Varieties of employment, along with my other life experiences, have given me an interesting and exciting existence. My experiences have been educational, some frightening, some life threatening, some humorous, some heartbreaking, but all played a part in preparing me for the writing of Ramblings of an Alaskan Bush Poet. I’m hopeful my backstories will put the reader in somewhat the same mind set, or emotion, I was experiencing at the time. When readers discuss my work I hope to be viewed as a common man who tells his stories through rhyme and, at the same time, someone who paints a vivid picture of what my limericks convey.”

How is love, death, grief, and joy not real life? So much can happen in just a short time. Four years, the amount of time in high school on average.

Four seconds, the time it takes to say “I do” on your wedding day. It does not take much to change a life forever. Real Life tells the story of a little over four months in the lives of two high school students. Four months was all it took to rearrange their lives for forever.

“Anchorage, Alaska”: Publication Consultants, 3/1/15. First Edition. Perfect Bound. Like New/Like New. “The story of Reggie The Rocket closely tracks the history of the 1960s British Blue Streak rocket program. The author Douglas Anderson worked on the assembly and testing of the Rolls-Royce RZ2 engines powering the Blue Streak and was present in Woomera, Australia, for the launch of F3. Based on that experience, Douglas has assigned a personality to the rockets and has thus woven a whimsical element into an otherwise historical account of the Blue Streak Program. Reggie The Rocket is F3, the third in line to be launched, and Douglas was there to cheer him on. It is a sad reality that most heavy-lift booster rockets have been launched only to return to earth as scrap metal or to have disappeared into the ocean depths. Only now, fifty years after Blue Streak, are serious attempts being made to return booster rockets safely back to the launch pad under their own power so they can be reused. The… Read More

Like New/Like New. “Regular Army Corporal is a story of an American family and of a childhood and adolescence in the troubled and now forgotten eras of the Great Depression and World War II, and of a young man’s struggle for maturity and fulfillment in his relationship with Jesus Christ in the midst of war. In it the author addresses troublesome issues of morality, sexuality, ethics, alcoholism, and military discipline and leadership that are every bit as urgent and compelling today as in the wars of the past century and throughout our history. It is also a tribute to the Magnificent Generation, our “mighty men of valor,” who evolved as professional soldiers in the dark days of World War II and went on to lead our young soldiers in the decades of war and international tension that followed.

Allen’s journal, you will learn of the generosity of Alaskan Natives. Lt. Allen’s party would not have survived without adapting to the customs of the Alaskans and following their trails. They also would have starved without the food from the Alaskan people. This was the longest exploration of unknown land at this time in the world. Many quests had tried to go inland, but had not returned. This was mainly due to their ill treatment of the Natives. Lt. Allen traveled in a small party and welcomed the help of the Alaskans. He writes here in his journal from a traveler’s perspective, not from the traditional military aspect. They traveled through the heart of this great land called Alyeska. The three great rivers they traveled had been explored very little by miners or trappers. This was a land largely unexplored by white people, but where Natives had… Read More

Like New/Like New. “The Rise and Fall of the Fifteenth Caliphate is as much about the involvement of American forces in regime change as it is about the Islamic State terrorists, because the two are so intertwined. This is historical fiction that has several prologues to highlight the CIA and US military covert wars in the Banana Republics, Afghanistan, Syria, Viet Nam, and Iraq and spans the period between 1903 to the present. The narrative-in-chief concerns the ongoing wars which give a fictional look into the Rise and Fall of the Islamic State--the grandiosely named Caliphate which mainstream Muslims and even most jihadist organizations insists is neither Islamic nor a state. It is about good but flawed people in a fight against colossal evil, and flawed people in a fight against Americans perceived as Crusaders. It is a no holds barred, no quarter asked and none given struggle that--at its core--is… Read More
