    "For years he had trekked over the globe, passing everywhere under a new identity, as if at the demarcation lines on maps that signaled the boundaries of towns or provinces or countries he shed one skin and donned another. He had tried on entire pasts, entire histories, wearing them as loosely as borrowed shirts." Aaron Lugner is a chameleon. A skillful con-artist hidden in plain sight, he creates camouflage by wearing his attractiveness like a kind of cloak and blends within the visions those around him desire, preying upon their vulnerabilities. He is despicable, yet why then, like the women he romances, do we like him? When reminders from his past return Aaron to the US, he meets Myriam, a beautiful Amerasian, one of the "dust of life" orphaned by the Vietnam War. Desiring to change and convinced he is in love, Aaron vows never to lie to her. Away from Myriam, his lies begin to take on lives of their own. With her, his split selves threaten to collide. Fast-paced, character driven, and dialogue-rich, In the Chameleon's Shadow examines the nature of identity in a world where identities have become fluid. Part love story, part adventure, the novel will leave readers re-examining their own definitions of truth.

Readers will venture into the chaos of the war in Iraq and the cancerous inheritance after Vietnam, into Colorado mining towns and Wyoming missile silos.

    "As neighborhoods have grown up around the subterranean home of the narrator of Man, Underground, the city has initiated a review of his dwelling. Intent on ignoring the review process, his life is interrupted by a seventeen-year-old punk-inspired, Honor's student. Every bit as eccentric as the narrator, Monika declares that she will be his accomplice in a battle against the city, fighting the righteous fight against "the Man" and the ostracization commonly weaponized against those seen as "the other." As Monika creates "diversionary tactics" to focus the neighbors on other community concerns, the man she once only knew as "Mr. Underground Man" reluctantly begins to join in her idyllic and irrational protest movement that ultimately settles on a "yard art relocation" project. As an unlikely friendship begins to form, the two must come to face their tragic pasts and determine if they are capable of learning to trust others again. A fast-paced dark comedy, Man, Undergroun d will leave readers contemplating both the disruptions and the potential transformative power found in random acts of kindness."--Goodreads.
