Joseph Heller's rollicking novel, Catch-22, used black humor to point out, and point up, the inanities and insanities experienced by men at war. In a similar vein, It's Too Late to Leave Early employs plain vanilla humor to illustrate the frustrations and idiocies common to an industry the author, a former aerospace engineer, knows all too well. You'll meet many outrageous characters a one time porn queen who's into blackmail; the wealthy great-grandson of a Russian aviation pioneer who'lll do anything to get back the company he believes was "stolen" from his family; a former Air Force lieutenant colonel who reinvents himself as a totally inept favorite of management; a wannabe Western film star who's never been within fifty yards of a horse; an ultra-paranoid executive vice president and general manager; a nymphomaniacal lady scheduler and sundry others all of whom are embroiled in situations ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, and beyond. Enjoy!

The history of the community and people of Conway County, Arkansas.
Kevin Moore, a single and handsome U.S. Treasury agent from Washington, D.C., and Karen Doupchek, a beautiful married DEA agent from L.A., are assigned to a Joint Task Force to investigate drug laundering in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The agents are instructed to look like lovers as they check out the exclusive boutique hotel, Aubrey of St. Thomas. The hotel is managed by Aubrey Sanes, widow of ex-L.A. cop Carl Quincy “Q” Sanes, who died during church services four years ago. Q was cremated and his ashes thrown into the sea, but there was never an autopsy report or death certificate. The doctor who certified Q’s death in Puerto Rico also died, leaving no records. The widow’s profitable resort was started with a half million dollars that Q left her. The agents want to know how she parlayed that into such a money-making operation. Thinking the boutique is too much of a good thing, Kevin and Karen search for the “dead” Q, the money trail, or both. While sharing their progress on the case, the agents realize they’ve fallen for each other. Tuesday After Next is the second book in an intriguing trilogy.

Something is off, time seems to pass differently, and the people living there seem trapped. Slowly, Everly begins to wonder if she is trapped too. But would she even want to leave, if she could?
