Born to a prostitute on Christmas Day 1974 in a crime-ridden section of Brooklyn, Waylon Garrett joins a criminal gang in his teens and becomes proficient in all forms of the gang's criminal activities. When he learns that the gang's leader is seeking a legitimate business in which to invest the gang's cash, Waylon by chance discovers that the business of religion, if exploited intelligently, could be the answer. He points out the lifestyles of religion's most financially successful practitioners, all of who rely on a unique concept (or gimmick) for their success. Waylon develops his own "gimmick," quite unique and apart from anything heretofore thought of by the others and convinces the leader to make the investment. His success begins to significantly cut into the cash flow of the competition resulting in a direct threat on his life that ultimately leads to a murderous climax.
In 1984, at the age of ten, Terry Marsh is witness to the murder of an abortion doctor that remains unsolved. Fifteen years later, as an investigative reporter who has experienced reasonable success for one so young, he finds himself drawn back to that incident during the course of an investigation. In a unique stroke of irony that validates the expression: "Be careful of what you wish for," Terry discovers the identity of the perpetrator but is unable to go public with it. Additionally, his idealism in seeking a career as an investigative reporter unearthing corruption and malfeasance in high places turns to disillusionment as the mainstream media falls into the abyss of concentrating its reporting on the politics of personal destruction during the Clinton era 1990s.
Black Night Bright Dawn, a novel of good versus evil set against the momentous events of the 1930's and 40's, chronicles the lives of two look-alike young men reared in vastly different cultures. Adolph Schweid is the son of rabidly anti-Semitic parents living in Berlin, while Eric Roth is the son of Jewish parents in Brooklyn, New York. Adolf exhibits a fanatical hatred of Jews through his actions as a teenager and as an SS officer in World War II. Eric comes of age in lower middle-class circumstances, proud of his Jewish heritage and later serves as an OSS officer during the war. Shifting between Berlin and Brooklyn, the story describes how the cataclysmic events of that critical period in history influences each one's life, culminating in a climactic and explosive confrontation when a long-buried secret leads to a post-war meeting between the two.

BODY, MIND & SPIRIT “Life is a divine symphony with a lot of harmony we call happiness and a lot of dissonance we call pain and suffering, all under the direction of the Conductor who is the only one who knows the entire score.” —Harry Samuels Connections is a sequel to author Harry Samuels’ highly acclaimed: Beshert: True Stories of Connections and Crossroads: Chance or Destiny. His books are intriguing and memorable collections of stories of people meeting unexpectedly, with the resulting impact on their lives. Samuels uses his stories to encourage reflection on whether our experiences are impacted solely by coincidences or laws of probability. Through Connections, he strives to increase our awareness of the synchronicities we each encounter in our daily lives and how they influence our choices. “Your books are thought provoking.” — Elie Wiesel
