      <image:title>Work - Colony 43 Zulu</image:title>
      <image:caption>A futuristic science fiction novel about a police detective who is sent undercover to solve murders on a planetary penal colony. Colony 43 Zulu is a planet on the far reaches from earth where convicted murders are sentenced to remain for the rest of their natural lives. The last conviction census had shown that over 2,000,000 convicted murderers are incarcerated there. There are over eight hundred police officers who are assigned on a two year tour of voluntary duty to govern the daily goings on of the colony. 43 Zulu is a unique colony. It is a self-sustaining planet with an atmosphere that is compatible to earth. All convicts have had their identity removed and are gender altered to female. They are altered to look the same. The commissioner of earth’s law enforcement division has been advised that twenty officers and 47 inmates have been murdered within a six month time frame. Detective First Grade Pete Kennedy has been called in to investigate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - Silent is the Night, Holy is My Life.  Joseph's Story.</image:title>
      <image:caption>God sent him into the world so as to learn and see through the eyes of a child. What does a child expect? What will a child do to survive? Jesus had to learn about the kingdom of man. Man knew nothing of the kingdom of God. Is this what Jesus tried to share with mankind? Joseph was in the middle of morals and customs of the human world. Then he found himself in the world of God and his Angels. I imagine Joseph as a laid back kind of guy who was trying to make it a world that at times seemed utterly mad. He accepted his task from Gabriel and did what he had been instructed to do. Keep the Son of God safe as the earthly father. What a job he had!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - The Magic Camel</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have been telling this story for years and decided to put it in writing to share with all the children of the world. My heart, my choice, my love. This story has a Middle Eastern background. This is where I created and shared this story with many Iraqi children. It was so wonderful to see their little eyes light up as the princess and Rebekah conquered the hatred of the kingdom. This story explains diversity. I have always used it as a tool to explain how wrong it is to hate people because of the color of their skin, their religion, or who they are. Being mean to another because they are hungry or hurt. I made it a point to always tell children that bullying was so wrong and that there is no reason for it other than cruelty. The evil prince of this story represents those responsible for spreading hate and discontent throughout the world. With the help of an evil genie he feels that he is entitled to have the kingdom for his own to rule. Why does an entitled individual believe they are better than another when in fact they never are; they are just used to having everything given to them. Is it wrong to help another person who is injured, hungry? Many questions can be asked that will help a child in this already confusing world. The only way to help children understand is to teach them now! Don’t let them learn from others who are contaminated by narrow minded thinking or the perpetuators of ugliness. This book is wonderful sit down and read time with children. Much love to everyone and I hope that you enjoy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Este libro es para niños de cinco años o más.Puse esta historia junto con un fondo medio-oriental. Es donde cree y compartí esta historia con mucho niños. El Islam también tiene ángeles y creo que con todo el odio que hay en este mundo, los niños no deben ser parte de él. Esta historia explica la diversidad. Siempre he utilizado esta historia para explicar lo equivocado que es odiar a le gente por su oración. Pueden hacerse preguntas a no largo de toda la historia acera de lo equivocado que es maltratar a otros por el color o la piel, incluso cuando sonde.¿Está bien ser malo con los demás porque están heridos o tiene hambre? Hay varios puntos donde los maestros o padres pueden detenerse y preguntar a los niños por que otros son tan malos sin razón. La única manera de romper un ciclo de odio es ensenar a los niños que está mal. No dejes que aprendan de otros que están llenos de odio. Esto continuara la fealdad. Mucho amor a todos con toda mi corazon</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - Cartaphilus Conspiracy Series</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is lots of room for debate throughout the world about a man named Cartaphilus. Many people of good reputation claim to have spoken to him and throughout history some have claimed to have personally known him. There is no mention of Cartaphilus in the Bible, so many of us would write off these tales as folklore. This is a fictional book about conspiracies to commit murder, nothing more. I have not written this book to offend religious sensibilities. This book is pure fiction and based on what if scenarios. There have been conspiracies since the beginning of recorded history. The conspiracy to kill Jesus Christ began when he interfered with the finances and politics of the Jewish Temple that was under the authority of the Sanhedrin. Was Jesus killed on the cross? What if he wasn’t? What would we do if we found out that he lived only to be killed somewhere else? I will take the actual history of time and twist all of this into a mystery.Each religion has its own version as to what happened in the first century during the Roman occupation of the Middle East. Please remain open-minded and let your imagination wander through time. Then ask yourself could it have happened that way? The timelines and historical events are close. However, what might Cartaphilus know that historians do not? Perhaps hidden truth about other’s misdeeds. We have trusted and placed faith in what was written well over two thousand years ago, should we trust that? Could Jesus have argued his case when standing before Pontius Pilate? I believe that