This is a contemporary psychological thriller about dark obsessions, and the fathers who pass them to their sons. Rife with international glamour, romance and intrigue, the story captures four patriarchal families in a generational conflict where the pursuit of global power at any price makes them the unwitting pawns of a hidden psychotic mastermind. Here is a contest to the death between two men, both driven by obsessive love: one for a woman; one, for power. One man is scarred by fire; one, by insanity. From the banks of the Potomac River to the cliffs above the Baltic Sea, these men fight each other with such ferocity that one endangers the woman he adores, and the other betrays the country he has sworn to protect. Edward Morningstar is the child of a cruel father, captivated by his Oedipal yearnings for his mentally fragile mother, who rises above his tortured beginnings to become a high-ranking Pentagon official. He dreams of winning his father’s respect by restoring America to her former glory in a political coup that will bring him global power. Delusional that he is the God-guided Jacob of old, Morningstar seeks men of extraordinary gifts to serve as his heirs. As Joseph, the favorite of his twelve “sons,” he chooses Martin Henderson, a wealthy insurance magnate and Latvian Freedom Fighter. Mirroring the tragedy of the murdered, the reader will struggle to discern the fine line between victim and predator. The Sons Of Jacob is the first book in a series of twelve edge-of-the-seat novels.

Mystery

This one-man two-act play premiered, after several delays, in Key West, Florida, in 2009. It examines another phase in the life of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway. From the joys of absinthe to the appeal of Ava Gardner, Ernest Hemingway turns to the exotic temptations of China and his third wife, Martha Gellhorn. Back in Cuba, he chases U-boats and tracks Nazi spies as a prelude to the European war and flying missions with the Royal Air Force. Whether commanding French freedom fighters or liberating the Ritz Hotel in Paris, Ernest manages to encounter Sylvia Beach, Marlene Dietrich, Pablo Picasso and Mary Welsh (later to become his fourth wife). While serving in "the death factory" that is World War Two, his emotional resources are strained when his first born son is taken prisoner by the Nazis.

John Holt tells us, "It's now been more than fifty years that I've been fishing, and roaming and loving Montana and the rest of the northern high plains. Lines on maps don't mean a damn thing to good country or to me. Montana flows into Alberta and British Columbia and Wyoming. The western Dakotas are the same place as Eastern Montana only with different names. Land is connected, not defined by human limitations. I first thought of writing and compiling this book while working a stream that wound through a brushy, tall-grass valley at the base of the Pryor Mountains last summer. Wild rainbows fought for the chance to engulf the Elk Hair caddis I was using. Beautiful healthy, small, colorful fish. Early afternoon was now sunset, the hours passing in an instant. And this made me remember the first trip to Montana in the sixties and the intervening hundreds of thousands (come to think of it. maybe more than a million) of miles I've wandered checking good, bad and indifferent water hanging out in serene isolation all over the place during the past half century. That time also passing in an instant that also at times seemed eternal." Edward Squires (Not Quite Novellas) calls it, "The best book about fly fishing since A River Runs Through It. Makes me dream of rainbow trout and cold streams and remote wilderness landscapes ..."
