A contemporary thriller. When a large, unexploded bomb shows up at the IMF in Washington, DC, three blocks from the White House, a search for the terrorists begins. Caught up in the frenzy, a new artificial-intelligence company in Charlotte, NC, becomes a battleground for a man’s search for personal forgiveness. American Heat is a contemporary story about a man who has to deal with a past promise made to his murdered sister and with a present threat to national security that involves his company’s supercomputers. The stakes are high both for the protagonist and for the world itself. It is part urban noir, part American road trip, and part psychological and technological thriller. The Dungeon Below Bling- Bling High
A reclusive young man at Bling-Bling High takes action to re-invigorate real learning at a time when slogans like Excellence and High Standards mean nothing to the students, who must invent their own winning standards while trying to avoid being transported for unknown reasons to a mysterious and dreaded dungeon under the school. Scheme-of-the-Month Club
When a group of over-the-hill schemers are working on at least a scheme a month, one of them has to work. Right? A comic caper in a world of entrepreneurs turned upside down. Book of the Romes
This novel is a prequel to the Blessing series when an ancestor discovers a living metal, called "Romes" after its discoverer, that can destroy the world, and the generations of the Blessing family try to stop what nevertheless leads to the "Falling" in The Blessing Papers. The Blessing Papers
Praised by Andre Norton, among others, as an "excellent combination of science fiction and fantasy," the well-received Blessing novels concern a post-apocalyptic future set in a fictitious Ireland (Imram), in which the ability to read and write has been almost lost and strange religions reign. The action and adventure of the four novels dramatize through many twists and turns the rediscovery through the Blessing family of an almost forgotten past as portrayed in the final recovery of the hidden Blessing Papers themselves. Imram
Turly Vail/Blessing discovers that beneath the scientific wisdom of the Blessing Papers lies a catastrophic evil only he understands. How will he be able to safely unlock the precious secret of the Blessing Papers, the sacred prophecies that can bring salvation or doom to Imram? The Sigma Curve
Turly Blessing makes his way through arid valleys and the Lower Mountains, and one man's courage becomes the final test for the future of all things in the rise and fall of the Sigma curve. Writer Works
