    Or perhaps you might enjoy a trip down to the Cellar along with Rosalie, as she is summoned down there by the eerie voices from another dimension. Is the house haunted, or is Rosalie losing her sanity? You must join her and figure this out, because her boyfriend Franco and best friend Maria are losing their patience with her. Only Michael, an old college friend, is willing to save her. Go ahead, open "Voices" and get down to that cellar!

     Maybe you might enjoy a "Novella"? One that is long enough to take you on a literary journey into the lives of Grace and her family - yet short enough so you may walk away in time to make dinner or go out on the town... "Secrets and Lies" is about a family who is threatened by a Mafia boss, betrayed by a once-perfect husband, protected by a handsome lawyer, and blessed by a family priest. One big family secret and one huge marital lie destroy the family dynamic between Grace, her husband, her children, her adoptive parents and her loving cousin. Are you ready for this one? Go ahead, try it!

    Now if Poetry is not your thing (or not your thing at the moment), we can go back to another novel, titled "Lives Unbalanced". I think you can almost guess where this is going.  - So check it out and come meet "Ramona". She is the special doll that crosses that fine line between the Supernatural and Reality, in order to assist her dear friend "Susan" in avenging her brother Marty's death and also in protecting her from the deranged "Joe". Suspense and Romance drive the plot, with an added twist of mysticism, mystery and revenge. Go for it, if you dare? I promise you this story is "insanely" sane.

    Now, I have another novel that will surely interest you, titled "The Last Christmas Card". It is a bittersweet story, sparked by a "Last" Christmas card which raised concerns for Dom. He soon learned a woman he loved more than a friend, was missing. So he set out to find her. You must take this journey alongside Dom, who soon becomes entangled in a toxic love triangle between three teachers - Dom, his dearest friend Rosa, and his new acquaintance Julie, as he searches for his lost love - Rosa. This journey takes Dom down a dark path that nearly destroys him personally and professionally. Dom soon learned that in life the better choice might be to walk away and never look back. His choice to move forward will lead you and Dom to a place where Rosa awaits. Are you ready to make that choice with Dom?

 “A New York State of…”

 

The clanging of Citibikes

Docking at relentless bike stations

that seem to welcome their vehicular transports back home

as if they have just returned from war

Sounds like bombs going off

Casualties of war

Sounds like gunshots being fired

Casualties of the big city

Cannot sleep! Cannot hear ourselves speak!

Cannot enjoy a good movie in our living rooms!

Must endure the jolting sounds

that vibrate inside our hearts

Startling us with no remorse

as we recover from near fatal heart palpitations

Unfair we say! Screw you, they say!

We remain in a New York state of Noise!

We remain in a New York state of Chaos!

We remain in a New York state of…

 

No one cares! No one listens!

“Cannot fight City Hall” they say

…so true, because our screams have not been heard

We tried, but they ignore all of us

It’s been several years now

And those metal structures have won

along with the Powers that Be!

They have taken over parking spaces

They have created danger zones

as drivers pull out of those spaces

while bikers roll right on through

risking getting hit by a car

without a care in the world

The bikers blame careful drivers

cursing them out for getting in their way

while the City protects the bikers,

holding drivers liable

giving bikers “carte blanche” on our streets

Unfair we say! Screw you, they say!

We remain in a New York state of Noise!

We remain in a New York state of Chaos!

We remain in a New York state of…

 

Annoyed cab drivers try hard to smile

Forewarned never to idle in the bike lanes

to pick up their “fares”

What are they to do?

They park on the nearest street corner…OMG!

Heartbreaking to watch the elders walk to corners

Limping with canes to catch their cabs

Slip-sliding on icy sidewalks in the dead of winter

Praying they do not fall and break a bone

These bike stations have teased delivery trucks

who once had a path to our homes

but now must navigate around these bike stations

to deliver packages, furniture and the like

A real circus act…Really…I have seen it

Oh Yes! The Department of Sanitation grins and bears it too…

They simply dance around the bikes and through the bike stations

with bags of garbage in hand, from house to truck, and vice versa,

gyrating in between each bike;

So amusing to watch from our windows

Get the popcorn!

Unfair we say! Screw you, they say!

We remain in a New York state of Noise!

We remain in a New York state of Chaos!

We remain in a New York state of…

 

The NYPD, FDNY, EMS

have lost immediate access from the streets to our front doors

as these mean old bikes laugh out loud in contentment

while those in need sit helplessly in tears

And these bike stations are filled with garbage…

Coffee cups, soda bottles, old rags,

raunchy used-up masks, and construction debris

Discarded food items are left for the “rat” brigade

Citibike workers come by on occasion to clean it all up

They push a lot of it to the middle of the street

or to the front or back of the bike station

Typical solution from our once great City!

What are we to do?

Absolutely nothing!

We tried…but no one listens…no one cares

Unfair we say! Screw you, they say!

We remain in a New York state of Noise!

We remain in a New York state of Chaos!

We remain in a New York state of…

 

This is New York City, and people have no say

Some of the people anyway…

If you are NOT a Liberal or a Democrat

If you are not part of the far-left movement

Then shut up! Remain silent!

There will be no compromising on the issue

No representation for you “Conservatives”…

Just Noise! Noise! Noise!  

that only the “victimized” can hear

Just Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!

that only the “victimized” can see

The “Others” are ecstatic

They say it is just like in “Europe”

A Bicycle Eutopia

Unfair we say! Screw you, they say!

We remain in a New York state of Noise!

We remain in a New York state of Chaos!

We remain in a New York state of…

 

I ask, why don’t you try living with the high-level of decibels

from the noise pollution at these bike stations every day?

This time in front of your homes,

bouncing off your eardrums,

startling you to the core,

my Dearest Bikers and Politicians!

Then tell me all about your “Utopia”

Your false sense of delight you bask in

…Relocate these belligerent bike stations

to non-residential areas

In front of schools, parks or libraries

In front of stores, nearby subway stations and factories

That will be “our” Eutopia!

-         As everyone wins!

It’s been a while since our eardrums were at rest

It’s been a while since our hearts were calm

It’s been a while since we slept in peace…

Yes, you cannot fight City Hall

Unfair we say! Screw you, they say!

We remain in a New York state of Noise!

We remain in a New York state of Chaos!

We remain in a New York state of…

We just remain!
