DREAMS, FAITH & AMMUNITION – Historical Fiction, Memoir, Adventure
Two men, three timelines, one location; “Dreams, Faith & Ammunition” is a novel about seeking the Promised Land. In the nineteenth century, one man seeks it literally, first by following Joseph Smith, and then James Strang to build a Kingdom of God on earth. In the twentieth century, another man envisions the Promised Land as the rewards and lifestyle he will achieve once he finishes his great American novel.
Both men move to Beaver Island, Michigan to fulfill their ideals. Both men face unforeseen obstacles and must overcome personal demons in their journey of faith and suicidal depression.

In the not-too-distant future, freedom is just a word that you willingly trade for a dozen donuts, based on the dubious promise that you can eat what you want and never gain weight. You can also take drugs with no ill effects or call a friend while surfing the web without a phone or computer. All this and more will be yours following the simple installation of a P-Chip in your brain. After botching the arrest of the governor's son in Los Angeles, Commander Jake Travissi is banned from law enforcement. The workaholic homicide cop spirals into depression...until he is given a rare second chance. The price? Volunteer for chip implantation and join Homeland Security's experimental Enhanced Unit. The grisly assassination of a prominent Nobel Laureate brings the newly formed Unit on the scene to investigate. But as the body count rises, Jake begins to realize that his actions, and even his thoughts, are not his own.

(This is one that will be going on my wishlist as regular followers will know I love the dystopian genre)
If a bulletproof action hero were to exist in the real world, would he throw a fit about not fitting in? If a born loser who couldn’t break into Hollywood found a new sense of purpose by joining a terrorist group, would he still be a wannabe filmmaker? Now suppose L.A.’s Chief of Police was suffering from a brain tumor during a surprise attack and the FBI agent on the scene practiced medieval medicine. What would happen if you placed all these characters in a hostage situation at a major film studio and tossed in some A-list movie stars as captives?
Before the Department of Homeland Security measured threat levels in America, back when we could fly without stripping down in airport security lines, terror struck the heart of Tinseltown. Blockbuster satirizes the motion picture industry and the marketing juggernauts it churns out at a breakneck pace. Some of it is true; most of it is funny; all of it is profoundly illuminating.
Horace Thimble (aka Mohammad) has invaded Mogul Pictures and is holding their top actors—as well as the studio’s upcoming summer releases—hostage. But his foolproof plan doesn’t take into account special effects wizard Dexter Brubeck’s lucky talent for survival. Although Horace has the LAPD, FBI and the entire nation on its knees, it’s the insurgent team of Dexter and his ex-girlfriend Heather who become the real threat to the terrorist’s plans. Get the picture? You will...when you get the book.
