Small Tales About Young Kids is a first person book about the kids in Richard’s neighborhood in Irving, Texas. These stories though will remind you of your own childhood and why you gave your parents prematurely gray hair. Laugh along with these kids and reminisce about your own upbringing.
There’s more than one crisis at Lovely High: A bad economy, budget cuts, business sponsorship drying up, losing football team, teacher lay-offs looming, a deflated spirit mired in tradition and local school values. How will Principal Brenda Kirby and her administration stop the school from spiraling into mediocrity? How will boys’ counselor Don Frerichs light the spirit back in LHS? Will school board president Rick Fairless support proposed changes for modernization, or will this east Texas city demand things remain as they are? What does it take for Coaches Kevin Fields and Les Oakes to keep their football team from having another losing season? And what about the mysterious nutcase who keeps setting fire to the school? Read it all here, in “The Mighty Hogs of Lovely High”!
This book is now available as an audio book.
This short story deals with a situation that most young boys find themselves involved in while establishing their boundaries. It’s about marking their territory, and in keeping with this idea, the reader should enjoy this tale of a young boy trying to spread his wings.
The story is set in a suburban neighborhood of North Texas in the 1960’s; Mike and Randall both wanted to be the “King of the Neighborhood” among their playmates. See how this bigger-than-life problem (for a small boy) was finally solved.

There are questions and interviews with answers concerning the system that 90% of us go through, the Education Institution that exists to propel us into the future.
Richard is a strong advocate of students receiving a trade before high school graduation, and lays out the reasons in ‘Faith and Labor.’

If you have ever wondered what it might be like to be swept up into the dark side of chocolate, in an unknown world of business, murder, romance, betrayal, smuggling, and redemption, then you might appreciate the novel, “The Lovely Chocolate Mob.” It’s a story about Randall Owen, a man who, by his own admission, is a boring and routine civil cngineer, who enjoys his daily routine so much that a trip to the snow cone stand is an adventure. Read (or listen!) as Randall is drawn into situations that are larger than himself.

Richard has recently made a turn into Bible editing … no he hasn’t written anything here, he’s helped to format the ‘King James 2000’ version for paperback publication through Amazon. He has helped friends to make the New Testament ‘King James 2000’ into a LARGE PRINT 16-POINT EDITION, as well the usual 12 point edition, then formatted the Old Testament ‘King James 2000’ as a 10-point Edition. What is the ‘King James 2000’ all about? It’s a minimal update of the KJV, bringing the 17th century English up to 21st century usage. No ‘thy, thine, thou, ye’, no ‘-eth, -est, -st’ endings, no archaic ‘wist, wot, froward’ words, only equivalent words used today. All words of Deity are in Bold Type in both New and Old Testaments, unique in the history of Bible editions. Check them out on Amazon!

30 September 2017 marked an important day in the life of Author Richard J. Bennett … he retired from being a City Carrier with the USPS, and now has more time (and energy) to pursue his hobbies and interests, especially writing and recording. He has finished the audible version of ‘The Mighty Hogs of Lovely High”, again (since the first recording was erased by the Computer Store while removing a virus), and is now in post-production. He has joined a local writer’s workshop in the DFW area, and spends most of his new-found freedom swimming at the 24-hour fitness, working on the yard, napping, improving what he’s already written, and has started the third book of the ‘Lovely’ series … so watch for new developments !
A Pigeon’s Tale is the latest novel from S.A. Mahan. It is available as an audio book with Richard J. Bennett as the narrator.
Young Walter is a pigeon living a simple life in a rancher’s coop when an attack sees him barely escape with his life to the big city. When he heads south for the winter, he’s adopted by a family of ranchers … and his life is never the same.
Walter bonds especially well with the scientist grandfather who begins working with the pigeon on a secret project in which nothing is as it seems. As a pending catastrophe looms, Walter learns all about the ancient history and hidden abilities of his kind — and comes face-to-face with his own destiny.
Surrounded by forces beyond his understanding, the fate of the earth hangs in the balance as Walter faces a struggle that challenges everything he knows.
