El libro "Secretos y misterios de los sefardíes" se centra en los eventos ocurridos en la Península Ibérica en el siglo XV. Está basado en hechos históricos sobre las vidas de los monarcas portugueses y españoles. Estos hechos son parcial o totalmente opuestos a las leyendas creadas por los monarcas y figuras políticas influyentes del Sacro Imperio Romano de aquella época. Asimismo, se fundamenta en datos archivísticos de bulas papales encontradas en la biblioteca apostólica del Vaticano y en muchas otras fuentes archivísticas. Y, por supuesto, se basa en la investigación genética de los genes del hermano y del hijo de Cristóbal Colón. Esta investigación y el estilo de escritura de Colón cuestionaron sus orígenes italianos y revelaron su origen portugués-sefardí. Además, demuestra que el lugar de nacimiento de Colón no fue Italia ni España, sino Portugal. Los lectores pueden encontrar una descripción detallada de la investigación en el libro "¡Cristóbal Colón era portugués!" del Dr. Manuel Luciano da Silva. Otro misterio es el origen del nombre Colón. En la historia ha habido muchos casos en los que las personas adoptaron los apellidos de aquellos que influyeron significativamente en sus vidas. En opinión del autor de este libro, Cristóbal Colón pudo haber adoptado el nombre de una persona cuya identidad no podía revelar debido a circunstancias sensibles. ¿Pero quién era esta persona? ¿Y qué hazaña heroica realizó que lo afectó tan profundamente? Junto con los grandes sefardíes, como Colón y otros destacados sefardíes que glorificaron a los sefardíes en todo el mundo con sus acciones, el primer libro incluye personajes de la época de Colón que deshonraron su origen sefardí con sus actos. Estas personas son inhumanas e incluyen, entre otros, a Tomás de Torquemada.

Speakeasy follows the investigation by Milwaukee patrolman Jud Minor into the killing of fellow officer Landis "Suthrin" Humphreys, whose bloody body is found inside the doorway of a Sixth Ward speakeasy just after midnight on Christmas Day, 1931. Thanks to front-page articles published in the Milwaukee Tribune and written by a less than scrupulous newspaperman who has his own agenda, Patrolman Minor quickly becomes a celebrity and is assigned by the police chief as "Acting Detective" on the case. Minor's investigation soon broadens beyond the Sixth Ward and eventually takes Jud into the heart of the Jim Crow South. Quite apart from being a gripping and beautifully written crime drama, this work of historical fiction also provides a vivid snapshot of Prohibition-era Milwaukee and includes many actual persons from Milwaukee's past, not least of whom is its protagonist, Judson W. Minor, the first African-American officer on the Milwaukee police force. Among the other historical figures are Daniel Webster Hoan, Milwaukee's first Socialist mayor; J. Anthony Josie, co-founder of the Wisconsin Enterprise-Blade, who was widely known at the time as "The Mayor of Bronzeville" and, alternately, as "The First Mayor of Black Milwaukee"; Milwaukee Police Chief Jacob Laubenheimer; and Third Ward Mafia boss Joe "Piddu" Vallone. Other lesser-known historical figures are also prominent in the story.
