My collection of poems has anything from my personal life experiences to a little advice based on those experiences, to thoughts that I had to put down on paper, to me giving my own definition of a word then elaborating on it. In this collection of poems, I’m opening up to the world. I also discuss influential people in my life. It’s an autobiography in a way. One that explores all aspects of me inside and out of my mind.

The Horn and the Halo is about an angelic demon who somehow ended up with a halo wedged over one of his horns. His childlike behavior and animated thoughts compel you to see him as a lovable character, although he can be very devilish. As Lord Devil begins to plot against Thath, the book transitions to Earth, where the Defense Forces (good guys and gals) are protecting the people of Earth and the planet itself. The various characters in the military all play a vital role as a team to maintain the balance of the forces, as well as themselves.

An ascetic romantic, John Patrick Acevedo began his quest for God and love while he was a freshman at Clemson University. As he showed up rather nervously to his very first college course, he was quite stunned to see a beautiful professor, Amanda Dyer, who would prove to be instrumental to his writing. During his sophomore year at Boston University, he started to “write poetry that was exactly the same as the Holy Bible.” It was only after graduating after Boston, however, that he committed to writing poetry.

This audiobook is about a passion for writing. The poems contained herein are a selection of many I have written. They are a variety of many places of the mind and in our times. Throughout the years, I have been in contact with some special people and some special places. I have been offered a rare opportunity to be a part of recording things as I saw them. It is great fun to rearrange words to give a different meaning to what we thought we already knew. I will continue to write poems for those who enjoy reading them, including myself.

Arranged in an evolutionary fashion, these verses demonstrate both personal growth and the process of grieving. As a whole, they illustrate the series of emotions we all experience as we make sense of the world around us and our life within that world. This collection of poetry presents a journey from darkness into light, depicting the progression of human emotions over the course of our lives.

E.C. has been a groundskeeper for tennis courts, especially the green clay courts. He teaches tennis in the evenings in the parks. This audiobook is about his prayers and reflections on his life and the game of tennis as he goes about working, teaching, playing, visiting friends, and going to church.

There is no reason to live in fear of success when you have the Bible for edification. We have only one life, and while we are here, we should not take it for granted by not doing our best. No, this is not to have your best life now so you can gain all your wealth and give it away to the poor. This is simply a rallying of words to discontinue the thoughts of financial boundaries to thoughts of financial liberty. Take life by the horns!

I want to give a moral message for readers. I know sometimes that parents, even teachers, have problem with children, especially with young teenagers. So I decided to write this book. I think children reading my stories will understand and see their mistakes, and it will be a useful handbook for adults in order to spend wonderful time together.

I wrote this anthology over a period of 11 years on and off. This book is borne from an encouragement and cheer ministry I have on the job plus the special gift I have in writing Christian poetry. I have been writing and reading verses and poems to cheer the sick I care for. I added a Bible verse each time, and both were received well and created joy in their hearts.

Pond Mountain Tales recalls experiences of the author during his 11-year stay at Pond Mountain, a 200-acre farm, with his first wife, their three sons, and eight dogs. Close encounters with snakes, blue herons, geese, turkeys, and vultures were a daily experience. Three lakes teeming with fish framed a story of the author's fishing parties for claimants in one of his settlements. A parody of point and counterpoint between a famous plaintiff lawyer and a chemical manufacturer is also featured.
