In 1898, driven by dreams of fame and fortune, adventure and true love, three brothers left their beloved Calabria and all of its problems- including the Mafia- behind. First stop is Marseille in France and then to the United States, where they hope to see their dreams come true.
Life in this strange new world challenges the brothers, and they find that even in their new home familiar demons pursue them. The Pittsburgh version of the Sicilian Mafia, known as the Cosa Nostra, relies on time-tested savage techniques to maintain control. The Cudoni brothers pull together to carve out a new, peaceful, and prosperous life, but their vow to never pay the Cosa Nostra extortion money comes with a high price.

One of the brothers, Filippo, is a lost soul torn between his homeland and his new home with a new love. In America, he loses his heart to Angelina, a tall, beautiful Italian girl. Their love is hot, passionate, and intense, but when her father learns of his plans to return to Italy he pulls them apart.

Filippo leaves Pittsburgh and throws himself into work and into the arms of his boss’s daughter. Angelino hears of this and promises to marry Bruno Curcio, a coward at heart. When Tracy the boss’s daughter gets serious, Filippo cools this affair and returning to Pittsburgh has a secret affair with Angelina just before her wedding to Curcio, who was nearly killed by the Cosa Nostra a few months earlier. Filippo attends the wedding but promises Curcio he will not interfere with them as he will be returning to Italy.

He renews a short relationship with Tracy but soon finds himself back in the arms and bed of Angelina and after a fight with Curcio and the Cosa Nostra he returns to Italy.

There he meets Rosina, a softly spoken, beautiful ‘twin cousin’ to Angelina who heals his broken heart. With a promise from Rosina that she will wait for his return from America he travels back to his hometown, but the Calabrian mafia, seeking revenge, are waiting for him just out of town. Leaving behind two dead Mafi a men Filippo and two more of his brothers and a friend set off for America. He falls foul of the captain and crew and one night just before he enters his cabin he is hung by rope around the neck to the mast.

Love, sex, war, and magic …

In 330 BC in Egypt, a beautiful young girl named K’ilah had no grasp of the adventures she was destined to know. Already, she had seen twelve risings of the Nile, and she was not yet married. This upset her; most girls her age were married and already had two children. But in a flash—as quick as lightning—she would find that she no longer had time to obsess about her lack of a family. She was about to be catapulted into a world of challenges so daunting that most men would run from them. Overnight, K’ilah’s destiny became grander than any she could understand at such an age.

She was destined to ascend the throne as queen and pharaoh of Egypt.

Through K’ilah’s wide and ambitious eyes, a new view of ancient Egypt emerges, in which the true identity of the prophet Moses is revealed. Despite what historians say, he was not the child of slaves. Hidden papyrus text revealed Moses was actually the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten.

King Darius of Persia, Alexander the Great, Akhenaten, and his dangerous queen, Nefertiti, all play their parts in K’ilah’s strange new world. Love, sex, war, and magic are timeless elements in a story that reaches across the ages in Egyptian Gold: The Journey, the first book in Kila el Amarna’s trilogy.

Jake Boddine was a loner. He had no friends, yet always seemed to know everything that was going on in town. His only contacts were the local toughs and several from out of town who just had to challenge him. They all went home limping with their tails tucked between their legs.

One day, Jake happened to meet four slightly younger guys. This was the beginning of a relationship that led to a chain of events that staggers the imagination. It was a circle of friendship that totally changed the lives of these young men and everyone around them. It became a life of action unlimited.

The one sure thing these young men knew is that no matter how tough it got, these guys had their backs. And man, did that ever come into play over the years. They totally shared the tragedies, the fun times, and the action. They shared complete and full lives.

Some people tune cars, trucks and other machinery. Others tune pianos, organs and other musical instruments. This is the story of a man who is able to “tune” the bodies of people and animals that are very sick or very seriously injured.

Tunein’ is the fictional story of a young boy with a very special gift of healing, who too soon has to become a man. Rod Harris, a farm boy from Iowa, is involved in a series of life-changing adventures that affects the lives of many, many people, and in the process finds a trusted best friend in the form of a young architect who is on his way up the economic ladder. In an act of service, he meets the woman who will become his eternal companion, and a doctor who plays a major role in his life.

The story has plenty of intrigue and suspense, but overall is a light and very enjoyable read. There is a thread of continuity in the book that makes the novel a real page-turner, as Rod discovers that his “gift” is an ongoing one, passing from generation to generation. He also discovers, in his relationship with nurse Amy Rollins, who later becomes his wife, that he is more than just a farm boy from Iowa, and in fact, that he is destined for great things in his life.

Later in life, a revelation comes, slowly but unmistakably, that life exists after death, and he is able to give great comfort to his loved ones as he unfolds for them the experience that taught him that this principle is more than just a hope or a dream. Along the way, he encounters absolute highs and miserable lows, and achieves a balance in his life that most people never reach. Tunein’ ends in a way that will have you reaching for your box of tissues, and I think you will come away from reading the book uplifted and encouraged.
