Readers and followers of this site as well as the Omega Books blog have been a blessing to me and my ‘mission’ to tell the world about the benefits and blessings of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior using the story of a fictitious rock and roll band modelled after Luke 15’s The Parable of the Prodigal Son as inspiration. There are now over 100 followers and likely close to 1,000 downloads of my FREE PDF novel The Prodigal Band. While I do not have a lot of book sales, I am doing fine financially and in these days of Covid hysteria promoted by the mainstream and alternative media click-bait artists as well as various government bodies, the Lord has blessed me with several visits from loved ones over the past two years…no lockdowns for us! When we went to El Paso to shop the past couple of days we didn’t even have to wear a mask, and no one bullied us over it either. (Folks, there are advantages with living in rural remote far west Texas).
The next post will be in early January, 2022, but not sure what the post will be, and it could be something completely different…I’m running out of snippet categories!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Blessings!

Born on Long Island, NY, in 1952, now live in the mountains of far west Texas. Began writing fiction stories at about 8 years old with pen and loose leaf paper, and created the characters in my Prodigal Band Trilogy as a teenager. From the 70s to the 90s I created the scenario which I believe was inspired. While bringing up and home schooling my two children I continued to work on the novels and published "Battle of the Band" in 1996 and "The Prophesied Band" in 1998. Took off the next several years to complete home schooling and also working as an office manager for the local POA. In 2016, I retired, then resumed The Prodigal Band, a FREE PDF book that tells the whole story to its glorious end. Hint: I'm a true believer in Christ and I'm on a mission from God, writing to future believers, not preaching to the choir. God gave me a talent and, like the band in my books, I am using that talent for His glory, not mine (and, like me, the band is on its own journey, only fictional.) I also wrote for my college newspaper and headed up production, was a columnist in a local newspaper in the early 2000s, and wrote for and edited "Log of the Trail," the news letter for the Texas Mountain Trail Writers, and wrote for and edited it's yearly catalog of writings, "Chaos West of the Pecos." OmegaBooks is my self-publishing sole proprietorship company founded in 1995. Other jobs included teaching secondary math, health aide, office worker, assembly line work, and free-lance writing and bookkeeping,much of it while home schooling.
