There is no hero's welcome for combat veteran, Jim Montgomery, when he returns from World War II to a family in disarray. His father is dying; his mother threatens to leave; and, their Colorado cattle ranch has fallen on hard times. Jim's younger brother, Massey, and sister, Samantha, seek an easier lifestyle than working on the family ranch. Eventually this leaves only Jim's youngest brother, Randy, as his one loyal sibling. Jim must devote his life to Randy and to the ranch, with no time to recover from the war. Romance blooms when he meets a beautiful widow who "inspires" him. And in his "senior" years, Jim is enthralled by a struggling Indian woman and her daughter. Yet, for every step forward, there are steps backwards as his deserting siblings return to demand more from Jim's ranch profits. Worse, when fortune evolves from Jim's hard work, his estate is threatened by Massey and Samantha. In spite of the odds, Jim strives to be a good man to all who come his way.

In 1976 a simple real estate transaction affected my life forever. "Brown's Cabins" on the North Fork of Long Island became "Hellenic Cabins & Snack Bar." My father, a Greek immigrant, poured his efforts into the Snack Bar portion of the business. Unaware of his incredible, gifted palate, he created a landmark restaurant, by accident, in the middle of nowhere; a business affected by the cross migration of travelers using the ferry terminal at the end of the island. "Ferry Tales" is about a seed planted over thirty years ago grown into a bonsai tree, groomed by the evolution of its clients, trained by a business that is either a madhouse or empty, rooted in Greek culture, potted in a region that bears the geographic uniqueness of the Garden of Eden, and nurtured by a gateway across America. It is based on comical, real events, belabored by the stresses of a successful family business, and fixed in the history and culture of a unique area, poised as the next great wine region of America.

250 years of history about America's 3rd oldest lighthouse, beginning before the Revolutionary War, about the people, its development, and those that used this navigation aid at the entrance of Narragansett Bay. Technological innovation and federal bureaucratic conflict as four different organizations beginning in 1749 attempt to improve operations and reliability. Navigation hazards, shipwrecks, piloting, light improvements and fog signal experiments made Rhode Island's Beavertail Light Station one of the most important landmarks in New England. The book follows the early slave trade and Colonists who insisted the lighthouse be built and describes the work ethics and reporting requirements of the generations of 'Keepers' who tended the light. Modern methods, electricity and improved operations are taken over by the US Coast Guard to automate the light station replacing whale oil and fossil fuel burners used by the US Lighthouse Board during the 1800's

Juan Zanzeros is a Mennonite farm boy who got a PhD in computer science and ended up writing computer simulations of the physical laws of articulated bodies. An admirer of Charles Darwin, he struggled to integrate the truths of science and evolution with his faith. Darwin's Dove is the result. On the surface, this novel is a love story about two graduate students who create a computer simulation of evolution and are plunged into a fight for their ideas and their lives. But underneath the action and romance, is an uncompromising look at Christianity and Islam in the context of a Darwinian simulation. While evolution is a computational search algorithm of amazing generality, it has a serious intrinsic flaw: one does not get the mathematical beauty of emergent complexity without the artifact of suffering. The compassionate interaction between the students and their Darwinian simulation becomes an allegory that illuminates the ancient questions of creation and theodicy, of good and evil, and of resurrection and immortality. A demystified computational Christianity promises an antidote for the evil dregs of a search algorithm. Darwin's Dove is fully original with a trace of tragic humor.
