Dead Men Do Roll Dice is the 1912 saga of millions of dollars in embezzled Alaskan gold that are being stockpiled to open a bank in Canada. The only clues are a sourdough who has been tortured, killed, and dismembered; a dewdrop of incredibly refined gold; and 18 paper balls the size of buckshot.

At the center of the drama is United States Marshal Gordon Whitford.

History is the most boring subject in school. Don’t believe me? Ask any student. Or listen to the lead story in Newsweek’s combined issue of March 28 & April 4, 2011: “How to Get Smart Again.” If we as teachers want to make history a quality subject we have to make it relevant and interesting. That’s why I wrote The Murder of History: Why Students Hate History and What to Do About It.

This is the right audiobook at the right time in American history. It is a novel in the form of a collection of present day, interwoven, short stories of a nuts-and-bolts drama that is being played out everywhere in America: a powerful, rich, conservative Republican state senator wants to replace a low-income, ethnic neighborhood with a public building which he intends to name after himself.

On July 19, 2010, Newsweek’s lead article was “Creativity in America”. The primary message in the article was that the single greatest shortcoming in American business and education was creative thinking. The article said it could not be taught. I disagree with that. Creative thinking can be taught, and this audiobook proves it.

Students hate history. That’s because 95 percent of high school and college history students don’t know what they are supposed to be learning. History is not an academic subject; it’s a tool for life. If history teachers knew what they were doing, they’d be teaching their students to “think like a pirate". Which is exactly what this book does.

What's it like to work as a legislative aide? What do you need to survive? If you don't know, you should be listening to this book.

On July 19, 2010, Newsweek’s lead article was “Creativity in America.” The primary message in the article was that the single greatest shortcoming in American business and education was a dearth of creative thinking. The article also said it could not be taught. I differ with that assessment. My book, Eating a Bear with Its Own Teeth, proves you can teach people to be creative thinkers.

In a decade, half of all Americans will be working in jobs that do not exist now. How do you figure out what they are going to need before they need it?

It started with a murder. And an odd one. The victim was killed with a shotgun on a steamship, and his body was dumped overboard. In a cork life vest. With a note in code to the United States Marshal in Juneau. It’s 1910, and Alaska’s wealth is threatened when President Taft takes back all coal lands. Without coal, there will be no gold mining. Steve Levi has mixed fact with fiction for a wild ride in the North with anarchists, socialists, coal, gold, murder, and the opportunity for United States Marshal Gordon Whitford to turn the tables on a cabal of East Coast coal barons.

A combat manual for getting elected to local public office - on a shoestring budget.

In real life, no one tells you what is happening. You pick “the truth” up by combining tidbits of information, gossip, newspaper fillers, rumor, confidential memos, telephone messages, fake news and maybe-fake-news-but-who-knows. A Hat Rack in a Snake Farm is written as a collection of the above which, together, reveal the story. This is an on-the-ground look at what happens when there are millions of public dollars "for the taking" and the corporate hyenas gather.

This audiobook discusses how Alaskans view tourists and also offers a tourist's history of the state. The author Levi specializes in history and creative thinking. His historical specialty is the Alaska Gold rush.

Why would someone kill a miner, freeze his body solid on a glacier, and then drop it alongside the Juneau wharf, the one place where United States Marshal Gordon Whitford would be sure to find it? Does it have anything to do with the 250 pounds of gold that have just been extracted from the Alaska Gastineau Mine? And how were both the frozen body and the gold able to disappear off a steamship that made no stops between Juneau and Seattle?

Four decades ago, when I started my own small business, I looked for a book that would explain all the nuts and bolts of day-to-day survival as a small business. There wasn’t one. And there still isn’t one. So, I wrote one.
