READ ALL ABOUT IT! FLASH! Discovery made of Writer's Identity to answer the question: " Who is A.R. Koheen? " . Published in 'The Best Poets of
1957' at age twelve under the name of an adult member of the family and again the next year at thirteen, under yet another pseudonym, A.R. Koheen suffered
from a speech impediment and debilitating shyness. Finding an outlet while a young adult once accepted for publication under
a pseudonym in French Quebec for four volumes of rhymed poetry, "Le Jardin rempli de Verse", in the 'Man
as Nature' genre and a requested fifth book, while earning "Top Foreign Master" in 12th Century Japanese Haiku in
Tokyo, Japan for three years in a row as 'A Poet', assumed to mean Arthur Poe. Penning a half-dozen, unpublished
plays with aspirations of becoming established as a novelist, as well as over
a hundred individual poems published in the overseas market, for fear of rejection; the best of which were later
reprinted independently as 'Anonymous' in the day's top magazines. Fortified by a brief stint as a 'ghostwriter' of
three, masculine-rhymed volumes of poetry that were sold by an 'agent', who owned and operated a bar next to the local Greyhound
Bus Station, to an 'author' less intimidated by public appearances, that earned him three prestigious rewards before his
career ended abruptly with the shocking murder of the father figure in Koheen's life, as well as the subsequent
deaths of the biological father who abandoned his seven babies at birth for being the wrong gender, and the shocking
murder of one of the sisters when she attempted to leave the porn industry where she'd been lured by a 'loving' boyfriend.
Yielding the dream of publication for over thirty years to the responsibilities
of marriage and family, before discovering an authentically American voice on the Internet in 2006 at the age of
62 after the rise of the personal computer and the World Wide Web, then with the first Paul
Lee McWhorter Western Life Book being accepted by an outside publisher in 2010 at age 67.
She hasn't shut up since. .

father was killed by a deranged rancher who’s shot and killed his wife and best friend in the delusion they were having
an affair behind his back, Paul put her up on the bedroll tied at the back of his patient dun’s saddle, told her to
duck as he swung his leg over the top of the broad backed mustang to mount up and ride away, and she’d been with him
and Luke Cole ever since. Manolito was the orphan of an outlaw, apparently a couple of years younger than herself, who’d
simply wandered into their camp one night, dazed, bloodied, unable to speak about the tragedy, but he could cook better tortillas
and range-tough beef than either of the two grown men; when no one claimed him, he was simply given his own horse at the next
town and they’d became inseparable. As elder
statesman of their little group, Paul McWhorter had always made it clear that on the day after her eighteenth birthday, if
he was still alive at seventy, a scant three weeks after that, he would retire from enforcing the Law, but on that day
she was to catch the nearest stage and ride Back East to claim her late father’s inheritance. Like Luke Cole’s
constant lament that one day he
would find a good woman with a small spread and bust cows instead of heads, it always seemed dreamlike, and never near enough
to happen in reality-until the day Luke met his match in the Widow Perry and he shook hands with Paul and Manolito but oddly
ignored her gamely struck forth hand to pull her into a disgusting ‘womanly’ embrace that turned her world upside down as she rode out behind the
leather tough Lawman and the oddly grinning black haired imp who knew how to cipher better than she did as she approached
her three hundred and sixty-fourth day until her 18th birthday. - " Indian Summer " ~ Novel The Paul Lee McWhorter

The synoptic Gospels accounts within their
cultural perspective Jesus of Nazareth from
a Jewish Woman's point of view
◊ A Novel by: . A.R. Koheen as: Miss LuNae
Christine Simpson . . He existed
because He always had; there would never be a time when He no longer existed. He existed as Three in One, because he had always
existed so and there would never be a time when One would be Greater than the Other, or in any manner separate. This was simply
so. He devised worlds of infinite existence within Him, compressed in one infinitesimal portion of Him which would operate
like variations of a hum within the limits He chose for the sublime and the subatomic, and this pleased Him.
He created Time, space, matter and energy because it allowed Him to create yet another Being to share His love and fellowship,
seeing it from its emergence aware of Him on an intimate basis to the time of the Great Rebellion wrecking havoc on the
second creation, and He knew each Soul, its joy, agony, life, dreams, hops, expectations, disappointments...those who would
honor him and those who would perish from willfulness and with only a moment's pause in the vast spectrum of eternity, He
chose to begin Creation, knowing its terrible consequences to His Spirit and Mortal Body for the sake
of those who would turn and smile at Him in love, fit to enjoy these pleasures inherent in Him for the remainder of Eternity.
He formed the virgin Mary, placing
her at the approbate moment, just as he placed the Others who would present His struggle to the eyes of mortal Man and the
watching beings who weighed the outcome and awaited its completion, within His Times. But His face was turning toward the
day He could speak to all whom He loved and call "Come up Hither!": For their true mission in life to begin. Never
shirking the details, never too busy to listen or care, the unseen Hand that held Creation and the widow's heart, and when
it was time He set His Star in the night skies over the third planet from the Sol in a nondescript portion of a minor galaxy
and He wailed at his first breath in miniature lungs of a newborn. It had begun. - http://www.gaines-highlander.org/the-price-of-dream1