he could have very easily, but instead chose what he felt was his destiny. Enjoy the adventure, Kathy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Welcome to the continuing story of The Cartaphilus Conspiracy, Journey into Madness, Book Two.I let my imagination travel through time to capture the mysticism of religion and conspiracies. All of this wrapped around the personalities of my fictional characters. The interpretations of Revelation are mine and mine alone, no one else. I am not trying to offend any one person’s religious sensibility.This book is a continuation from the first book, Cartaphilus Conspiracy, Journey into Sin. Although the dangers and adventures intensify, there are some reference back to Book One, a continuing story if you will. There are situations in Book Two that started in Book One. Come and join my characters as they deal with conspiracies, fallen angels, and the Revelation. Enjoy the adventure, much love, Kathy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - Cartaphilus Conspiracy Series</image:title>
      <image:caption>I present to you the third book of Cartaphilus Conspiracy, Beginning of Redemption, Book 3. Many of the situations in book 3 will refer back to books 1 and 2. Through heavens intervention everyone is brought for-ward to face evil of the past. George and Chris have no choice but to discuss conspiracies that occurred in the twentieth century. One of the saddest times in our world’s history was the twentieth century. George compares patriotism with political deviancy from what he knows had happened and why. George will talk about specific times of history that he was involved with. There are many conspiracies that have cost millions of people their lives. Book 3 will step over those boundaries to explain what Cartaphilus (George) knows. Veronica returns and is prepared to teach her son what has been given to her by the Heavens. She must teach her son (Israel) the true meanings of the Revelation. Is everyone ready to handle the atrocities of evil preparing to bring travesties against the human race because of their ignorance?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I present to you the final book of the Cartaphilus Conspiracies, Last Man Standing, Book 4. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The final chapter in this book had me crying for hours before I could finish it. I have spent an overwhelming amount of time in the creation of the characters as well as their personalities. I usually hate the fact that I have to tell everyone that my characters are not modeled after any one person that I know living or dead. All organizations and religious ideologies are purely fiction and have not been written to offend any one per-son’s religious sensibilities. If you feel that I am going to Hell, well then pray for me. I can assure you that I will not be foolish enough to go in a wooden rowboat. I am sure there will be opinions about Marilyn Monroe and President Kennedy. Once again, I reiterate the word fiction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - Sister of the Broken Vows</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Collegiate Abbey of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception is a college that prepares nuns to serve the world as they serve Christ with professional degrees in theology, teaching, psychology, and various professions in the medical field. The problem within this prestigious institution of education is that someone is murdering sisters attending the abbey. The investigation begins with many unanswered questions from previous investigations. The archdiocese has maintained silence to avoid publicity. Police Commissioner Phillip O’Hara has moved forward to conduct investigations per the request of the Vatican. The archdiocese has been directed by the Vatican to cooperate with law enforcement and not interfere. The chief of detectives has assigned Sergeant Detective Cynthia Daniels and her partner Sam McClendon to investigate. Trying to narrow down suspects responsible for the murders inside the abbey is challenging to Detective Daniels and her partner. The Vatican has sent a psycho-logical profiler, Father Michael O’Herlihy, to help solve this mystery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - Sister of the Broken Vows</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello everyone. This is the second book of the Sister of the Broken Vows, subtitled: Sisters of the Heart. I will continue to write this series of mysterious investigations as Cynthia and Carmella investigate crimes against the physical and spiritual world under the jurisdiction of the Vatican’s Special Investigations Unit with Father Mike. It has been over a year since the murders were solved at the Collegiate Abbey of the Immaculate Conception. Now someone has started to shadow Detective Cynthia Daniels. Is it another assassin sent for revenge? Since the death of the assassin who was sent to seek revenge for cartel family members murdered by nuns, Cynthia, Carmella, and Father O’Herlihy have not only destroyed the opportunity for that revenge serving justice for those murdered, but have also dismantled a drug smuggling scheme into the United States. The adventures of the Vatican’s Special Investigation Unit led by Cardinal Michael O’Herlihy (AKA Father Mike) will continue until my imagination runs out of ideas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work - When Angels Touched Me</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have titled this book, When Angels Touched Me. This book is a combination of six books of my poetry, prose, and short stories combined into one. I want those who enjoy my writing to have them. I believe that too many books were produced and that became too expensive. Writing from so many different perspectives has taught me that this world has a lot more to offer than just one person’s point of view. I invite you to come with me on the many journeys that have been written from the stories of others who shared their life and dreams with me. Please read about love, veterans, PTSD, and the humorous side of life.</image:caption>
