Read Between the Lies
On tour to promote his runaway bestseller, African American author Tariq Spiegel is a guest on Carol Sanders' popular, nationally televised talk show. There, Tariq reveals the story behind his book-a tale that's filled with friendship love, betrayal, and salvation. Tariq and Jamal Hammond have been like brothers for more than fifteen years. Tariq worships Jamal, a highly successful Houston defense attorney and charismatic ladies' man looking for everything but a long-term relationship. But things change when Tariq, the up-and-coming author often in Jamal's shadow, proposes to Anomie Beckford, a foreign-relations expert who works for the government. Afraid of losing his best friend, Jamal tests Tariq's decision with a bet that sends Tariq's world spinning downward. Questioned loyalties, deceit, and heartbreak follow for Tariq, who must realize that he can't achieve true happiness, within himself, in his friendships, or in love, until he accepts the power of Jesus and God in his life. Read Between the Lies is a passionate and compelling look at forgiveness, redemption, and commitment to faith.
Political Poetry as Discourse
Political Poetry as Discourse examines the works of the political poets John Greenleaf Whittier and Ebenezer Elliott, drawing comparisons to contemporary hip hoppers who take their words from local newspapers and other discursive sources that they read, hear, and observe.

Islam's Fire
A frantic phone call from the president of World Bank jars Carl Lukin and Ann Curlin out of a restful vacation on the Hood Canal in Washington State. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been stolen from the bank, and the bank president wants to hire Lukin Investigations to find the money before the news gets out, causing the bank to collapse. As Carl and Ann follow the money, they realize that the theft is connected to a body Carl had discovered in the Hood Canal. The money trail leads to the terrifying realization that it has been stolen to finance an international terrorist organization called Islams Fire. Carls first allegiance is to the bank, but he feels compelled to notify the CIA of the terrorist connection. Before they can be stopped, the terrorists attack the power grid on the West Coast, blacking out more than half the country. Working with both the FBI and the CIA, Carl and Ann track the leaders of Islams Fire around the world. Before they can stop them, though, they manage to wreak havoc, causing death and destruction all across the country. Murder, terror, bombings, and personal tragedy all force Carl to face the unthinkable in his urgent quest to stop Islams Fire.
