Is it possible to be both a good Jew and a gay man? Jonah Dillon
doesn’t think so. He can’t reconcile his faith with his
attraction to men so he turns his back on Judaism. Away at college for the
holidays, he plans to lose his virginity to Christian, the blue-eyed, blond,
goy of his dreams.

But fate intervenes when Jonah meets Aaron Beck, an observant Jew, and they
end up celebrating Hanukkah together. Aaron tells Jonah they’re
beschert—meant to be. Jonah’s not sure he believes it, but he’s
lonely and welcomes Aaron’s company even if he has to celebrate Hanukkah to
get it.

Can Aaron bridge the gap and convince Jonah to take a leap of faith? Or
will they have to give up their desire for a future together?

Axel Blaze Thriller Book 6

Thriller

Date Published: December 1, 2023

When dreams and nightmares collide, there’s no place left to
run.

Dawn breaks over Bison Creek, a sleepy little Wyoming town, to reveal a
scene of mayhem. Two bodies lying inside the police station. Both brutally
killed. One of them a cop. A man covered in blood sprawled on the steps
outside. Conscious but disoriented. Beside him, a gun and a stained Ka-Bar
knife.

It’s an open-and-shut case. Every shred of evidence points to
Ex-Marine Staff Sergeant Logan Davis, pushed over the edge by his acute
PTSD. Logan knows no lawyer can prove him innocent. He calls the only man he
knows will move heaven and earth to get to the truth: Axel Blaze.

A bloody trail leads Blaze to a cult leader with ties to rogue
pharmaceutical company, preying on the vulnerabilities of troubled veterans,
using them as pawns in his nefarious game. These power players will do
anything to bury the truth. But they underestimate one thing—a
relentless adversary who will go to any lengths to expose them.

Date Published: November 30, 2023

In a small Louisiana Bayou town during mid-September 1965, Albert Gilly
frantically prepares his family’s fishing store for an impending hurricane.
Amid the chaos, he notices Adonis, a drifter, lying motionless on the
street. With the wind raging and debris swirling violently around them,
Albert’s mind is consumed with thoughts of his family and their dependence
on him as the sole breadwinner. Knowing that they would be destitute without
him, he makes the painful decision to prioritize his own safety over
rescuing the stranger. As Albert stands in his shop’s doorway, the weight of
his guilt is almost suffocating, causing him to hesitate before locking
himself inside. He shouts one last time, urging the young man to seek
shelter in his late father’s houseboat at the end of the pier. Adonis is
startled awake by his words, his mind still hazy, as he struggles through
the strong winds until arriving at the floating sanctuary. However, his
relief is short-lived upon discovering the sinister secrets concealed within
the old wooden walls.
