Lisa Collier has always known the military was right for her,
but she never counted on the trials and tribulations that accompany
her new life. But under her uniform representing pride and heroism,
she is conflicted. Unfortunately, Lisa soon realizes that her
extensive military training has not prepared her for the battles of
abandonment, neglect, infidelity, and abuse she suffers in her
personal life.
Lisa's best friend, Monique Grant, is not known for playing
games, especially when it comes to her freedom - and her heart. She
enters the military as a strong-willed woman who lets nothing stand
in her way, but almost immediately discovers she must learn to slow
down or lose everything she holds close to her heart.
"Memoirs of a Military Diva" shares the poignant tale of two
women as they journey to discover the true meaning of inner
strength, to stand firm in their identities, and, most importantly,
to embrace the bonds of sisterhood; relying on that, they have the
ability to overcome anything.
As throngs of humanity pack Rome's St. Peter's Square, all await
the news from the Sistine Chapel as to who will be the next Pope.
But no one is more anxious than Iraqi American Sami Yusuf, for he
and one of the papal candidates share a well-kept secret. When it
is finally announced that Cardinal Paul Rogan has been elected
Pope, Sami knows the one thing about Father Rogan that no one in
the crowd does-he is a humble shepherd who molests his unsuspecting
sheep.
Many years earlier, while Sami was a Jesuit school student in
Baghdad, he was molested by Father Rogan. Deathly afraid of
revealing the abuse for fear of losing his family's honor, Sami
eventually emigrated to the United States and joined the Air Force.
Meanwhile, Father Rogan slowly moved up in the Catholic
Hierarchy-while quietly ruining one young boy's life after another.
Now amid sectarian mayhem and the occupation of Iraq, Sami must
visit his ailing dad in Baghdad. But first he must fulfill his most
important life's mission-to cleanse the honor that Father Rogan
stripped from his family.
In this compelling tale that spans three continents, a vendetta
drives an Iraqi American pilot into international dram that
culminates with unexpected ramifications that change everything
forever.

"Toes of Apollo" is an exciting nautical adventure dramatizing
the best and the worst about the U.S. Coast Guard. It's the "Caine
Mutiny" on steroids Lt. (jg) Tom Stierwell, a twenty-two year old
office falls in love with the beautiful daughter of Captain Kearse,
an out-of-control commanding officer on the Coast Guard's
"Albatrosss," a unique mystery ship operating in the Eastern
Mediterranean, six-thousand miles from the USA. The location is on
land and ashore in tumultuous Greece where the Colossus of Rhodes
once stood, where religion and greed are a deadly reality on an
island of Muslim minarets and the rebuilt castle of Christian
crusaders.
