A Boy, an Orphanage, a Cuban Refugee: The Road to Freedom
by Tony Dora
Why would parents send their children, unescorted, to a foreign country with no guarantee they would see each other again? Most parents would do whatever it takes to safeguard their children's safety. No price is ever too steep. Thus, Cuban parents started sending their offspring, secretly, to the United States. Those who were deemed guilty of such a crime were imprisoned. Some were executed.
This is a story of overcoming life's many ordeals, while remaining steadfast in the resolve to rise above the hardship.

A Charter Through Time
She takes on a new life that she loves, chartering her 60-foot yacht that was a gift from her wealthy father. An experienced large boat captain, Janey has found a cure for the high stress work of her former occupation. She also found a cure for her loneliness when she met the man of her dreams by a chance encounter in a diner.
Jack Fleming is a famous novelist and loves his work, and soon finds out that he loves Janey, his accidental friend from the diner. He and Janey fall impossibly in love with each other and found a way to blend their lives—cruising the high seas and writing about it.
Janey has taken on the role as Jack's editor and she couldn't be happier. But suddenly their happy lives together take on a frightening new dimension. While cruising off New London, Connecticut, their boat encounters a wormhole or time portal, and they find themselves two years into the future, a horrifying future that had seen a nuclear war.
They find out that their apartment building in Manhattan was the target for one of the bombs. Yes, they discover that they had been killed, two years ago. But yet, they're alive.
Time travel is a strange phenomenon, and sometimes a scary one. They realize that they have no choice. They must return to the past and warn the government about the coming horror. They begin the most terrifying experience of their lives—how to go back in time and prevent your own death, and the deaths of millions of others.

A Climate of Doubt: Book Four of The Matt Blake Mysteries
Bellamy and the rest of the government struggled to cope with the suddenly new climate, but to cope, they first had to find out what happened. Scientists from academia blamed the weather on a sudden acceleration of climate change, but they were unable to explain a 60-degree temperature drop in a matter of minutes. Two astronauts in an American space station realized that the sudden weather calamity coincided with a test of the 20 satellites that the space station controlled.
Attention focused on a huge American corporation that owned the space station and the satellites. Could there be a connection between the satellite tests and the radical drop in temperature? As the deaths piled up and the world economy tilted toward disaster because of gigantic summer blizzards, Rick Bellamy and his team struggled to find answers before it was too late. Was it a sudden shift in climate change or did it have something to do with the satellites? The biggest question remained—was the catastrophe an accident, or was somebody controlling the weather? Was it terror?
Bundle up and get this page-turning thriller. You' re in for a wild ride. It's Book Four of the Matt Blake Series. Matt and Dee Blake take on their biggest challenge to date, along with our old friends, Rick and Ellen Bellamy.

Ranging from the literary to the apocalyptical, it is a journey through the themes of crime, 1960's culture, rock music, and love.
