THE SECOND CIVIL WAR - BOOK I - A NATION DIVIDED
Wars do not just happen. No one gets up one morning and says ‘I think I’ll start a war today'. Wars take time to cultivate. They must be nurtured. Issues need to be unresolved and left simmering.
Why would any nation go to war with itself? How can there possibly be a winner? No one really wins in a Civil War. Once a Civil War starts there is no quick way to end it. No matter what the size of the opposing army or how advanced their weapons are, guerrilla warfare is the great equalizer.
The purpose of the government is to ensure our constitutional rights of freedom and liberty. But what happens when the government leaders decide that they know what is best in every aspect of our lives and that they have the authority to usurp the constitution?
There are many that are not sheep and will stand up and fight for what they feel is morally right. At some point the people will rise up and oppose those hell-bent on invalidating the Constitution. At that point we will have America's SECOND CIVIL WAR.
This is Book I, A NATION DIVIDED - The Preamble to War. It is a chilling view of one possible future for the United States of America.

THE SECOND CIVIL WAR - BOOK II - A NATION AT WAR
Diplomacy has failed, compromise could not be reached, and egos prevailed over common sense. America was now at war with itself. Every death, every injury, would be an American one. Over the course of the conflict, more Americans would die than during all the other wars in our history combined.
California, trying to remain neutral, suddenly finds it is under attack from Mexico. The Mexican government seizes the opportunity to regain territory while the rest of America is engaged in the second Civil War.
The newly formed American Republic calls on Canada to broker a peace settlement to end the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of American lives. Unfortunately the conference does not achieve the desired end to the conflict. With the devastation escalating, there is a desperate need for someone to come forward with a rational solution to end the hostilities. Can sanity be regained before one side or the other resorts to nuclear weapons?

CLOSE PROXIMITY
Doctor Abigail Montgomery is a Professor at the University of Arizona. She, along with her team of brilliant grad students, is working to prove or disprove the hypothesis of a tenth planet.
During the project, an intriguing object is discovered. As they delve deeper, they are able to confirm that the mysterious object is an asteroid of near planet proportions heading toward our solar system. Traveling at over 32 kilometers per second and with a mass only slightly less than Neptune, it would be the end of the Earth if it impacted.
The race to determine its exact course is complicated by the wobble of the planetoid. Observatories from Arizona, Chili, and the Canary Islands work to determine the exact path. Rumors abound as the media picks up the story and ‘experts’ are on the air non-stop with their theories.
Abigail, along with other scientists, determines that the planetoid will not impact the Earth but they soon realize a threat just as great. It very likely will impact the Moon. The resulting collision would change life on Earth forever.
In a race against time, a radical new EMP emitter, still in the testing stages, is approved by the President. As the window of opportunity closes, all the world can do is wait and pray that it will work.

UNFINISHED
The old west was a hard place, no place for a city girl like Millicent. At least that’s what Zachariah Ingram figured until Millie made her way to him against her Boston father’s wishes.
Zach finds himself helping Sheriff Toby escorting criminals when he finds out that the Sheriff helped Millie on the last leg of her journey to reach his ranch. He hightails it home to find her there ready to marry him. They manage to make a good life together and have a son.
Unfortunately, the Cyrus gang have other plans for them. Zach can’t leave it “unfinished.”
This book was written for my mother-in-law who loves Westerns. It took a great deal of research to write it but overall I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. Having never written a Western it was indeed a challenge.
I've started an new Angie Bartoni book called "Nothing to Lose" and I hope to finish it in a week or so. Poor Angie gets in some of the biggest messes but what I love best about her is she never seems to lose her sense of humor. I like her 'Feisty' nature and her inability to stand morons that seem to crowd her life. In this book, she becomes extremely agitated when someone hurts Dan and puts him out of commission for a period of time.
THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU
On a side note. I would like to thank those of you that have bought, written reviews and enjoyed my books. People like Kim F., Lady LJ57, Dlaw , Jeri W., Dr. Simone, Oceans6974 and Cheryl. Your comments help me in more ways than you can imagine.
Here is the thing. I know there are great writers, pretty good writers, fair writers and some that need lots of work. I'm not sure where I am just yet. Someplace between fair and good as far as I can tell. One thing I can tell you is that I will try to get better. I'm sure some of my works will be better than others but I'll promise to try to become a better writer with each book I put out.
Again, thanks to everyone that has bought one of my books and please, keep the reviews coming. I learn from each one and try to read every single one.
NOTHING TO LOSE CASE FILE #5
I finished the latest Angie Bartoni Case File book last night. Once I finally got to bed I realized I hadn't considered what the cover was going to look like so I got back up and designed a cover for the thing.
Boy to have a staff that does some of this stuff would be great but hey, you have to start someplace and at the bottom is as good as anyplace.
I really hope people enjoy this one as much as I did writing it. Angie has her hands full with a real fruitcake this time. A serial killer that does it because he likes it. It doesn't matter who he kills to him. He just enjoys killing.
When Dan Roberts, her partner, gets seriously injured, Angie becomes even more determined to get this nut case back in prison. This time she is forced to work with not only the FBI but Homeland Security as well. Previous readers of the Angie Bartoni Case Files already know Angie does not play well with others so you can imagine the head butting that is going to take place. NOTHING TO LOSE CASE FILE #5

