A LIFE REWRITTEN
When Oliver Parker loses everything in a single devastating betrayal – his corporate empire, his wealth, and his trust in family – he embarks on a cross-country journey of rediscovery in a refurbished 1972 VW camper. With nothing but a camera, a journal, and the memory of his granddaughter Layla's laughter to guide him, he seeks to capture America's soul while reclaiming his own.
But fate has other plans.
A chance photograph in Utah inadvertently captures more than stunning landscapes – it reveals the face of Howard Andersen, a ruthless killer on the FBI's most-wanted list. Suddenly, Oliver's journey shifts from self-discovery into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse across seven states, with Oliver as both hunter and hunted.
As FBI agents track his movements, a shadowy counterfeit ring closes in, and a deadly killer follows his every turn, Oliver must apply his corporate strategic brilliance to a new battlefield – survival itself. His only allies: a determined FBI agent with secrets of his own, and a mysterious woman whose Bond-Moneypenny banter with Oliver evolves into something neither expected.
From the majestic Colorado Rockies to the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, from corporate penthouse to remote wilderness, Oliver's journey becomes a race against time that will test not just his survival instincts but his capacity for forgiveness, love, and redemption.
Some journeys change your destination. Others change your soul.
A LIFE REWRITTEN is a gripping tale of betrayal, adventure, and second chances that will keep readers on the edge of their seats while touching their hearts.
Shadows of the Holy Land
Coming soon in July 2025. Ebook and Paperback
In the midst of conflict, two lives collide in the most unexpected of places.
Dr. Omar, a Palestinian physician working in an underground hospital, faces an impossible choice when Israeli soldier Sarah is brought to his operating table as a wounded prisoner. As bombs fall overhead and supplies dwindle, Omar is haunted by the recent death of his seventeen-year-old sister Noor, killed in a strike on her school. Sarah, fighting for her life, carries her own grief—the loss of her grandmother Hannah to a rocket attack.
Sworn enemies by circumstance, bound together by crisis, Omar and Sarah discover a profound truth: that in the rawness of trauma and loss, humanity transcends even the deepest divisions.
What begins in an underground hospital evolves over a decade of ceasefire and conflict, hope and setback. As Omar and Sarah navigate the treacherous politics of cross-border medical cooperation, they build something unprecedented—a partnership that honors both Noor's dream of healing and Hannah's legacy of music.
The Underground Hospital is a powerful exploration of how individual acts of compassion can forge connections across seemingly insurmountable barriers. Neither a simplistic peace narrative nor a tale of star-crossed lovers, this deeply nuanced novel examines what happens when two people refuse to see each other as enemies, even as the world insists they must.
Set against the backdrop of one of the world's most intractable conflicts, this story offers no easy solutions—only the quiet insistence that in our shared humanity lies the potential for healing, both bodies and societies. For fans of Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing, this is a profound meditation on the possibility of building bridges in broken places.
What Happened to Hospitality
Coming soon in June 2025. Ebook and Paperback
In this groundbreaking examination of the hospitality industry, a former CEO reveals how exceptional service has been systematically dismantled—and provides the roadmap for its renaissance.*
From the golden age of service to today's standardized transactions, this meticulously researched work documents the regulatory changes, ownership transformations, and operational decisions that have fundamentally altered the guest experience. Drawing on extensive data spanning four decades, the author presents a compelling case that service excellence hasn't become obsolete—it's been deliberately abandoned.
What you'll discover:
* How regulatory deregulation and financial engineering created the conditions for service decline
* Why contemporary hospitality organizations cannot deliver the experiences they continue to market
* How exceptional organizations maintain service distinction despite industry trends
* The compelling business case proving service excellence generates rather than consumes financial value
* A practical framework for rebuilding service capability at both organizational and individual levels
Whether you're a hospitality leader seeking competitive advantage, a service professional navigating industry constraints, or a discerning traveler wondering why experiences have changed, this essential read provides unparalleled insight into hospitality's greatest challenge—and its most promising opportunity.
