i Join Walton Langston as he leaves the Police Academy to serve as a uniformed policeman. He is selected to become his dream, a detective. Paired up with Manuel Jimenez the two soon become legends in the department because of their off-the wall but efficient methods of nabbing the criminal element. They are known as the Terrible Two by their fellow officers. When joined by another odd ball, black detective John Bradford, they continue their crusade against crime as the Titillating Three. You also get to know paramedic Wallace Brown who, as a police volunteer, poses as a black minister, the Bishop of the Church of the Esoteric Involuntary Manumission. There are moments of high tension and some belly laughs as they practice their unorthodox means of solving crime and confusing criminals.

A 16-year-old is to be hung for patricide when a whore, for reasons of her own, gets him out of jail. He flees to the town of Salt Flats, Kansas in the Flint Hills; becomes a trusted clerk in a store, later becomes a partner, marries the niece of the storekeeper, and becomes one of the most respected citizens of Salt Flats. He even serves a stint as Marshall and State Representative. Accurate and thrilling portrail of the wooly west in the latter part of the 19th centry through WWI. Very interesting.

In a turbulent manner they sail around John 'O Groats to the eastern shore of Scotland and thence to America. A new career as silversmith and portraitist extraordinaire wait him on the new continent. Allan has to face duels and a haunting seductress to live his astonishing life. Historically accurate and convincingly enthralling.

i A college professor is denied tenure and finds a treasure reminiscent of that found by Edmund Dante, the Count of Monte Christo. He moves to the Gulf Coast where gambling casinos make new wealth invisible; meets a beautiful widow with a seven-year-old son who needs surgery for a hole in his heart. This is a love story and a warm human story of as child who is made whole by modern medicine. The other stories run the gamut from the humorous to the detestable but oh so apt situations that our modern world develops.

A nationally prominent Quarterback prospect loses an eye in a scrimmage accident. He overcomes this grisly accident to play football anyway, but not as QB. There is college love, pregnant coeds, marriage, and hope. There are also eight short stories of all genres, two of which are horror stories but without a lot of blood. All are written with humor and are good reading. One farce of the Age of Chivaly is probably the author's favorite.
