I'm the mastermind behind a rising mafia prince...and nobody can know about it... Next to me, Ricard Jr. shifts in his seat. Eager as always and I f**king love it. Because the minute this plane lands, we will be on our way to war with no intention of losing. Not while I'm alive anyway. I have three valuable skill sets, I'm calculating, I'm a trained killer, and I'm deadly. Which is why Ricard Sr. hired me to protect his son, a bratty mafia prince who was everything I was not. Scrawny, unsure of himself, and eager to please the wrong people. If Senior had taken the time to groom him properly, instead of hoping his son would come right out of the gate with the skills that took some people decades to learn, the Machiavellis would've been a damn sight to behold. His loss. And my gain. Because I saw something he didn't. This young kid would soon become a force to be reckoned with. I could feel it in my bones. Now, the time has come. We're ready. War is coming. Our prince is taking the throne. Time to build our own Mafia Empire.

I'm being hunted... But I can't think about that right now. This tournament has no room for distractions. This tournament is my prison break. My ticket out of a life I never meant to have. Unfortunately, in a spit second, things took a bad turn...I saw Mitchell's men. Mitchell Byron, known to the world as the mysterious inventor, entrepreneur, and tech billionaire XK3M has been hunting me since the day I left. And he's a lot more dangerous than betting big bucks on some high stake's poker game. My only escape is with the help of the mysterious man sitting across from me at the poker table...Monk. He has a keen eye and also notices Mitchell's men. When I make my move to escape the scouting men, he grabs me by the arm and tries to lead me to safety. I try desperately to warn him, I'm trouble, but he won't take no for an answer... I have no choice, there's no time to explain what he's just gotten himself into. But knowing Mitchell, he will find out soon enough. *Note from author: This is book one of the High Stakes Series and ends in a cliff hanger. Also, mature content.*

A frigid, gray winter in Berlin: On the night after the matriarch of a small group of close friends is found mysteriously dead in a river, five large photographic artworks created by one of the group are stolen from a glitzy gallery. Death and theft trigger searches and discoveries, personal and historical, by each of the once-glamorous but now aging friends. Their personal quests spread them from Berlin to locations across northern Europe. Secrecy and revelation, perception and misinterpretation, guilt and desire to protect, Viewfinder, the second installment in The Expatriate Trio, is ultimately a tale of resilience and long-sought redemption.

On the July 4th weekend of 1948, John Clellon Holmes (1926-1988) met Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) in New York City for the first time, and the two became lifelong friends. As a young, ambitious novelist, Holmes knew Kerouac as a mentor and comrade in a literary movement eventually known as the Beat Generation. They shared New England roots and shared the same birthday (March 12; Kerouac born in 1922, Holmes in 1926). They were characters in each other's novels, and they fed each other encouragement over the years through letters and get-togethers at Holmes's home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, until Kerouac's untimely death at age 47, on October 21,1969.In four essays first published under one cover by Limberlost Press in 1985, Holmes writes about the influence of their common New England roots ("Rocks in Our Beds"), about his genuine friendship with Kerouac ("The Great Rememberer"), about going to Kerouac's funeral with poets Allen Ginsberg and Gergory Corso ("Gone in October"), and about atttending the 1982 Naropa Institute 25th anniversary celebration of the 1957 publication of On the Road as a last hurrah.This new edition of Gone in October comprises a deeply heart-felt remebrance of literary friendship and personal loss, reprinted with permission of the Estate of John Clellon Holmes in honor of the Jack Kerouac centennial in 2022.
