The
Third
Revolution follows popular, plain-talking Montana Governor
Benjamin Kane as he walks a harrowing tightrope between his
conscience and the law. When Washington attempts to
federalize major state functions, a group of young,
reactionary lawmakers get elected to the state government
and do political battle with the overreaching federal
administration. Ben and his close-knit group of political
cohorts risk all as they attempt to rein in the radical
legislature, hold the federal government at bay, and
maintain the sovereignty of their state.
Governor
Kane
is forced to choose between the country he loves ... and his
commitment to the founding principles of the country he
loves.

It's been five years since
Montana Governor Ben Kane led his state to an epic standoff
with the federal government. Now retired from politics, he's
kicking back and enjoying life, running his popular Helena
brewpub and watching the buffalo renew the prairie.
Then
he
accepts a generous offer from a glittering, high-profile
resort, where exotic drugs and legal sex-for-hire lure
visitors and keep the corporate profits rolling in.
Everything's hugely successful until Ben starts
wondering where all the money's going. His investigation
soon draws him to Washington, where he lands in the middle
of a bitter Presidential campaign.
Once again, Ben Kane finds himself reshaping the nation's political landscape... |

Jennifer
Goodwyn, a Cornell University graduate student,
inadvertently returns home to sleepy Ithaca, N.Y. from
an archaeological dig at the Cenacle, the purported
site of the Last Supper, with an ancient bone box. The
ossuary is found to contain several pieces of early
first century stoneware, and a mysterious, tiny
scroll. When the Aramaic glyphs on the slip of
crumbling papyrus are translated, they identify the
humble dinner setting as the one used by a
rabblerousing Nazarene rabbi at his Seder meal, on the
evening he'd been arrested by the Romans.
One ill-considered impulse - asking a local parish priest to say Mass with the ceremonial Seder cup - sweeps Jennifer away to churches, cathedrals, sports stadiums, and to a powerful Cardinal's basilica to celebrate Mass with the vessel and to exhibit it before ever-growing crowds of believers. But
soon,
all hell breaks loose. While the State
Department is aggressively seeking its return to
Israel, a nationwide political movement starts
rising up around the relic. And Jennifer soon
discovers that the storied artifact is causing
sickness and even death among those who remain
too long in its presence. In an effort to stem
the political mayhem and insure the safety of
the faithful, Jennifer hits the road, trying to
stay one step ahead of the feds until she can
find a way to quell the growing public chaos
unleashed by the revelations of The
Cenacle
Scroll.

Set
in
the
near future, The
Last
Bartender follows Justin Gardiner, a highly-decorated
Operation Enduring Freedom veteran who returns home to work as
a bartender.
Just a few years into his new career, rising healthcare costs and other political factors lead to a new prohibition on alcohol: all bars are closed, retail alcohol sales are halted and criminalized, and Justin finds himself out of work. Soon afterwards, Justin and his barroom cohorts buy a rundown Catskill resort and set up an ambitious bootlegging operation, supplying potent keg beer to the New York City area. Events start rapidly spiraling out of control as the Drug Enforcement Agency closes its net and the mob aggressively moves in on the moneymaking operation, leaving Justin and his friends caught in the crossfire of the opposing forces.

Wildlife biologist Jackie Bannon may have found just the job to jump-start her stalled career. A potential client with seemingly bottomless pockets and plans for an unorthodox business venture has invited her to his private Caribbean island to discuss her coming on board. At first glance, the place seems a textbook tropical paradise: glistening white sand beaches, lush highland forests, every inch teeming with exotic flowers and wildlife. But a closer look reveals widespread abnormal behavior among the native animal species; behavior that Jackie recognized as deeply problematic. Despite her misgivings, she wasn't inclined to turn down a high-paying job on a luxurious private island, especially one that could remake her career, and she relished the independence she would be allowed. But with that independence would come responsibility, and she could already see that there was much more to this island than met the eye... Now Available as a Kindle E-Book! |
