Poems and Stories from the Heart is a collection of poems and short stories about people the author has known in the South and just some of her own thoughts about things in general. Included are memories of forgotten times and places and people she has had the honor of knowing both in person and from afar. She has written things just to keep these peoples' memories alive and to validate those who are still living.

The Other Woman is a pun of a title since it departs from conventional usage of that term, and rather describes the pilgrimage of the author - a black octogenarian born in Chicago in the 1920s to a family of privilege, and at the end of life experiences a stunning revelation: her own, "other-ness" emerges. Simeon has spent a lifetime proving her belief that LOVE IS NOT GENDER SPECIFIC, and that labels for the sexual preferences of individuals are meaningless. This is the story of a normal, healthy, ordinary woman whose marriage to a "normal" man produced two "normal", mentally healthy sons, who in turn have become productive, professionals and excellent parents in their own right. It is the story of many romantic relationships with women - all upstanding, progressive, ambitious women who were significant contributors to society, none of whom thought of themselves as categorically, Lesbian. Many utilized their relationship with Simeon towards greater gains professionally and personally. One married a college President. All discovered their own sexual appetites. No one was damaged in the process. No one was abused.

The Silent Vow gives many different angles and views of looking at an adolescent’s drugs habits. The ways of a child as drugs were more important than the graduation from high School, and yet the boy graduated with his class. The lessons in life that this boy learned were drastically different than his classmates. And how many times can an individual violate the trusts of parents, siblings and friends. Mending of the ways, redeveloping trust, and regaining self control will take a lifetime. Therapy and Medication have helped to sustain a life after the abuse of illegal chemicals. The many Insights helping to avoid the corruption of the drugs addiction is seen throughout this writing. Every time the substance abuse enters into life the destruction of what progress was made is destroyed. There may not be any physical signs, but chemical and substance abuse interferes with the emotional development of a person’s well being and healing. These substances also interfere with the nurturing and healing of friendships and relationships. The decision for an individual is a personal one, and it is up to the individual to say “yes or no.” Only the reader can find some solutions offered in The Silent Vow. The choice to consume substances stands alone. Each and every person needs to choose their poisons. Some have worst aftermaths than others, and each has their own non monetary costs. These non monetary costs are not only in health, but they exist in the mental abilities, emotional impacts of tolerance as well as the relations with others that become impaired. As some can endure substance abuse there are all of those stories where the emergency room was needed for friends that used drugs. This Boy was one of those friends that needed the emergency room. This boy has found ways to stay clear of the need of emergency room assistance. The learning Maintenance and prevention skill is a personal task. Each person has different prevention skills that work. What may work for one may not work for others, and yet some that work for one work for all. Through trial and error, substance abusers learn how to find the powers to sustain their addictions from becoming active. And through learning from experience there can be one less actively using substance abuser. Through these experiences there will be less personal values lost to the problem.

The Journey of The Silent Vow primarily takes an intelligent and healthy boy through the experience of a drug cult world where his physical and mental health, are taken for granted. There was nothing wrong with the life given to this boy, yet the feelings received from the consumption of drugs and alcohol were more important than the boys own safety. Through use and abuse, this boy forfeited his wellbeing as he subjects his life to trials and tribulations. Violations of the established legal system brought to life correctional facilities, psychiatric institutions, and reformatory schools. As he violated others he left passages and ways for others to violate him. As intelligent as he was he brought all his lessons to be learned into his existence. Although this story is told with 25 years of “Hindsight”, in those 25 years of psychological understandings lessons of how to cope and deal with life were included in every step of the story. If we as adults could only have had the wisdom when we were experiencing our lives as children our worlds would all be different places?

Much has been written about the history of the gay rights movement and much more should and will be. But beneath the struggle for social and legal reform have been thousands of men and women trying simply to live their lives as best they can. I am one of those thousands: a lesbian living and loving during the second half of the 20th century. Being a lesbian is only one part of my life and yet, it effects every other part. My relationships, my parenting, my social life, my career have all been different by virtue of the fact that I love another woman rather than a man. This book is about those thousands of women whose quest for a good life is hampered - and enhanced by their love of women. It is about me. It may also be about you or someone you love. Wandering back with me through some of the issues that defined our lives during the past twenty-five years will provide you with more understanding of these same issues as they impact lesbians today. I expect we’ll share some laughs and perhaps a few tears along the way.

Ex-Captain Sue Fuller is a drunk, lives for weekends of stupor and forgetfulness working at menial jobs on Molokai, Hawaii. Even this existence is shattered when a member of her former sailing crew appears and swears that he has seen Clara, the woman whose supposed death led Sue to this half life. Thrust into a time warp when Maggie, an ex-lover, shows up asking for refuge but is murdered before she can help solve the mysteries of the past, Sue reluctantly emerges from self-enforced hibernation. She comes face to face with the fact of having been manipulated and victimized by her own lust and begins to see how her bitterness over past injustices have kept her from intimacy and friendship and caused her to become used in what appears to be an international smuggling operation. The fight for Hawaiian self-determination, a powerful symbol for agency, is woven into the complex tapestry of this intelligent and engrossing tale of corruption, betrayal, murder, and ultimately, redemption.

Three hundred sixty-six sketches of actual saints on their designated feast days, written from an alternative, contemporary, and humorous perspective. Not a collection of "gay saints," each "life" is campy and irreverent, but not sacrilegious, vulgar, or insensitive. There has never been anything like it in print and there should be. Each "day" includes the saint’s traditional or an apt patronage, an appropriate show tune or theme song, a motto, a symbol in art or iconography, and a celebrity’s mundane birthday. For example, St. Simeon the Mad gets forty hours of community service time feeding the poor from Judge Judy’s court for stealing bread for the needy. Alex Trebek must endure the sheer stupidity of the Three Stooges on a Jeopardy show. St. Rose of Lima reveals her Twelve Steps to Sainthood. St. Veronica gets advice on cleaning her veil. Collect 300 days indulgence for every time you laugh out loud . . . a totally contemptible, contemporary source. Parental discretion is advised. If your mother hates it, you’ll love it . . . Is this book for real? No, not really. Take it any way but seriously.
