Home is Never the Same centers largely around the Fifties, Sixties, and Seventies. It is about my heritage, hard work, and simple living with our struggling poor family and my connections with nature and God. It is a true account of my parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, and friends growing up on Big Plum Creek Road, surrounded by the rural farming areas of Kentucky. As a young boy, I searched for the spirit of God while wandering in the woods and walking along the edges of the creeks. I was at peace with nature. But one day, I had to leave Big Plum Creek Road and follow a different path.

Path of the Devil: Camino del Diablo is a story of true events that occurred between 1991 and 1996. DEA Agent Larry Hardin and two private investigators, Jeff Pearce and Randy Torgerson, were determined to bring down the Meraz organization along the southwestern border. For five years, the three men spearheaded two separate and simultaneous investigations in different locations that eventually merged. Jeff and Randy provided information to Larry to build his case when they found the Merazes were working with corrupt employees of their California client.

This is my story about growing up in Kentucky and my experience with law enforcement. After serving more than 30 years, I retired from the federal government with the United States Department of Justice as a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Fighting My Greatest Enemy, Myself is my story to remind America that this dirty and deadly game is still very much alive and well. As a listener, you can be assured you are not getting just another theory or opinion, but the truth of "why there is no war on drugs".
