My novels are in the genre of historical fiction encompassing stories set in past times as well as reimagined perspectives of life in modern day. Each novel has a distinct sub-genre ranging from romance to thrillers to religion and spirituality. Here is a brief summary of each:
“Star Cross Lovers” is the story of a forbidden romance of a couple thought to be enemies in World War II. Their bond transcended all the evil and oppression of the world to forge a love story for the ages. And it began with a kiss.
The novel “Satanwake” is a medical thriller set in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. It asks the question, what would you pay to live longer? A small pharma company has an innovation that can radically change human life. But they are out of money and running out of time to get it to market. A mysterious business tycoon appears and makes a deal. With no other options, the CEO makes the bargain and the company releases the product. And the world is forever changed.
“Songs of the Deliverer – A Modern Day Story of Christ” is a re-imagining of the story of Christ set in modern day. The Gospel of John ends with the verse: “Jesus did many other things. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” The “Songs of the Deliverer” is my contribution to fill the world with the good news of Christ. It is the first in a series on religion and spirituality.
“Songs of the Deliverer II – Faith Wins” is the story of the apostles who overcome torment and oppression to tell the world of the miracles Christ did and the promises he made. Their witness is our salvation. Without their courage, Christ would have been kept hidden. This is the second book of the series.
“Songs of the Deliverer III – Glory Born” tells the story of a grieving old man and an orphan girl who are called to witness the birth of a miracle child. As they strive to fulfill their mission they are confronted by evil and tyranny. Success means salvation but if they fail, the world may be lost forever. “Glory Born” is the third book of the series serving as a modern day retelling of the Christmas story of the birth of an infant in a manger.
In “Songs of the Deliverer IV – Resurrection of Freedom” a battle for freedom is waged on the streets of the country. In the midst of this revolution, young grade school students are thrust into the eye of the storm and come face to face with the tyrannical ruler who deprives them of their liberties. Ensnared in extraordinary circumstances not of their making, these students stake their futures with the rebellion sweeping the country. Trapped and on the verge of defeat, an unlikely hero emerges to lead the way out. His trading chip – an item of the forsaken Christ that could change everything. An offer is made to the despot who agrees to a deal: reveal the proof of the vanquished savior or the students will be incarcerated for the rest of their lives. With time running out, the ransom is paid. Will the promise be kept? “Resurrection of Freedom” is the last installment of the “Songs of the Deliverer” series and culminates in the birth of a new nation echoing the American Revolution of 1776.
“A Perfect War” is a novel set during the founding of the European Union that exposes the threats to America as a result of failed governmental policies, misguided political leaders, and unforeseen global attacks. “A Perfect War” shows that what made America great in the past, is what is needed to restore America to greatness once again: belief in the fundamental truths of liberty and freedom.
These novels are my testimony to the truth and the truth is this:
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. And I am a witness.
