Intrigue, espionage, and romance in the midst of the American Civil War.\nMaddie Cronin's game is seduction with plenty of bodies left in her wake - men of wealth, senators, generals, and even the vice president of the United States. Maddie has always been able to sidestep true love in her quest for power, until Arnett. 
Arnett McCann is heart sore and heart sick. All he wants is to be left alone to do his job. But that is no way to live. As a U.S. Marshal for the Justice Department under President Lincoln, Arnett has always seen the law in black and white. You are either a criminal or you are not. Yet, with the looming Civil War and the attack on Fort Sumter, no one or nothing has shaken Arnett's sense of justice and he's kept his mind focused; that is, until Maddie Cronin walked into his life. Now he is out to get her and her associates, the notorious outlaws, Frank and Jesse James, before they and the secret organization, The Knights of the Golden Circle, bring down the federal government.

Leopold Murphy Defrocked is a wild philosophical comedy about a Catholic priest experiencing a crisis of faith. Our hero-if you can call him that-is not your conventional clergyman. Equal parts angry and inconsiderate, Leo spends his time penning heretical essays, having an affair with his choir director, and stewing in jealousy over his younger brother's success as a televangelist. When a series of unfortunate events leads Leo to embezzle thousands of dollars in charity funds, he uses the money to finance a personal Caribbean vacation, hoping that the trip (make that pilgrimage) will reconcile him with God. Though farcical in many ways, the novel is, at its core, both ambitiously existential and intimately human. It asks hard questions about suffering, faith, jealousy, disappointment, growing old, and the role of religion and art in achieving communion with the divine. Oh, and it's also damn funny.
