Non-Fiction

My short stories are mostly alt-future sci-fi. I like to take a current technology or trend and project it into the future. The future is not alway bright, but it can be humorous as you will find in my book Dystopias (Almost) Everywhere. Here is a same [or two] which have not yet been published. Let's hope I'm wrong about some of these future scenarios!
My hobby is researching North American’s long history before Columbus. To that end, my nonfiction book is a work in progress tentatively titled The North American Civilizations Way Before Columbus. Yes, that needs to be refined in order to be less of a mouthful. Anyway, believe it or not, North American around 2000 – 1000 BC could have been considered a colony of the Phoenicians. They had a whole industry going in North America which supported several cities. Then in the early centuries of the present era - - up to about 1000 AD, North America was a melting pot. People from Europe, North Africa, Central America and even Japan brought their civilizations to North American shores. They shared a religious concept. This is not speculative. They left monuments which were not recognized as the remnants of an ancient civilization until the late 1800s. One can touch, walk around and climb what’s left of their civilizations. Of course the Vikings had settlements along the East coast of North America as did the Chinese during the Ming Empire. These last two were merely colonies compared to the civilizations before them.

The manuscript is partially complete, so stay tuned! Hopefully it will be out with a more manageable title in late 2023 or 2024.
In the meantime, here's a short article about Newport Tower, a recent pre-Columbus structure. It's a mystery as to who built the Tower but cases have been made for several early visitors to North America. All are open to debate. You can pick your own history!
