“We the jury find the defendant, Rachel Iris Chester, guilty.” With those words, Sylvia Harbinger’s life as an NYPD detective is over.

Sylvia is done with serial killers, done with therapy, and done with a New York City now rife with WHISPs—the creepy, grey shadows of her nightmares. She and husband Ben have a deal. She retires and they both move to Montana to escape the WHISP phenomenon. It is the only way to save their marriage after the Chester case, even if it leaves their WHISP-affected son, Lincoln, behind.

Then the phone rings. Chester’s in jail, yet there’s been a copycat murder, and Sylvia can’t let the case go. If she missed something the first time, this new blood is on her hands. Ben gives her a month to work the case, but can their marriage survive that long? And as Sylvia digs deeper into the depths of the source of her phobia, how long will her sanity survive?

When the newly formed WHISP task force is called in to investigate a kidnapping and possible bioterrorism attack, NYPD Detective Sylvia Harbinger finds herself the middle woman between the NYPD and an extremist anti-WHISP organization, exposed to a WHISP virus, and having lengthy conversations with her own recently formed WHISP. Or is she only talking to herself?

With Ben and Lincoln backing her in the task force laboratory, she races to find the kidnapping victims and a cure, yet the terrorists always seem to keep one step ahead. Sylvia’s running out of leads and out of time, but giving up isn’t an option. One of the lives she saves may be her own.

In every dream, a current of nightmare…

Lincoln is gone and it’s all her fault. NYPD Detective Sylvia Harbinger once thought the world and its WHISPs had become the place of her nightmares, but now that her baby boy has been kidnapped by bioterrorists and taken halfway around the world, she knows what true nightmare is.

But Sylvia isn’t about to abandon her son.

She’ll do whatever it takes to get him back, even if it costs more than she ever thought possible to lose.

How does a woman tell her betrothed that she murdered her first husband?

Shipwrecked in the Scottish Highlands, American heiress Elise Kingston quietly plans revenge for the deaths of her daughter and the brother who sacrificed his life to save her.

When Marcus MacGregor, Marquess of Ashlund, returns to his Highland home to discover a stunning American woman has been taken in by his clan, his attraction is instant and he resolves to make her his–no matter what secret she’s keeping.

Someone wants him dead…and Phoebe stands in the killer’s way. The only way to save her reputation and protect Kiernan is to marry him.

In memory of Jean Marcel Nicolas/Johnny Nicholas, a Haitian in the Dora camp who pretended to be a U.S. Airman. This tale is what his life might have been like had that been true. The tale of a Tuskegee Airman. Johnny Nicholas’s dream is to fly airplanes-an impossible dream for a Black man in 1930s America. After WWII started, the Army launches an experimental program to train Black pilots in Tuskegee, Alabama. Against this parents’ wishes, Johnny boards a train headed to the segregated South. But even the rising death toll of World War II may not be enough incentive for the government to allow Black pilots to fly bombers. As Johnny grows convinced that the war will end before he sees a battlefield, the Tuskegee airmen are ordered to the European front. In Italy, reality quickly dispels his daydream fantasies of dogfights and glory, and one unshakeable Jerry on his bomber’s tail paves the way to a hell that few men escape and a mountain of bones that reach to the moon.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”

Thus reads the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. And yet, as Dr. Richard Tobias argues in this book, recent decisions by the Supreme Court and the repeated battering by strongly religious Congressional members of this core tenet and its corollary—the separation of church and state—have placed the longstanding ideals of democracy in danger.
