Fresh Prospects: Another Excerpt From “Camelot Lost”

She was a transfer from LSU New Orleans, who had complained about the rigid rules at the nearby four-year college, Northridge State, which refused to give her credit for several of the freshman classes that she took in Louisiana, including biology. This put her in Zoology as Pierce didn’t offer a biology class, a dilemma about which she seemed quite snooty on my first contact with her. I tried again to break the ice. Her clever approach to dissection was worthy of further comment.

The couple soon find they need help dealing with the new government and its hostile police. To them it feels like a version of the post-Civil War South, blended with McCarthyism. Their quest gets them imprisoned for espionage.

Another Excerpt From My Newest: Death Lover

Dr. LeRoy Haines has just received a woman’s femur discovered in the Everglades. His search reveals more unrelated bones.

Dr. Haines recently transitioned from internal medicine to forensic pathology, and is the newly medical examiner for Monroe County, Florida, which encompasses the Everglades and the Florida Keys.

After a python hunter discovered the bone and turned it in, the doctor organizes a search for more specimens, finding two more limbs and a skull. Again, all the remains are unrelated. Who or what is responsible for the deaths?

A break in the case comes when an intact female skeleton is discovered in the southernmost headquarters of Everglades National Park. The victim is the former secretary of Dr. Clayton Talmadge, chief of pathology at Kendall Hospital, and known for his idiosyncratic beliefs.

Written by a physician, the plot of Death Lover: Investigating Murder in a New Scientific Era offers fascinating insight into modern forensics. The Death Lover is unforgettable.

Another Excerpt From “The Bookmen”

The summer of 1965 is a pivotal time in American history. As the Vietnam War expands toward its ultimate heavy American involvement, the Watts Riots presage the urban unrest of the late 1960s.

This insightful novel follows newlywed couple Max and Jan King, who have just graduated college and are both preparing to start med school at MCLA, a former osteopathic college in East Los Angeles. Max returns to his summer job selling encyclopedias door-to-door, while Jan works in the school’s lab.

Max’s long work hours create a gap in the couple’s previous 24/7 harmonious relationship, which becomes strained due to their incompatible work times. He hangs out a lot with his friend, Art Burton, a brainy Stanford pre-law graduate, who has encyclopedic knowledge of current events and warns about America’s creep toward a full commitment fighting in Vietnam. Max is also exposed to the enticement of drug use and the free love era. This story is truly a Requiem for the Sixties.
