Misfit Toymakers is a Historical Fiction set in the future, back dropped by the secession of Texas from the Union and the states that follow with it, the politics of the fifty years between now and then. It is an intrigue of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of his Loves, as Joshua Danz discovers, then navigates the waters of international commerce to make a place in the world, looking for a life where terrorists, politicians, millionaires, and thugs arent trying to kill him. Through it all there is the story of love, leadership, personal responsibility and redemption. Joshua Danz, a man conflicted by who he was, is, and is not. He discovers that his is a life of wealth and power that must be learned, not earned. He is the master of a massive, global Enterprise, and yet somehow he is its subject. Also, he is a man of strong desires and dedications; his love, though quiet and covert, is powerful as it drives him to find all truth about himself. As a man with no memories, he discovers that he has been told the story of his life, but then his memories begin to reappear, like a favorite movie, with an additional lifetime attached. All is a jumble as he learns, for certain, who he is and what has happened. He discovers his past, the parts played by others and their intentions. He begins to plot a way out, but not without those he holds dear. He is among the most wealthy, nearly unknown men in the world, torn between women, kingdoms, and lives. Ethyl, the woman he first comes to love, after his recovery is a real piece of work. She is smart, capable, beautiful, sexy, deadly, and wise. She works for him, as his administrative assistant and much more. She makes certain that his every command is carried out, and she protects him with her life a life that is not nearly as long as it looks. Joshua will avenge somehow, if he can only overcome the truth he discovers about her. Doctor Ilyssa Marquez Doc was born in Mexico and is a genuine genius and medical doctor who had her Bachelors at sixteen, Masters at eighteen and before she was thirty had perfected the hardware and surgeries that would rebuild Joshua, almost from scratch. Ilyssa is beautiful, brilliant, and engaging in every way! She is burdened with intrigues as the sponsors of her work on Danz, simply take away her promising future, and she wants it back.

Joshua Danz, is a man of the future. He lives in a time you and I may not live to see, and in a world that we can only imagine. From his lofty perch atop Dancing Stag Tower, he sees the comings and goings of the Corporations and the Nations, especially the USA and Texas. Along his way, he will see and share with us people of all kinds; especially those of government and commerce, small and large, from the field hands to the board rooms, from the lowest functionaries to the Oval office. He will see, and express how they differ, how they are often the same, and how the world would be considerably better if we all just remembered the words of Jefferson, who said, "At best government is a necessary evil, at worst a tyrant."We get to watch as he falls in love, loses, gains anew, takes on the United States wins and dies, only to win again. Join our journey through the new world, with a firm understanding of Capitalism, Socialism, Cronyism, and more, and along the way learn to love and hate a few of the people in Joshua's life. This revision takes into consideration the Trump White House, what can be done about it, and what can't, as well as the new direction taken by the United States in the decades that follow. Take a look, consider the price and reward of the success of the politicians and the businessmen, and learn whether people working for their own self-interests is in your interests as well.

Toys--those celebrated childhood cohorts and lead actors in children's imaginative play--have a fantastic history of heroism in fiction. From teddy bears that guard sleeping babies to plastic soldiers and cowboys who lay siege to wooden block castles, toys are often the heroes of the stories children inspire authors to tell. In this collection of new essays, scholars from a great range of disciplines examine fictional toys as protectors of the children they love, as heroes of their own stories, and as champions for the greater good in the writings of A.A. Milne, Hans Christian Andersen, William Joyce, John Lasseter and many others.
