High Five: A Father-Son Bonding Tale is children's book that emphasizes the power of unconditional love and positive reinforcement.

The Princess of Highland Park is the story of a young man and a young woman whose boring ride-along becomes an adventure to save the future from an evil corporation that plans to take possession of a powerful jewel called the Princess Diamond. The adventure is packed with action, humor, romance, mystery, and betrayal and leads the young heroes down a coming-of-age path that will affect their futures or end their lives. I wrote The Princess of Highland Park as a short novel after reading several long novels and feeling like the stories could have been told in fifty pages. I hope readers will appreciate it as a short novel and enjoy reading and rereading The Princess of Highland Park.