OKAY, I got this weird Sci-Fi going on in my head so I guess that will be my next book. Just once I would like to know how they seem to just 'pop' in my head. I mean I was just floating around in the pool and suddenly I started visualizing a new book. The first four chapters were worked out in my head before I even finished my third rum and coke. Wait...maybe that's the answer. Too many drinks in the pool on a hot day. (It was close to 100 today here).
Don't have a name for it yet but I have a couple in mind. I just finished the first four chapters for real tonight. Not exactly like I had originally thought but pretty close. I was really considering a Logan File or Bartoni Case File but what are you going to do when it 'Just Happens?'
So if it wasn't for going to a family reunion this weekend I would probably be holed up in my man cave typing my fingers off. Maybe it 's better this way. One thing I ask myself often is how do other writers go about coming up with ideas? Do they pop in their heads out of the air or do they look for things to write about? I simply never know when something is going to hit me and scream 'write me dumb butt'. I worry about me. My shrink does too. (Just kidding...right?)

Just got back from the family reunion and it was great. I was kind of leery after not seeing some of them for so long but it was the best time. You forget how important family is sometimes because we all have our lives and are too busy to stay connected. It was great fun to laugh, tell stories and just catch up on what was going on in our lives. Laughing at the dumb things we did as kids and in later life. What a wonderful weekend. Lots of love, laughs and hugs. Thanks to my cousins Randy and Lynn for getting us all together and to their wives, Vivian and Sue, that did a great amount of the work to pull this all together. It simply could not have been better.
Back to work on the Sci-Fi book. Having to do a lot of research to get this one off the ground. I want it to be not only intriguing but have some informative information thrown in. I don't want it to be just a mindless novel that mimics too many others.
I'm About 200 pages into the SciFi book and really enjoying it. Had to do a lot of research. Stumbled across some stuff that scares the heck out of me about what the government is doing (IF it is true and who really knows on the internet?) Hope to wrap it up in the next week if all goes well. It is moving really fast.
One of the biggest problems I have is deciding if they are SciFi books or tech no thrillers. Someone suggested cataclysmic novels and that sounds about right but Amazon doesn't offer that as a category.

I have just finished a SciFi book called WORLDS END that will be out in early August. It is in the editing process right now.
Unfortunately the process got slowed down when I had a heart attack and had to spend time in the hospital. I now have a pacemaker so all is well and I shouldn't have any more problems.
One thing for sure, I do not do well in hospitals. All I want to do is get out as quickly as possible.
Sterilization of Earth by unknown visitors has already begun. The few remaining survivors are fighting a war for existence against superior forces. The key to saving humanity rests with a few brilliant scientists who are deep underground in facilities known as DUMBS. Just when there seems to be no hope for mankind, Sarah Knott, one of the scientists, discovers a startling fact about the invading forces’ weapons. Her experiment leads to a possible solution and gives hope for the prospect of rendering the invaders weapons ineffective in their effort to sterilize the planet for their own future use.
In a race against time, Sarah and her team must build the weapon and determine if it will really work. There is only one way to do this. They must expose themselves to the aliens and test the weapon on the actual target. If there is a miscalculation, it will be not only the end of Sarah and unlikely hero, James, but the entire civilization of Earth. With the weapon ready to fire and all final calculations made, the showdown begins. The outcome will determine if this indeed will be Earth’s End.

