At first glance Wizard Chase seems to be a juvenile fantasy in the Harry Potter vein where everything that's interesting happens by magic. But the more its hero learns the more he begins to suspect something else is going on here.

Science Fiction & Fantasy

After a nightmare wedding reception and a honeymoon trip with friends instead of a husband, Nikki Holloway would rather have a root canal than a date. Jack Buchanan's bold attempts to win her over are hampered by a secret that could destroy his hope for a relationship. Buffalo Winged is a multi-generational romantic story set in Buffalo, New York, a quirky city known for the pluckiness of its residents, the friendliness of its neighborhoods and the idiosyncrasies of its weather. The characters will stick to your ribs -- they reflect the down-to-earth qualities Buffalo's natives take for granted. They are the heart and soul of a city that never gives up, no matter what the odds.The themes of love and loss, betrayal and forgiveness are echoed in their parents' generation as former friends question whether some fences are better left un-mended. Whether standing up to a co-worker while wielding office supplies as a weapon, or fending off the attentions of an unwanted suitor using only her wits, Nikki tries to regain her emotional balance.

Historical Fiction

Now & Again is a challenge for those who must classify books. Even a single sentence could be defined as poetry, fiction, myth or essay: "Here we meet Ever who is always true, whose words give shape to the physics of sound, whose sight is the constant of light, whose touch defines the invisible lines on the one face of gravity, momentum, inertia and space." Samuel Beast, himself, exists just as a character in Now & Again, but he's the character who's supposed to be writing the book. In the short story, A Cameo Appearance by Sentience, Beast encounters a being who calls herself Sentience or sometimes Prank. He asks if she is "just an illusion, something I'm making up at this very moment?" She replies, "On the contrary, it's taken me since the beginning of time to manifest you so that you could be mine. I've grown your bones out of stones, nerves out of cob-webs, muscles and tendons out of stalks in fields and your skin from the petals of wildflowers."

Based on real incidents, this is a quintessential Vietnam war novel about the role Army Ranger units played conducting raids by small teams on the ground and directed and supported by their officers in the air. This book tracks the experiences of a young West Point graduate who volunteers for a Ranger unit in-country, learns his trade, takes care of his men, accomplishes his missions, and deals with a macho posturing, cowardly martinet of a company commander. The young officer’s thoughts and emotions while coping with these challenges and his longings for the young wife left behind in the States are aptly represented. 
The author presents a setting in which the reader can easily experience the jungle, understand the challenges of accurate map reading over a sea of green jungle canopy, while directing troops on the ground, calling in artillery strikes, and air-to-ground fire support.
