Mind-control has been studied, tested, and perfected through projects led by one man: the monk, Father Rene Dumas. But what does he intend to use this technology for? And why do the key scientists affiliated with this project suddenly turn up dead? Innocent nuns have computer control modules embedded in their brains and are assassinating French scientists. High-level intelligence officials are planning to use the complex brain-control system for their war on terror. A monk plans to use the system for personal vengeance, and two Catholic priests and a Bishop are in his sights. His unlikely alliance with top level figures in the Pentagon makes for an action-packed story filled with psychosis, assassinations, bedlam, and eventually redemption. This contemporary story concerns the path of a man's mind into spiritual chaos and the pathological actions he takes stemming from his pain and anguish due to the abuse of loved ones at the hands of religious leaders.
"Good Girl Gone Plaid" is a coming-of-age story that follows the shenanigans of a young Catholic school girl, Riley Patton, who ensures that humor and wit drive her daily desire to do what is good. Unfortunately, Riley continues to find herself in constant trouble with the nuns who preside over the school and at home with a mother who favors her two other sisters, leaving Riley feeling abandoned and hurt. Riley finds relief in tomboy adventures like poaching frogs and skinning fish with her best friends, and in writing in her "plaid/sad/mad/glad Father God and Mother Mary" journal. While she loves writing as well as anything related to sports, Riley struggles to find the "girly girl" within, comparing herself to others and hoping to get the boy of her dreams. She realizes, however, that her dreams lie not within others, but in discovering who she is and her own desires for her life, which may not always include boys. As a fifth grader, trouble follows Riley home as well, where she negotiates her way through the battles that belie a big middle class Catholic family of seven including her four siblings. Riley is a sensitive young girl who is both brave and curious, to her own detriment at times. She fights for the causes she believes to be true and fair and her self-confidence is won only by risking to be who she truly is.

I fondly dedicate this book to all the midnight coffee-campers in coffee shops and diners around the world. "My hands are loosely resting On a large brown steering wheel. There is loud, Sensually rhythmic music Pounding from my speakers. I am alone." - A Drive In The Dark] "Picking Shards of glass From a Broken picture frame I am reminded Of myself." - Nervous Laughter] "He said, She said, The wall said nothing In reply to all their Nothing." - In Reply To Nothing]
