Irma - Memoirs of a Vampire Gone Dry is a novel, genre literary humor. The novel opens in the Carpathians as Lena Vampire of the Realm does crochet work for the church but never attends. In 1922, Majda, Irma's grandmother, simply tells the American doctor that she is Jewish since she isn't wearing a cross. And in 1980, Anna Lebowswitz explains the importance of family and the use of a tooth file. Ben, Irma's father, believes in choosing your own life - a minority opinion. 
The first true vampire in four generations, Irma finds the idea acceptable and the details disgraceful. She will 'go dry'! After Irma chips a tooth - unimaginable considering her family - she meets John Ling at the dentist's office. Irma loves John's open mind, his perfectly shaped ear and his dog George; she makes the necessary decisions.

Simon St. Scot, is an international automotive journalist and magazine editor known for his scrupulously honest new car reviews and entertaining automotive feature stories. His world is filled with luxury, largely provided by the world's car companies using exotic locales, the finest hotels, gourmet food and vintage wines to attract St. Scot and his colleagues to new car introductions. 
St. Scot lives in the upstairs of a refurbished, old firehouse. Downstairs stands his collection of cherished cars from an earlier era that he tinkers with in his spare time. Writing about new cars, living with old ones... it's the perfect life for a car guy. A perfect life until his world comes crashing down. Someone is claiming that St. Scot is dirty, that he has sold out to the "dark side" and his opinions are for sale. When a colleague is found dead, he soon finds himself at the center of a plot to counterfeit the world's greatest sports cars and to control a worldwide publishing empire - no matter what the cost. His only hope for salvation lies in setting aside his knife and fork long enough to negotiate international intrigue, corporate greed, carnal temptation, and ultimately murder and mayhem.

Born on the first day of the Great Depression, Randy Davies  absorbs the values of small-town Texas life in a time and place when the  willingness to do hard and unpleasant work is a measure of a man's worth.  Later, those values fight for dominance when he is tempted to pursue a  chancy life as an opera and concert singer and to marry a delightful but  childlike girl whom he meets while studying voice in Bavaria. Another  aspect of his inner conflict is his guilty love of the Rocky Mountains as  compared to the flat and dutiful plains of the Texas Panhandle--a conflict  that is heightened for him by memories of a night during his childhood when  a neighbor showed his own love for the mountains by committing a murder.  Black Tuesday's Child, being about Randy's struggles with his  impulses, is also about music, the land, the changing times, and the love  of two remarkable young women.

On August 25, 1967, George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party, lay murdered in a parking lot in Arlington, Virginia. Three decades would pass before the story of Rockwell's life and that fateful day was told. In this vivid, thoroughly researched biography, William Schmaltz interviewed former members, requested 15,000 pages of documents from the FBI, and dozens of audio tapes, to piece together the history and inner-workings of Rockwell's American Nazi Party. From their Headquarters in Virginia, Rockwell sent his Stormtroopers into Washington for picketing, demonstrations, and agitation against Civil Rights leaders, Jews, Blacks, homosexuals, and Communists. His goal was to capitalize on the decaying social order in hopes of gaining political power in the same manner as his hero, Adolf Hitler. Along the way, he invented Holocaust Denial, forged alliances with Black Muslims, ran for Governor of Virginia, and became the hottest ticket on the college speaking tour.
