Book Description
The hero of this historical novel is Martin Olden. The story is set against the researched facts of Magellans voyage to Asia. In 1494 the division of the globe into two spheres of influence, between Portugal and Spain, left a vital question unanswered: which countrys sphere encompassed Asia particularly the fabulously wealthy Spice Islands? In 1519 Captain-General Ferdinand Magellan led a Spanish expedition, sailing westwards, to disprove Portugals claim to the Spice Islands and establish that much of the rest of Asia were Spains possessions. The voyage saw a series of dramatic events - by the time Magellans fleet reached the Magellan Strait, mutinies had left all his Spanish Captains dead or marooned and there was appalling deprivation on the long voyage across the unexpectedly vast Pacific to the Philippines. It was there that Magellan, disregarding the Spanish kings orders, attacked Lapulapu a local ruler of Mactan Island. Prior to being captured on Mactan Island, Martin Olden helped Princess Lalu, Chief Lapulapus half-sister, a skilful healer and powerful Shaman when she was assaulted by Santos a misogynistic Spanish sailor. Captured by Lapulapus warriors, Martin subsequently witnessed the fate of Magellan and fell in love with Lalu.

Book Description
An Indian rebellion occurred in Sonora during Coronado's expedition in search of El Dorado. Three Spanish conquistadors were reported killed in the uprising, but only two of the bodies were ever accounted for. Did that missing body later cause a strange war between two continents? Serpent Wind is the story of a renegade conquistador, Don Diego de Alcaraz a.k.a. Carazal. After escaping from the North American wilderness in the early 1540's, he conspires with agents of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to hijack the entire Spanish treasure fleet the Flota Plata of 1553 as it voyaged back to Spain with the gold, silver, and emeralds of the New World. The Flota Plata of 1553 was struck by a violent hurricane just after it transited Havana. Most of the galleons were lost in the tempest, their golden treasures swallowed by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Three galleons were shipwrecked on the barrier islands of Texas, with approximately three hundred survivors. Only two of these castaways survived to record the grim fate of the lost treasure fleet for history. Serpent Wind is a fictional tale that weaves through three true stories from the earliest history of North American exploration the adventure of Cabeza de Vaca, the expedition of Coronado, and the shipwreck of the Spanish treasure fleet of 1553. It also details the bizarre, brutal war that this shipwreck spawned. Serpent Wind provides insights into forgotten episodes from American history, and also offers intriguing perspectives on issues of cultural conflict. Ultimately, Serpent Wind is a literary tale of primitive justice, from the earliest recorded history of the land we call Texas.

Book Description
An imaginary historical tale set in the historic civilizations of East Asia, "The Dream of AO" depicts the challenges of a moral and ethical life, the fight for equality and the human drive for purpose. The backdrop is the clash and convergence of four vastly different peoples, each claiming cultural superiority. It is also a romantic tale of the genuine love of three couples who bridge these cultural divides. At the heart of the story is an epic mental battle of survival between two leaders of warring peoples, one led by a woman of superior intelligence and insight versus her deadly opponent, a man of extreme cunning. The fictional events and characters convey classical themes of courage and treachery, love and hate and the power of redemption and deep motivations of revenge. This story of creative and fanciful imagination is the detailed recitation of a "dream" by a young man called "AO" who lived on the south-eastern edge of the Indian subcontinent. The "dream" was told through the words of professional storytellers, itinerant preachers, and mystics with powerful memories and magical verbal skills. Audiences would sit quietly for hours, even days, absorbing every word of the tale. Epic stories memorized and recited for centuries in the oral tradition eventually appeared in writings. The narrator of this story, called Akshay, a distant descendant of AO, assumes the task to write the entire story in precise detail, faithfully reproducing into a written manuscript every word as spoken by trained storytellers for hundreds of years.

Book Description
Two men of God left Spain for the new world. One of them was a fully ordained member of the elite Jesuit society, and the other was his protégé. The faith of the Jesuit was deeply ingrained and unwavering, while the faith of his student was weak and questionable at best. They each left Spain with different goals. The goal of the Jesuit was to save the souls of the pagan tribes thought to occupy west central Florida, while the goal of the youth was exploration and adventure. The apprentice had witnessed horrific events as a child, events that were approved and encouraged by the church and the inquisition. He would later witness events that would destroy his fragile faith and turn his life in a completely different direction. He became a realist. Although he still searched for truth and honor, he was convinced he would not find it in the teachings and actions of the Jesuits or the Spanish. He renounced his heritage, and the teachings of the Jesuits became irrelevant. He would find his truth and honor in the most unlikely of places, among the so-called pagan savages called the Calusa.
