Sharp Obsidian
Joseph Suste's Sharp Obsidian, first published in 2014 and now in 2018 with this second edition, lays bare the inner struggles of a father and his strong-willed teenage daughter when she begins to test life's boundaries. Her father refuses to let destructive influences twist her morals, and dispirited, he commits his daughter to a teen recovery camp. She is indignant but meets the challenge with grit, uncovers her true essence, and matures into a savvy young woman
Julia — A headstrong fourteen-year-old challenging her parents for control as she experiments with life's temptations. If you are fourteen, have ever been fourteen or are the parent of a fourteen-year-old, you will find a connection to Julia.
Steven — Julia's father, frightened by the choices his daughter is making and determined to protect her. Any father of a teenage daughter will understand where Steven is coming from and recognize his fear.
The Torture Trial of George W. Bush
Joseph Suste's second novel, The Torture Trial of George W. Bush, was first published in 2016 and with updated information in 2018.
It's no secret that President George W. Bush ordered the torture of terrorist suspects in the years following the 911 attack; yet, powerful political forces and a legal firewall have protected him and his accomplices from prosecution. It takes the courage and dedication of Special Prosecutor Timothy Madegen to skirt an impotent U.S. Justice system and bring the torturers to trial. Allies join him: A reluctant federal judge holds off establishment forces, a protective Vietnam vet is driven by loyalty to Madegen's dead father, a curmudgeon law professor offers inventive legal tactics, and a pretty political scientist falls in love with him. Ruthless forces oppose Madegen with slander, subversion, and violence.
The Torture Trial of George W. Bush calls for action and pricks the conscience of political leaders and the American People.

Growing Up Strong
In 2017, Joseph Suste's third book, Growing Up Strong, is dedicated to all of the mothers of the world and their beautiful children. My daughter went to a bookstore to find a gentle way to nudge her son into thoughts of weaning. When she couldn't find a book on the subject, I offered to write one.
Every child is unique. Some kids wean themselves early, and others need extra time. Some need a suggestion from mom. This book is designed to help parents introduce the idea to their child in a gentle way.
From Author Joseph Suste:
This writing takes me back to my childhood and a wonderful memory of my mother breastfeeding my baby sister early one morning, while my brother, my three sisters, and I gathered around them. It was a euphoric experience for all of us which I will never forget.

“. . . the experience he nailed. This is something my mom and I have needed to do for over a decade just didn’t know how . . . provided a way for us to finally understand, and for that I send my deepest regards.”
—Alicia Closson, Colfax, WA.
"There's real power in Sharp Obsidian. The unflinching look at teenage angst both shocks and reminds you of rougher younger times; the tenacity of a father's devotion to his daughter carries you through a story with a believable balance of danger and redeeming hope."
—Jeff Golden, founder and producer/host, immensepossibilities.org
"A literary work...adventurous...dangerous...poetic...philosophical...stirring."
—Bill Gholson, PhD. Professor English and Writing, Southern Oregon University
