  This book answers the question:  “Are we the only civilization in the universe who believes there is a God?” 
  In a few years, it could be the end of human beings on Earth. The warning signs are all around us today, but few of us have realized how our lives will be changing as we come closer and closer to the END! Some believe that God will save us.  Others have given up hope. 
  In Shockwave, time waves as conceived by the author and previously dismissed as theoretical abstraction— are starting to prove themselves by hitting the planet with more and more frequency and force.  Most readers will be amazed at the near future technology that is invented in this book by this author that may actually be accomplished in the coming years.  It's a great time to be alive, but it may be even greater in the not-so-far-off future. 
  With each shockwave of Time, events are altered and realities changed.  One reality brings the hero closer to the life he always dreamed about and the other reality brings him further away.  
  The ending is the biggest shock wave of all time because it puts humanity at the center of the universe and you don't want to miss it.

  After a long hiatus, Charity Styles is itching to get back into the fray. She’s had a succession of minor assignments, none of which provided her with the action she craves. 
  After months of recharging and rethinking her position in the Armstrong organization, she’s on the verge of walking away, returning to what could be a more normal life. But what’s a normal life look like for a former covert assassin? 
  Then she gets two assignments, which have nothing to do with each other. The first is to ferry a group of people out to a large mega-yacht. When it turns out that one of those people is the girl she thinks of as a niece and the mega-yacht is captained by an old friend, she sets her sails and is quickly underway. 
  What the second assignment is, will not only test Charity’s abilities as an undercover asset to the giant Armstrong Research conglomerate, but will also assess her ability to keep a lid on her emotions when faced with the type of people she most loathes. 
  From the Cayman Islands to the Eastern Caribbean, the coast of Brazil, and finally, the U.S. Virgin Islands, her mental state is constantly being tested. Will she find the one person who is at the head of a vast sex trafficking operation? Or will she become just another victim to the traffickers? Will she even be able to restrain her inner demons when she encounters the worst of the worst of human society?

  Played!

      Every law firm has its backroom bench of brilliant workaholic nerds ferocious in their commitment to the law and to their clients. Such a player is Milton Bernstein of Abbott & Windsor. He's highly valued by the partners for his skills, but untested in the courtroom. 
   
      Milton's younger brother, Hal, is his polar opposite-strikingly handsome, a high-school baseball legend in St. Louis who was on his way to the major leagues until he destroyed his prospects in a motorcycle accident. Hal had been, and still is, the adored Bernstein brother-worshipped by his mother, his aunts, and the rest of his family, plus all the high school and college cheerleaders. Milton has learned to live with his lower star-power while Hal unabashedly admires Milton's career and happy marriage. 
   
      Neither brilliant nor driven, Hal has to face up to earning a living. For now he's killing time as a lifeguard at an exclusive country club. His days at the pool are mostly filled with women, kids, and fantasies about the hot babe called Cherry. 
   
      But the lives of both brothers are about to change. Cherry, the bombshell third wife of St. Louis' most shark-like litigator, Leonard Pitt, unexpectedly turns Hal's advances around. They become lovers. Coincidentally, Milton becomes the attack dog behind litigation to nail Pitt for running an insurance scam on his injured clients. 
   
      Tangling with the Pitts is a game-changer for both brothers. Everyone is a tool of someone else. The players' roster widens to include a judge who's nursed a 30-year grudge against Pitt, the judge's astute clerk, and a crooked cop. Then Milton suddenly finds himself fielding Hal's arrest for kidnapping and murder. 
   
   Played! is fast-moving, fun and, at its core, a story of brotherly love and loyalty. And baseball.
