Here’s the set-up:

Casual Choices: Causal Choices is the story of one young man coming of age in the 1960s as he journeys from exile and isolation to reconnect and embrace, if he can, with a life he long thought lost. Over the period of one week, Jeremiah Joshua “Josh” Connelly seeks to come to terms with his authentic self, with a past he tried desperately to repress, and with many people in his life he ignored for so long. His story takes us deep into the scars left by a war that tore America apart in the 1960s, and which left an indelible mark on many who lived in that turbulent era. It is a story of the invisible and neglected victims of that war, or any war.

Here’s the set-up:

After one beer with him in Tel Aviv, Nilly can’t stop thinking about Sebastian, even though she wishes she could. A relationship with this blonde, blue-eyed hunk would be impossible. He’s German, maybe the grandson of Nazis; she’s the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors whose mother boycotts German products. He’s in Israel on a musical peace mission; she was born in Ariel, an Israeli city in the West Bank that he considers an obstacle to peace.

Nilly fights her attraction to the “German,” but this Dresden-native is just too nice—and hot—to boycott. A few dates at Tel Aviv hot spots lead to a cross-cultural, steamy romance that eventually forces them both to break taboos, challenge prejudices, and uncover family secrets.

Spanning the vibrant nightlife and cultural scenes of Berlin and Tel Aviv in the shadow of rising terror in Europe, UNDERSKIN is a rare breed of literary erotica exploring the intricacies of romantic relationships amidst religious, cultural, and political differences.

Here’s the set-up:

Award-winning author of The Otherness Factor takes us to Detroit during the turbulence of the Sixties.

Detroit,––July 25, 1967, two days after Detroit cops raid a blind pig (speakeasy) inciting the biggest race riot in American history. Maggie Soulier wakes to a deejay’s cry for ‘anyone left in the city’ to hustle pop to police sweltering at highway checkpoints leading into the firestorm.

Maggie’s not a hippie chick looking for a cause, she’s the daughter of notorious French Canadian secessionist radicals who disappeared without a trace. A grad student on a visa, Maggie covers absences at a pizzeria to support her stateside civil rights work. Delivering soft drinks to keep armed men from having a meltdown sounded simple. That was before she met Sam Tervo on the wrong side of a gun––before she offered him a Coke, before shared laughter ricocheted against shrieking sirens and a darkening sky.

Sam, a fierce human rights advocate, thinks he’s being targeted by mafia types who want something; the question is what. More and more he relies on his friend Clyde Webster, a black civil rights leader and Maggie’s co-worker, to guide him through this underworld. Cold sober in the ash, soot and rubble, Clyde pulls together The Eights: eight working-poor, part-time activists, to curb white flight and integrate the burbs. Maggie and Sam, the token whites.

With the intrigue, corruption, brutality and bigotry, Maggie, Sam, Clyde and The Eights experience the love, laughter, irony and self-reflection of blacks and whites redefining friendship and transforming the world with pocket change.
