The world of Henry Roach-Dairier continues, but the torch of chronicling the events has past to his grandson and namesake. Some twenty to twenty-five thousand years after the extinction of human beings, the earth is quite different. It is dominated by highly-evolved, large and intelligent ants and cockroaches, and other "wild" insects. Ants live comunal lives, dedicated to each other, while roaches are materialistic and self-centered. Both species are chemically dependent on plastic--mined from the land fills of the long extinct duo pods--the most valuable resource of the ant/roach world. Plastic is vital to the mental development of ant larvae and roach nymps. Without it, they reach adulthood physically and mentally impaired.After the death of his grandfather, young Henry Roach-Dairier II promises to research and complete the story of how the ant colonies formed the Combined Colonies of Insectia. In this setting, one roach official, whose plastic mine has run dry, forcibly takes over a nearby ant colony. A second roach does the same thing to another colony but takes it to the extreme, slaughtering the entire colony and then taking over his rival's interests and depriving his ant slaves of the plastic their young need. Young Henry Roach-Dairier finds there is much more to the story than is taught in either culture. In revealing the entire story, he places his own life in danger.

Middle grade historical fiction set in 1913 in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this work is also enjoyed by adults of all ages because of its different perspective on the history involved.

Proving Innocence chronicles thirteen months of agony and frustration suffered by the innocent Bonilla and Frontiera families as a result of Children's Protective Services removal of young James Bonilla from his parents. Most people are not prepared to navigate the maze of sometimes senseless procedures of a government agency that has too much power. The Frontiera and Bonilla story and reports of several other cases across the country should be a wake-up call to a public unaware of how the state agencies charged with protecting the nation's children are failing. Interviews with lawyers, caseworkers, and others who work within the system, point out specific steps that should be taken to improve how these agencies work. The author issues a call to action from the public to charge all levels of government to make necessary changes in these agencies. They must protect children from abuse and neglect without persecuting innocent families.

Enter the world of Henry Roach-Dairier: a future world where humans no longer exist. Insects, greatly enlarged and intelligent, dominate. Ants live communal lives, dedicated to each other, while roaches are materialistic and self-centered. But both species are chemically dependent on plastic, mined from the ruins of the extinct Duo Pods, and the most valuable resource of the insect world. Henry, son of a roach adopted by ants, tries to bridge the canyon of differences between these vying ideologies and cultures. The Re-Creation of Roacheria, the third book of the trilogy, tells Henry's own story. The adult Henry is an enigma. Most members of New South Dairy Colony 50 consider him too roach-like, even after he grows beyond the high jinx of his youth. Influencial roaches consider his ways of Antism, and the fact that he is of mixed variety, dangerous to their power structure. Hatreds dating back to the days of Henry's great-grandfather rise again in an attempt to destroy him and the community that is dedicated to the ways of his grandfather Antony, and which Henry seeks to build in Roacheria. Henry and his supporters realize that if the two species cannot come together in true peace, they will bring themselves to the same end as the Duo Pods--extinction.
