The Hidden Treasure of Dutch Buffalo Creek
A Belgian walking cane stands as a testament to the change washed by the waters of the Dutch Buffalo Creek pictured in the photo.
Vincent penned “The Hidden Treasure of Dutch Buffalo Creek” under the pseudonym of Jackson Badgenoone. It reveals the story of an entire family as seen through the eyes of the principal character and his “imaginary” never born observers. More about the plot can be discovered at the publisher website, independent booksellers, Barnes & Noble, or on Amazon.com.
This story launched the Hidden Treasure Novels imprint. It examines conflict between peace and war, love and hate. Political, societal, and spiritual themes thread through the storyline. An Heirloom edition contains additional references that amplify the story. The Heirloom edition is also available as an audiobook.
Neverborn
Did you ever have a period of time in your life when the whole world crashed in on you? Rachael, the principal character in this book had such a time; an entire year of tragic events piled one upon the other. Her path leads her to write about relentless attacks on her spirit. Along the way she seeks solace from reading about others who have experienced similar loss. Neverborn is a valuable resource for anyone dealing with loss and grief.
The Cranny
Cover Art painting created by Amber Fritz as she dealt with the most challenging change, the loss of her firstborn daughter. No coincidence that “Neverborn” was dedicated to Ariel Grace Fritz.
This story expands one data point delivered in the opening chapters of “The Hidden Treasure of Dutch Buffalo Creek.” In this book, an army of tadpoles circle in a shallow cranny- a pool of water isolated from the rivulet that continues on to the sea. An aging man enters into their world. Turns out he is the same principal character that brought life to “The Hidden Treasure of Dutch Buffalo Creek.”
The Monarch and the Moth
Cover Art Painting created by Lainey Nguyen, at the time a grade school student. Lainey was asked to capture the essence of the opening chapter of the book. No coincidence that Lainey is one of the grandchildren in the story who discover the impact of change.
Turns out that the tadpoles aren’t the only creatures who must cope with change. In this story, caterpillars comprehend the metamorphosis that will forever change their lives. Like “The Cranny” this book amplifies anchors developed in “The Hidden Treasure of Dutch Buffalo Creek” and the “Neverborn” sequel. This time the author relates the change to his children and their children.
“Change happens. Observe, appreciate, and embrace the change that comes into your life.”
