Conflux: Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477589960)

The author is a thinker. His mind works overtime, questioning conventional ideas. Due to Dyslexia, and the nomadic lifestyle of his parents, he was not able to get much more than a third grade education. His childhood was spent traveling the West, and living in a school bus with thirteen brothers and sisters. There was not enough room in the bus so he usually ended up sleeping outside under the stars. He spent a number of years living in a religious commune in southern Utah. Because of this, he grew to distrust organized religion. In his mind, most denominations are all basically the same. Most preachers are hypocritical and do not practice what they preach. He thinks most of them teach only partial truths when it serves their personal needs. They also use their flock in order to gain power and wealth at the expense of others. Even though he does not have much respect for organized religion, he is a true believer and has strong moral and family values. He taught himself to write, spell, use a word processor and spent lots of time griping at the inventors of the English language while writing this book. This book marks the beginning of a dream, and the start of a new life and career. He lives in Texas with his family; they love him deeply.
