Sex and God at Yale - Porn, Political Correctness, and a Good Education Gone Bad

For the past seven years, FBI Agents Miguel Perez and Larry Jones have been unsuccessful in tracking down a vicious killer responsible for the deaths of over 600 victims found in motel rooms across the state of Texas.

Inspired by true events, "Harpier's Pawn " takes the reader down a twisted path of murder, loss, revenge, and betrayal as agent Miguel Perez falls into the clutches of the murderer, whose own fall from society is as heinous as the crimes he has committed.

The story takes a turn when young Miguel discovers that there is more to the cloaked man than meets the eye, a turn that will make him search his own soul and ask the question "Which is more important justice or revenge?"

The Memoirs of John F. Kennedy: A Novel brings to life the tantalizing possibilities of “what might have been” had JFK remained president after November 22, 1963. This book imagines an America where progressive leadership takes hold during the 1960s, where President Kennedy, after a grueling fight for his life in a Dallas hospital, survives his chest wounds and returns to the presidency. He is elected for a second term. He does not mount a ground war in Vietnam. Foreign relations with Cuba, the Soviet Union, South America, and our allies and adversaries around the world follow a very different path. 

This novel interweaves two story lines. One takes place in 1963 at Parkland Medical Center and follows Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover as they cope with the explosive events of the assassination attempt while the wounded president hovers near death. The other more lighthearted story line unfolds through the eyes of Patrick Hennessey, the memoirist appointed by JFK during the approaching end of his second term in 1968. Through in-depth talks at the White House, Camp David, Hyannisport, on Air Force One, and golfing on Kennedy’s private course at Glen Ora, Patrick gets to know the president as JFK reviews his decisions regarding the difficult path toward a peaceful resolution of world crises. 

This well-researched alternate history will strike a chord with readers worldwide—those fascinated with the Kennedy mystique and those interested in the potential for politics to be “done right” during challenging times. Considering the current period—and the 50th anniversary of JFK’s election—re-imagining a more positive past may enable us to collectively envision a more enlightened future.

"I am not moving to Iraq to teach."

How does a liberal American girl in red suede boots end up teaching English to conservative Muslim Iraqis in headscarves?

Gretchen Berg has met the recession: she has eaten cereal for dinner, given up the gym membership, and come face to face with looming unemployment. To cope, she decided to uproot her life and move to the Middle East. She expected to make some good money, pay off some bad debt, and take some photos of camels. She did not expect to feel at home. She did not expect to fall for a student. She did not expect Diet Coke withdrawal.

Irreverent, hilarious, and completely relevant, I Have Iraq in My Shoe takes a single, broke, fashion-conscious American female who prefers Project Runaway to CNN and tosses her into Iraq in exchange for cash and vacation time.
