The Great Divorce
The twin Lasserman boys grew up in mid-twentieth century middle America. As children they were as close as one would expect twin boys to be. But as adults their life paths took them to far different destinations, economically, socially and geographically. At a time when they were past middle-aged, a severely divided nation driven by polarizing political demagogues, stressed their moral foundations to the breaking point. What happens beyond the breaking point teaches them a great deal about themselves and each other and has a cataclysmic effect on the nation and the world. This is a must-read for any open-minded, intelligent individuals who want to explore a fictional world where moral norms are cast aside, racial biases are openly exploited, and society is allowed to deteriorate to an unforeseen nadir of base expression and survival mode behavior.
The Great Reimagination
As the world approaches the middle of the twenty-first century, octogenarians Donald Lasserman and Richard Adamo maintain unbridled hope and vision for a more promising future. They unite several retired world leaders, including a former nemesis, to brainstorm ideas for a better world. While this happens, Donald’s self-made billionaire nephew, Nate, goes up against a terrorist kidnapping in the Panamanian rainforest and a coup in Cuba. Packed with intellectual stimulation and thrilling action, hopefully the content highlighted in this book will prompt readers to consider solutions and improvements for our everyday lives. This is the author’s second fiction work, following The Great Divorce (2018). While a sequel, it is also an entry point if you pay attention to the prologue. This book builds on the chaos of the first, fostering ideas and dreams for a more united and civilized world.
Evil Season
"Benson is a master of true crime." --Robert Scott Deadly Dreams Joyce Wishart was living out her life's dream, running her own art gallery in sunny Sarasota, Florida. But that dream ended in nightmare when a deranged drifter named Elton Brutus Murphy walked through the door with a knife in his hand and a voice in his head commanding him to rape and kill. In the space of half an hour, Joyce was dead--brutally mutilated--and the tony arts enclave plunged into terror as a frenzied manhunt ensued. Told in the convicted murderer's own words, a chilling tale of one life spiraling into madness--and another gruesomely cut short. "Difficult to put down. . ..

Sherman's March Through the Carolinas
In retrospect, General William Tecumseh Sherman considered his march through the Carolinas the greatest of his military feats, greater even than the Georgia campaign. When he set out northward from Savannah with 60,000 veteran soldiers in January 1865, he was more convinced than ever that the bold application of his ideas of total war could speedily end the conflict. John Barrett's story of what happened in the three months that followed is based on printed memoirs and documentary records of those who fought and of the civilians who lived in the path of Sherman's onslaught. The burning of Columbia, the battle of Bentonville, and Joseph E. Johnston's surrender nine days after Appomattox are at the center of the story, but Barrett also focuses on other aspects of the campaign, such as the undisciplined pillaging of the 'bummers,' and on its effects on local populations.
