Corinne and Me
"Corinne and Me: An Unlikely Friendship" is a story of an abiding friendship that crossed racial lines, an unbreakable bond that developed against the odds. We came from different worlds-Corinne from the poor, black section of Memphis, me from a wealthy white family in Memphis that forged success from the automobile business. But we came together in a place that knows no boundaries. We met in the heart. I grew up in Memphis in the 1960s, a decade of tremendous turmoil in our country. Corinne came to work for my family in 1959 when I was five years old. We developed a friendship the moment she lifted me off the ground and sat me on the kitchen counter to tell me about the pearly gates of Heaven. From that point on she became my spiritual teacher, my comforter, and my protector. Our unbreakable bond surpassed the turmoil of the times. And though years have passed and she is no longer here, she remains my conscience. "Corinne and Me: An Unlikely Friendship" not only addresses segregation among races, but segregation among mankind as a whole. It addresses the impact addiction has on families, the havoc it wreaks from one generation to the next. It addresses the impact of the loss of loved ones, as well as the mistake we so too often make by not saying "I love you" or "thank you" to those we love. People who have lived such experiences will discover there is hope.
The Weapon
Veronica Stone is a technology genius and inventor of the groundbreaking holographic cell phone. Her phone is harmless, an entertaining bit of high-tech wizardry, until it falls into the wrong hands. She is unaware of a wasting disease, invented by a Cold War Russian scientist, who lacked the technology to make his illness take effect. Now, years after the Cold War, a nefarious Japanese businessman somehow has gotten his hands on this scientist's notes, but he requires Veronica's phone to enact his horrific plan. He employs Veronica's invention to create a new and virtually indestructible weapon the world has never seen. Of course, she realizes none of this when she is seduced by the businessman's offer of fortune and fame by agreeing to give him the application of her invention. After making this agreement, she is soon framed for the attempted murder of the president of the United States, so Veronica is on the run, in search of a cure for the horrible disease she unknowingly helped to weaponize. Veronica will need more than her intellect to clear her name; she'll need calm calculation and bravery to save her nation, her family, and her life.
A Capital Offense
Life smiles on Connie Brandon: law degree nearly in hand, a loving husband and two wonderful kids, a vibrant faith in God in a quiet Missouri town. But her quiet family life is rocked when her husband, Jack, turns up dead in the Missouri River -- a suicide, police say -- and then another woman claims to have been his mistress. Although grief-stricken, Connie's sharp legal mind locks on to the belief that her husband was murdered for his staunch opposition to riverboat gambling in the Missouri capital of Jefferson City. Yet as she searches for the truth, secrets about Jack emerge -- secrets of a past cloaked in riddles and danger; secrets that threaten her faith and her life unless she can piece it all together in time.
