Synopsis

Jesus of Kneeland Humorous Fiction Opening sentence: Chapter one. "... And God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son . . .” This worried Happy.” Jesus of Kneeland is the odyssey of a young man. His parents, Happy and Breeze, believe they have given birth to Jesus, the savior, who has returned to earth. We follow this outrageous adventure through a bizarre series of events such as: getting arrested for overturning every bit of furniture and creating havoc at an IRS office, being represented by Wanda Wright of Tabloid TV, (“In this day and age Jesus will need an agent, and I’m that person.”), to appearing on the Reverend Oral B. Mint’s Glittering Gospel Hour in the Glittering Green Glass Cathedral in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Heart of the Heartland. Our naïve young man, Jesus, is pulled in many directions by those who want to use him for their own ends. Countless scenes and turns of phrases make you smile and laugh out loud. The prevailing mood throughout is light hearted and tongue-in-cheek, making for a quick, smooth read, and very enjoyable story. Jesus of Kneeland is a wonderfully satirical take on power, money, and ‘mega-Christianity’. Best of all, the reader really isn't sure how it will all end. Sit back and enjoy the skewering of the hypocrisy we see every day. Jesus of Kneeland is an insightful look at contemporary American society and is a unique book—one of a kind.

When I worked at Hoopa Valley High School in Humboldt County, California I initiated and coordinated the effort to teach the languages of three of our area’s Indian tribes: Karuk, Yurok, and Hoopa. I got these languages accredited with the University of California system. We made the front page of the New York Times. This project was, and still is, a first in California and after 24 years these languages are still taught at Hoopa Valley High School.
