"Born to write, ranking beside any great author in the world today. A brilliant writer who will take you on a journey you will never forget...". Karen Chandler, Melbourne, Australia (Journalist) Recipient of the 2007 Victoria Award
“…Kennedy undoubtedly belongs to the poet clan…(he) is an artist in sentiment as in expression.” William Ruggles, Dallas Morning News
“Very deep…His words will one day soar beyond the stars. So, grab hold of his tail wings and enjoy the ride." Deborah Porter, USA (Poet)
“Excellent writing. Written by a true genius!” Lindy Clark, USA (Poet)
“…Meditations, or reflections, upon man’s nature and his relationship with God and the universe. (He) shows much technical skill and depth of thought in his always interesting themes…Readers will find the book challenging and interesting…A nice feeling for imagery and word usage adds to the appeal.” Margaret Casicey, The Fort Worth Press
“...Written by a person that sees what others do not.” Brillintsaphire, South Africa
“Richard (Kennedy) really is a great novelist, poet, philosopher and litterateur. I was astounded by his works. It absolutely amazed me, the depth of a journey a mind can proceed and still be a member of planet earth.” Vida Liera, USA

Newcomers as well as those who've been around MySpace for awhile will also be exposed to some interesting facts they probably didn't know. If you are a "Spacer" or thinking of becoming one, then this book is a must for you.

Download: $15.50 Hardcover Print: $31.95 A slightly different look at the world's largest social networking and fifth largest English-speaking portal, filled with literally hundreds of facetious annotations that will leave you snickering, if not rollicking. Seen through Kennedy's penetrating (often merciless) eye, this is a book that will show you another reality– the virtual and the absurd, as offered by the actual members themselves. Is this an exposé? Not quite. This is where you will find a rather large “sample” of those Spacers, who are so eager to find “Mr. Right,” fame and fortune, or just their fifteen minutes in the world’s limelight, exposing themselves, quite unlike you may have expected. Don’t credit the author(s); credit the members themselves for making it all possible...Newcomers, as well as those who've been around MySpace for awhile, will find this snippet of societal arrogance and self-centeredness simply irresistible.

Download: $3.95 This neat little package is but a "sample" of what the entire book, The DisGrace Of MySpace, will have in store for you. Why not check it out today and do yourself a favor? The wit is peerless, and the reviews are effusively glowing.

Its author obviously sees “things clearly ...and whole,” to quote E. M. Forster in Howard’s End, and he has also realized Forster’s admitted intention as voiced in the frontispiece of that novel: “To connect…” The poems on physical nature, fleshly and spiritual love, the creative act, and time, all echo Kennedy’s concern with the sanctity of the individual and the presence of the godhead in each and every one. The poet’s technical virtuosity adds further complexity and density to his profound ideas. He makes us see things not only clearly and whole, but differently than before, the mark of an artist of the first rank. PAPERBACK EDITION

Print: $21.95 Download: $15.50 The Encuentro isn’t just another novel. A fairy tale in novel form– told as a farce, presented like a play, and executed like a movie, it is indeed “novel” in every way. It is very much as advertised: “A Children’s Story For Adults” – very mature adults; it is also Kennedy as his innovated best– “pulling out all the stops,” and turning the medium right on it’s head to make a point, which is his vehicular and artistically stylized expression of his treatise- Psychophysics: The Point Of Everything. So, while the subject matter is bawdy, the humor outrageous and the wit nonpareil, it is, to be sure, a deeply profound exposition of the nature and meaning of life at the end of the day. It is, as he has stated, “probably (my) best symphony yet,” and destined to be an instant classic. Where else will you find a novel’s author portraying himself in his own book as a “movie director”? The Encuentro is a must read.

Print: $27.95 Download: $17.95 In his own provocative, inimitable style, Kennedy turns his attention to the convention of verse again for the first time in over three decades. Regarding no subject as inviolable, he offers up "Cogitations Of Different Kind" as he thoughtfully explores and expounds on the universal themes of life and love, God and religion and being "alive,” with particular emphasis on the notion of “sanity.” More often than not, he chooses to take the middle ground on certain subjects, preferring instead to make his reader “think” as opposed to alienate or antagonize. But this is not always the case; and where he takes a stand, there can be no doubt where his sentiments lie.
