An Old Rancher’s Christmas

In December 1936, the body of a white male is found murdered in the alley way behind a Negro-owned night club in Vicksburg, Mississippi. No witnesses come forward and the police are baffled. Eventually, through the fine work of local law enforcement officials, a suspect is found ... a black male from Vicksburg. The police obtain evidence this man committed two crimes: the murder of that white male, and the rape of a white woman. Both are capital crimes punishable by death in the state of Mississippi when the perpetrator is a black person. Before he is brought to trial, a mob of white men storm the jail, grab the prisoner from the jailer’s custody and lynch him just outside of  Vicksburg. The local African American community is outraged over this lynching given the charges brought without any evidence. Sister B is among those angry and vows not to let this happen to her little son. In the Spring of 1938, she leaves Mississippi for Los Angeles with the expectation her husband and son will join her later. A close childhood friend of Sister B is living and working in Oregon. The friend invites Sister B up for a visit and she accepts. In 1939 while traveling by train from Los Angeles, California to Coos County, Oregon, Sister B encounters a Japanese gentleman who is visiting America as a tourist. She notices that the gentleman from Japan is carrying sophisticated camera equipment and is taking an extraordinary number of photos as the train moves along its northbound coastal route. The two eventually engage in friendly conversation and become close traveling companions. However, that “closeness” is tested with the arrival of three other traveling companions on that fateful northbound train up the west coast. Sister B and the man from Japan learn that the juxtaposition of war and racism, of truth and deception, of triumph and tragedy, are ubiquitous in America and in Japan.

If you want to stop relying on your day job and have the freedom to pursue your dreams, then keep reading…

Do you feel stuck in a miserable job, slaving away from 9 to 5 because you don’t have any other income and are scared of not having enough to get by?

Do you want to have the flexibility and freedom to spend more time with your family, travel the world, or work on your personal projects?

Are you looking for a way to increase your income and build your wealth without spending a lot of money upfront and while still keeping your day job?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you may want to consider investing in real estate as a path towards financial freedom.

According to Forbes, real estate offers the safest, steadiest, and simplest way to build wealth. In fact, Andrew Carnegie once claimed that “90% of millionaires become so by investing in real estate.”

Even millennials know that real estate is a key way to build wealth, with the average millennial millionaire already owning 3 properties.

I know what you’re thinking… I don’t have millions of dollars to buy real estate! Well, you don’t have to be a millionaire to get started in real estate investing.

Many millionaires started with just a small investment and built up their portfolio from there. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger used his bodybuilding savings to invest in real estate, which eventually made him his first million. Acting didn’t make him a millionaire. Real estate did!

Think of it this way:

By saving and investing just 7% of your paycheck for a down payment, you can already own real estate and start reaping the benefits.

Financial Freedom with Real Estate is a straightforward guide to help you understand how wealth creation works through real estate. It provides useful tools and strategies for real estate investing, even without millions of dollars.

In Financial Freedom with Real Estate, you will discover:

• How you can replace your salary with rental income, so you are not dependent on your 9 to 5 job


• Why millionaires like Shark Tank judge Barbara Corcoran say that real estate is the best investment you can make


• A step-by-step guide into getting into your first real estate investment


• 6 essential formulas you need to master to make money


• How to buy your first investment property, even if you don’t have money to invest


• The secret to saving money by owning real estate


• The lease arrangement that most real estate investors overlook, that can bring in higher and steadier returns


• 3 simple ways to double, then triple and exponentially increase your investment portfolio and send you on your way to become financially free


• Free bonus: An easy-to-follow checklist when choosing a property to invest in

And much more.

It is no longer enough to rely on your job. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how expendable employees can be in times of crisis.

64% of Americans don’t have enough money for retirement and will have to keep working beyond 60. Do you want to be one of these people?

Don’t get left behind and remain stuck in a thankless job. Start your journey towards financial freedom today.

"OMG - best book ever written by someone who seems to know exactly what I am feeling and going through. I have heard of many of these steps before but not sure I have seen them all together in one place and definitely not explained so clearly.

Thank you for putting the whole process into perspective and reminding me to take small steps. You are such an inspiration!" Karen H.



"Judy, I loved your book. There are so many nuggets of wisdom contained in these pages! I'm glad it's short and to the point, because I plan to read it several times as I work through the steps.

