Book Description
The Dutch Uncle is the first book in a series featuring P. T. O'Connor, who works for W.E.B. Enterprises, an investigative firm located in one of the less desirable neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The story starts with the strong-arm coercion of Clarence Reynolds, the adoptive uncle of the firm's owner, W. E. Barrett. It evolves through encounters with would-be gangsters, crooked cops, less than ethical businessmen, ersatz radical revolutionaries, murder, kidnapping and twisted politicians. With help from his girlfriend, Beth, his boss Will Barrett and Will's beautiful wife, Pamula, P. T. eventually untangles this convoluted conspiracy. In the end, P. T. concludes that most criminal behavior has its base in illogical thinking. As the violence of the crime escalates, the reasoning for its commission diminishes.

Book Description
Six heirlooms – a portrait, a table, a parure, a whiskey label, a set of books, and a building -- tell the stories of six branches of a family whose possessions lived through three centuries and eventually came together under one roof before dispersing again. These items have survived through generations and witnessed their owners as they evolved through history. In addition to the lives of their individual owners, the stories also cover certain historical and cultural figures, both American and French: slave traders and plantation owners, merchants and financiers of New York, whiskey distillers, Creoles of Louisiana, wreckers off the Florida Keys, drafters on Napoleon’s mission to Egypt, French lawyers and politicians, World War II fighters, and CIA spies. The book pays homage to the heirlooms’ past owners; it also examines the culture that surrounds families of wealth and status and the fierce struggle to retain these advantages through marriage ties. The stories pay homage to the heirlooms’ past owners.

Book Description
Sometimes a new life is not all it's cracked up to be. Especially an exciting new identity in government Witness Relocation for a couple of newlyweds who barely know each other, or themselves anymore. Just ask disgruntled Arizona Relocation subjects Lorenzo and Dr. Lucretia Valentino, formerly of beautiful Beach City, Indiana. Much like the merciless Sonoran Desert, things can get a little heated. It can also be kind of a drag, stuck in the middle of it. Or more precisely a dreary Nowheresville cul-de-sac apparently home more to the dead than the living. Throw into the mix a suspiciously paternal shrink and a sleazy serial killer from their permanently sealed past, an outlaw biker kingpin, a mysteriously absentee case manager, a precocious pair of newborn twins, the meddling long-distance in-laws, a cranky lady doc who despises the new government job not working with her beloved cadavers, a hopelessly haunted so-called safe house, and the nightmarish fugitive fun is just beginning.
