Gino, born on a tiny farm near Florence, Italy, grows into young manhood with the build of a tall, powerful athlete, the chiseled face of a movie idol and the graceful, sensual hands of a Michelangelo. He rises from painting at a tiny monastery to assisting modern masters restore great frescos and create new murals, to eminence as a world renowned painter in Paris, acclaimed such artists as Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso, Jean Paul Sartre and Andre Malraux.  Throughout his life, Gino is dogged by the dark and devious Pietro Scegli, a brutal, vicious man who carries terrible secrets and bears a mysterious and dangerous relationship to Gino, his beautiful and vulnerable sister, Maria, and his murdered, Fascist father. Pietro's jealousy and hatred are threats to Gino's very existence. But Gino is never far from romance; his sensational artistic talent is matched only by his powerful appeal to women. His affairs range from a lyrical romp with beauteous Giulia, daughter of the Florentine industrial potentate who has unknowingly financed his work, to a tempestuous, yet profound, romance with the fabulously wealthy and elegant Ariane, Comtesse de Villon, to overwhelming, redeeming passion with lovely, young Monique who turns his life from sterile desperation to a dazzling rebirth of hope and talent.  At last, Gino must face long hidden and life threatening truths. Will he triumph over scandal, hatred and evil, or be vanquished by the ominous forces that have shadowed his life?

Teen & Young Adult

A thrilling new account of the life of Jesus (Joshua) of Nazareth, presented as an historical novel, based on extensive research and a profound understanding of the gospels and centuries of relevant literature. Did Jesus believe he was the Son of God? Of course, every Jewish male believed he was the son of God. Did Jesus consider himself to be divine? A very different question and one The Murdered Messiah seeks to answer. Did Jesus think he was the Messiah? Yes. Must the Messiah be a king? A warrior? A priest? A prophet? All of the above? Who did Jesus believe himself to be and how did he conceive his earthly mission? Why would a man whose entry into Jerusalem at Passover was a triumph, be suddenly and mysteriously murdered by the Romans? The gospels tell us nothing from the time Jesus spoke to the rabbis in the Temple when he was 12 until he began his ministry 18 years later. Some speculate that he traveled to Egypt, to Mesopotamia, even to India. Nonsense; Joshua never left Israel except to travel briefly to Tyre and Sidon and lands east of the Jordan. There is nothing in Christian scripture about his personal life. A young Jewish male of that era would almost certainly have married . Did Joshua? If so, what happened to his wife—to his children, if he had any? If he was the Messiah, how could be viciously murdered? Theologians have devised an explanation for the inexplicable: He died for our sins. Why is God so cruel that he demands this act of redemption? The Jewish people were the only true monotheists on the planet. Hundreds of thousands of Jews had congregated in Jerusalem to celebrate Passover, the feast of liberation. But if they were not miserable sinners, what was the reason for Joshua’s terrible sacrifice? Has he traveled throughout Israel, preaching the law and the love of God only to fall prey to the machinations of Pontius Pilate, one of the cruelest men in a very cruel empire? The Murdered Messiah this unravels these riddles and reveals the true nature of this remarkable man, with reverence for his extraordinary sacrifice and his passionate love for God.
