Zahira's Jihad
Zahira Athar, a young woman of Baghdad, is unwittingly ensnared in an Islamic extremist plot to assassinate the Vice President of the United States. The assassin, her cousin Fahad Djebbar, uses Zahira to cover his terrorist identity and advance the plot by persuading her to leave Baghdad with him to study in the U.S., he at Georgetown University, and she at the site of the planned assassination, St. Martins College in Maryland. As Zahira pursues studies at St. Martins and the VPs visit approaches, she realizes that the VPs Secret Service team leader, Owen Michelson suspects Fahad is a terrorist and may suspect her as well. Yet in interviews with him, Zahira is deeply attracted to Owen and knows he is equally compelled by her. Torn by her longing for Owen and relentlessly mounting doubts about Fahad, Zahira determines to find the truth about her cousin and if she must, dissuade him from terrorism. Her efforts are savagely thwarted by Amir, Fahads Iraqi control, who has murdered and stolen a St. Martins students identity. Amir kidnaps Zahira and forces Fahad, now beginning to reject his terrorist mission, to come to St. Martins and proceed with the assassination. In an explosive climax, the lives of three children and countless civilians hang in the balance, and in spite of college supporters and Owens attempts to save her, Zahira must make her jihad alone.

Preceding humankind-known history, there exist worlds unlike the world we know of. During this period, genetically altered beings rule over humanity with an iron hand, catapulting humanity into a new age of advanced civilizations throughout the continents. Unto this age, a child is born, an orphaned girl, Zahira. After the genocide of her people, the Azmarians, she was chosen to bring peace back to a dark land by claiming the weapon, Koryan, and waging war against the malevolent Blackstar in the person of Rathamun, an extradimensional evil that has blanketed the earth with its autocratic existence. She is the last of her kind, a young girl raised in a harsh world of oppression, bigotry, and ignorance. Despite the odds and uncertainties she faces, all this will mark her beginning on a perilous journey that will challenge man's pride. Within these pages, you will traverse into the depths of an age mirroring our day. An age marked by greed and endless affliction against the weak. You will witness an orphaned heroine determined to bring it all to an end as she live and breathe the words, The sanctity of all life shall be lionized, the honor of the innocent esteemed and the abolition of inequity swift.
The Storm
"Shahryar, a recent PhD graduate and father of nine-year-old Anna, must leave the US when his visa expires. In their last remaining weeks together, we learn Shahryar's history, in a village on the Bay of Bengal, where a poor fisherman and his wife are preparing to face a storm of historic proportions. That story intersects with those of a Japanese pilot, a British doctor stationed in Burma during World War II, and a privileged couple in Calcutta who leaves everything behind to move to East Pakistan following the partition of India"--
