Fortune's Favored
Historical fiction at its heroic best, set against the backdrop of Wall Street during a time when the most outrageous illicit profits were made at the expense of trusting investors. The scope and scale of corporate transgressions in the late 1990s-such as those involving Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom-surpassed anything the U.S. had seen since the years leading up to the Great Depression. The collapse of Enron marked the largest bankruptcy in he nation's history, only to be eclipsed six months later by the downfall of WorldCom under Ebbers.Highly regarded companies were employing convoluted and often fraudulent accounting tactics to inflate earnings, conceal losses, and artificially drive up stock prices. The root of the problem was not merely a few "bad apples," but systemic and structural flaws that demanded a federal statutory remedy-namely, a lack of auditor independence, lax standards of corporate governance, and significant conflicts of interest among securities analysts.

The Voyage Of The Evangelist
The Voyage of the Evangelist is a fictional blending of two events which appear in the historical record for the eastern Mediterranean Sea in 828 CE. First, two Venetian merchants, anchored in the harbor of Alexandria, Egypt, smuggled the remains of St. Mark out of that city with the aid of two Coptic churchmen by hiding them under palettes of pork in the hold of their galley which the Moslem guards would not touch, and took them back to Venice where they were ultimately installed at the Piazza San Marco in St Mark's Basilica. The trip back to Venice was perilous and St. Mark performed a variety of miracles to ensure a safe journey home. Second, an Arab warrior named Abu Hafs, previously forced first out of Spain, and then again Alexandria, led an invasion of Crete, created an emirate and allowed a safe harbor for piracy to thriveUsing these stories, I have attempted to portray the Mediterranean world of late antiquity, and particularly the conflicts between the remaining Roman Empire at Constantinople, their chronic Arab enemies in Africa and Asia, and a Venice led by a merchant class attempting to build a new empire based on trading with both. There are twenty substantial characters propelling the plot, men and women of various ages and ethnicities, with different attitudes towards slavery, political allegiances and issues of religious faith, particularly the then prevalent obsession with relics.
