This book is the second edition of my first book, “A Commonsense Book with a Trillion Dollar Project,” now with a new catchy title and improved cover: “Where is the FKN Commonsense?” I had to republish it with essential modifications to better address ongoing societal issues contributing to the divide in our nation. Instead of stabilizing other nations and highlighting crime and violence abroad, we should focus on reducing our crime rate, curbing violence, and building our infrastructure. With the American spirit second to none, as the world leader blessed with abundance, we are a beacon of hope and the most powerful nation with the best constitution. We stand up to tyrants and champion human rights, innovation, and freedom. But why is our society becoming polarized, with increasing insecurities and fears? Despite heightened security, why are we more vulnerable? Though we help the world more than any other nation, why do we have more enemies and dissatisfaction at home? Are we complicating matters by following the marketing gimmicks of mainstream media, politicians, policymakers, lobbyists, and corporations? Have we, as peacemakers and nation builders, created more chaos? Why are we eager to fix other nations instead of improving our own? Why are we trying to liberate nations only to create more terrorists and chaos? Isn’t it time to start evaluating beyond the glitter, biases, and greed? Shouldn’t we ask commonsense questions and simplify our approach as Americans, not as corporate hawks, biased lobbyists, Democrat-Americans, or Republican-Americans? The Trillion Dollar Space Economics Project concept supports and discusses a commonsense mindset with a vision of peace, collaboration, generating tremendous employment, reducing polarization, and reviving the post-COVID economy. It’s time to focus on making things better at home and harnessing our potential for the benefit of all Americans.

Feral Eyes Book Two... takes us on a tumultuous ride into the mind of Wendi Feral's brother's misogynistic mindset. Mark Feral is... in one word, 'Sinister!' Many characters are back from the original ‘Feral Eyes’ manuscript, yet this standalone story is an intriguing blend of personalities. After being paroled by San Quentin Prison, Mark Feral, Wendi’s brother, absconded; Mark is hell-bent on punishing his sister. This story is action-packed with diverse counterpunching factions, with toxic aligned relationships that appear to coalesce at times and at other times are at each other’s throats. Like real life, these characters exhibit jealousy, lust, envy, and a smattering of love and passion. In these pages, you will read about the personalities of a few narcissistic psychopaths. These individuals have their agendas and will not let anyone stand in their way. Tell me, does any of us know what the other is thinking and planning? Behind that smile is their ulterior motives; we’re all actors on Earth’s stage. If pushed into a corner, what extremes would you resort to? Survival is instinctual in all living entities Fight, Freeze, or Flight. We come into this world alone and leave it the same way. Be wary. Even the most docile person can be aggressively motivated; we portray what we want others to perceive. Stare into a mirror, slow your breathing meditate, and stay still for 3 minutes. Whom did you see? Peer inside your real spirit; your soul is glaring back at you. We’re many people; whom are you impersonating this evening? This is not a book for you if you’re easily shocked by matters of real life or if you’re a stalwart for the politically correct crowd or prudish; sorry, much of this action narrative is outrageously on slippery slopes. Please read the sneak-peak before venturing out without a parachute.

Contraband Cultures presents narratives, representations, practices and imaginaries of smuggling and extra-legal or informal circulation practices, across and between the Latin American region (including the Caribbean) and its diasporas. Countering a fetishizing and hegemonic imaginary (typically stemming from the Global North) of smuggling activity in Latin America as chaotic, lawless, violent and somehow ‘exotic’, this book reframes such activities through the lenses of kinship, political movements, economic exchange and resistance to capitalist state hegemony. The volume comprises a broad range of chapters from scholars across the social sciences and humanities, using various methodological techniques, theoretical traditions and analytic approaches to explore the efficacy and valence of ‘smuggling’ or ‘contraband’ as a lens onto modes of personhood, materiality, statehood and political (dis)connection across Latin America. This material is presented through a combination of historic documentation and contemporary ethnographic research across the region to highlight the genesis and development of these cultural practices whilst grounding them in the capitalist and colonial refashioning of the entire region from the sixteenth century to the present day.
