The Cipher Who Came in from the Cold:

A Fictional National Security Story

(with reality not far behind)


The NSA modus operandi has always been to entice the world to trust encryption for which the consensus is that it is unbreakable, while in stealth breaking it; thereby achieving cyber superiority. And they achieved it, keeping America on top. Alas, success blinds. A fundamental vulnerability emerged and became a game changer. With the new science of cryptography, the computational edge claimed by the NSA becomes irrelevant. Unfortunately, America's adversaries were the first to spot the new cyber reality, and they are moving in for the kill. This is the factual basis of this new cyber thriller "The Cipher Who Came in from the Cold," a nail-biting account of a very likely future. Stewart Restbe, a hounding CIA officer, alerts the first African American Director of National Intelligence. It's not easy, the bureaucracy fights back. A charming NSA math prodigy Marlene Leipzig pitches in. Recent embarrassing CIA calamities shake up the Intelligence Community. A match of wits and grit is flaring up, burning throughout the vast expanse of cyber territory. America is stunned by the fighting power of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Who helps them? The struggle extends to kinetics; special forces are called in; nuclear events are on the table. The plot twists and turns. Each side firmly believes in their just cause. Follow the struggle to the last page of the book.

Peak Season

  Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

    The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)      480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods.     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped.  A chill went up their spine. The girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!”     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. In varying degrees thi...

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...
