W. Nikola-Lisa explores new terrain—his childhood experiences growing up in south Texas during the early 1960s.  Unlike his previous books, this is not a book for young children as the author explores the darker elements growing up in a harsh environment.  Although the work feels like a memoir, it reads like a novel with the author’s spare, unrelenting narrative a perfect accompaniment to the time, place, and underlying familial issues. If you like this book, then you might also like Shark Man, a novel for the middle grades, which picks up where the author left off in Dragonfly taking the reader to the Florida beaches where young Billy-Boy learns how to skateboard, surf, and make new friends.Description: W.

    W. Nikola-Lisa / WNikola-Lisa

However, reader beware: this is not a user’s manual, nor is it a logical argument for or against astrology. It’s more a tongue-in-cheek, behind-the scenes look at the fascinating world of this ancient, though...

Over the years I’ve come to believe that both are indispensable, that they are two sides of the same coin, distinct but inseparable. Prayer can be a powerful tool, but it is slow in its eff...
