He’s a lovestruck stagehand moonlighting as the Foxman. She’s an aspiring actress masquerading as the Cat Burglar. As the clash between their costumed alter egos heats up, their big city dreams threaten to go up in smoke. Cassandra’s life flashes before her eyes when she gets trapped in a subway door. It’s a disappointing life: she never landed the big role and she may be engaged to the wrong man. Rescued by a kind-eyed stranger, Cassandra gets a second chance to make good on her Broadway dreams, straighten out her love life, and deliver some karmic justice to the city in the guise of a slinky Cat Burglar. So long as she can shake off that pesky Foxman and the bungling police detectives on her tail. Wilfredo’s skateboarding fox suit is a hit on Halloween. But an unexpected tussle with a fleeing thief in a Cat Burglar costume leads to a spectacular wipeout. He has no clue his comical mishap has been recorded in a soon-to-be viral video. Nor does he recognize his masked opponent as the green-eyed girl whose number he lost a month ago. Reveling in his every blunder is Captain Pete, the ventriloquist dummy from his childhood, whose snarky comments leave poor Wilfredo clinging to his sanity by his fingernails.

A neighborhood is turned upside down when an alien lands on a New York rooftop. In this charming debut novel we meet the residents of an East Village block whose lives are thrown into turmoil by an extraterrestrial visitor. There's a wanna-be rock star, his eccentric rabbit-loving neighbor, a cursed superintendent, and a ghost-obsessed old woman, along with a remarkable cat. Their intersecting paths are all drawn up towards the otherworldly creature lurking overhead. When Ollie spies a two-headed turtle from outer space on a nearby rooftop he wonders if he has lost his mind. His incredulous friends certainly think so. To make matters worse he lands in hot water at his bookstore day job and his cat has gone missing. His bandmate Zara offers to help him track down the troublesome feline, and they join forces with a nosy starlet to follow a trail of clues that leads them inexorably up toward a mysterious rooftop creature who would much prefer to remain hidden. The Intergalactic Interloper is a lighthearted romp through a bohemian New York world, a one of a kind novel that is as memorable and interesting as it is fun.

Prior to the Six-Day War, Israel was a darling of the international left, vocally opposed to apartheid and devoted to building alliances with black leaders in newly independent African nations. South Africa, for its part, was controlled by a regime of Afrikaner nationalists who had enthusiastically supported Hitler during World War II. But after Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories in 1967, the country found itself estranged from former allies and threatened anew by old enemies. As both states became international pariahs, a covert—and lucrative—military relationship blossomed between these seemingly unlikely allies. Based on extensive archival research and exclusive interviews with former generals and high-level government officials in both countries, The Unspoken Alliance tells a troubling story of Cold War paranoia, moral compromises, and startling secrets.

The most shocking, explosive revelation ever to strike American people rigth between the eyes. The President's use of secret files against politicians, businessmen, the clergy and just plain everyday American citizens to further his own personal ends. The cover-up of the real reasons for Waco, Ruby Ridge and Oklahoma City and the First Interstate Bank fire in Los Angeles. And not the least, the censorship of the terrifying plots to assassinate then President George Bush and four former Presidents, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, James Carter, Ronald Reagan and their wives with laser weapons. The killings were to take place in the dedication ceremony of Reagan's Library in Simi Valley California. The Presidents and their wives had known too much. And there was the astounding fact that the plotters, one of them was arrested, were also involved in the assassinations of JFK and RFK. But, far more astounding was the fact that the Secret Service released the suspect and killed the investigation. In Washington, D.C., the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding hearings on the Dossiers, the Secret Files - the Committee members, Senators Joseph Biden, Dianne Feinstein, Strom Thurmond, Howell Heflin, Edward Kennedy, Arlen Specter and others are committing evil acts to cover up their involvements and their part in the horrendous conspiracy to destroy the Constitution and make serfs and slaves of the American people.
