My creation is about people's emotions during a relationship and possible outcomes. Despite our various backgrounds, we have an intriguing commonality--romantic relationships. Sharing smiles and cries with a partner on an intimate level is a familiar societal structure. This bond can be initiated with a stare, a laugh, or a simple conversation. Then it can evolve in the workplace, gym, nightclub, worshipping center, etc.Nobody truly wants to be alone. Human beings will tolerate disrespectful behavior from their supposed soulmate because of that desperation. However, companionship is a risk for everyone, but the reward can be joyous and priceless. Real-life relationships are not like the scripted television shows or movies. It can destroy and inspire at the same time.Although we will always have a beginning and an end, the journey can make or break you. Good luck!

Doughnuts for God is a novel set during the momentous times of the early twentieth century. The horrors of World War I, the fear, sorrow, danger, and suffering were beyond anything the five young women of the Salvation Army could imagine when they committed themselves to God's service. But when the United States entered the war, they felt called to follow the path of their charismatic and somewhat mysterious commander, Captain Flora Green, confident in her leadership and God's hand on their lives. They all bonded together during their service as "Doughnut Dollies" in the battlefields of France and afterward in hospitals, caring for the influenza victims back home while each of them coped with the aftereffects of the war's impact on their lives.

The Casablanca Quartet is a series of four historical novels telling the fascinating story of the city of Casablanca between the American military landing in 1942 (the United States' first in the Western Hemisphere in World War II) and the end of the French protectorate in 1956. The central character is the city that was then one of the world's most cosmopolitan and violent. Its story is told through a dozen characters, most based on real people whose stories have rarely been told, including: an American Navy pilot who crashes into Morocco in 1943, returning years later to build a secret American bunker housing an atomic bomb; a Moroccan prostitute and tattoo artist trapped in a vast brothel built by the French administration; a cell of Moroccan "terrorists" detonating bombs in Frenchtown; a gang of rightwing French "counter-terrorists" machine-gunning local cafes in the name of the "real" Morocco; a lowly policeman working as a hitman for the French secret services; a powerful French politician whose love for his adopted country, and for the wrong person, will lead to his assassination; and the first Moroccan pilot, a charismatic girl of fourteen, who becomes a powerful symbol of freedom. Their adventures intersect, transforming each person in unexpected ways, while echoing our contemporary clash between the West and the Arab world, including the consequences of colonialism, the politicization of terrorism, and more fundamentally, our eternal struggle to break free as individuals.The Casablanca Quartet is an astonishing feat of research and imagination that will reward fans of works like John Dos Passos's U.S.A. and David Simon's series The Wire, as well as history buffs. This second volume includes the third and fourth books, Resistance and Freedom, and a first includes the first and second books, War and Peace.

Que ne passe t-il par le corridor ? Ce serait plus simple. Trop simple : il grimpera le long du tuyau historié, rigide près de son balcon. Un pied sur la conjecturable solidité de ce grillage et l'autre sur la saillie de cette sculpture, il saura bien rejoindre la chambre, dans les combles. Tout est fort tranquille, excepté qu'en lui tourne une petite roue de moulin, une petite roue absolument folle, tac et tac, et encore tac : de l'eau semble bruire au fond de sa poitrine, du bruit d'écume d'en aval des cascades, ou du vent dans les arbres...
