The Author and The Books





ABOUT THE AUTHOR





I am 'LightHouse Dann Verner'.







I am 'Dann', just as I am.
And so it is that I am ……..


So, come, “Walk With Dann.”


A man who some say has lived many tragic lives.
The first decade of my life I had lived in thirty-two homes.
I started my 'Walks' at the age of ten.
I left Father's house at the age of twelve to join a hippie commune and learned how to be a Heroin addict.
Foster care, jails, pain, sorrow and addiction were my childhood friends.
My playgrounds were the streets.
My rocking horse a Harley Davidson.
I was rescued from certain death via an arrest.
Next was real life recovery. 'Cold turkey' style in Dorchester Federal Penitentiary.
Where, after many years, I finally found “ME”.
I still have demons but I have learned to live with them.


I started blogging in 2002. It was a release from the demons within.
The blogging led to my becoming an author.


The author led to my wanting the world to know who I was and who I achieve to become.
If my story changes but one life, then I have succeeded.


I write my books for me and my inner persona's.




For the reader,
I tell my stories.

“Damaged” is my first book.
Like me, it is raw and full of mistakes.
I have left it “unedited” as life has left me.










“DAMAGED”
They're complicated, the thoughts in my head.
Confusion is easily acquired when you are 'Damaged".
I am 'Damaged'.
As the following "Walks With Dann" shall reveal.
Take heart in my words.
Absorb knowledge from my mistakes.





‘BANE’, Walks you through my middle years and three decades of marriage.
It does not contain the excitement of it’s predecessor.
It begins to show you who I was and who I was becoming.




“BOON” Walks you deep into my personal life of trials and tribulations and my uniquely twisted none the norm perception of my realty.






A fictionl journey of a hippie on a Harley exploring the times.


“THE LAST CANADIAN COSMONAUT”


The smell of the ocean danced on my nostrils as I walked, slipping and sliding, across the flats. My eyes darting to and fro, carefully scanning ahead for sink holes.
I should have been walking the other direction. Towards the junior high school. Towards hippie teachers trying to teach me of science, faith and nature.
I could hear the train in the distance. Pulling it’s tonnage of sugar cane around the bend to the refinery.
The tug boats crested the horizon. Their wake spewing behind them as they pushed against the mighty tanker so as to slow it’s unforgiving momentum. Lest it run ashore.
The shore. My foster home was there. High up the hill. It’s windows like two large eyes, taunting me with guilt.“Go to school“, they seemed to say.
“I can’t“, my reply.








The first volume of the

“Walking On Dawes Collection”





“I WANT TO BE 'FLOKI'”



"This is a tale of a family who live their lives within the gang life. Except Little Ray. He and his family want him to break the cycle and live a normal life.”


There is tragedy, laughter and most of all 'insight' within.


So come with us as we


“Walk On Dawes."

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day “  living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry. Only to have Alberta Social Services rudely tell him and his wife to “Go home”. By any way they could. But, a big “but”….. Adding

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

  Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel)  to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas)  to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
