*************************

2th century England: Two men vie for the throne: King Stephen the usurper and young Duke Henry the rightful heir. Amid civil and private wars, alliances are forged, loyalties are betrayed, families are divided, and marriages are made.

For four years, Lady Annyn Bretanne has trained at arms with one end in mind–to avenge her brother’s murder as God has not deemed it worthy to do. Disguised as a squire, she sets off to exact revenge on a man known only by his surname, Wulfrith. But when she holds his fate in her hands, her will wavers and her heart whispers that her enemy may not be an enemy after all.

Baron Wulfrith, renowned trainer of knights, allows no women within his walls for the distraction they breed. What he never expects is that the impetuous young man sent to train under him is a woman who seeks his death–nor that her unveiling will test his faith and distract the warrior from his purpose.

*************************

he Dark Horse of Shanghai is a story of cultural clashes between the United States and China that plunges the reader through a maze of deeply-entrenched Chinese business traditions and back alley tactics most Americans cannot understand.

On May 7, 1999, the U.S. deliberately bombs the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo War. Six years later, Kip Duchene, a business icon in California known for turning troubled companies around, is prodded by his best friend, Sal Estrada, to join him in China to stop the imminent demise of Shanghai Shores, a failing housing development. But he’s handicapped from using his well-honed business skills–he doesn’t speak the language, has no idea how Chinese think, and is unprepared to cope with widespread corruption.
Rico Niu, a giant in the Chinese underworld, emerges as a deadly adversary willing to do anything to take over Shanghai Shores in his quest to revenge what happened in Belgrade. As Duchene begins to falter, help comes from the beautiful Angie Li, a savvy local who knows how to get things done in Shanghai. Working side-by-side, the unlikely pair plows headlong into one crisis after another while Duchene struggles with his growing attraction to her. When Rico Niu becomes frustrated with his takeover attempts, he gives the order to insure that Duchene makes the ultimate sacrifice–his life.

Hearing about the setbacks at Shanghai Shores in the news, local people start calling the once heralded housing development, “Hei ma Shanghai (The Dark Horse of Shanghai)”

*************************

hat if you woke up in the middle of an Indian jungle wearing only your boxer shorts, to find that you had complete amnesia? This is exactly what happens to Paul, the free spirited traveler and student of yoga.

While on retreat from their hectic New York City lifestyles, Paul and his friend head into the jungles of India to escape the touristy streets and hike to a nearby waterfall. Deep in the jungle they stop for a swim. Afterward, Paul goes running off alone, finally hopping up on a felled tree to see how far he had gone. Suddenly he slips, smacking his head on a rock below lying unconscious in thick brush, rendering him invisible to any search attempts. The next morning he wakes up with a massive headache and complete amnesia. He is discovered by a couple of small tan monkeys, and realizes that although he doesn’t remember who he is or where he belongs in the world, he has the uncanny ability to speak to animals. Mystical monkeys, magical Babas, a hilarious-egotistical tiger, a beautiful butterfly and lone wolf, are just a few of the many allies that help guide him through this magnificent and dangerous world toward Shambhala-a place where he is told that all of his questions can be answered, including that of the immense suffering he encounters at every turn. Great wisdom brings him deep into his heart and high up into the cold mountains, where alone he risks certain death, to find answers at a place he is not even sure exists.
