The Biblcal story of the death of King David is a powerful drama of courtly intrigue (I Kings, ch.1,2). "The Temple" uses the characters and circumstances of the story as the basis for a romantic comedy. As King David lies dying, Abishag, a fair maiden, is brought into the palace to lie with him because "his body gave off no heat." David's two sons, Solomon and Adonijah are engaged in a bitter struggle to succeed to the throne of Israel. Abishac becomes involved and wins the love of Solomon and an honored place in the palace. This unusual play will delight the sophisticated reader.

An additional feature is "The Life of King David in Context."

"Driving to Nowhere" uses the plot of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" for an action/adventure novel. Jason, a bright but shy and gentle student, comes home from the university and finds that his uncle has poisoned his father and is sleeping with his mother. His father appears to him in a dream and demands vengeance. Jason uses his father's funeral to satisfy himself that his uncle committed the crime. Like Hamlet during his sojourn with the pirates, Jason joins the army, becomes a tough fighting man, and has adventures in Afghanistan. He returns and takes his revenge. Two endings―one tragic, the other happy―bring the novel to a satisfying close.

Bill Clinton, and his counterpart in Britain, Tony Blair, were on the right track. They had grasped the essential principles of Liberalism, and they made an effort of avoid the contentious, special-interest issues that had become attached to the liberal message. My book is a work of passion, and I hope it arouses a similar passion in others, because without passion there will be no action.
