In the small backwater town of Dresden Port, located within the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, three young men in their twenties lead fairly unremarkable lives, simply going through the often unfulfilling motions of their Monday to Friday jobs. However, when the weekend arrives, the trio band together to seek thrills by exploring abandoned locations in an effort to confirm or deny the endemic paranormal sightings and rumors that make up New Jersey's innate strangeness. When a weekend trip of delving into the unknown takes a bizarre twist, the trio find the mysteries, danger, and conspiracies awaiting them are no longer limited to their weekends. Forced to contend with new threats interfering in their day to day lives, what begins is the ultimate journey of the self, leading to never before conceived personal truths and the faintest inkling of what the reality they thought they knew is really about. Of course, maybe there's some time along the way for a hang out at a twenty four diner and a few drinks? This is New Jersey, after all Meet the boys of Dresden Port, three friends with their own vastly different outlooks and histories, that for all their differences, are practically brothers in arms when it matters. There's Ramone; a smooth macho alpha male type, Simon; a somber existential dreamer, and Jessie; possessed of an acerbic mouth and a sharp mind. Join them on their slice of life exploration into the unknown, coping with the mediocrity of the modern day, and their own personal demons. Sometimes warm, sometimes bittersweet, and often more than a little weird, this is Desperate By Dusk

THE BESTSELLING EPIC OF THE GLORY AND THE GRANDEUR INTRIGUES AND PASSIONS OF ANCIENT GREECE...AND THE WARRIOR KING WHOSE CONQUESTS BUILT AN ETERNAL LEGEND. ALEXANDER Volume II: THE SANDS OF AMMONA thousand years after Agamemnon fought the Trojan War. Alexander, the king of Macedonia and descendant of Achilles, follows in the footsteps of Greek legend. He has gathered a mighty force to liberate the Greek cities of Asia -- from legendary Sardis and Miletus to Halicarnassus. But vengeance is just one of Alexander's ambitions. Great oracles and loyal followers claim Alexander is more than mortal -- a powerful warrior, and insatiable scholar, a political genius. Yet, in battle after battle, one man blocks his way. Memnon of Rhodes, a Greek-born mercenary chosen by the Persian Great King to lead his vast army, is a cunning strategist who challenged Alexander's claim to the title of Lord of Asia. In Memnon, Alexander confronts an enemy who inspires his admiration. And in Memnon's wife, Barsine, he finds a woman who captures his heart. But neither bravery nor love can stem the tide of Alexander's destiny. For with Persia defeated, Alexander's thoughts turn to Egypt and beyond...

Alexander lives his life for two reasons: to protect his mother and keep his one-sided love for Katharine hidden. He is a servant, incapable of reaching the top of the social ladder without help. Chances like that come at a cost, and he is more than willing to pay for it. All does not go according to plan. The woman he loves marries another, the man who tried to kill him becomes his rival, and the fate of his mother changes for the worst. Alexander knows one thing for certain. He cannot turn the time back, just as he cannot become human again. *This book can be read as a prequel to the Helena Hawthorn series.

Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.E.), who reigned as king of Macedonia for only thirteen years, set a flame of conquest that introduced the dynamism of Hellenism to the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian worlds. Re-creating their ossified cultures, he established a standard of leadership and military conquest that the most successful of Roman emperors, medieval knights, and steppe barbarians would never truly match. Julius Caesar wept that he could not surpass Alexander, while Napoleon could only dream of such invincibility. Alexander had the great fortune to be born the able son of Philip II, one of the most talented men of war and politics produced by the Hellenic world, who created for Alexander the foundation of the Macedonian state and army that would be the tools of his future greatness. Alexander's invincibility was the product of his profound genius - the perfection of body, boundless energy, imagination, daring, intellect, and vision in one man. He was a master tactician, strategist, logistician, diplomat, and statesman, with an ability to win the affection and quick obedience of others. Even his enemies fell victim to his valor and charm. His personal attributes and accomplishments were so far removed from those of ordinary men that he achieved almost superhuman status within his lifetime. Above all, he was the preeminent man of war. Even today, as the noise of battle rattles Kandahar, a city in Afghanistan that Alexander named for himself, war clings to his name.
