A definitive collection of 194 haiku that brings together a plethora of diverse natural, cultural, and geographical influences from Navarro's life as a wandering poet-philosopher and minister emphasizing a love of nature and mindfulness. Navarro draws on a lifetime of learning haiku (40 years), beginning at 19 years old when he discovered its origins in the heart of ancient Chinese poetry (Sensai and Hõ Un); through the quintessential influences of the four great Japanese hokku/haiku masters, Basho, Buson, Issa, and Shiki. Readers will find everything from traditional English language 5-7-5 haiku, to more modern renditions with fewer syllables, some gendai haiku, semantic disjunctions, and even some senryu. Navarro's haiku are thoroughly steeped in modern American nature, culture, geography, and tradition. He brings haiku to life in a way that is relatable and accessible to the modern reader while faithfully maintaining the sharp visual nature of the form.
An influential haiku book which has made an impact on the haiku community and among academic researchers.

Darksoul is not for the faint of heart. It's an action-packed, sultry Urban Fantasy that never lets up from start to finish. Filled with erotic situations, demons, merciless mercenaries, and super powered heroes and villains. There's nothing like it.
Stormrider, young woman Janissary, quests for justice and peace on her rebellion-torn world; and for the missing Amulet that must choose the leader of the worlds in concert. Isolated, dependent upon her own wits and skills to survive, Stormrider is cast adrift in a sea of intrigue, mysticism and magic. Alone until she’s bound with the wolves, annoyed by the Bounty Hunter and enthralled by the Ancient Ones. The Journey has just begun…
The hero of The Wizard's Sword, Mirrortac, is found guilty of sacrilege against the god of his ancestral cousins, the Roznogh, after he steals their most sacred object of power, the Werdstone, and kidnaps its keeper in a mission to liberate three planets from enslavement to this false god who relies on three mysterious stones in connection with the Werdstone to govern. Mirrortac loses face and his mind, leaving three of his children and an unlikely ally the only ones who can ensure the success of his ambitious quest.
Darksoul is an adult Urban Fantasy with an unlikely and highly unorthodoxed superhero. There's graphic violence, sexual situations, and strong language.
The protagonist is the uniquely named, Orion Stormgod, a club owner who is viciously ambushed with his partner. Only he survives by allowing an ancient entity to become a part of himself. Darksoul, the first soul to exist. Their connection grants Orion incredible power, which he uses to exact revenge on his attackers and partner's murderers.
The targets are a group of hired mercenaries led by the enigmatic Graveyard, working for an influential business tycoon/crime lord named Michael Tyranny.
Adding to the chaos is the awakening of a forgotten Pharoah so evil that his reign was removed from history. Soulchaser, a man capable of stealing your very soul...and he has his eyes set on Darksoul to claim as his own.
With his hands full Orion also has to find a way to keep in check the Earthly desires Darksoul continuously craves, refusing to be denied.
Is Orion up to the task? He better be. The game has begun, and everyone's playing for keeps.

Finally, the crew challenged to fight on everything abhorrent to humanity, sexism, racism, and extreme religion, under the control of dark, malevolent spiritual beings called the Nomed.
Will Jim and crew ever escape from this fiendish driven environment? With his usual drollness, wit and fortitude, the Nomed use Jim for their amusement until the situations become critical in a nerve-ending climax.

The subway ad is enticing. One might even consider it elegant as well. A beautiful woman, sitting atop a desk in a sparsely decorated office, staring directly at Bobby Fastow, a blue collar worker, on his way to his monotonous yet physically exhausting job. The photograph has an unusual charisma, a spectacular presence. It seemingly leaps off and out of the poster. Bobby Fastow intensely absorbs the information directed at him. BurgerBlast, his favorite fast food restaurant, famous for quick service and reliable, if not artery-choking fare, is announcing a new name and a new direction. But, in the world of advertising, nothing is as it seems. What if the line that separates an advertisement from the real world were erased? What if an image stepped from an ad and beckoned you to follow it back, inviting you to melt into its world. Could you resist? Bobby Fastow couldn't, and his decision would turn his world upside down.
It all begins with a signal in space. A strange message.
The starship New Continent has been lost in the galaxy for over five hundred years. Guided by this radio wave, her passengers will finally be able to enjoy a world that is not limited to the ends of passageways. There is exultation. For this generation, Earth was only a legend.
But the euphoria does not last. They discover an annihilated planet and the possible extinction of mankind. What happened? How could humanity have disappeared, only leaving behind one more pebble in the universe? Questions to which the Captain Ilyana Ferguson persists in seeking answers for.
From the very first pages of this non-stop action science fiction military adventure, you’ll plunge into the heart of a thrilling plot that sets up deadly obstacles and multiplies the twists and turns. Once the first chapters are read, events take place in real time. You’ll be holding your breath. You won’t be able to put the book down…
Until the message finally reveals all its secrets.
