Stories I've
Written.
for children & grown
ups
When we were young, dad used to tell us Jacko stories.
He created these characters and brought them to life for us any time
we asked him. None of the Owen kids ever forgot Jacko, even fifty or so years
later! Since I began writing, early in 2002, It was on my mind to bring
Jacko back to life. With God's help I've done it. Though I will never
be able to tell them like my dad did, none the less, Jacko lives! I've
recorded them too, see below..

Jacko
My brother Stan brought this carving home when he was in
the merchant navy. It typifies Jacko,
and still lives at dad's house. He was much darker then.
He's gone gray with age.

The
Earthrise Trilogy

Return.."

mankind. A rescue mission that leads to an unforeseen outcome.

Sequester..
The book of Revelation tells us that there will come times
of terrible devastation. Hollywood has made many films about
it. This book explores a possible scenario of just such a
time, and man's involvement in it.
