Stories that began in my imagination and some that sprang into my head from the headlines.
A novel of scandal, love, and death in the Congo
International TV correspondent
Valerie Grey risks her life—and her love—to expose a diamond smuggling scheme
involving a celebrity televangelist, an African dictator, and possibly the
White House.
Valerie uncovers the scandal while
covering U.S. intervention in the war-torn Congo, where life itself is brutal
and the censuring eyes of civilization have long been blinded. She follows a
trail that leads her from New York, Atlanta, and Washington to Kinshasa,
Brazzaville, and the remote village of Mai-Munene while the three powerful men
ruthlessly try to silence her.
A doggone Christmas story
Join hapless Dan McCoy as he learns to live with a puppy he didn’t want in the first place--Elf, of course--a rascally Silky Terrier with the heart of Rin-Tin-Tin and the table manners of Grendel’s mother.
Elf leads Dan, his long-suffering wife June, and a cast of wacky neighbors, goofy relatives, and nefarious dog nappers on a merry chase through the New York suburbs of Westchester and beyond.
And other stories light and dark
Fifteen stories in various genres--and some not so easily categorized--make up this collection of short fiction exploring the light and dark sides of the human condition.
Included are stories of horror and suspense, a little sci-fi, a coming-of-age tale or two, and several works that look God in the face and ask “WHY?”
