In the tradition of other great ex-patriot stories like The Sun Also Rises or All the Pretty Horses, Native Moments is a coming-of-age adventure set among the lush landscape of Costa Rica. After the death of his brother, Sanch Murray leaves for a surf trip as a way to cope and sets out on a quixotic search for an alternative to the American Dream. Set in 1999 Costa Rica, Sanch and his friend Jake Higdon wander the dirt roads of Tamarindo and surrounding areas chasing waves as a way to live out the romantic fantasy lifestyle of traveling surfers. Jake Higdon, six years Sanch’s senior, takes on the role of the wise leader and Sanch as his young apprentice. Sanch’s adventure leads to encounters with people who share world views he had never considered and could potentially shape his own changing perceptions about life. Through sometimes humorous episodes such as trying his hand as a matador at a road side rodeo or in his not so humorous battle with dysentery, Sanch explores life’s beauty and wonder alongside the darker undercurrents of humanity. Along his journey, Sanch befriends a shamanic traveler named Rob, young revolutionaries from Venezuela, numerous expatriates from around the world trying to escape whatever it is that keeps chasing them and a beautiful local girl named Andrea, who Sanch suspects is a prostitute but can’t help falling for.
His obsession with intricate puzzles and revenge surpasses brilliant, renowned chemist Dr. Frederick Rhineman’s fascination with genetics only. His most recent work with pathogens and ethnic heredity has resulted in discovering a formula that can pinpoint people of a specific nationality and eliminate them. When Rhineman unexpectedly dies of a massive heart attack, his secretary fulfills his last directive. She mails sixteen letters: four to foreign dignitaries of the world’s most volatile countries and twelve to the people Rhineman most hated. Each letter contains clues and a puzzle piece leading to a secret cache of ten million dollars and the lethal chemical formula. One of the letter recipients is an ex-marine turned private detective, Jake Wayde. As the inevitable killing spree ensues, Wayde’s unwittingly drawn into the deadly competition. The circle of suspects is quickly shrinking: Wayde must prevent the formula from falling into the wrong hands and find out who the other puzzle piece holders are, three of whom are women, before they find and kill him.

In Treacherous Estate, award-winning author Behcet Kaya introduces us to Jack Ludefance, a P.I. who lives aboard his 57-foot houseboat in the Florida Panhandle and keeps an alligator for security. Written from Jack’s first-person point of view; his commentary is frequently terse and self-deprecating. He is a man who knows his limitations and honest enough to admit them, but rarely indulges in self-pity. Unlucky in love and sometimes a bit awkward with women, he has the outward scar on his face from wrestling with a gator as a kid and the inward scar of the loss of his wife to divorce. While enjoying his usual Friday night after dinner beer at a local restaurant, Jack’s evening is suddenly shattered when a beautiful young woman sits down next to him, whispers, “Can you help me, Mr. Ludef…?” then falls dead. When her death is ruled ‘natural,’ Jack begins to investigate why she came to him desperately seeking his help. To complicate matters, her husband is a prominent, highly respected local businessman. As Jack unravels the pieces to the unsolved puzzle, the more heinous the crimes of the dead woman’s husband become and Jack finds his own life is in danger.