Detective David Knight lives in Birchwood, California. It is a small town in The Fiasco Valley of Elviño County, which is world famous for the wine it produces. The town seems idyllic until young, healthy, male, harvest workers start turning up dead. While trying to solve the crimes, David meets a beautiful Mexican woman and falls in love. Follow David as he does detective work in order to catch the killer, or killers, and solve the rash of murders. Keep following David as he runs from the drug cartels that have started their own country and as he escapes monumentally mad Martians. David's political views and psychological problems are often put on display and the results are rather amusing. It's a hilarious and informative look at life in a dull town in a wealthy valley that is beset by murders . . . or is it? Since this book doesn't really fall into an established genre, the author came up with a new one. "VD: Vintage Death" is a political sarcastic comedy, and so falls into the new "Polisarcasmedy" genre. It could become a huge, popular genre if our politicians don’t improve.   

Even after five thousand years, riches can be found among the First Stellar Civilization’s dead, shattered worlds—with luck and the right coordinates—Holtz Mitsumi has neither.

But as he watches hope and his last credit disappear on a failed voyage prospecting for lost First Civ tech, Mitsumi stumbles on a mysterious artifact in the wastes of an abandoned alien city.

Compelled to find the artifact’s origin, but struggling to finance the expedition, Holtz meets the enigmatic Aber Chandra who persuades him to make another prospecting run. After scraping together a rag-tag crew, they embark with high hopes.

But nothing is as it seems, and this run may be the end of Mitsumi and his crew.

When Abby Harris takes her faithful German shepherd out for a hike in Oregon’s beautiful mountains, getting abducted by aliens isn’t even a blip on her radar. Her trusty can of bear spray and pocket knife aren’t much help against the seven-foot monsters who swoop in out of nowhere to transport her to a ship in space.



Nicolai Nekbet is Crown Prince for the House of Nekbet on the planet Raiden. Unable to bear healthy children with females of their own species, Raiden warriors must hunt for a bride outside their own world. Nicolai has his heart set on a human even though their planet is protected by an ancient species called Laizahlian. When he sees the tall blonde-haired beauty out in the mountains with only a dog by her side, he knows he must have her.



With Abby safely on his ship, Nicolai injects her with his shaprata, his essence. His shaprata will change her on a cellular level, making them compatible for procreation, but he must still work hard to win her heart. If she rejects their union, it could easily mean his death.

A Second in Eternity is the true story about the author’s 1977 "near-death, out-of-body" experience, one that changed his life forever and still inspires and empowers him to this day.



Over the course of a day or so, Mr. Wimmer found himself becoming increasingly more psychic, minute-by-minute and second-by-second, able to see, feel, and know things, especially the immediate future, at will and with uncanny clarity. Within days, the intensity escalated to the point where he could no longer remember what 'normal' life was like.



After a week of experiencing such phenomena non-stop, while pacing down a crowded sidewalk, he was involved in a head-on collision with a speeding car.



He instantly left his body, felt amazing bliss, and witnessed the accident from above while expanding outward in all directions, like the surface of a balloon being instantly filled with air. Losing all sense of a personal self, he experienced ecstasy and beauty beyond description for what seemed like an eternity, then returned to his body, sprawled out on the chaotic street.



Still, he clearly realized what had happened. He was gone from my body for only seconds of Earth time, but for what seemed like an eternity in the highest of dimensions.

A Second in Eternity takes the reader on a vivid voyage through the mind and soul of one becoming overwhelmed by psychic phenomena. It describes the onset and escalation of the unfiltered perception that takes over when the wall that usually separates the conscious and subconscious minds begins to dissipate. This story reveals the steps I went through in unknowingly going from normal everyday consciousness to dimensions and worlds beyond imagination, to being at one with the Infinite, and to returning back to the world of space and time on Earth... as a different person.



A Second in Eternity contains the remaining paperwork and copies of the original police and court reports taken from microfilm, but with all the names blocked out for privacy concerns.

After his business partner commits suicide under mysterious circumstances, Doctor Lawrence Rosewood is unwittingly thrust into a desperate battle to stave off a consortium of criminals who have set their sights on gaining an unwelcome foothold in his Golden Ages chain of retirement homes.

At first glance, it appears to be just a normal takeover attempt, but when their sinister motivations behind the unsolicited move become apparent, the psychological chess match between Larry and his opponents turns deadly.

Rosewood’s predicament worsens when he discovers that Ted Villeneuve, his best friend and business partner, has committed a crime that could cause their empire to disintegrate beneath his feet.

With his business and love life in disarray, Larry meets a young man afflicted with a rare genetic condition. Their instant friendship provides Doctor Rosewood with the inspiration and assistance to turn the game in his favor.

ONE LAST MOVE is a fast-moving suspense-filled tale, guaranteed to make you want more.  The plot is intricate but cohesive.  Rosewood’s last move turns out to be an unexpected stroke of genius, bringing the fast-paced story to a satisfying conclusion.

Good reading for mature readers.
