My Gun My Brother

Despite the heated competition for colonial possessions in Papua New Guinea during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the personnel required to run an effective administration were scarce. As a result, the Australian colonial regime opted for a quick solution: it engaged Papua New Guineans—often to perform the most hazardous and most unpopular responsibilities. Based on extensive interviews with former policemen, written records of the time, and reminiscences of colonial officials, this book links events involving police, villagers, and government officers (kiaps) over a forty-year period to wider issues in the colonial history of Papua New Guinea and, by extension, of the Pacific Islands and beyond.

When the eldest son of an attractive family kills a security guard and promptly takes flight, the brother and mother he leaves behind are not ostracized. They become media darlings and when the second murder occurs they are fully-fledged stars.

My Brother's Keeper is a Christian mystery novel about a young man who has spent the last twelve years in prison for a crime he did not commit. His brother was the one that committed the crime, but there is no way he would allow his Down syndrome brother to go to a prison or any other place that would keep him confined. His brother would never have been able to understand what he was doing there, plus having other physical problems, his brother would have most likely died while he was in confinement. Now that he has been released, he finds the world he knew before prison has changed, but he was changed in prison also. His entire family has died during the twelve years he was there, and he must now make it alone. His Christian faith is tested when a member of the family affected by his brother's crime tries to take their hatred out on him. This story is about love, family, and small-town living. The opportunity to be someone's keeper always presents itself if you are looking and seeing with your heart. If you ever truly wanted to know what being your brother's keeper means, this is the book for you.

I am especially dedicating this book to my father (rest in peace). They say that all good things will eventually end, well for me, that is not the case. This book is the new beginning of bringing back to life the people and things thought to have come to an end. I decided to name this book “A product of my own environment”, because; all of us are just that. Growing up in Chicago IL, my environment naturally put inside of me to never speak on things I knew nothing about, and not to mind the business of others. This was all part of everyday survival.
