I have written and published both fiction and non-fiction books - in both paperback and eBook platforms - on Amazon, as well as a poetry anthology (featuring poems from 1984 to 2017) entitled SEVEN-THIRTY THURSDAY. You may contact me at iwasbeowulf56@gmail.com or (386) 481-0752. Some of my book titles under my own name, and a few pen names, include: ___________ Short (and Long) Story Anthologies: I.

Rewrites: The Pursuit of Sundown 2017; A rewrite of the original western trunk novel, and released in both color and black and white covers, in both eBook and paperback formats. The Full Length Novels of My Juvenilia: THE PLOT OF PEACEFUL VALLEY THE MASTER OF THE LOST AND FOUND THE UNDERSTUDY OF THE SCARLET SCRIPT THE PURSUIT OF SUNDOWN THE FLIGHT OF THE BORN TO RUN The publication of my first five 'trunk' novels, from 1989 to 1991. Each of these books were 400 plus page manuscripts typed upon an IBM Selectric II and transferred as the original typed pages to pdf form, and published in a 'Sears-Roebuck' catalog-sized binding. These books are women's suspense fiction, with female lead characters. They are all quite 'period' now, having been well written before the existence of the Internet and the cell phone. To date, only one of these book has been rewritten and republished in an actual paperback-sized format; The Pursuit of Sundown, my fourth novel, and only Western to date. These books were all read onto cassette tapes way back before the age of the audiobook, when spoken books on tape were strictly for the blind. Those old recordings were sold by me as Wheel Novels; I was also the narrator of the stories, as well. Should anyone wish to hear these original Wheel Novel readings in their entirety for free, please visit my CaptBeauregards Youtube Channel and check the movie lists for the five various full length readings. NON-FICTION TITLES: 1. Fifty Shades of Gray - Everything Ever Written About Extreme Realism, which is an instructional pencil drawing book for hyper-realism drawing. It is from a book that I wrote from which I taught my students at my art school, The Gallery513 School of Art & Portraiture, which was a series of six satellite schools which ran from 1998 to 2008. I also have a video by the same title which shows me drawing a portrait from start to finish. 2. Advanced Lifeguarding Considerations - A book about how to guard the water like an experienced lifeguard. 3. The Police War Stories of a Police Officer Family - the actual series of memorable incidences that my father, my brother, and I experienced while we were police officers. 4. The Substitute Teachers Field Survival Guide - a guide for how to handle the world of school children from K through 12; an actual guide about what to do, and what to expect. (written under my pen name, George Alton Willsson, because I am actually George Alton Wills' son)... 5. Thomas Jefferson - Architect of Independence - which is a companion book to a video I made about his quotes, and his conservative political views. 6. A Docent's Tour of Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest and An Afternoon with Mr. Jefferson - my actual 2012 era docent notes from my time when I gave tours at Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest.The book also has en endearing short story that I wrote about Thomas Jefferson's accidental meeting with a young girl from the future; from Thomas Jefferson Middle School. As it happens, Thomas Jefferson is my Gr(5) Grand Uncle; his older sister, Mary Jefferson Bolling is my Gr(5) Grandmother. 7. Alexander Hamilton - The Politics of Treason - which is a companion book for a video of the same name. (My various Documentaries, Reenactments, and two hour Motion Picture FILMS will be listed and added shortly).
