Black Mariah is based on a true story of the events that led to a car bombing. The personality that claimed to be the bomber dubbed him/herself ‘The Lord’s Avenger.’ The central character, Robert Devine, is the witness throughout as he tries to do the right thing in an increasingly dangerous world. Thus begins his quest to find the Lord’s Avenger.
In the two volume The Young Mathematicians, the ‘hero’ of Black Mariah, Robert Devine, leaves his longtime home: Humboldt County, California. He travels to Costa Rica with no intention except to escape from his past, his grief and to write poetry. He meets a younger woman whose qualities as a painter attracts his attention. Their child Dominic, a child prodigy mathematician, joins three other young mathematicians to solve the Nightmare Problem and save civilization.
The second book sees Robert now transformed into a Evangelical minister called John Vine leading a global congregation into the Final Revelation – Forever After. Truth, if it exists, begins with the perfection of logic and leads to the creation of a new paradigm. The Young Mathematicians and their new algorithm predict a future of love and kindness. The historians and the mathematicians combine the past and the future to describe a new old idea of where this imaginary future will be based as the planet’s human safe habitat shrinks.
The third book is about the rediscovery of the Gates of Eden, the Great Departure and the end of time. The final acts of humanity bring into view the experience of death of every human devised dichotomy. In the last scenes belief dies in favor of the blinding truth that there is only one being and the history humans knew was entirely imaginary.
The Old Man is a New York stand-up comedian who works the coffee shops’ late-night open mike sessions. As he tries to bring his act into line with the modern need to be taken seriously, he discovers a world no one suspected existed. Give him a chance and he will tell you all about it. Remember: Be surprised.
The Last Free Man is about an academic mathematician with a ‘degree’ in spy craft who meets a real spy with a degree in survival. They meet in a mountain region of Afghanistan shortly after an assassination changes the risk the US faces in responding to the 911 attacks that occur a few days later. Jack Martel, the academic, decides Harry the spy was his worse enemy and after years of running from everything he could imagine he settles in the Stone City: Quebec.
In the beginning there was chaos and from this chaos humans made myths of gods and goddesses who ruled the seven heavens. From these myths grew the power to conquer others.
This story begins in a time of assassins who ruled the planet and nearby space. It was the apex of humanity. Hell was not far ahead.
A savior was needed. It wasn’t Jack alone but in a time of inspiration he discovers The Great Bliss. Then his doorbell started ringing. And then the people, mostly strangers ask for his help to find the ferry.

I wrote these books almost entirely at Oncle Antoines before and during the pandemic. Most of the characters are or were villagers from Ville Vieux Quebe. I leave their names in just for my memory.
Nobody could be any of the 100,000’s of people in the street, living in the street. It doesn’t look fun. The faces are hard to look at but one never knows what is in there behind the eyes. That’s why when the homeless Viet Nam vets began to smile everyone noticed.
Sarge was the first smiler. He went to Goodwill and bought a tuxedo suit to replace his tattered military-esk outfit. He wore a tie. He met a woman. He had a partner. He wore the suits. He found a girl. They all called themselves the Smilers.
The Nobodies, Smilers, Watchers, and Memory rise to protect their fellow homeless vets against a gang of neo-Nazis who control the tubes of the BART system in San Francisco, California.
The second book continues the story until the corrupt police forces are defeated and a new political culture is created. A murderous gang leader stages a mass murder to get attention. The Smilers and a police detective uncover the murderers.
The last book overlaps the first two following the life of the police detective who helped the Nobodies win their fight against a european criminal gang who have kidnapped for ransom and killed for money and now threaten the City itself.
Radioman has taken over the Bay Bridge. Dick Tracy fights the battle of his life as the future in The Bay Area turned bizarre.
They spoke English to their students. They spoke German to each other. They spoke the languages of Mathematics, Physics and Philosophy. They were closest friends. When Albert died, Kurt continued with the work that moved them both. His death ended the results of their common effort to understand the universe.
The year after Kurt followed Albert, Kurt’s department head chose four students to review the work of Kurt. Kurt was a hoarder. He had receipts for his personal laundry going back to his college years when he lived in Europe. Albert left Europe before Kurt and found in Princeton and its Institute for Advanced Studies a new home for his physics projects. Kurt agreed and years later when staying in Europe was not wise for him, he left for a position at the IAS.
The four graduate students were shown Kurt’s office, given the keys and told to find whatever was of interest in Kurts hoarded papers. They found a machine for time travel.
Silence of the Elders is both mystical and cruel. A gangster’s mistress writes a book about her gangster lover’s life. The book is suppressed by the gangster but not before a copy finds its way into a bookstore in San Francisco owned by one of the gangster’s minor partners. The story follows the bookstore owner’s life, a secret affair he has with a woman in La Paz, Mexico and the re-discovery of the book.
La Paz is a magic town in its own right. The bay that makes La Paz a tourist trap has kept many travelers from leaving. Viejo the ‘hero,’ the bookstore owner from the US, was not unusual in La Paz. Except that when he was in his 20’s when he first came to town, he fell in love for the first time with a nun from the cathedral’s monastery.
He visits her twice a year for two weeks. He pretends to be a priest. She pretends to be a nun. They pretend to be hiding from God.

It’s a happy story of love and ambition. Except when a candidate for Governor, Blanche, is kidnapped as a political stunt. The lawsuit against the State yields billions. The lawyer becomes the President, and the now rich Blanche starts a global marketplace called Blanche. It’s more than a store it’s a new form of nation and it’s reach goes beyond the Moon.
Then there was Global Climate Change.
What happens when a writer’s book in progress, a narrative about his lover, leaps from the real to the imaginary. The story follows the writer and his lover as they travel from the woods of Michigan to the shores of Florida and then to Cuba. The writer writes while his lover and acquaintances become the characters, and his characters become criminals. A crime is committed in reality. A crime requires a solution even if it is imaginary.
The Pirate’s Cove is the scene in which the mafia, the Cubans and the tourists from Michigan meet to eat and enjoy Happy Hour. Everything is a party until a brilliant criminal from California meets an over the hill FBI agent looking for a way out to start his life again. That’s when things went wrong.
