AMERICAN WAY (novel)
"What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas" is a humorous caricature of Sin City often laced with sexual innuendos that had thrust young lovers John and Sylvia headlong into this city of temptation. The "Poker Rush" was at its all time high at the World Series Tournament in Las Vegas. Its gazillion bright lights - a beacon to the downtrodden economy's lofty hopefuls, whom were preyed upon by the sly James Foxwoods of the world! Just like the olden times of California's Gold Rush, John perceived it to be a get-rich-quick life of luxury, not just for himself but more so, especially for his childhood sweetheart, Sylvia. Sadly, John learned the hard way what every savvy poker player was perfectly aware of; that being mathematically sound in poker was just part of the "equation" of a successful poker career. He soon discovered that it's also a game ruled by emotions and random chance, and that sometimes the mathematically sound decision wasn't necessarily the best one, especially if love is what's at stake. Alas, the proverbial "House of Cards" on which their dreams were flimsy built on had finally fallen and crumbled, leaving in its wake a chaotic dusty trail of the telltale signs of shattered hopes and love gone awry.
THE PERUKE MAKER - The Salem Witch Hunt Curse
Inspired By True Events That Took A Bizarre And Deadly Detour In America's 17th Century Dark History
The witch hunt hits feverish peak. Fear of the devil is as real as God. Witchcraft is a hideous crime a person could commit and is punishable by death at the Gallows Hill for the victims accused of sorcery. Driftingly, a red-stained full moon streaked with ominous dark haunting clouds is witness to the strange forewarn of the vicious lashing of wind and distraught flying bats, over dead bodies swinging precariously in the wind by the branches of the locust trees. River reflections of Bridget's scantily clad youthful beauty with long, flowing, wild, red hair, is frozen in fear amidst the overture of the Banshee's foreboding and bloodcurdling wails of imminent death, that of her own. The Peruke Maker's vengeful curse hastens chase for the innocent and is carried off by a whirl of ill-omened wind that transgresses all natural laws of time and space. But love and forgiveness triumphs beyond the grave and a chance at love and life is bestowed upon the worthy, at midnight of the Autumnal Equinox.
ROMANCING THE CLADDAGH - The breathtaking mystery of the Irish CLADDAGH unraveled!
On a fire singed wall not so far away from the tragedy, a collage of photographs shaped the heartbreaking desperation of a city in search of missing love ones. A rescue recovery center is deluged with a cascade of hundreds of Irish CLADDAGH rings uncovered from the collapsed World Trade Center at Ground Zero. The legend of the CLADDAGH'S origin entwines with romance of love tales, perilous adventures, mystery and royalty. A distinctively unique, timeless and honored treasure of Irish heritage that is no stranger to love, tragedy and triumph. FOR IT WAS ONCE UPON A TIME, a sigil painted on an exclusive white sail of the Fisher King Ship marked with a crown, a pair of hands clasping the escutcheon of Nassau, evident of the crest of the royal house to which Liam, the King of CLADDAGH belongs, was recreated into a great spherical gold brooch to adorn the velvet lavender cloak of his future queen: Rowena, a descendant of ancient Ireland's fiery crimson-haired goddess Macha, who wreaked a terrible powerful curse upon the northern kings of Ireland's bloodline. An Irish phenomenon: its famous adage of "Let Love, Loyalty and Friendship Reign," still eloquently resonates to this day.
