The great Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna wrote his celebrated poem Letter to a Friend as a gift of advice to a South Indian king, and it has since become a monument in the Indian shastra tradition. Despite its short length (only 123 verses), it covers the entire Mahayana path, combining a practical approach to daily conduct with a theoretical exposition of the different stages leading to enlightenment. It has thus been an ideal source for many of Tibet’s greatest scholars seeking a scriptural authority to enhance their own descriptions of the Buddhist path.

I was supposed to have it all: followers, fame, and a perfect marriage.

The last person I expected to run into is Grayson Hill.

It's not the getting there that counts, it's the journey. Join our hero on his often gruesome journey to "the City". The horrors of evil forces try to lead him off the path as others join him on his quest. What or who awaits him? What is this force that compels him to make the trip, with all the dangers that try to ensnare him in their grasping claws and tantalising delights? The settlement of Oasis and the master Gregory wait for him to find his way to them so they can ensnare and enslave him. Somewhere ahead is the City. Will Ruth be waiting for him?

With the trappers and voyageurs ascending the Missouri River, and the unlikely heroes of this tale were three great friends, Mike Fink, Will Carpenter, and Frank Talbeau.

This collection pays tribute in story and verse to our four-footed canine friends - those doggone dogs.

The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who, in three distinct and significant life events, feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself, rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been—a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman. A resurrected woman!
