  Out of the Frying pan is an exceedingly dark comedy that follows the story of Luther LaMotta and Martini Conti as they escape the death and dismemberment they have left behind in New York. Driving a brand new, stolen Lincoln Town Car the only plan they have is to lay low and try to out wit the gangsters that have been sent to kill them. Over the course of their exodus from danger they pick up a cavalcade of people. Some will become new friends, some lovers, and others maniacal hunters desperate for vengeance. This thrill ride will leave you spent and exhausted from the action, with your face hurting from laughing. Just like in it's prediseser, Luther, there's plenty of death murder and mayhem. But, hey, in THIS book I don't tie anyone to a chair and set them on fire burning down an entire strip club--but you'll wish I had. Double plus, you might laugh pee your pants, just a little.

  "The perfect substitute for that good-time trip to California you've decided not to take after all." —Kirkus Reviews 
   
   
   
  A new breed of brazen criminal forces Buddy Steel into unfamiliar territory. Will he outsmart the ingenious thieves before they get the best of him? 
   
   
   
  Buddy Steel, acting Sheriff of Freedom, California, is enjoying some well-deserved R&R at a friend's mountain hideaway when he's called home to investigate a home invasion—at his father's address. The break-in is just one in a series, perpetrated by ingeniously inventive burglars. To complicate matters, Buddy must also investigate a spate of cyber crimes targeting local businesses and individuals—an area well outside of his experience and comfort zone. 
   
   
   
  Already on the trail of the cybercriminals is LAPD Gang Enforcement's foremost computer geek, Detective Quinn Anthony. Buddy teams up with the unconventional—and much younger—brainiac to trace the convoluted trail of the hackers. From the adjunct of a vicious LA-based cartel to outside of US borders, Buddy and Quinn race to take down the hackers and recover the spoils. The closer they get, the more danger they face; and the more danger they face, the closer they become . . .

  Stronger Than Fear

  Richard Tregaskis considered Stronger Than Fear to be the most important book he ever wrote about World War II because it strikes closer to the heart of war. It stands well after the years because it hits into the basic human values involved in war, aside from politics or patriotism. This is RT’s greatest war novel told in less than 30,000 words. The only immortality, the lasting things about this life, were honor, decency, courage, the intangibles of the spirit. Moments of such are the only permanent things in the transient world of war and the man who rose to them were the only ones who really lived. 
  World War II street fighting in Germany reminded Richard Tregaskis of the jungle campaigning he had seen on Guadalcanal and other South Pacific islands. The enemy fought hard in his home ground. Everything was close in, the rows of houses were like trees and street-corners were like thickets, and every house was a potential sniper’s nest. As RT accompanied the platoon of ten men to which he was attached, he reflected on one central question: to a veteran, what does it mean when fighting becomes a way of life and peace is only a dream?
