The Sons of Lazarus
Unlike most of my writing, The Sons of Lazarus isn't humorous. At least, not intentionally so. This thriller is available from Amazon.com in paperback HERE and in Kindle format HERE.

Here's a teaser of the plot to whet your appetite.
On an ordinary Tuesday in November 2012, First Sergeant Matt Storey becomes another afternoon casualty during a bungled Union charge on the Confederates. It's his worst death in several months.
Back by popular demand: The War Between the States, portrayed with gritty realism by Civil Warfields' cast of thousands.
Spectators don't know it, but when these guys "take a hit," the bullets are real. After every battle, implants stimulate their DNA into self-cloning repair. As the reenactors like to say: "It's not just a job, it's an adventure."
But then the Union reenactors' implants begin to fail. And when the Confederate commanding general initiates a sadistic cat-and-mouse game by kidnapping Matt's best friend Charlie, Matt must venture alone into hostile Rebel territory--just when the stakes are highest.

The Sons of Lazarus...
...written under the influence of the notion that the world needed yet another novel.
