Book Description
Savannah, 1864. Confederate Captain Patrick Driscoll and his dear friend and manservant Shadrack "Shad" Bryan leave their tearful families to help fight for the Southern cause. They are to set up fort at Raccoon Island off Georgia's coast in a last-ditch effort to save their beloved city from Union attack. But only days into their assignment, the two men die in each other's arms in a Yankee bombardment. Though the men are gone, their legacy will live on-as will the legend of the priceless Driscoll family treasure the two men have buried on Raccoon Island. Four generations after the Civil War, many Confederate families still remain in Savannah, struggling through the twentieth-century in a South rife with hardball politics, personal vendettas and the hangover of war. John-Morgan Hartman, son of a newspaper man and great-great grandson of Captain Patrick Driscoll, goes to serve his country in Vietnam, unaware of the physical and psychological wounds that will befall him... Tony O'Boyle is an ambitious young politician who will stop at nothing and spare no one to get ahead-but his family's dark past will come back to haunt him... Lloyd Bryan, descended from slaves, is determined to succeed where his ancestors didn't. But his celebrity as a professional football player immerses him in a world of temptation that ultimately turns him toward religion... Charlotte Drayton, a successful television reporter, has always used her beauty to get her way-but the one man she can't have is the only one she wants... After many years, four friends will meet on the very island where the two confederate soldiers died in each other's arms. To find where they buried Driscoll's treasure-and to uncover the dangerous secrets of a prominent Savannah family. A gripping novel of history, intrigue, war, and love, Delirium of the Brave follows four generations of families contemplating the pain of the past and the promise of the future. Get swept away by this glorious saga rich with the sights, sounds, flavors, and people of the South's most stunning locale.

Book Description
When Marvin Broudstein is killed by a bus, he assumes that’s it, he’s just…dead. But he soon discovers death is a little more complicated than he thought. In an alternate world, he re-connects with a college buddy who perished in a plane crash and finds a new friend in a young hippie who has been dead since the sixties. Marvin is trying to learn the ropes in this new and strange world, but thoughts of his fiancée, Jenna Wilson, drive him to distraction. Partly because he blames her for his untimely death, but mostly because he misses her so much, he wants to kill her. Unfortunately, some pesky rules still apply and Marvin is confronted with an agonizing choice—let Jenna live, or face a gruesome eternity.

Book Description
Love and Hope is an engaging true story about an incredible forty-year love affair. “Happily ever after” does not mean there are no tears. Death is sandwiched between vibrant lives. This incredible love story begins in LA when a Hollywood Jewish man meets a lustfully youthful woman. He dates the wealthy and influential, and she’s a younger Christian woman from the Midwest. This story reveals how life changes from a happenstance meeting and changes again when one of them is no longer there. It is a story of hope and renewal because of, not in spite of, tremendous sorrow. Women read romance stories because they long for passionate, life-changing love and happy endings. They are searching for romance after marriage in their ordinary life. This love story is about life after marriage, a tenderness which gives a glow to the ordinary, mundane things we all live with every day. It gives people hope that mediocre relationships do not have to be the norm. “This memoir is compelling, and as I read her love story, I experienced her joy and her pain. The ‘Helpful Suggestions’ addendum is priceless.” —Ken Rotcop, award-winning author and screenplay writer (www.pitchmart.com).
