Hot, spicy and layered with sexuality on all dimensions, Engaging Rachel is designed to make steam, and with each page turning adventure, you get it every time. From the moment Anderson engages Rachel, they become partners, lovers and accomplices as their adventures intersect the Mossad, Russian Intelligence, law enforcement, counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics operations. As they grow together, Anderson gets the impression that the tabula rasa he has engaged has a past that has been completely erased from the Net. In fact, his nemesis and boss, the Deputy Director of Operations, has planted her own counter-espionage agent in the lair of her prize rogue agent. Is this fact what ultimately determines whether the phenomenally effective team will thrive and continue, or crash and burn?

Baro Xaimos: A Novel of the Gypsy Holocaust follows the nearly miraculous survival path of a group of Roma, led by Tobor Mericano, through the Nazi years, including World War II. The novel opens in the 1930's on the eve of the formation of the Marzahn Camp. This camp was the prototype for a system of concentration camps designed to contain, oppress and ultimately kill all Roma within Nazi occupied Europe. The gypsies manage to escape the traps set by the German government to find a base of operations in the USSR. From there, gypsies are dispatched by Moscow Center to operate as intelligence gatherers and assassins against the Nazis. These brave souls achieve a semblance of normalcy while in a Russia full of intrigue, by marrying, having children and staying on the move. Baro Xaimos focuses on the love of Tobor Mericano for Drina Mettbach and on the exploits of Tobor's sister, Nadya Hanstein, a widowed fortune teller who encounters both Hitler and Stalin in her professional role and accidentally changes the course of history.

Baro Xaimos: A Novel of the Gypsy Holocaust

In these rollicking, madcap, often bloodthirsty pirate stories, Abe, the First Mate serving under Captain Morgan on the pirate ship Sweet Cutlass, tells his story of piracy on the high seas while sailing around the world in the waning years of the great age of sail.  After Abe earns his own command of the pirate ship Night Lightning, he works in tandem with his mentor and former captain as they successfully board, loot and scuttle merchantmen of all flags. The pirates maraud and pillage at will on a route that takes in San Juan, Hatteras, the Bermudas, Madagascar, Zanzibar, the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf, the Andaman Islands and Tierra del Fuego. They ruthlessly amass and bury a fortune in treasure, fight with other pirates, mutiny among themselves, carouse among landlubbers, deal with a treacherous sheik, free many slaves, make men walk the plank, and ship aboard beautiful, lively wenches. Between these covers are tales of singing pirates, lots of rum, a sea hag, an Amazonian pirate crew, gold and slave trafficking ships, a talking parrot, sea monsters and violent storms that open the gates to Davy Jones's Locker. E. W. Farnsworth rewrites legacy pirate lore by assuming pirates are cunning, often worldly wise and cultured in their own piratical ways. They are as brilliant and daring in battle as today's US Navy SEALs are-and as invincible.

To solve this case and exonerate his client, the Jack Daniels-loving gumshoe's investigation must balance relationships among his Pulitzer-Prize winning girlfriend/reporter, Sylvia Blackwood; his friends - Boston Homicide Officer, Nigel Pounce, and CIA Agent, Ken Salamander; and his client, as they become drawn into a deadly labyrinth designed by both sides of the conflict on the Korean peninsula. The plot finally focuses on a plethora of suspects at the deceased man's estate in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
