Proving Innocence chronicles thirteen months of agony and
frustration suffered by the innocent Bonilla and Frontiera families
as a result of Children's Protective Services removal of young
James Bonilla from his parents. Most people are not prepared to
navigate the maze of sometimes senseless procedures of a government
agency that has too much power. The Frontiera and Bonilla story and
reports of several other cases across the country should be a
wake-up call to a public unaware of how the state agencies charged
with protecting the nation's children are failing. Interviews with
lawyers, caseworkers, and others who work within the system, point
out specific steps that should be taken to improve how these
agencies work. The author issues a call to action from the public
to charge all levels of government to make necessary changes in
these agencies. They must protect children from abuse and neglect
without persecuting innocent families.

extinct Dou Pods, and the most valuable resource in the insect
world. Henry, son of a roach adopted by ants, tries to bridge the
canyon of differences between these vying ideologies and cultures.

members have been forced into slavery. They would prefer to solve
the issue diplomatically, but are prepared for war.

New South Dairy Colony 50, the second book of the trilogy, opens
with Henry as a nymph, in a coma after accidentally ingesting a bad
combination of medicines in his physician father's lab. His ant

his grandson. He reveals to Henry the details of his own life: the

The Re-Creation of Roacheria, the third book of the trilogy, tells
Henry's own story. The adult Henry is an enigma. Most members of
New South Dairy Colony 50 consider him too roach-like, even after
he grows beyond the high jinx of his youth. Influencial roaches
consider his ways of Antism, and the fact that he is of mixed
variety, dangerous to their power structure. Hatreds dating back to
the days of Henry's great-grandfather rise again in an attempt to
destroy him and the community that is dedicated to the ways of his
grandfather Antony, and which Henry seeks to build in Roacheria.
Henry and his supporters realize that if the two species cannot
come together in true peace, they will bring themselves to the same
end as the Duo Pods--extinction.
