Mariposa - A Love Story of Costa Rica

Paperback - 93 Pages - $8.95

Press to Order

Five hundred years before the Spanish found the American continent, about the end of the first millennium, Native Americans lived and prospered in Central America, including the land now known as Costa Rica. Truly a natural wonderland then and now, the natives were able to employ their farming skills and prosper from the rich soils, the forests filled with game, herbs, and spices, and the lakes and two oceans rich with fish and crustaceans.

The Mariposa story as written incorporates the classic ending of Costa Rica's Legend of Zurqui, one that reflects the beauty, mystery and spirituality that is Costa Rica. You can PREVIEW the Book on Amazon.com at: Mariposa Preview (This is Chapter 1 in its entirety):

Mariposa, or butterfly, is a story about two young Native Americans, a girl and a boy, each a favored child of a chief, but of different tribes. These two tribes, historically hostile to each other, lived a few days march apart in the mountains north and east of what is now known as Costa Rica’s central valley.

The two natives meet by accident, fall in love and begin to plan a life together only to be frustrated by events beyond their control. The lovers are eventually drawn to a mountain volcano which is thought by many to be the home of the gods, particularly Sib'ö, the Great Spirit, who they believe had created the world. Mariposa is also available in Spanish:

Quinientos años antes de que los españoles encontraran el continente Americano, cerca del final del primer milenio, nativos americanos vivieron y prosperaron en Centroamérica, incluyendo la tierra ahora conocida como Costa Rica. Al ser en verdad una maravilla natural entonces y ahora, los nativos fueron capaces de emplear sus habilidades agrícolas y prosperar gracias a su fértil suelo, al bosque lleno de presas, hierbas y especias, a los lagos y a dos océanos ricos en peces y crustáceos.

Mariposa es una historia sobre dos jóvenes nativos americanos, los dos hijos privilegiados de un jefe, pero de diferentes tribus. Estas dos tribus, históricamente hostiles entre ellas, vivían a unos pocos días de marcha de distancia en las montañas del norte y del este del valle central de Costa Rica.

Los dos nativos se conocen por accidente, se enamoran y comienzan a planear su vida juntos, que se frustra únicamente por eventos más allá de su control. Los amantes son arrastrados a un volcán el cual muchos creen que es el hogar de los dioses, particularmente de Sib’ö, el Gran Espíritu, que creen que fue quien creó el mundo.

Como estas historias son leyendas, involucran una buena cantidad de mito, lo que deja tanto al escritor como al lector la libertad de especular diferentes desenlaces. La historia como está escrita incorpora el final clásico de la legenda de Zurqui, que refleja la belleza, misterio y espiritualidad de Costa Rica.

Entreprenewal! Business Management Guide

Paperback - 96 Pages - $13.95

Press to Order

This book was authored by someone with forty years business experience who had his own practice helping small and medium sized businesses as a management consultant for more than fifteen of those years. During this period he operated as principal consultant for some 110 businesses. These included what the government defines as “small” businesses, meaning less than 500 employees and also includes “micro” businesses, that is to say, those firms employing less than 20 persons.

One of the things the consultant noticed in his practice was that, as businesses grow, they tend to have similar problems not necessarily related to the type of product or service they offered. These fall into the areas of strategic planning, human relations, profit and expense controls and disciplined sales/marketing programs and strategies. There was enough similarity in problems from company to company and enough repetitiveness in their solution to compel the consultant the write a book outlining the problems and solutions.

Entreprenewal was written to provide small business owners and key managers a simple understanding of the tools widely used in larger, successful businesses in order to improve their management abilities. The suggestions and operating procedures in "The Six-Step Recovery Program for Small Business" are basic management concepts found in major business schools which have been simplified to better fit smaller businesses. These operating procedures and techniques are tried and tested systems that have been installed in businesses of all sizes for management consulting fees of several hundred dollars per hour and many thousands of dollars total cost. They work.

S.O.B.E.R. - How the Acronyms of Alcoholics Anonymous Got One Drunk Sober - by Ian Asotte.

