Book Description
Everybody’s Gulf War Syndrome is a little bit different. Or so believes Larry, who returns home from Desert Storm to find his hair gone and his bones rapidly disintegrating. Then there’s Lance Corporal James Laverne of the US Marines, who grows a third ear in Kuwait. And in the audaciously comic novella “Notes from a Bunker Along Highway 8,” a Green Beret deserts his team after seeing a vision of George Washington, only to find a new calling—administering aid to wounded Iraqi civilians; he’s hindered only by the furtive nature of his mission and an unruly band of chimpanzees. Together these narratives form a bracing amalgamation of devastating humor and brilliant cultural observation, in which Gabe Hudson fearlessly explores the darker implications of American military power.

Book Description
“Ice Cream for the Soul is eloquently written and is an ingenious work of art. The words in each poem carry such a richness that connects, comforts, and inspires the human spirit in a way that is thoughtful and transforming.” —Dr. Tecsia Evans This is a collection of poems and art inspirations that I enjoyed writing and painting for more than forty years. The art images are from my Chaos collection. They depict the chaotic lives we live before meeting Christ in black and white. Through coloration, they then show how his love can change our lives forever, making them full of life and beauty. My hope is that you find inspiration, encouragement, and joy in the reading of this book.