Thanks to a reader, I have started numbering them since it is an on going series and readers often like to start at the first book to keep up with the character development.
vig·i·lan·te n.
1. One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands.
2. A member of a vigilance committee.
As much as it seems like the murders are justified, a nation based on a criminal law legal system leaves no room for vigilante justice. But that is exactly what Detective Angie Bartoni and her partner, Dan Roberts, are dealing with in the latest Bartoni Case File THE SHADOW MAN. When a group of ruthless murderers and rapists are released early from prison, they soon find themselves the target of a determined vindicator. Someone has decided to put into action the old saying that ‘vengeance is mine’.
One by one the perpetrators of the hideous crimes inflicted on their victims are being hunted down and given the same treatment. While sympathizing with the vigilante to some extent, Angie still has a job to do and she is determined to stop the vicious murders. Angie knows that a civilized nation cannot allow vigilante justice take over.
Angie and Dan play a deadly game of ‘catch the vigilante’ before he murders all of the former perpetrators. No matter how hard they try, he always seems to be one step ahead as if he were nothing more than a shadow slipping into the night.
The twisted ending will surely catch you off guard when you find that things are not always as they appear. This is another fast paced Angie Bartoni Case File that you won’t want to put down until the last page.

“Don’t touch it. I’ll let the ME get it out.”
“Why would someone do something like that?” Lisa asked.
“I guess for the same reason they stabbed the poor guy six times but didn’t actually kill him right away. They wanted it to hurt. A lot. My guess is that the note will probably tell us why or give us a clue. I just hope this isn’t a damn game to some nut,” I told her.
“A serial killer?”
“Serial, revenge, or whatever. One body is bad enough but if this is just the first then the whole game plan changes.”

I finally got around to writing a Young Adult book. It is primarily for middle school kids and deals with the trials and tribulations of middle school. It has lessons on living and bullying through out the book as well.
I had several middle school teachers read it to see what they thought and have encouraged me to not only publish this book but to write a follow up or even a series.

Project BlueBolt was created in the 1990’s to help Americans in the event of a massive terrorist attack. It was never intended to dismantle the Constitution or our way of life. It wasn’t until President Helen Clemons came into office that BlueBolt was dusted off and used to circumvent the Bill of Rights. President Clemons and her carefully selected faithful, set about to quell the citizen’s freedom of speech, eliminate trial by jury, and remove guns from the hands of citizens. In essence, they set up a Police State. Even travel and gatherings are restricted.
Book I American Gulags looks at how a President goes about bypassing Congress through Executive Actions. The ISS (Internal Security System) is created and soon has broad sweeping powers that include the authority to arrest, detain, and even imprison people without a trial. Thousands are soon sent to ‘Internment Camps’ located in Alaska, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas.
Book I is a frightening look at what happens when a President has a blatant disregard for not only the Constitution but the citizens of the United States as well.

PROJECT BLUE BOLT BOOKII II
Thousands have been sent to what the government is calling ‘Internment Camps’. Anyone that is considered a detriment to the current administration is simply relocated. No hearing, no trial and no appeals are allowed.
The ISS (Internal Security Service) has grown in power to such an extent that they have become the judge and jury in all matters.
Book II is the Journal of the former Newspaper reporter, Mark Walker after he was arrested and vanquished to the Monticello, New Mexico Interment Camp. It is but one of twenty such camps in operation in isolated areas such as Alaska, Nevada, North Dakota and Arizonian.
Mark chronologically records what life is like in these camps. The entries range from the compassion of some to the brutality of others. Even with the risk associated with having a journal, Mark is determined to never let people forget what can happen when the government gets out of control.

