Synopsis

Nothing can prepare you for the secrets of The Villagers.
 
Olive and Geoffrey are happier than ever. After moving to the countryside to bring up their three young children, they are welcomed with open arms by the friendly residents of the chocolate box village.
 
But beyond the veil of rhododendrons and net curtains, there is something more. Just as Olive is settling in and starting to integrate with the community, she finds out that all is not as it first seemed.
 
As her discoveries become more and more sinister, Olive begins to fear for her own sanity, and has to make choices that will decide the fate of her family.
 
The Villagers paints an intriguing picture of a 1950s English country village, where not everyone is who they first appear to be.

    Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans. 
    How much trouble can you possibly get into just stopping to use a restroom? 
    As it turns out, an awful lot. Bunny and co are supposed to be keeping a low profile, but nature calls and ironically, one of their party has a hard and fast rule about not answering that call while surrounded by nature. This is how they end up in the wrong bar, surrounded by the wrong people at the wrongest of wrong times. The local right-wing militia has a big week planned, and Bunny and the boys have inadvertently crashed the party. Before they know it, they’re in a desperate fight for survival against a bunch of people who refuse to believe they’re not who they think they are. 
    Meanwhile, the Sisters of the Saint have more than enough troubles of their own. A certain cartel is very angry at them and is pulling out all the stops to make their point. It all adds up to one hell of a tricky few days. But then, as a great man once said: life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

He deftly combines a finely honed comic sensibility with pulse-pounding action which have made his books Amazon bestsellers the world over.

    Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor’s life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers. 
     
    After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I’m in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn’t sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best. 
     
    The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve’s time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done. 
     
    A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark’s multitasking adventures of filling his mother’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.

    An island off the coast of Maine in the late 1940s 
    For Liam Dwyer, collegian and would-be poet (or at least really deep intellectual thinker), the Forsythe’s summer-long house party had charming possibilities.  At its best it might turn out as a simple little love story, with himself and the enchanting Laura as principals.  Only, nothing was ever simple with Laura. Nothing. And when he was near her, his own actions and reactions were sometimes a surprise as well:  
    He could feel Laura’s warmth through her thin dress, pressing against his side as they sat together on the pier. 
    “I . . .” he said. 
    She turned to him, batting her lashes. “Yes, Liam?” 
    Liam was beginning to sweat along the top of the lip.  He looked into Laura’s blue eyes.  And then it hit him, all of a sudden.  It hit him like a ton of bricks.  It was almost impossible to believe but it was true: Under her clothing, Laura was was wearing absolutely nothing — she was totally nude.   Nude!   He was sitting only a few inches away from a lovely nude girl.   
    “Grk,”  he said.
