Summary:Jeff is a sports-writer in his late twenties living in a town in Connecticut which seems to have been transported straight out of the fifties. The underlying prejudices and feelings of hostility towards the idea of "new things" and "new people" are engrained in his memory from boyhood. Yet as he matures as an adult he comes to see the evils inherent. This story is about two characters evolving into decent human beings, about the intrinsic differences between right and wrong, and the concept of loss. Intertwined is my attempt at satire. I hope you enjoy it.Chapters: |

Summary:PAUL WEEKES knows all about poverty, after a harsh childhood spent raising both himself and his younger cousin Mark, who refuses to grow up. He now runs a farm on the island of Xantrope, cultivating ground provisions and marijuana for export, because he refuses to risk a return to the poverty of his past. Things get complicated when the corrupt police officer who facilitates Paul decides he wants a bigger cut of the illicit business. Worse, Mark is involved in a murder and a hit-and-run accident involving the police officer’s niece. Paul has his hands full coping with danger from Mark’s associates, orchestrated attempts to hijack his goods, keeping himself alive and pursing a romantic interest. ******For want of somewhere else to put this, I've termed it Other. It can best be described as Romantic Suspense. Chapters: |

Summary: Most historians list Princess Noor Inayat Khan as one of the most intriguing heroines of the Twentieth Century and rank her up near the top along with Mata Hari. She was born inside the Kremlin during 1914 and evolved from infancy into an emotional, naive, careless and beautiful young woman ... hardly the attributes of a future spy.
This novel is based upon true events during the years 1914-1944. While being brought up in France, Princess Noor clandestinely falls in love with Paulo. He is torn from her arms after being drafted, during 1935, into the Italian army to fight in Ethiopia and she spends the next eight years trying to discover his whereabouts while he is constantly sent to other danger zones in North Africa, Spain and Russia.Chapters: |
