Why God Matters: How to Recognize Him in Daily Life (2010)
Do you feel distant from God? Do you want a closer relationship with him? God is with us always, sometimes in ways we don't even realize. Deacon Steve Lumbert and his daughter Karina Fabian share their stories of how God led them from casual belief to deep devotion, and offer tips and exercises to help you see God's hand--and take it.
Far too often, we expect God to show Himself in grand ways yet ignore when He makes His presence known in the day to day. Neither Deacon Steve nor Karina had dramatic conversions. Rather, God led them into deeper faith through the seemingly minor details of life: pot of rice, a habit of prayer, a frustrating flight home, or a barefooted stranger. This father-daughter team have written a delightful, quick book about finding God in the day-to-day. With thought-provoking quotes, heartwarming stories, Bible verses, passages from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and simple exercises the reader can fit into his or her daily routine, they help others recognize God's presence. Great for the casual or converting Catholic longing for something more in their relationship with God, or the "advanced" Catholic wanting light spiritual exercise.

Firestorm of Dragons (2008)
The first DragonEye, PI story included!
So you want to know about dragons? Run the gamut of stories about the mythological beasts in a "Firestorm of Dragons." Humorous tales of extreme sports with genetically engineered animals and pesky door-to-door salesmen with scales exist beside conventional stories of treasure and deceit, hunter and hunted, hatred and sacrifice. See how dragons exist today without most humans noticing or abandon all preconceived notions and imagine a dragon as a 1940's-style detective. Let your experience with dragons end with a trio of stories depicting possible ends to dragonkind - one uplifting, one poignant, and one heart-wrenching in its melancholy.

Short bio: I'm a mother of four who writes to keep her sanity. Of course, "keeping sane" means escaping into worlds where nuns run space search and rescue operations, where a psychic teen escapes the insane asylum and arrives on another planet, and where a cynical dragon private detective has to save the multiverse--again.
