Native Nebraskan Joe Brown has lived a good life. In his
collection of true stories, Brown takes a poignant look back into
his past and all the ways his family and friends have influenced
his path in life.
Brown-who grew up on a dairy farm until his teenage years, when
he moved to Farnam, Nebraska-offers an introspective, often amusing
glimpse back into the simple times of his childhood when vacations
meant traveling a few hundred miles to visit family, when holding
two fingers of his father's hand meant security, and when neighbors
and friends came to help whenever they were needed. From the
carefree, barefoot days on the farm to the tumultuous changes as he
matured into manhood, Brown reminisces about both the good and the
bad as he learned to appreciate hard work, those who loved him
unconditionally, and his relationship with God.
"Man, What a Time-Man, What a Life" shares one man's
inspirational perspective on his life from childhood to present day
as he reflects on his unique moments in time.

seems. Hollam's desire is simple. He just wants to raise a family
with the woman he loves; but trouble always seems to shadow him.

to defend his life and to confront the legendary Void, a mighty and
malevolent force he does not know how to fight. Desperately seeking
help in his homeland of Roumanhi, Hollam turns to the rulers, Cail
and T'skya, to provide the aid he so badly needs. Instead he finds
his allies dwindling, his distrust growing and his hopes
shattering. Feats of great courage and sacrifice soon dominate
Hollam's life as he tries to unravel dark mysteries and save his
home from decimation. But his path is paved with agonizing loss,
betrayal and torture - soon everyone and everything he really cares
about is put in jeopardy.
Tales of Roumanhi, Homequest: Liberation is the first in a series
of novels about the land of Roumanhi and the almost insurmountable
problems the inhabitants face in their struggle for freedom. T'skya
is young, inexperienced and expendable when she is sent to Roumanhi
from the Homequest, a vast spaceship that is coming to the end of
its functional life; her duty to secure a new home for her people.
Heading for a city, she crashes in the desert, only to wake up in
an ancient forest on the wrong side of the mountains with a spear
in her flesh, surrounded by hostile Roumanhi forest dwellers who
think she is an enemy. She soon learns that the dwellers from
Wilderwood enclave have good reason to hate and fear the race now
dominating their lives. Their families have been split up, their
people brutalised and enslaved, their treasured land ravaged and
plundered and their monarchy slaughtered. T'skya strongly desires
to help, but the natives with their spears and arrows are no match
for the more advanced enemy with their blasters and laser cannon.
Eventually she formulates a very dangerous plan to secure their
freedom; a plan which endangers those closest to her, and which
leads to revelations that change all their lives. Liberation is a
tale of heroic sacrifice, of tragic loss and passionate desire, of
ancient races and peculiar creatures, of treasured mythology and
warfare. It is the story of a group of diverse people, both friend
and foe, who share a goal - Liberation. For more information about
Roumanhi, please see the website at: www.homequest-liberation.com
