On July 19, 2010, Newsweek’s lead article was “Creativity in America”. The primary message in the article was that the single greatest shortcoming in American business and education was creative thinking. The article said it could not be taught. I disagree with that. Creative thinking can be taught, and this audiobook proves it.

Dead Men Do Roll Dice is the 1912 saga of millions of dollars in embezzled Alaskan gold that are being stockpiled to open a bank in Canada. The only clues are a sourdough who has been tortured, killed, and dismembered; a dewdrop of incredibly refined gold; and 18 paper balls the size of buckshot. This is a twisted tale based on historical fact which involves Alaskan gold, Mexican bananas, Pancho Villa, and the First World War. At the center of the drama is United States Marshal Gordon Whitford.

In a decade, half of all Americans will be working in jobs that do not exist now. How do you figure out what they are going to need before they need it? When a Circle Is a Square is a combat manual for the entrepreneur who is looking the tap the business opportunities of the future. It offers a spread of options to turn illogical concepts into money-making products and services that “have never been seen before".

On July 19, 2010, Newsweek’s lead article was “Creativity in America.” The primary message in the article was that the single greatest shortcoming in American business and education was a dearth of creative thinking. The article also said it could not be taught. I differ with that assessment. My book, Eating a Bear with Its Own Teeth, proves you can teach people to be creative thinkers.

It started with a murder. And an odd one. The victim was killed with a shotgun on a steamship, and his body was dumped overboard. In a cork life vest. With a note in code to the United States Marshal in Juneau. It’s 1910, and Alaska’s wealth is threatened when President Taft takes back all coal lands. Without coal, there will be no gold mining. Steve Levi has mixed fact with fiction for a wild ride in the North with anarchists, socialists, coal, gold, murder, and the opportunity for United States Marshal Gordon Whitford to turn the tables on a cabal of East Coast coal barons.

Biography of the last of the Alaska bush pilots to be the subject of a biography.

A combat manual for getting elected to local public office - on a shoestring budget.

In real life, no one tells you what is happening. You pick “the truth” up by combining tidbits of information, gossip, newspaper fillers, rumor, confidential memos, telephone messages, fake news and maybe-fake-news-but-who-knows. A Hat Rack in a Snake Farm is written as a collection of the above which, together, reveal the story. This is an on-the-ground look at what happens when there are millions of public dollars "for the taking" and the corporate hyenas gather.

This audiobook discusses how Alaskans view tourists and also offers a tourist's history of the state. The author Levi specializes in history and creative thinking. His historical specialty is the Alaska Gold rush.

Students hate history. That’s because 95 percent of high school and college history students don’t know what they are supposed to be learning. History is not an academic subject; it’s a tool for life. If history teachers knew what they were doing, they’d be teaching their students to “think like a pirate". Which is exactly what this book does.

A faux history of the people and events of the Palm Springs area from 1916-1930.

Why would someone kill a miner, freeze his body solid on a glacier, and then drop it alongside the Juneau wharf, the one place where United States Marshal Gordon Whitford would be sure to find it? Does it have anything to do with the 250 pounds of gold that have just been extracted from the Alaska Gastineau Mine? And how were both the frozen body and the gold able to disappear off a steamship that made no stops between Juneau and Seattle?

History is the most boring subject in school. Don’t believe me? Ask any student. Or listen to the lead story in Newsweek’s combined issue of March 28 & April 4, 2011: “How to Get Smart Again.” If we as teachers want to make history a quality subject we have to make it relevant and interesting. That’s why I wrote The Murder of History: Why Students Hate History and What to Do About It.

Four decades ago, when I started my own small business, I looked for a book that would explain all the nuts and bolts of day-to-day survival as a small business. There wasn’t one. And there still isn’t one. So, I wrote one.

The Praxis of Seth is 18 hours in the life of technical writer who is suddenly immersed in a bundle of crimes which vanish upon inspection but for which he is hounded by authorities who have no legal authority but not by legal authorities who have authority. It’s a tale of fraud, deceit, duplicity, doublespeak, treachery, and trickery that is, in realty, not very far from the truth of what is going on in your town as you are reading this paragraph - and unusual because of the extended use of the Fourth Panel.

At the peak of the Cold War, Mitchell Minor was born to a military family living on Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan. Unknown to his parents, the base's groundwater was contaminated from firefighter foams (PFAS/PFOA), de-greaser, and jet fuel. His mom drank the poisonous water which caused Mitchell’s small head (microcephaly) and other birth defects. This book is for every family who feels overwhelmed and for friends and family to better understand how to help. The Minor family invites you to experience God’s love during their 30-year journey with Mitchell.

Cadzow, a full-blooded Athabaskan Native, becomes a pawn in a high stakes gamble by a malicious Juneau mine owner. Cadzow is falsely accused of robbery, and the mine owner anticipates that Cadzow will be caught and hanged. Since the native cannot reveal where the money was hidden, the mine owner, who had robbed his own mine, would end up with the money. But Cadzow is not stupid. He steps free of the trap and escapes across the Mendenhall Glacier into Canada ahead of the posse on his trail - led by the greedy mine owner.
