Sinossi

When a four-man team of Iranian terrorists surreptitiously enters the US, the desecrated body of a US Border Patrol Agent near the US/Mexico Border is a harbinger of future events. The team's goal to attack soft targets in the nation's capital and kill as many Americans as possible, to include the President, is thwarted by John Darque and the covert organization he heads. While investigating the incidents, Darque realized he was fighting two battles, one global and one personal, that were somehow conjoined. The inquiry into the team's exploits in the US indicated they were a ruse to cover a more sinister plot taking place in Iran to destabilize the world, and the effort was being supported by the governments of China and Russia. Darque, known to his friends as 'Chadeaux', leads a contingent of personnel in pursuing the threat into Europe and the Middle East to end the danger. From an obscure event in the jungles of Southeast Asia, to encounters with governments intent on acquiring world dominance. 'Chadeaux' remained the thread that kept the globe stable - until his untimely 'demise'.
 
Steve spent the majority of his 22-year military career in Europe as a Counterintelligence Agent investigating National Security Crimes, especially Espionage. The knowledge he acquired, and achievements he accomplished during his career, make him well qualified to write "The Darque Side", his third novel.

Amanda Fasciano

What are you supposed to do when the spirit of someone alive suddenly appears? 
Having died in the line of duty, Detective Cadence Riley has been recruited to help police haunted locations so that the spirits don't give too much away to the living. She and her partner have also helped protect the living from non-human evil spirits. All is going according to procedure until someone alive appears before her. 
Cadence has been reunited with her brother--who died ten years before when the majority of coeds in his dorm were slaughtered. Restoration of the old Victorian style dorm has begun as the college is intent on opening the building up once more. The construction does more than disturb the spirits of the dead, however. 
The spirit of an old classmate, one not killed in the massacre, appears out of the blue. As Cadence and Snow begin to put the pieces of the puzzle regarding his sudden appearance in place, it becomes clear that more is at stake. This case, for both the living and the dead, is as dangerous as a raging fire. Someone is bound to get burned.
