TRIFOLD MIRROR is a collection of personal, insightful poems that reflect
on the intentionality and individuality of the author’s relationship with
God. The poems apply biblical principles, which help demystify the
complexities of Christian doctrines and empower readers to study the Word of
God for themselves.
This contemporary collection is inspired by the Holy Spirit and addresses
different life stages (as seen in the “hood” section – which
features dark pages in the book). Each poem has its own personality,
emotion, teaching, and Bible verse to reinforce the poem.

Boonetown is a small southern town with more limousines than taxis, more
buggies than bicycles and more church signs than street signs. You’ll meet
the ladies who lunch and the men who drink morning coffee; the museum
curator who keeps the dinosaur egg in the bank vault and the woman who runs
the local tv station out of her garage. Through each story, you’ll get to
know the author, too, as he takes us on this journey through his
hometown.

Introduction
I like observing people. I just find people interesting, especially people who take a few detours
along the way. I watch…and wonder.
Once, while I was out eating brunch, I saw a man riding his unicycle down the street, while carrying a bicycle on his shoulder. I wondered.
I wondered too, at my podiatrist’s office, if the seventy-five-year-old woman sitting next to me wore her Britney Spears t-shirt and carried her Britney Spears handbag everywhere, or just when she went to the doctor? Nothing wrong with that, I just wanted to understand her thought process.
And I used to wonder why I kept a file of random stuff: articles, and ads, and photos, and notes… things I found interesting. But now I know: to use to tell these stories.
These stories are about a place I call Boonetown and some of the folks who live there. They are stories about people who have made me smile, shaped me, and intrigued me. This is the way I remember the people and events, although some might remember them differently. But you don’t have to be from Boonetown to recognize the people in these pages.
Because, as it turns out, The Boonetown Chronicles isn’t just about me and my hometown, it’s about everyone’s. So here goes.
I hope you enjoy your stay.

In a galaxy far from Earth, the advanced civilization of Merk extends a
rare invitation to join their peaceful galactic continuum to worlds
demonstrating true maturity. With Earth on the brink of a monumental
transformation, all eyes are on presidential candidate Andy Brock, whose
visionary policies promise unity and progress.
Earth has already made significant strides: the Koreas have united, NATO
has dissolved following Russia’s peaceful democratization, and the world
stands on the cusp of unprecedented harmony. Yet, China remains a looming
threat, with ambitions to seize Taiwan and a war with the U.S. on the
horizon.
Amidst this turmoil, Rein, the leader of the Merkian delegation studying
Earth, must decide if humanity is ready to join the Merk galactic community.
However, her complicated feelings for Andy could either symbolize a
potential new era of interstellar cooperation with Earth, or bring the whole
mission to a grinding halt.
Through political trials, assassination attempts, and opposition from
traditionalists, the path is fraught with challenges. Will the impending
conflict with China derail Earth’s chance at interstellar peace? Can
Andy Brock ascend to the presidency and implement his transformative vision
for a brighter future?
