Football for the Utterly Confused

About the Book: Meet Max Steele, FBI. His mission is to break the back of the mob's Northeastern cocaine industry and avenge his partner's execution. Little did he know he would be embroiled in a seminary where both high level administrators and students were smuggling, using and dealing crack. Nor did he expect the sex and violence he found within its hallowed walls. And he certainly never thought he would fall in love. This novel is the first of many Max Steele thrillers. You won't want to put it down. About the Author: The author was a third of the way into this novel when it took on a life of its own. From that point on, the novel wrote itself with the author acting as a mere scribe. The book’s sexy, raunchy, violent characters should not be construed as sub personalities of the author. In fact, the author was shocked and scandalized by what he was forced to put on paper. I mean really, the guy wears bow ties! Bob O’Connor holds advanced degrees from Oxford University in England, Yale University, and Pepperdine University School of Law. He is founder of the Institute for Conflict Resolution. He has authored a book and has written several academic articles on the subject of mediation. If his latest steamy romance scene is not using him to write itself, you can find him cooking in the kitchen, singing with a chorus, or somewhere in the great outdoors changing camera lenses.

“The Murphy Farm, A Refuge from Racism” covers the history of one of the most significant pieces of real estate in Civil Rights history. The magnetic charm of the property comes from the relocation of the John Brown fort on the property for 15 years. This led to pilgrimages from blacks from all over the country to a place once called “an island of racial tranquility in a sea of violence and animosity”. To the black population, this place was “hallowed ground”. It still is even today.