This is a tale of a life changing event and experience written by Ian M. Asotte (a pseudonym). The characters are all real but all the names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.

Paperback - 185 Pages - $12.85

Press to Order

S.O.B.E.R. is a bird’s eye view of how Alcoholics Anonymous works from the perspective of a long time, sober member. S.O.B.E.R. tells the story of William R. Schumacher - III (real character - fictitious name), a middle class professional who reluctantly enters the world of AA after falling out of his neighbor’s house one night in a drunken stupor. In a search for ways to help him moderate and manage his drinking so he could once again enjoy a “perfect two martini lunch”, he finds instead the shocking reality that his behavior is a disease which demands total abstinence.

Along the road to recovery our hero earns the nickname “Billybob” and encounters a number of colorful characters whose backgrounds run the gamut “from Yale to Jail.” Initially, Billybob is put off by the persistent use of dozens of acronyms often heard in AA meeting rooms. Eventually, Billybob understands how the acronyms and sayings of Alcoholics Anonymous help the afflicted and overwrought brains of recovering alcoholics absorb the meaning of important principles that enhance recovery.

S.O.B.E.R. takes you into the rooms and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous as if you were a member. You will observe and relate to the pain, joy, suffering, confusion, elation, anger, resentment and, above all, the spiritual mystery that is AA. To the recovering alcoholic, S.O.B.E.R. re-affirms the success of the Alcoholics Anonymous program where “rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.”

To the person struggling with the possibility of being alcoholic, S.O.B.E.R. may provide a non-threatening basis for self-identification and an impetus to investigate the program as a means to overcome their disease. To the non-alcoholic, S.O.B.E.R. is an irreverently humorous yet inspirational look into a parallel dimension in modern behavior known as Alcoholics Anonymous.

To Eternal Happiness - by Abelardo Garcia, Jr.

Press to Order

This is a true and tragic but loving story of a family that found itself facing terminal cancer in their youngest child, Alan. The boy contracted a particularly aggressive form of the disease in children, neuroblastoma, at the age of five.

The story recounts the bravery of the boy, his strong love for each and every moment he had with his family and the profound effect he had on his parents and older brother. The story as experienced was written by the father. The older brother, Abel, who long ago had became Alan's hero and mentor also became the editor of his memoir. The whole family participated in chronicling the events of the story.

Along the brief journey he had in this world, little Alan became a great fan of comedian Robin Williams and his biggest wish was to meet Williams personally. During that period the family spent part of their time living in Monterrey, Mexico and the rest in California. When they learned that Williams lived in San Francisco, they went out of their way to show up one time in San Francisco to meet the famous entertainer, which they did through the efforts of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

From that point forward Williams and little Alan became friends for life which, unfortuantely, was to be way too short for both of them. The book recounts a series of "coincidental" events that occurred before and after Alan's passing on August 10, 2002. The earlier coincidences involved surprise at how easy became the opportunities to make young Alan's life happy and loving despite the difficulties of treatment and constant testing. A second great coincidence occurred when Williams died exactly 12 years later on August 10, 2014. (Note: the date on Williams death certificate is August 11, 2014, but that was when he was found and pronounced dead; it's highly likely he died the previous day)

GG found the reading of this book compelling. Just one caution to the reader; have a big box of kleenex at your side when you read it.

A Woman Awakens: Life, After Life - by Jan Hart

Paperback - 302 Pages - $13.45

Press to Order

This book was written by a very talented and accomplished watercolor artist who lives in the southern mountainous quadrant of Costa Rica.

Living in northern New Mexico, Jan Hart had contracted a spinal infection after having a history of disc problems and surgeries. On recovery from the latest episode she had a vision of, and from, an entity named Rafael who gave her a message: "You are to be conscious." Not sure as to what this meant, she is moved, because of her training and education in art, as much by the colors in the vision as by the words.

