Book Description
I was inspired to write this novel after experiencing over my years in the business world just how many companies fail to conduct themselves as “good citizens.” Their shortcomings seemed to have a common theme. The failure always seems to revolve around the CEO and the company’s board of directors. Many times, these bad actors are guilty of monetary greed, and in other times, it’s sexual harassment. My story, as proven by past and current events, explores the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. Unfortunately, this issue exists in every industry, and it has surfaced with a vengeance. My story is about how one man, Jake Carver, was forced to take a stand. His female employees confided in him that his boss, the CEO, and some of his directors, were sexually harassing them. His fight cost him his career, his wife, and finally his life. But ultimately, justice did prevail.

Book Description
When Jaime Escobar gets a disturbing e-mail asking for help from a woman claiming to be his best friend Michael's sister, he begins an adventure that takes him to a sleepy Southern town full of dangerous secrets. After arriving in Michael's hometown of Front Royal, Virginia, Jaime soon meets Michael's sister, M Forester. M believes her brother has mysteriously disappeared and may be in trouble. Since Jaime hasn't heard from Michael in months, he's inclined to think it's just one of his friend's practical jokes. But everyone in the town-and even other family members-are reluctant to talk about Michael. The only useful piece of information Jaime can glean from the residents is about Michael's home, Guard Hill House. It's haunted, they say, and when ominous drums begin to sound in the house, something terrible is about to happen. Jaime brushes aside their warning and heads to Guard Hill House to try to find clues to Michael's whereabouts. But after one horrifying experience almost kills him, and M has an unexplained, nearly fatal accident, the two realize the power of the old house. Did Michael somehow succumb to its frightening pull-and will they be next?

Book Description
George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has sparked a renewed interest in things medieval. The pseudo-historical world of Westeros delights casual fans while offering a rich new perspective for medievalists and scholars. This study explores how Martin crafts a chivalric code that intersects with and illuminates well known medieval texts, including both romance and heroic epics. Through characters such as Brienne of Tarth, Sandor Clegane and Jaime Lannister, Martin variously challenges, upholds and deconstructs chivalry as depicted in the literature of the Middle Ages.
