nature of his movement."
