His Secret Quintuplets
Now, I'm caring for five children as a mother. I'm simply an average girl who had an unexpected kid after having an unfortunate encounter with a guy. 5 more! A number of years later, I made another attempt to enter the workforce, but this time I met with much resistance. My memory of the dashing person makes me think he will become a powerful business leader. He was charming, affluent, and surprisingly commanding. Years later, he still carried a grudge over the gratuity I had given him and relentlessly teased me, but I let it go since he was unaware of my family situation. "Dear children, your father is a micromanager. We need him so much!"
Jones Point
Two grisly murders and a deadly firefight on the Woodrow Wilson bridge put Mo Katz, U.S. Attorney EDVA, on a collision course with a rogue intelligence operative and a sinister person of interest. Editorial Reviews ''IN THIS LATEST PAGE-TURNER from John Wasowicz, Alexandrians can put themselves smack in the middle of the action. Familiar landmarks dot the pages and make for one fun read!'' --Mary Ann Barton, editor, Alexandria Living Magazine ''WASOWICZ CAPTIVATES AGAIN! From the opening scene readers are thrust into a terrorist plot. From there we sleuth vicariously through a new favorite character, Elmo Katz. Jones Point is a must read.'' --Ralph Peluso, literary editor, The Zebra Press, Alexandria, VA ''GOOD TO SEE U.S. ATTORNEY MO KATZ waging the fight against terrorism!'' --Brian Moran, former Virginia prosecutor ''I ENJOYED THE SIMPLICITY AND FLUIDITY of the writing style of Jones Point. As I entered the world of Mo Katz, I felt like I was taking a ride around Virginia.'' --Hanan Daqqa, arts and entertainment editor, Fairfax County Times
Daydreamers
“And they replied, ‘We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.’ ‘Interpreting dreams is God’s business,’ Joseph replied. ‘Go ahead and tell me your dreams.’” Genesis 40:8 Dreams. For centuries, dreams have been mysterious, haunting the soul. Can they really predict the future or reveal what is in the heart? What if dreams crossed over into reality, into the present? What if dreams from four people intersect and clash, erupting in the present, shaking the idyllic Caribbean Island of Acia Maj to its core? Without warning, rhyme or reason, Acia Maj descends into senseless violence. How can a fun-loving and friendly island fall victim to this madness? Even political and social leaders are caught up in the wave. The clock is ticking, time is running out, and two of the dreamers are in a desperate search for answers and solutions before they and their families lose their lives. The future of the island is in the balance. The future is imagined by those who dream. Can daydreamers save the future of Acia Maj?
Transplant Fictions
Removing an organ from one (typically dead) body and placing it in another living body challenges our most foundational ideas about boundaries between self and other, individual and social identity, life and death, health and illness. But despite these transgressions, organ transplant is a celebrated and relatively common procedure. Transplant Fictions brings together a diverse set of cultural representations to understand how we have overcome the profound ideological violations represented by organ exchange in order to reimagine the concept and practice as technological and moral victories. From the plots of horror stories and sci-fi novels to sentimental romances and feel-good media reports of stranger donation, this cultural study offers a nuanced portrait of the conceptual journey of organ exchange from strange and terrible to the “gift of life.”
Ian McEwan's Enduring Love
Renowned author Peter Childs explores the intricacies of Ian McEwan's haunting novel providing a guide to the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds it.
Kazuo Ishiguro in a Global Context
Bringing together an international group of scholars, this collection offers a fresh assessment of Kazuo Ishiguro’s evolving significance as a contemporary world author. The contributors take on a range of the aesthetic and philosophical themes that characterize Ishiguro’s work, including his exploration of the self, family, and community; his narrative constructions of time and space; and his assessments of the continuous and discontinuous forces of history, art, human psychology, and cultural formations. Significantly, the volume attends to Ishiguro’s own self-identification as an international writer who has at times expressed his uneasiness with being grouped together with British novelists of his generation. Taken together, these rich considerations of Ishiguro’s work attest to his stature as a writer who continues to fascinate cultural and textual critics from around the world.
Who's Afraid Of... ?
Fear in its many facets appears to constitute an intriguing and compelling subject matter for writers and screenwriters alike. The contributions address fictional representations and explorations of fear in different genres and different periods of literary and cultural history. The topics include representations of political violence and political fear in English Renaissance culture and literature; dramatic representations of fear and anxiety in English Romanticism; the dramatic monologue as an expression of fears in Victorian society; cultural constructions of fear and empathy in George Eliot's Daniel Deronda (1876) and Jonathan Nasaw's Fear Itself (2003); facets of children's fears in twentieth- and twenty-first-century stream-of-consciousness fiction; the representation of fear in war movies; the cultural function of horror film remakes; the expulsion of fear in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go and fear and nostalgia in Mohsin Hamid's post-9/11 novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
Daingerfield Island

Terrorist Attacks on American Soil
Understanding the context of terrorism requires a trek through history, in this case the history of terrorist activity in the United States since the Civil War. Because the topic is large and complex, Terrorists Attacks on American Soil: From the Civil War to the Present does not claim to be an exhaustive history of terrorism or the definitive account of how and why terrorists do what they do. Instead, this book takes a representative sampling of the most horrific terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in an effort to understand the context in which they occurred and the lessons that can be learned from these events.
