I love to write and share stories that are current, meaningful, educational, and entertaining. In this sense, I consider myself a historical fiction writer.

Each of my fiction books evolves heavily around historical events and facts. Often in my novels, what is presented as a fact in the context of my story is in reality a historical fact that is relevant and potentially meaningful to society today. It is the use of meaningful facts - the heavy research and fascinating historical truths that I often use to draw and weave my multi-plot storylines together - that are the foundations for which I create my geopolitical thrillers that have found meaning and entertained readers all over the world.

One of the great privileges life as a working author has offered me is the opportunity to travel and research the subjects or topics to which I intend to write about. At the cornerstone of each of my writing projects is my critical personal demand to find the balance as a historical fiction writer between the use of historical truths and the liberty I have as a novelist to use these important facts to create a story that readers will find to be of great interest. In order to find a perfect blend that distinguishes between fact and fiction, one of the many techniques I have used that afford a reader to distinguish between the two is the citing of specific times, dates, statistics, or other historical events. Thus far, and having heard from scores of readers from around the world, this technique has worked well, and has allowed me to create a wide range or historical fiction evolving around the core genre of geopolitical/geocultural thrillers including WAR ON WALL STREET, CLONING CHRIST, THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN, CHASING THE CYCLONE, PREDATORS GAMES (Winter 2011), and QUEST (Spring, 2011).

As many individuals who read my various writings and follow my social advocacy, I am a very big believer and supporter of public libraries everywhere. In my love of libraries, I have even coined the phrase 'librophiliac', which means 'a person who has great appreciation of and supports a library'. Unquestionably by perspective and by act, I am a librophiliac. Each of my books has been written in part at the New York City Central Library on 5th Avenue, beautiful Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza Central Library, and Columbia University's Butler Library. Oh, there have been other libraries I have written or conducted research from. Each of which I relish and cherish the time I spent there, including The Library of Congress, The Vatican Library, and the Los Angeles Central Library.  In my love and appreciation of libraries, I have also learned and embraced just how important it is for library patrons to demonstrate support of their libraries. On this note, I have found it deeply rewarding to show my financial support of libraries big and small all across the world. This is something I intend to continue to do, particularly since in my view, libraries are simply not about books and reading, though this is a core offering of libraries, but as I see it, each nation's libraries are highly interactive cultural institutions.

In addition, many of you are aware that I am actively involved in the area of preventing international parental child abductions from occurring. My interest and activism is based upon my own experience, whereas I was unexpectedly forced to enter into the most horrific personal storms I could have ever imagined as my child was used as a pawn by his other parent.  Tragically, international parental child abduction is a known act of criminal kidnapping under federal law. It is also cited by various government institutions and leading experts from around the world as a cruel form of child abuse. In the vast majority of cases, the abducting parent creates a well thought out fraudulent scheme that will allow that person to kidnap the child or children abroad. Knowing that this type of act typically does not go unpunished despite the fact that there are both ample state and federal criminal laws created to enforce such act only facilitates this illicit behavior. And unfortunately, I, like the tens of thousands of parents each year who face this same type of act are all too aware of the fact that many of the courts and judiciary who are charged with overseeing the welfare of a child when it comes to an abduction issue are not fully up to speed or knowledgeable of the complex issues concerning international child kidnapping. This lack of knowledge includes the depth to which there are both short-term and long-term wellness issues for the child, the fact that, according to numerous government and authoritative studies, an abductor often demonstrates sociopathic behavior during and after a child's abduction (assuming the child is safely recovered), and that the malicious attacks toward the left-behind targeted parent often breach numerous criminal and civil laws. 

Fortunately, the tide is beginning to turn as society's understanding that international child abduction is in fact a crime of state and federal kidnapping, and that the act of abduction by a parent is a terrible act of child abuse. Notwithstanding the above, the conspiracy to kidnap and steal a child abroad often includes the breach of numerous additional criminal laws and orders of a court of local jurisdiction. The acts of parental alienation and child manipulation are often visible: their effects tragic and potentially long-lasting for a defenseless child who, by act of the abducting parent, is often denied a life of innocence that each child is entitled to. Instead, the child is deprived of the love of their other parent and all to often mentally and spiritually manipulated into thinking untruthful things about the other parent by act of the abducting parent - who is desperate to try to sanction their own criminal behavior.

Attempting to sanction their criminal behavior of international child kidnapping in the international courts is something that a parental kidnapper often spends time doing well before their act of criminal abduction. Truth is their criminal conspiracy, as cited by the United States Department of State, the Department of Justice, and leading authorities from around the world, is well-planned, as opposed to the targeted parent, who is often clueless and unsuspecting that an abduction is planned. Unfortunately, there are rules within international law that may allow for an abductor to be able to sanction their criminal behavior.

Specifically under the civil court proceedings of The Hague Convention's Article 13, an abductor may be able to sanction their crime of international kidnapping by attempting to demonstrate that a return of the abducted child to the child's jurisdiction of origin is not in the best interest of the child. Often, and I was not immune to this, is the deceitful act by an abducting parent to make false and fraudulent claims to the courts and to government agencies against the targeted parent. Notwithstanding these acts, there is often a public defamation campaign created well in advance of their criminal act of abduction, typically by unknown or anonymous sources whereas the abductor and those who they conspire with will attempt to create a false persona of the targeted parent. Why is this done? The answer is very direct: in order to sanction their own criminal behavior.  

In my own situation, I was the target of such acts. Unfortunately, I was not aware at the time that these acts were initiated several years prior to my child's abduction. Fortunately, the international courts were able to see through the malicious charade that was directed toward me by a person with a notorious past - a past I was not initially aware of. The Hague Court ruled in my favor as evidence was ruled upon that demonstrated the fraudulent conspiracy of defamation and slander by the abducting parent. Tragically for many, including myself, the acts of slander and defamation of character are all part of an abductor's defense. Fortunately, I was able to take legal action through various courts and had much of the content removed. However, federal laws do exist that preclude content posted by a third party to be removed on the Internet. In fact, the New York State Supreme Court issued an arrest warrant for one of the individuals who conspired to act with untruthful malice toward me who had conspired with the abductor.
