In Neophyte a fledgling university public relations officer attends his first board of trustees meeting and at dinner finds himself seated between a predator heiress and a hail-fellow-well-met, much too likeable misogynist homophobe.
In Gohn, a family foundation executive director and her father make their first site visit to a well-regarded social service organization only to discover that it is in part financed by a very shady philanthropist.
Sandhill Crane Estates follows the downfall of a Florida neighborhood association tyrant.
Race Day is a kick ass high seas sailing adventure that finds a group of clueless 30 somethings caught in series a squalls and drifting toward the rocky Tortola shoreline in a disabled charter sailboat.
A Little White Lie shows a bishop struggling with how to best save her diocese through approaching a very wealthy couple and recognizing that as part of the process she must lie in a manner as grandiose as it is ridiculous.
