The memories were more eerie and frightening to some. They instilled fear of a fresh nuclear catastrophe. One of the fishermen was approached by a former high-ranking intelligence official from the Nazi regime for information on the bombers' past, prompting him to alert the British Secret Service counterpart in MI6. During the Cold War, there were increasing tensions and secrecy was paramount. The area was visited by MI6 who arranged for the dive, both agents posing as and wearing marine archaeology wear.However, the bomb was not there, it had been removed by a group of terrorists led by one of the bombers former crew. There followed a cloak and dagger chase through the picturesque Norfolk Broads to find the device, and capture or kill the group, whose target was no lesser person than the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson.Deadliest Cargo is a fictional work that draws on accounts, records, and testimony from personnel working on the A Bomb in 1944. It is somber reading for those who still believe in fiction of the James Bond films.

"The Occurrence" tells the story of the next six years of one ordinary American family's life as they navigate the choppy waters of our legal and penal system, and is an honest, painful, angry, sad, and sometimes painfully funny exploration of the transition from one life to another. The guilt, shame, and moral injury of having unintentionally caused the death of another human being remains always, but there is some measure of hope and healing to be found in the grace, compassion, and support from others who are living through similar experiences. "The Occurrence" is a cry of anguish from the heart of a mother who desperately wants her story to prevent this from happening to anyone else, but with the sad knowledge that we seldom learn from the mistakes of others. A memoir of loss and grief, a cautionary tale, and a melancholy farewell to a past forever gone and a future that will never be, "The Occurrence" is a warning that no matter how safe, secure, and certain you feel in the trajectory of your life, it would only take an instant to bring you to your knees. But with love, faith, and courage you can move forward into a new normal. There is no sense in looking back, because we're not going that way.

A show business romance crossing 7000 miles and 70 years, Broadway Melody lands securely in the confines of Times Square and the Theater District, as a crackerjack trumpet player and a blue-collar spotlight operator vie for the love of an aspiring ingenue who holds them both in thrall for their entire lifetimes. Filled with theater lore and history, vivid characters both real and imagined, and a great number of songs in its heart, this novel delivers the ultimate valentine to Broadway then and now. For more than a century the Broadway theater has been a landing strip for characters on the run - from their upbringing, from the unwelcoming communities they grew up in, even from their parents. So it seems for the obsessively gifted trumpet player Ike Harris, who leaves behind a most peculiar childhood and a chaotic life on the road for the orchestra pit of the Winter Garden Theater. There, in the dark confines beneath the stage he falls hopelessly in love with a young ingenue in a catastrophic flop that leaves all concerned searching for happier outcomes. All, that is, except for Vincent Donnelly, who has been training his number two follow spot on the very same young performer - Aurora Shelton - and wishing he could fall through its lighted beam and land securely against her heart. Vincent, it first appears, gets what he wants. Or perhaps not. Broadway Melody traces three lives through the early ambitions and unlikely pathways that landed all of them in the same place at the same time - 1960s Broadway. Woven through its pages are the hits and flops, the making and breaking of careers, the destruction of three historic theater buildings, the plague of AIDS, the machinations of union bosses and producers, and, of course, the world outside this insular community - the audience that looks to Broadway for emotional thrills, for enlightenment, and for pure entertainment. Laced with humor and sadness, portraits of historical characters from The Street and a long view of the rise, fall and revival of Times Square itself, Broadway Melody stitches three lives - and three hearts - into the fabric of an endlessly compelling tale of the American theater.
