Description:
Vincent Rhodes, an artist whose family fortune has been lost in the Great Depression, receives four rambling letters from his brother, Theo, who went missing during the first Great War in Europe.
Though postmarked April 1933, from Claremont, New Hampshire, the letters are dated 1918, the year Theo disappeared. Vincent leaves his Brooklyn flat to find him. Based on clues from the letters, Vincent tracks Theo to his last-known location: a decaying New England health resort known to locals as the Sulphur Cure.
There he meets Helen Sage-Brown, the last descendant of the original owners. Though Vincent is convinced his brother was at this strange complex, Miss Sage-Brown insists that she has never seen him.
As Vincent digs deeper into the lives of the eccentric residents in search of answers, he finds there is more to this place than sagging floors and broken windows. He discovers that the people inhabiting the old grounds have as many secrets as he does, and that his life will change forever once those secrets come to light.

Description:
Brandon Meier’s academic year in Europe takes him far beyond museums, castles, and classrooms. When he embarks on a month-long rail journey, his sightseeing includes an edgy French boy, a Carravagio-esque Italian, a rich Swiss lad, a Croatian heartbreaker, and an Indonesian beauty in Amsterdam, to name but a few. These are lessons no textbook can ever teach.
It’s not long before Brandon realizes that the best sightseeing is almost always off the beaten path. From sultry nights in saunas, to midnight strolls in seemingly endless parks, chance encounters in sleepy seaside towns and nights of wining, dining, BMW convertibles and penthouse apartments, Brian’s year in Europe is anything but “by the textbook.”
The Price of Silence (Mystery & Thrillers)

Description:
Each of their meetings had been a disaster. He paid her to get lost, and thought he’d rid himself of her for good. But then he found the party invitation stuffed in his mailbox.
Was he suspicious? Indeed. Should he fear for his safety, sanity, and Swiss bank accounts? Oh, you bet.
Nathan Tanyon’s encounters with a ditzy social climber are hardly by chance. Helena Arntree claims to have far more detail about the death of Nathan’s wealthy aunt than those presented to the police. Nathan insists she has it all wrong. But when she manipulates him into some compromising positions that might harm his credibility, he ends up paying her a healthy sum to keep her mouth shut and go away. So she vanishes. At least for a while. Two years later, she invites him to a costume party in honor of her recent marriage to a man she doesn’t bother to name. Nathan soon finds out the real reason for the invite. When he contemplates skipping the party, he fears doing so might place him in even greater danger. Can he ever escape this woman? Just how much is Nathan willing to sacrifice to keep Miss Arntree from spinning her fanciful tales? Just what is the ultimate price of silence?

Description:
Film student Micah Malone learns the hard way that when life sucks, you can’t just yell, “Cut! Let’s do another take!” His grades are a box-office bomb. His friends create more drama than a soap opera. And his love life needs a laughtrack. While there’s no script to dictate what happens next, can Micah find the direction he needs? Life, after all, is no film school project. But it is great source material. The only source material. Let the cameras roll. Micah’s quirky story has begun filming.
[Intro and Chapter 1 from Tinseltown, available in May from MLR Press. (3rd Place Winner, 2010 Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest)]
