Just Poor
'Just Poor' is set in England in 1795. It is the story of Mary O’Donnel, a girl of extraordinary intelligence who starts life as an uneducated orphan, trapped in a world of rural futility. At the age of twelve, after insulting the local Lord, she is cast out from her community. Returning four years later, she befriends Lord Laurence’s sister, enters into his household, and succeeds in getting his commitment to help the poor.
All too soon, costs escalate, and Lord Laurence begins to wonder if Mary’s motive is charity or vengeance…

The God of Atheists
Three men wake up one morning and decide to take what they have not earned. Dan, a shifty entrepreneur, starts a software company to cash in on the high-tech boom. Al, a down-and-out music producer, bullies his handsome son into forming a boy-band. Alder, an obscure academic, steals a brilliant idea from a grad student. As they exploit the talents of the naïve youths around them, their fame and wealth increase – but they become more and more terrified of exposure and destruction.