Not long after her vision, she made a move to Costa Rica having discovered the colorful biodiveristy of Ticoland. The book recounts all of the considerations, problems, uneasiness and wonder that typically arise with the exodus from the mother country and the arrival of an expatriate in the adopted one. After assuming residency, she meets another expatriate, Frank, who had moved here earlier. They become friends, then lovers and are married soon after, becoming true soul mates in the process.

Tragedy ensues with Frank's untimely death from a heart attack. Broken hearted but thankful of the time she had with Frank, Jan sits down at the computer one day to write a book of her experience. Instead she receives a message from Frank asking how things are going. At first understandably apprehensive, she comes to accept Frank's continuing presence in her life which continues to this day.

For those that believe there is a world beyond the obvious, the visual and the tactile you will find this book touching. For those that can't bring themselves to believe there is another dimension, a parrallel or spiritual one, this book might just bring you a new idea of what consciousness can mean.

Crazy Jungle Love: Murder/Suicide Mystery of the Century - by Carol Vaughn

Press to Order

Crazy Jungle Love is the true story of an American couple who arrived in Costa Rica in 1998, leaving behind their lives in the United States -- forever. John Bender was a multi-millionaire hedge fund manager, and Ann Bender was his beautiful and exotic wife. The Benders both suffered from bipolar disorder, and perhaps other mental illness challenges. They settled in one of the most remote and wild areas of the country, an area famous for dangerous animals and unfriendly neighbors. Their dream was to create the area’s first nature reserve, and to live out their lives peacefully, discovering new flora and fauna on their 5,000-acre estate, while creating an animal conservation program for the Southern Zone.

That dream began to unravel after the first three years, as the Benders both descended into the agonies of mental illness, exacerbated by neighbors they had alienated, and financial problems which they had not foreseen. Then their Costa Rican lawyer allegedly stole one hundred million dollars from the trust they had created for the reserve, and a former business partner of John’s sent goons to Costa Rica to attempt to collect on a debt of ninety million dollars he claimed John owed him.

John’s life ended tragically in 2008, by a single bullet wound to the back of his head, with only John and Ann present in their master bedroom on the night of his death. Ann was accused of John’s murder, and was tried three times for intentional homicide. During these three trials, Ann fell in love with Greg Fischer, an American fitness trainer and fellow nature lover. Greg died under mysterious circumstances in his own bedroom, while Ann was in Preventive Detention for John’s murder. Ann had lost the nature reserve, $20 million of her jewelry collection, and her house and household effects while in detention. It was assumed that their lawyer had absconded with the Bender fortune, and moved to Nicaragua to build his own Shangri-La, complete with Arabian horses and fantasy mansions. Costa Rica confiscated Ann’s passport, leaving her few options for escape.

Crazy Jungle Love describes an operatic love affair set against the background of the jungles of one of Central America’s most beautiful countries. The plot is replete with shady characters, questionably honest police and judicial officials, antiquated forensic techniques, profound mental illness, strange behavior by lawyers and friends, native legends and folk tales, and a tragic heroine who seems to have lost everything of any value in her life. Ann Bender has survived, but at a terrible cost to her wellbeing. The story is told in intimate detail by the reporter from The Costa Rica Star who covered Ann’s case for four years, documenting each twist and turn from a bird’s eye view in a Costa Rican town very near the Bender estate. The question still remains to this day, Who killed John Bender?

Chronicles of a Lifelong Traveler

Press to Order

I thought long and hard when a friend suggested I write my memoir. It occurred to me that I had many extraordinary experiences, especially when traveling in more than fifty countries and principalities and living in four countries—Costa Rica, England, Germany, and the United States--that would provide a reader with an abundance of tales and maybe some surprising insights. Besides, no one can relive many of my experiences because some events can’t be duplicated.

Would you like to know what it was like to attend the Dallas Fort Worth Airport opening and meet a future president? Or what I experienced being pregnant and having to work as a secretary for a political PR firm? The highlight was meeting Henry Kissinger. Or perhaps you would find attending a wedding reception for a British Musician and his friends when he married a Greek girl fascinating?

As I recorded most of my experiences, the tales were written based on reports, not according to the fuzzy memory of an aging woman.
