The collection of essays in this book takes you on a literary journey inside the heart and mind of a man and situates you at a roundtable discussion about the many issues that relate to men. The thoughts and emotions expressed in this book are honest and, sometimes, stark, but intent on provoking important dialogue.
One hundred and thirty-seven years ago, the Countess Isabelle Sophia Bario, diplomatic representative of Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil, sailed to war-ravaged America, to negotiate with President Lincoln to allow Brazil to trade with the Confederate States of America. In fact, she was a Rebel spy and instead of treaties, Sophia was after Union secrets. What she found instead was intrigue and murder. Fleeing for her life, Sophia was rescued by Captain Robert Norton, a Confederate cavalry officer. Thus began a torrid love affair with strategic implications.

PRAISE FOR ENEMY IN BLUE "The plot is as gripping as it is chilling. The story flows smoothly, and each chapter ends with the perfect amount of suspense to keep you wanting more. A fantastic and exciting read, as I could not put the book down." -B.Burton "A great first thriller for this young author. I would compare this story to John Grisham's book of "The Innocent Man." It is that captivating and more." -M. Bautista "You know a book is good when you are not an avid reader but you discover you don't want to put a book down." -E. Streible BOOK DESCRIPTION The streets aren't safe when your enemy wears a blue uniform and a gold badge. What if the good guys weren't good? What if a cop went rogue and killed an innocent man? What if it was all caught on video and the cop would do anything to cover it up? MORE PRAISE FOR ENEMY IN BLUE "Much like the script of an action-packed movie, Enemy in Blue will buffet you from one hair-raising scene to another -- and will always leave you pondering, who's the real enemy?" -L.Capritta "This novel took me out of my comfort zone and placed me in the shoes of many people in America who live in fear. Overall, it was excellent and I highly recommend it." -Dolores M. "I can honestly say that I could not put this book down " -L. Rivera "I can not believe all the places you go and the points of view you have as you consume these pages. If you are looking for a great read, look no further " -S.Seitz "Enemy in Blue grabbed me from page one and didn't let go until the last page was turned. I had to keep reminding myself that this was a debut novel.... because it read like many of the seasoned legal thriller authors that I love to read and get lost in." -K.Velte For anyone that craves an action-packed thriller and can't get their fill of John Grisham, Dean Koontz or James Patterson...ENEMY IN BLUE is your next escape "For action, body-count and digging into the underworld of police politics - this is really a great read. However, I think the best asset of the novel is the incredible drawing of the antagonist - the evil Sergeant Shaver really shines."
