If you like your historical fiction set in the Middle East with action, adventure, mystery, and unexpected twists, along with elements of hidden history, Freemasonry, Knights Templar, Kabbalah, a dash of romance, and the aspirational promise of reconciliation and peace, you've come to the right place!
Featured here are my two most recent books containing these elements; Wages of Empire and Crossroads of Empire, both set at the onset of WW1, and connecting with my other books via the through-lines of Jerusalem's Temple Mount and the St. Clair/Sinclair bloodline.
