Biography

I work as a software developer in the Washington DC area for my day job.

In 2012, I co-authored with Messie Jessie "Pimp ur Blog Episode One: Boost Search Results with Social Bookmarking," ASIN B007KNLEB4, and "Pimp ur Blog Episode Two: Increase Search Results with Articles and Feeds," ASIN B0083TV298, the first two eBooks of the "Pimp ur Blog" series.

I used to have a lot of interest in consumer education topics, as shown by the out-of-print titles which I wrote and marketed to libraries in the late 1980s.

With my two 2011 eBooks "Getting Well for the First Time," ISBN 978-1-4661-4566-5, ASIN B005ISPPZE, and "When Do I Get to Live My Own Life?" ISBN 978-1-4657-5271-0, ASIN B005ZS33EW, I'm now more interested in human development and psychology.

  • Sex & The Subconscious: Perversions and Diversions in the Realm of the Libido on Sep. 07, 2011
    star star star star star
    This eBook describes where people need to get to in understanding their own underlying problems, instead of focusing just on their presenting symptoms. What I found fascinating was Dr. Arthur Janov's explanations of the process by which people can permanently return to normal functioning. Sexual dysfunction is the theme, and other areas of dysfunction are also covered. Every chapter has at least one portion written by a person who healed their dysfunctional sex life. The most compelling stories for me were written by women who suffered incest. What happened to them caused unimaginable pain and problems in their lives. Yet these women were able to find true relief and resolution. I believe that their stories will change each reader. Reading this eBook will be one eye-opener after another for people who suffer from sexual symptoms.
  • Mommy Can't You See..., His EYES Are Always On Me! on Oct. 06, 2011
    star star star star
    This is a book that documents the author's real-life childhood trauma. Telling her story serves the purpose of revealing, rather than concealing, the reality of universal human experience. I hope that readers will allow themselves to feel the pain they will feel as the author's experience resonates with their own. Who among us didn't have physical, emotional, and/or sexual violence against us in our childhood? If we honestly answer this tough question, then we can get to how we individually address our history, our reality, in a way that helps us. If we turn portions of our reality into a fantasy, as the author did and so many authors do, how does that really help? I applaud the author's effort, and hope that others will also write an autobiographical work that documents their personal feelings.
  • Storm Rising - A Kelli Storm Novel on Oct. 27, 2011
    star star star star star
    Reading Storm Rising by Kenneth Hoss was like watching several entertaining episodes back-to-back of a television crime show set in New York City such as NYPD. There were conflicts and resolutions in all levels: between the local police and the Feds; between the local police and the criminals; within the protagonist herself, Kelli Storm; and among the characters immediately surrounding Kelli, such as her ex-husband, ex-boyfriend, and mother. I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next, so I finished the book in an afternoon. Just like a television series, not all conflicts were resolved. I look forward to the next book in the Kelli Storm series.
  • Who Else is There? on Nov. 06, 2011
    star star star star star
    I found the author's treatment of the characters' relationships in Who Else Is There? to be very realistic. We generally seek out people who offer what we need. The main characters needed partners who were most similar to themselves. When one character became disabled, for example, he subsequently changed his love interest to favor another who was also disabled. Another character in Who Else Is There? falls out of love with a male character who changed to become unlike herself. She doesn't follow the trail of her feelings back to the origins of her needs. She instead gets drawn in with another male "twin." The sex and violence of police work led to some contemptible characters. The author didn't provide graphic descriptions for the most part, but let the reader fill in the blanks. Who Else Is There? was both an action-packed and unsettling read. I recommend it to people who read cop and action stories. The sequel, Suffer Little Children, is also now available.
