The crow does not have red wings, they are pages of dust from a book I never finished.
I have not salted the tail of the sparrow so you won't hear its song on this page.
I never said there was a book inside every tree, nor do I know how the legless beggar feels when the memory of his toes itch. But if you must quote me, I did say; "Love heals from the inside."

David was a chef for many years. The army paid for much of his training after his tours of duty in Vietnam. David ended his career as a banquet chef with the Hyatt Regency Hotels. Along the way he did a lot of catering work for major publishers and their employees. David also did private parties for them at their homes.

When David had enough of the 18 hour a day, 7 days a week work schedule, he decided to pursue what was at that time just a hobby. That hobby is books. David's hobby has now grown to the point that he now has regular customers in every state and 5 different countries. David will tell you it's more of a service than a business because it has never been about money. It is about helping others. "I don't keep the connections just for myself because I'd rather share my good fortune with all that I can", says David.

Most of what little profit there is goes to the Military Order Of The Purple Heart. "I have calculated just how much I need to live on, and it is calculated in such a way that when I die, I will be back to zero, just as I was when I came in. The Army will pay for my funeral, and then I'm done. Till then, I'll continue to lose a certain amount of money each month, year in and year out, until the bank account is empty. By then, they'll be pulling the plug on life support, and I'll be content in the knowledge that I'll have done all that I could to achieve my goal of helping all that I can."

Some folks have wondered about the paw prints featured throughout the site. "Bear Paw" was David's code name in Vietnam.
