Hot Air
March 26, 2022 By
“**Hilarity** in the Hudson Valley’s oddest small town…alive with quips, wit, misunderstandings, amusing local-isms, and an overall sense of **irresistible momentum**.” —*BookLife*
“**Witty and engaging**” —*Kirkus Reviews*
“Hilarious” —Chanticleer Book Reviews
“Charmingly written, with a strong sense of fun, there is a wonderful P. G. Wodehouse feel to it.” —The Wishing Shelf
It’s summer in Arnold Falls, where’s the more than enough hot air to go around. In book two of the series, there’s a proposal to change Arnold Falls’ name (for a cash payout). Town memorabilia is going missing in the dark of night. And what is happening at the hospital? Something definitely not good.
All these strange goings-on are prompting identity crises wherever you look. Jeebie returns to narrate much of the story, having to deal with his place in the community. Does his place include a cow named Minna? Meanwhile, Jenny, the new mayor, is helping her newly adopted son acclimate to the town. And a television series about a Hudson Valley hamlet (that bears a lot of resemblance to Arnold Falls) is using the town for filming.
Will the town get its memorabilia back? Will it get its name back? Will it get its mojo back? Probably, but, as always in Arnold Falls, they’ll take the long way home and they will definitely stop for doughnuts.
“This comic sequel finds ample hilarity in the Hudson Valley’s oddest small town.” —BookLife
“Arnold Falls bristles with zany events, quirky locals, and colorful newbies. Above all, this memorable enclave buoys its people through heart, soul, wit, and a true sense of collective spirit.” —Chanticleer Book Reviews
“Charming…effervescent…delightful.” —Foreword Clarion Reviews

Free: Finding Eden
March 15, 2022 By
The MV Militobi, a German rescue ship, teeming with 600 Arab, African, and South Asian migrants, patrols the Mediterranean Sea and learns that all European ports refuse entry to asylum-seekers. Captain Anna Kruger has a decision to make: return immediately to the nearest port to place passengers in a detention camp for deportation or head to an uncharted island she found on an old map as a temporary solution.
Santa Inez Island is a paradise with plenty of food, water, and shelter and is already the home of hundreds of migrants. Modern-day pirates, led by Commandant Rafael Delgado, kidnap Captain Kruger and thirty female passengers as soon as they set foot on the island. The remaining ship’s crew is given one month to bring back a million Euro ransom or the hostages will be put to death! Under the cover of darkness, First Officer Jorge Estrada, leads the crew back to mount a rescue. Unarmed and undermanned, he must persuade all three villages, segregated by Delgado’s men on the island, to join him or the rescue will fail. His challenge? All three groups believe the pirates protect them from the violence of the other villages.
Throughout this novel, Captain Kruger, Commandant Delgado, Jorge Estrada, and a cast of memorable, migrant characters inhabit a magnificent island that brims with life. Fast-paced and entertaining, Finding Eden and its complementary additions (audio clips and deleted chapters) make for an elegantly constructed and timely story of the monumental challenges facing asylum-seekers today and the people who give their lives to help them.

The Great Mongolian Bowling League of the United States of America
March 12, 2022 By
“A joyous, uplifting, and uniquely rendered first novel. It is a testament to kindness and friendship and has readers falling in love with Harold Kushner, a man for all seasons. Sit back and drink in some warmth, wit, and wisdom.” —Ken Eulo, Author of The Brownstone Trilogy
HAROLD KUSHNER and his roommate of thirty years, Murray Schwartz, are average senior citizens facing down their mortality in a trailer park in Land O’ Lakes, Florida. Two self-professed “best Jewish bowlers ever” wind up contestants in the first-ever Great Mongolian Bowling League Tournament in the U.S.A. The rivalry becomes a high stakes roll-off as Harold approaches “perfection” (defined in the bowling world as three 300- score games in a row) despite a fix set by the alley’s mobster owners. As the reporters and camera crews swarm to cover his amazing fete, Harold finds himself in a life review spanning back to his Bar Mitzvah and a past incarnation as a Mongolian warrior in the era of Genghis Khan, as he ponders profound questions we all ask as we near the end of our lives: Did my life have meaning? Did I fulfill my potential? Was I a good person?
Can Harold roll perfection to help his new Mongolian friends and live to tell the tale? The uncanny action unfolds in this beautiful comedy illuminating that although we come from worlds far apart, we share a common humanity. The outcome will impact millions… and strike you right in the heart. $2.99 on Kindle.
