Book cover of Deals, Danger, Destiny by John LaCasse

Memoir

Deals, Danger, Destiny

by John LaCasse · first published

Twenty-five years as a Seattle yacht broker brought John LaCasse into deals with business magnates, political figures, actors, royalty — even an organized crime boss. This is the story of a mountain boy from Montana who became a wizard of wealth and penthouse living, then one day stopped to ask: what for? It is no typical memoir. From a chance conversation with a thirteenth-century theologian over coffee at Shakespeare and Company in Paris, the deals and the danger give way to a new destiny.

Book cover of Floppy Feathers by John LaCasse

Memoir

Floppy Feathers

by John LaCasse · first published

In the second book of the series, LaCasse moves from the glamour of wealth into the fourth dimension — maybe the fifth — where space and time are warped by the gravity of mass. He takes a Trinity of women into the adventure of all time, transcending everyday life through striking encounters with angels and demons. With the power of the Seraphim and an audience with Saint Thomas Aquinas in Paris, Jacqueline Way, Kelly Marie, and Princess Merrilee of Solana step into the white light of time — and your understanding of sacred history changes forever.

Memoir

The Hunters

by John LaCasse · first published

In the third book of the series, three women set out into space time on the hunt for the highest order of the universe. Two are from Earth — Phoenix, Arizona, and Vancouver, British Columbia. The third is Princess Merrilee of Solana, a Starseed from NGC234 and M31, millions of light years away, and a hyperpower the likes of which has never been seen. Their story is both Biblical and Shakespearean — an intellectually thrilling ride through skepticism and belief. Winner of the 2025 59th Street Medal. Kirkus Review: "Get it."

Book cover of Fight for the Quantum by John LaCasse

Science / Spirituality

Fight for the Quantum

by John LaCasse · first published

A provocative and playful exploration of the philosophical battleground where science and spirituality collide. Rather than offering definitive answers, LaCasse invites readers into a lively polemic that dances through the "hard problem" of consciousness — drawing on thinkers from Richard Dawkins and David Berlinski to Deepak Chopra, Rupert Sheldrake, and the Dalai Lama. Less a manifesto than a mirror, it is a quantum romp through the unknown for the curious, the skeptical, and the seekers.

Book cover of Midnight Visitor by John LaCasse

Metaphysical Memoir

Midnight Visitor

by John LaCasse · first published

Step inside a million-year vantage point. Midnight Visitor is John LaCasse's moving memoir of a battle-scarred, six-pound black cat named Silas Nightwind who completely rewrote the rules of his life. A deeply personal story of loyalty, love, and loss, it explores the porous boundary where deep trauma heals and connection becomes cosmic — a five-ounce cinnamon roll of fur teaching profound lessons about trust, mercy, and presence.

The Game: Winning by Virtue One Move at a Time

by Her Royal Majesty Princess Merrilee of Solana · first published

A model for love the way Jesus intended. The Game approaches human relationships through the disciplined frame of a game: logic, self-awareness, and the cardinal virtues as its rules of play. Interpersonal life is presented as a series of deliberate choices — each requiring awareness, thoughtful judgment, and an understanding of human behavior — through which readers come to see how their actions shape both their own lives and the lives of those around them. Where relationships are complicated by competing interests, misunderstanding, and differing expectations, the book calls its reader back to enduring principles, joining self-knowledge with the practical realities of human interaction: greater clarity, intention, and understanding in every connection. Winner of nine literary awards — including How-To, Human Relations, Love & Marriage, Leadership, Spirituality, and Religion — and an Author of the Year finalist.
