In Washington the two party system lies in shambles and the nation's first Third Party President is about to kick-off his re-election campaign. But his untimely, mysterious death leaves the country's fate in the hands of his charismatic but inexperienced Vice-President, Carol Gray - the perfect pretext for Chinese Defense Minister Mai Bei's bold stratagem to make his country energy self-sufficient and wrest hegemony in the Pacific from the US. Madame President is the story of Gray's battle against an international plot whose tentacles span two continents and reach deep into the heart of Congress and the Cabinet. For Mai Bei aims for nothing less than co-opting the American government itself and installing his puppet in the White House. Assassination, murder, seduction, betrayal, blackmail - her enemies will stop at nothing. Against them stand Gray's own personal courage and the cunning of her advisors who must expose their enemies before being destroyed by them. Beneath the roar of the political machine lies the story of how men and women retain or lose their humanity in the brutal arena of power. Madame President captures the personal struggles of one extraordinary woman and the man she comes to love in this true to life account of what could easily be tomorrow's reality.

Nothing bad ever happens in Fairhaven, Ohio. Not since the mysterious murder of little Samantha Baxter twenty-five years ago. Until, on a sultry July morning, a young Air Force officer, Sally Jastrow, dies in a secret experiment at the University. 
Sheriff Alan Schneider and Air Force fighter pilot Toni Ashcroft team up to investigate the strange death which they suspect was not an accident. Soon, they discover some highly unusual facts about the scientific experiment: five young, ambitious, and extremely bright women are locked up in giant water-filled egg shells, sharing and exposing their most intimate thoughts and dreams through a top secret laboratory computer system. 
The two investigators face steep challenges in their quest to solve the mystery. Not only do they have to delve deep into Fairhaven's secrets, they must also deal with the ghosts of their own personal past, including Toni's memory loss after a terrible plane crash in the Iraqi desert only six months ago. Almost magnetically attracted to one another, Alan and Toni know that peace will not return to Fairhaven unless they are willing to risk their own lives, and their own happiness.

A child of poverty and prejudice, Khaled Nour El Din envisions an Egypt cleansed, by blood if necessary, of all foreigners and infidels. What turns a compassionate charismatic leader into a ruthless terrorist? And what would attract a woman from the upper class to join his holy crusade?

Voyage to Olympus

A modern cynic has discovered what he believes to be a fatal flaw in society's judicial system. In a state of despair he calls upon an ancient god to send him someone who can dispel this terrible apprehension and thus restore his former serenity. The god sends the long-dead Greek progenitor of all lawyers, Protagoras. The two meet by a duck pond.    In a fascinating dialogue, the cynic leads Protagoras and the chorus of ducks through the maze of evidence that has destroyed his peace of mind, meanwhile calling on the legendary Greek to refute his argument. His case proves to be a tough nut to crack - the cynic has gathered his evidence by carefully studying the laws and languages of all major cultures since ancient Egypt.    Delightfully written, the dialogue is part satire, part philosophy. Most of all, however, it is a down-to-earth analysis of what makes or breaks any society - the specific gravity of the law. The author has used a unique method. He has examined the popular metaphors of today's language as a doctor would examine a man's urine. The result is this disturbing question: Do we really know what we are talking about?

When retired cop Evan Fuller moves from California to remote New England where he plans to write a bestselling novel, he finds himself jolted into a serial rape and murder case. Although he tries to convince himself that he does not have the stomach for playing police detective all over again, Evan Fuller soon becomes the criminals' chief hunter. The disappearance of one attractive young woman soon leads him to suspect a group of smalltown friends, all respectable citizens, who seem to have been systematically abducting, abusing and murdering women during annual lakeside rituals for more than a decade. At first, Fuller looks at the facts through the eyes of the pro policeman that has become his alter-ego. But those very same facts suddenly become highly personal when it dawns on him that the rapists are after his own girlfriend Jenny. Set against the backdrop of Robert Frost's glorious White Mountains, Parson's Lake is written with an expert understanding of the disgusted determination that possesses a seasoned cop's mind when he finds himself confronted with the threat of thickening violence.
