David Alexander Thomas was purposefully named by his parents after his paternal grandfather's middle name and after a man who was after God's own heart as well as Israel's greatest king. His paternal grandmother marked him as and held him to the standard of a king from the age of five. Thomas's family was careful to follow the lead of his grandmother and was intentional to instill the truth that a king's value is not found in possessions but in his influence to lead others to life. With this as his foundation, Thomas uses the notes from his life's experience thus far to inspire and encourage the reader to lead a life of excellence in education and in music. With exuberance, he shares the "notes of it all" in his inaugural book, The King's Notes.

Racial and ethnic inequities continue to be prevalent in society today. Whether we willingly admit it or not, racial and ethnic inequities start and end with us. Personally-mediated inequities are more common and more toxic than other forms of inequities because they affect our mental health and well-being. Personally-mediated inequities also support, perpetuate, and maintain systemic racial inequities, creating disadvantages for some groups of people. Making judgments grounded on biased assumptions about a person's abilities and motives can result in differential treatments based on race, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Changing mindset by intentionally disrupting our biased ideas, beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, and assumptions about people is liberating. Mindset: The Equity Dilemma, Interrupting Personally Mediated Inequities can help us intentionally confront our biases and provide guidance on how to purify and renew our minds. The concepts outlined and explored in this book can be applied to our lives, regardless of the spaces (social or professional) we occupy. If we desire to live in a fair and just world, interrupting personally-mediated inequities is a critical step every individual should be willing to take.

Three boys grow up in rural North Carolina in the World War II era. Although from very diverse social backgrounds, they formed lasting bonds that amused and amazed all but their families. As with most, they drifted apart during college and postgraduate education, having developed different goals and values. The Vietnam War further separated them as one became a USMC combat pilot, one a Naval flight surgeon, and the last a protesting, antimilitary internist. Their extreme experiences in Vietnam led to epiphanies as to the core values of each. The death of one reunited the surviving two, revealing how horrid experiences led to greater understanding of themselves and others. One surrendered his surgical training to become a creative-writing professor, while the other found that his earlier moral and ethical digressions resulted in entrapment that ultimately led to international fame in medical research.The story centers around an upward-moving young female reporter who is given the task of interviewing a creative-writing professor at Duke University as a proxy for the famous medical researcher who never gives presentations nor gives interviews for fear of revealing the past. She knows little of the reason for the interview, nor why she was selected, making the entire scenario mysterious. The children''s tale of Three Billy Goats Gruff was the basis of a childhood play game enjoyed by the two survivors that later becomes the metaphor for how hard experiences led to change and self-actualization as the identity of the troll is revealed.