ANISHING ACT CASE FILE #11
Detective Angie Bartoni, along with her partner, Dan, is called to the scene of an apparent break-in and discovers that victim’s wife is missing. Something about the crime scene doesn’t feel right to Angie. Suspicious, she does some checking into the supposed victim, Edward Milliken’s, background. She discovers that this missing wife is actually the third wife of Milliken who has gone missing, leaving him with her considerable financial resources. Not one to believe in coincidence, Angie is certain that he has murdered his wives. Unfortunately, there is no body or other evidence to substantiate his guilt. During the course of the investigation, Angie uncovers evidence that a Detective, investigating the prior wife’s disappearance, took a pay off. Angie’s life is in jeopardy as the detective seeks revenge against her. It seems that all odds are against Angie and Dan coming up the evidence necessary to charge Milliken and the captain orders them to move on to other cases. Angie cannot let it go and has an epiphany as to where the missing women are buried. The question is, will the DA support her theory with a search warrant?

Revolution!
Is a frightening look at what could well happen in the United States. How it started is less important than the fact that we seemed to be headed down this very road. A war on US citizens by our very own government may seem unrealistic but when you look at the rights being given up by the people of this nation, it becomes all too clear that just such events could occur.
Revolution! Is about the citizens saying enough is enough and we are going to take this country back even if it means by armed intervention. Battle lines will be drawn and sides taken in the struggle to recapture the intent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Those are the foundations on which this country was built and while some may chip away at it, eventually people will recognize tyranny for what it is and take up arms to overthrow the oppressors.

PAYBACK CASE FILE #13

This is meant as a representation of the time I spent in the US Navy. Obviously, it does not cover everything I did, but it does give a fair depiction of life in the Navy. I have asked myself many times if I did the right thing by going into the Military, and every time I come up with the same answer. Absolutely, without a doubt, it was one of the best things I ever did. The Military isn’t for everyone. It teaches boys to become men in a few short weeks and toughen them to life, but in the long run it is a real advantage.
The 60's and 70's were difficult times to be in the military. The nation did not support the men and women fighting in Vietnam and shunned them and looked down on those serving. A nation should support every person willing to lay down their life for their country. Take it out on the government; but not those that gave their lives for this country. To some extent I am still bitter about how we were treated.
Since no one would be interested in my service years, I wrote this as sort of a trip down memory lane. Perhaps once I have passed on, my kids and/or Grand-kids may want to know what I did during the early part of my life while serving in the US Navy. I hope they find this informative and entertaining. I am proud to have served this great country and would do it again in a heart beat.

For justice to work effectively, it must be fair and unbiased. Ideally color, sex, looks, and wealth should not enter into any rendering by the court. Of course that is in theory only.
As intelligent people, we know there are two sets of laws. Ones for the everyday peons, and one for the extremely rich and powerful. Not only can prosecutors be bribed, but judges as well. That is when the system becomes broken.
Detective Zane Quinlan and his partner Janice Williams are faced with a string of gruesome murders. The deeper they dig into the case they find that the evidence points to a rich and powerful person. That is where the system begins to break down. They must tread lightly when he flexes his influence.
The case twist, turns, is fast paced, and has a surprise ending. Nothing is easy for Quinlan and Williams in this case.

This is a departure from my other novels. This one is based on factual events during the Second World War. This novel is based on documented facts about the race between the Nazis and Americans to split the atom and create the ultimate weapon at that time, the atomic bomb. Both England and the US had received rumors that the Germans were working on creating one of Hitler's 'Wonder Weapons'. Churchill was especially alarmed because he was convinced that the Germans would use it on England first. The two adversaries took different paths and fortunately for the Americans, it turned out to be the right one.
While there are many chapters in developing the ‘Bomb’, this novel tells of a lesser know detail about how the US managed to finish ahead of the Germans, despite the lead time they already had by the time the Americans got the approval to develop our own atomic bomb.
It is also a testament to the Norwegians that risk their lives in an attempt to slow the Nazi’s progress in developing a heavy water(Deuterium) reactor with the water supplied by the Vermork Hydroelectric plant outside Rjukan in Tinn, Norway.
