Print: $14.95 Days of Destruction is a journey through some of the modern horrors that assault our senses in the passionate search for better understanding of our tormented world. The poems explore volatile international issues, the outrages of social abuses and personal anguish, as part of the ongoing events that wear down our tolerance, compassion and will to resist injustice...
"I loved it. It was amazing writing. Very edgy and so powerful."
- Gloria Mindock, Cervena Barva Press
"Beck rails about social injustice, the inhumane, our forged inhumanity, class and other human bifurcations with power and a towering voice. In the first poem of the text, “Prisons”, the poet takes a powerful stand against the institutionalization of the marginalized, the children who do not have a “vote” or “machine fueling funds”, and thus no systemic “worth”."
- Constance Stadler, Muse Thing

Print: $14.95 Download: $5.00 This short story collection started in Black Mountain Whispers: A Tribute to Raymond Carver. Pam Rosenblatt of Ibbetson Street Press, Cambridge Massachusetts, says "Through economy of word, abstract thought, humor, and inarticulateness, Johnson has written a fine minimalistic lead short story, one that motivates the reader to continue onto the following short stories, many of which aren't as easy reads and contain threatening, violent, and scary situations which may cause the ordinary reader to put down the book and read the comic section of his Sunday newspaper. But, if you're the type of reader who enjoys surprises, twists and turns of fate, then you probably will like the rest of the short stories in [Frank's Diary]"

Download: $5.00 A new Ebook has been created to show the novice and more accomplished Photoshop user alike how to make kaleidoscope images and printable mandalas. Kaleidoscopes have fascinated people from the beginning of time. From the reflection of grains of sand and crystals in tubes through to the advances of computers, kaleidoscopes have always been truly beautiful and even puzzling. Mandalas, too, have long held the attention of the mystics and everyday person alike. The mandala, a picture reflected on itself and coloured in an unpredictable way, can be used as mere decoration or even as a focus for meditation. And combining the kaledisoscope and the mandala even magnifies the beauty of images for your enjoyment!

Print: $14.95 Download: $5.00 In darkness, the light of a candle is more than an aid to reading; it is a message of hope, a silent assurance that darkness does not rule our existence and there is more to brighten our being than a single source of light. However, when you light up two candles instead of one to help your eyes see better, you are creating greater assurance. Not only is there more light to illumine the place but the solitude of a solitary candle no more translates into your lonely being. The second candle signifies a second existence – whether a part of your inner self or some other special person in your life – whose presence makes your life more meaningful and more precious. Many of us are not conscious to the presence of this second candle until we light two candles instead of one. My ‘Two Candles’ are here.
