An epidemic of fear and mistrust grips the nation's capital. A seemingly random series of errors and misjudgments on the part of the Washington elite have sent the world spiraling toward war and environmental disaster Meanwhile, two accomplished Hawaiian shamans, O'e Kalani and Aunt Betty, sense a sinister design in the bleak mosaic of current events. They believe a dangerous and powerful intelligence is at work behind the scenes, manipulating weak minds and orchestrating the erosion of international peace and harmony. With the patience borne of millennia spent watching and waiting, this intelligence has carefully and methodically been pursuing its own agenda for the future of the planet, an agenda that has no place for mankind. Having no clear idea of what he is up against and lacking any inkling as to how he might help, Elvis is again called into service on behalf of the planet and humanity. The saga that began with The Return of the King comes full circle in this third and last novel in the Elvis series as the prodigal son returns, anonymous and unknown, to where it all began: Memphis, Tennessee. It is here that he will be called upon to confront his greatest fear and to fulfill a destiny he could never have imagined.
A young man sets out on a quest to find his biological father. Along the way, he falls in with a plucky band of environmental activists, who call themselves eco-ops, operating in the wilds of Orange County. Each one among them possesses unique abilities. And one is The Dreameran individual with a singular destiny: to weave, at a sub-conscious level, the totality of present and past world events. The murder of a prominent industrialist and Orange County developer catapults eco-ops into motion. Investigating the murder while trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities, eco-ops uncovers a nefarious plot to overthrow the government. A cynical, wealthy televangelist is engaged in a power grab to implement his sociopathic agenda and impose it on unsuspecting millions. Can eco-ops expose the plot before he and his minions can close the deal? Sleeping Gods is a mystical adventure thriller combining action and reflection, humor and pathos. It finds unlikely heroes and dastardly villains on a collision course in a world where reality is inextricably intertwined with the magical and mythical.
Washed-up seventies glam rock star and British expat, Harrington Gloss, has been contracted to write a fantasy novel. As the deadline looms, he is at a loss as to how to begin, never having written a novel before in his life. Help arrives when he ducks into the Gryphon’s Claw Cafe one fateful evening. There he meets a prickly rock diva, Kincaid McAllister, and inspiration begins to take hold. The would-be writer embarks on a fantastical tale about a scarred and battle-hardened medieval knight-errant, Sir Fenmar of Raventry, the preeminent warrior of the age. Sir Fenmar is sent on an improbable quest into the Jagged Mountains by Princess Isabella of Castle Splendour. His assignment? To locate a mythical dragon she believes can save the kingdom from a mysterious calamity that has befallen it. So begins a serpentine and scaly saga, which parallels and finally intersects its writer’s own story as it builds to a climax, pitting its heroes against a diabolical evil and impossibly long odds as the fate of the world hangs precariously in the balance. As the hero, Sir Fenmar, is given a final shot at redemption, can his hapless author, Harrington Gloss, find a way to transform his own destiny? “The novel’s unique blend of genres and its charismatic protagonist make it a standout in contemporary fiction.” --The Literary Reporter on Angels’ Keep
A visitor from beyond the solar system is planet shopping. A member of a dying species, he is looking for new real estate to annex. He finds it on planet earth. The task of preventing the total annihilation of the human species falls to two unlikely people-- an entertainer and a recovering vampiress. The entertainer is none other than the King himself, Elvis Presley, who is alive and well and currently living incognito on the Big Island of Hawaii. The vampire is his sultry and mysterious longtime girlfriend, Desdemona.
A brush fire consumes the Malibu home of socially challenged, best selling sci fi writer Buckminster Brand Sinclair. Succumbing to the impassioned entreaties of his literary agent, he reluctantly agrees to take a temporary hiatus from writing and finds himself on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacifi c, ostensibly for some much needed rest and relaxation. He meets there an intriguing group of ex-pats from different corners of the world. What they share in common is a potent secret. The Komodo Cafe chronicles Buckminsters initiation into the mysteries of Empyrean Island and its inhabitants. But what he discovers about his new found neighbors pales in comparison to what he begins to realize about himself in this comic adventure thriller from the author of the Elvis trilogy and Sleeping Gods.
Inflation became the dominant economic, social, and political problem of the industrialized West during the 1970s. This book is about how the inflation came to pass and what can be done about it. Certain to provoke controversy, it is a major source of new empirical information and theoretical conclusions concerning the causes of international inflation. The authors construct a consistent data base of information for eight countries and design a theoretically sound model to test and evaluate competing hypotheses incorporating the most recent theoretical developments. Additional chapters address an impressive variety of issues that complement and corroborate the core of the study. They answer such questions as these: Can countries conduct an independent monetary policy under fixed exchange rates? How closely tied are product prices across countries? How are disturbances transmitted across countries? The International Transmission of Inflation is an important contribution to international monetary economics in furnishing an invaluable empirical foundation for future investigation and discussion.
