Vol #1- The Sword Of Ichiban Vol #2- Darkening Sun Vol #3- Revenge Along The War Trail Vol #4- Death From The Sky Vol #5- Jumping Into the Darkness Vol #6- The Fall City Mandate. One autobiographical novel, 'The Death Of The Playground' a Best Seller, published in 2007. One travel novel, 'Searching For Crazy Horse,' published in 2005, recapping my forty years of motorcycle touring in the American Rocky Mountain West. I have written one Children's Book, 'Sammy & Bumpers' that was published in 2016. All of my books are available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and better Book Stores world wide. Kurt Philip Behm

Madame

She was often better

but never good

Her virtue tainted

misunderstood

 

Her nights a mystery

each day in shame

The rumors spreading

each one to blame

 

The men who knew her

that man who left

Impassioned bookends

of time bereft

 

She was often better

 yet often worse

Each day repeating

—tomorrow’s curse
