This book is for someone who wants to develop a relationship, or deeper relationship, with God, but isn't sure where to start. It is also for those who want to go on retreat but can't find a local retreat house or don't have the time to dedicate 2 or 3 consecutive days for a retreat. This book is in three sections: Knowing God, Loving God, Doing God's will. You can't love God until you know Him, and you won't care about doing His will until you love Him enough. So this book, using scripture extensively, helps you know God, so you can learn to love Him, and then desire to do His will. Then you iterate on that for the rest of your life.

HUNTING SALEH is a suspense/thriller featuring strong, brilliant, female characters, about a terrorist operation planned here on American soil, challenging the new administration of the first woman president. I haven’t yet seen a story that centers on a premier international terrorist who has their home base in the United States. Saleh, the antagonist, is the architect of an elaborate plot to execute the most spectacular operation this country has ever seen—one that will simultaneously take out the President, most of the Supreme Court, and many heads of Federal Departments. To accomplish that she must create several diversionary attacks and the condition to get the principals all together in one place to which she has access. Louise McCabe, the protagonist, is a former intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) who identified the author of numerous overseas operations as the work of one person, whom she called Saleh. She knew Saleh better than anyone. She left the Agency to devote herself full time to her family. When the DIA discovers Saleh is here in the United States, Louise is recruited to help uncover and obstruct the attack. My novel is commercial and intelligent with a cinematic appeal. It’s also utterly and terrifyingly believable.
