The Dead Presidents Club started as an idea for film or television. With over forty presidents as the characters, the best vehicle for the story of The Dead Presidents Club was to first tell it with a book. The author has used extensive research of presidential anecdotes with the sometimes macabre details of presidential death as a springboard for these colorful presidential ghosts to interact and reflect on their presidencies from their common afterlife.

Looks Can Be Deceiving is the authors second book. It is a collection of ten short stories united by the title. Our first impressions are not always a reflection of reality. The lens of time often provides a revealing perspective.
