The concepts in The Economic Mission ended starvation in an extremely impoverished town. Jim Weber built a modern textile factory in the isolated town of Praville, Haiti where starvation was rampant. There were no other factories within 60 miles. In spite of not having electricity, paved roads or running water, the factory paid 104 employees a significant wage and was still able to win customers from sweatshops. Fortune 500 companies ordered shirts by the shipping container. The Economic Mission mixes his personal anecdotes, the lessons he learned and reveals how he did it. The ripple effect of weekly payroll sustained the entire town. Starvation diminished and thousands of the town's citizens were climbing out of extreme poverty as defined by the UN. These concepts are applicable to other missions and countries worldwide. As Haiti slid into disarray, a terrorist group destroyed the factory on September 6, 2022, but Jim is continuing his mission.

Haunted by nightmares, tormented by the past, struggling constantly to keep his professional life from affecting his family, veteran police detective Sam Cain is on the verge of leaving the force when he is asked to investigate a series of seemingly related murders, an investigation that he realizes could bring him face to face with his own darkest fears. Set in Austin in the early1980s, Jehovah is a character-driven, psychologically complex mystery/crime drama. Sam Cain, against his every instinct, agrees to head the investigation into a series of apparent vigilante murders committed by a killer who writes taunting letters to the police and media proclaiming himself the Old Testament God of retribution. As the body count rises and Sam is drawn deeper into the hunt for a killer who may be something of a Jekyll-and-Hyde-unrecognizable in the daytime and impalpable at night-he realizes that he must pursue this faceless killer while at the same time confronting his own internal demons, until he finally discovers the shattering truth of the killer's identity. Jehovah will appeal to readers of literate mysteries. Advance readers have compared the voice and style of the novel to those of both Ian Rankin, whose protagonist is also a veteran homicide detective who battles inner demons, and Dennis Lehane. Set against the background of Austin's explosive growth, the investigation of admitted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, and the public debate over the newly-reinstituted death penalty, Jehovah explores themes of duality, the mystery and complexity of the human mind, and the desire for justice versus the impulse for retribution, combining elements of Zodiac, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Oedipus Rex
