When a Mafia don is gunned down in New York, his wife forms a gang
of Mafia females to avenge his death. This story contains violence,
revenge, greed, rape, lust, nudity, love, heterosexual and bisexual
sex scenes, sensual love scenes, but no vulgar four-letter words.
For adult readers.
Renaissance art, past life experiences, and art terrorism lead to
murder and suicide in modern-day Florence. David Rinaldo hears
voices in his head that tell him to commit acts of vandalism. When
he takes a hammer to Michelangelo's "David" in the Galleria dell
Accademia, he tells police that the woman in Paolo Veronese's
painting, "Allegory of Wisdom and Strength" told him to do it. He
is no sooner out of jail when his "voices" compel him to destroy
the plaque that commemorates the site of Father Girolamo
Savonarola's execution (by fire) in 1498, but as he does that, he
feels the flames again and hears the voices saying, "But you're not
dead? I'm not dead." Each person who gazes at Veronese's painting
experiences visions of their past life during the Renaissance. Dr.
Lola Peligi's dissertation for her work on her patented "Peligi
Syndrome" will make her famous; however, she does not realize that
her subordinate, Dr. Phillipe Lazardo, has other plans for her new
study patient, David Rinaldo. Those plans are thwarted when a young
American, Ed Rinaldo, decides to pay a visit to his distant
relative whom he's never met. Ed inadvertently becomes embroiled in
a conspiracy involving Dr. Lazardo, an Italian art terrorist, an
Italian interpreter with her own mental issues, and an MI6 agent
who uses his conspiracy blog to gather evidence. Michelangelo,
Veronese, and members of the Medici family make "cameo"
appearances? in this suspenseful story of Renaissance-era political
intrigue and 21st century murder and insanity.
Gina Angelo fell in love with motorcycles the first time she rode
her brother's Harley. She then became a pacesetter: first, by
organizing the "Witches on Wheels" (Detroit's first women's
Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Club) and then by becoming a legendary
woman street fighter at a time in America when most women were
housewives and stay-at-home moms. From truck stop waitress to
carnival stripper, from "the Toughest Woman in Michigan" to
Hollywood star, Gina lived life on her own terms. It is unlikely
that America will ever witness an equal to the 1950s biker queen
who became a legend in her own time.

The election of a new progressive Pope brings sweeping changes to
the Catholic Church worldwide. Many are happy to see the Church
modernized, while others believe there's a vampire in the Vatican,
sucking the lifeblood out of their beloved Church and vow to do
whatever must be done to stop him...but who are they? Enter the
cloistered walls of the Vatican as the mystery is unraveled.
Selling Out America Against a backdrop of Chinese cyber warfare and
continued growth of a homegrown American Jihad threat, A US Senator
attempts to bring jobs to his state, to off-set the high
unemployment. During his tenure in Washington, he has become
corrupt. He now lobbies for a Chinese firm for promises of new
jobs. He also accepts gifts of money and sex from his clients. The
client is, unknown to the Senator, part of a spy ring attempting to
infiltrate the US Missile Defense system with a computer virus
similar to the Stuxnet virus that shut down the Iranian nuclear
program for fourteen months. During his campaign, the senator
played heavily on his military service. His opponent has found
information that the senator never went into combat, and challenges
him nationally. The expose is more than the senator can handle. He
develops a psychopathic alter ego, which sets him on a rampage of
serial killings to prove his courage, and to punish the unworthy.
The question is: can the senator be stopped before he provides the
Chinese with this cyber weapon--- which could leave the US open to
nuclear strikes from China-or from the Iranian missiles soon to be
deployed in Venezuela?
