With It is written from hard experience, neither memoir nor factual chronicle. I traveled with the carnival for over three years, with my then-husband and little girl. I've lifted the stories out of memory, put them on a time-line, highlighted the most colorful characters, and thrown in a murder loosely based on real events. Nearly everyone is fascinated by the possibilities inherent in the carnival subculture, and I was no exception. I learned the world - its language, its joys and its ugly secrets - and lived to tell the tale.

Ex-nun Hannah Jergen married the first man to look at her. Denny Lorenzo, an internationally-famous Jewish singer, is in a crumbling marriage to an overbearing publicity hound. Guilt-ridden flashbacks over a car accident that left his wife with amnesia are the only reasons he hasn't left her. Denny's performance schedule takes him to Boston, Hannah's hometown, and sparks fly. How can such opposites fall in love without changing the world, theirs and that of those around them? They can't. Unable to shed their miserable marriages, Hannah and Denny are equally unable to deny their growing attraction. Through undercover meetings facilitated by Hannah's faithful friend, Donna, their emotional attachment becomes dangerous after accidents and mysterious illnesses befall them. When a seriously-injured Hannah is kidnapped and held for a sick ransom, Denny's life for hers, worlds collide in a shocking confrontation. It all started during those weekends in New England. . . .

In 1965, in the chilliest part of the Cold War, Anders Desruisseaux is nearing the end of his career in the US military. His last stint has been with Army Intelligence, working as an agent handler in northern Germany, where he runs "agents" in and out of East Bloc countries. He sees his job description as: "Retired spy, much field experience, twenty years of lying, deceit, sedition. Plays well with others." At this point in his life and career, things should be getting simpler. But suddenly they're becoming much more complicated. Among his other problems: is one of his former sources out to kill him? This novel is fiction-based-on-fact. Many of the techniques and places described in the novel were and are true. The job was at times exciting, rarely glamorous, and sometimes just a rotten way to make a living.

Two years have passed since the great grassland war of the Waungee. Baron Oreus Blake and King Noran Yorokoh face one of their worst nightmares when those closest to them are taken prisoner by banished convicts into the dangerous and frigid ice lands of Arna. During their chase, they discover the precious and curative snowtears still exist and much more may be at stake for the kingdom than they at first realized. While away on their struggles to the far north, a deadly black fever is spreading throughout the territories and a devastating fire has scorched and killed three of the ancient, sequera tree homes, including the Yawranan prophets who resided within. General Rydor Regoria and Chief Braiy Decker are the best remaining hope to solve the two mysteries and the murderous plot trails left behind.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard your flight. As you step onto my aircraft, take a quick glance into the cockpit. Yep, that’s me sitting in the captains’ seat, and that’s my first officer laughing about how he accidentally locked himself out of his hotel room. Naked. Again. We’re both a little ripe from flying for the last five days, but we’re still smiling because we have spent years and thousands of hours training and living an uncommon lifestyle to be up here for you. For the next few hours, you have to turn your life over to us. It’s hard to trust others, and there are moments when you don’t have a choice about being in control. During those moments, you’ll just have to tighten your seatbelt and trust that others will get you through the storm. Our route today will take you through a segment of my life up in the air, and you will see things you could never imagine. Since I have been locked in the cockpit with men for several thousands of hours over the years, I have been given a perspective few get to experience. To help you see a different perspective, too, I am giving you a checklist to use as we move along our route. It will take you from gate to gate, and when we’re done, we will have both learned a little more about what it takes to fly. Nowjust sit back and relax. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.” Erika Armstrong has worked every aspect of aviation in her twenty-five years in the industry, including an international corporate airline captain.

It was summer, 1976, when a major psychotic episode ended Corey Doctoroff’s successful career and also wrecks his marriage. He accepts a job selling used cars “until something else comes along,” and becomes the unlikely denizen in a psychedelic world of rituals, easy money, fast women, Quaaludes, cocaine and Jamaican Gold. So begins Corey’s descent and sojourn, mired in a bizarre subculture to which few are privy. By day, he lives an eat-or-be-eaten life on the car lot. By night, his inner self ponders universal mysteries. Corey’s battle to reconstruct himself and reintegrate his two halves is a swirling landscape of extreme mood swings, youthful dalliances, venomous contempt for psychiatrists, a love affair with his social worker, his oddball buddies—Boychik, The Fish, Beach Ball, Half-Deal Harry, and Jaws—illuminating the metaphor for life that was found on stickers pasted to the windows of used cars: “Sold as is—with all faults—no warranty expressed or implied.”
