Sobre IBD

Sports mascots have been a tradition for decades. Along with the usual lions and tigers, many schools are represented by Native American images. Once considered a benign practice, numerous studies have proved just the opposite: that the use of Native American mascots in educational institutions has perpetuated a shameful history of racial insensitivity. The Native American Mascot Controversy provides an overview of the issues that have been associated with this topic for the past 40 years.

  • A Loving Horror
    King
    Where can I start? This was not like writing most of my novels. This one was based on a true story and was flipped to make it more of a nightmare instead of just a tragedy. It has a lot to do with how a mind reacts after trauma, or in this case how it could react. The love story between the main characters takes you far beyond normal life expectations, and even though I am clas...
