Once a mighty kingdom reigned, but now all is chaos. In the vast reaches of the desert, a young heretic escapes certain death and embarks on a mission of madness and glory. He is El Murid—the Disciple—who vows to bring order, prosperity and righteousness to the desert people of Hammad al Nakir. El Murid incites rebellion against the godless kingdoms and tribes as he plots to execute the justice of the desert. After four long centuries, El Murid is the savior who is destined to build a new empire from the blood his enemies. Or so it seems. El Murid has victory in his grasp, the desert tribes of Hammad al Nakir are rallying around him, and the last remaining thread of the royal lineage wanders the desert with only Heathens to help him. But all is not as it seems, and the sinister forces pulling the strings of empire come into the light. Who and what lies behind El Murid’s vision of a desert empire?

A brilliant new talent delivers a sweeping thriller that turns the entire history of America upside down. Colonial historian Benjamin Wainwright is summoned to a secretive think tank in western Massachusetts by an old school friend who researches war-game theory. Upon his arrival, Wainwright discovers that his friend is dead and suspected of having leaked information. When the security analyst hired to investigate the case is targeted for assassination, Benjamin wonders: Was his friend's death an accident—or murder? A series of codes, forged documents, and secret family histories all point to the existence of a centuries-old conspiracy. Benjamin teams up with a beautiful Russian cultural attaché named Natalya Orlova, whose own family has a dark history with the KGB, to unravel the truth. The two set off on a dangerous mission that stretches from Washington, DC, to the French Riviera, to deep within the Siberian wilderness. Together, they discover the sinister forces that have pulled the strings of power in America—perhaps all the way back to its very founding. What our characters learn will make us question everything we thought we knew about American history, from the Revolution to the Cold War, and what lies in store for the fate of the nation. With a gripping pace and enigmatic plot that drives the reader from one page to the next, The Shadow War is a highly intelligent thriller that asks: Who really runs the country, who controls our enemies, and to what lengths will they go to conceal their hidden agendas?

Is Love More Powerful Than Evil? The author of the series: A Twisted Shade of Green returns with the motivating and passionate edge seater centered around one man’s most thought-provoking unsaid truths and hidden obscurities of his past. An unmentioned time that Glen Monroe has concealed away from the one woman he vowed to tell everything; Kali Mathias. That instant, Glen bartered his today filled with revenge for a tomorrow of lies and secrets, and Kali traded a squandered episode of lust for desiring unconditional love from Glen. Kali’s in love! She realized Glen’s heart is only telling him what she’s felt since Friday, June 15, 2012. Two years ago, when Kali’s ardent gaze first met with Glen’s, she understood he was destined by God to be her husband! That was until this resentful ex-lover from Glen’s past sweeps back into Springfield, Virginia, like a vulture still carrying a heated torch for Glen and envy for Kali. Iona Monroe, Glen’s ex, and the warden of his past life and the keeper of all Glen’s lies and secrets. Is Kali Mathias ready for Iona Monroe? The other woman of Glen’s past, who’s not going anywhere without him! Iona is back with a bag of games loaded with tricks to take Kali down and get her Glen back at all costs. How could Kali’s passion for Glen compare with Iona’s for him? It was more than Kali’s heart can behold. The envious ex-lover, who remains silent on Glen’s lips, yet Iona now stands between Kali and his happy ever after. Rather more like a fairy tale where a scorned woman’s jealous and resentful eyes sought-after the same heart Kali so desires to treasure. Nonetheless, for Kali, Glen’s past life was a dominant volcano where the magma of mendacities and mysteries could erupt at any time. The hands of Satan, Iona Monroe, lurks in the background to influence Kali’s heart, casting doubt on what Kali felt God destined for her; Glen Monroe. Could the exposed secrets from a woman of Glen’s past derail his future with Kali Mathias forever, or will joy come in the end? The spawn of Satan has returned to wreak havoc, and reclaim what’s hers through any means possible as Kali finds herself asking. “Where is God; is he really there?” While in her heart, at that same time, knowing. Who else, but God can turn a lustful and revengeful core into pure love for another, or a pair of lying lips into the truth! Who else, but God can take your deepest and darkest secret meant to be used for evil, and turn it into pure glory while loving you in the midst of it all! So, even though Kali and Glen might have permitted the sound of Satan, Iona, to waver their hearts momentarily, the lips were now saying. “Who else, but God was there!” Because although; God’s presence wasn’t visible to Kali nor Glen, like in the Book of Esther, God is there surrounding them in His protective hands of love against the powerless tongue of Satan.
