This contemporary fictional story, anchored in ancient biblical history, is about two obscure, violent convicts. Through the supernatural effects of a bizarre and mysterious wooden corpus, they reach out to one another, spanning time and space across two millennia, in each’s individual search for meaning and identity in the midst of chaos, defeat, and despair. DJ Morgan and his first-century counterpart finally meet, to share the great cosmic moment of redemption. This is not just another book about the search for biblical antiquity. It is the gripping story of a disruptive, soul-searing, life-changing event for two men who were lost, then found.

This is a fictional novel of a son, estranged from his enigmatic father after years of mutual sparring. Liam Mayfair loses all hope of reconciliation with his father when J.W. Mayfair, naval war hero and renowned trial attorney, is killed aboard Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island on July 17, 1996. When Liam accidentally discovers a recording that reveals the true cause of the crash, he is suddenly catapulted out of self-pitying complacency and deep depression into the firestorm of an international terrorist conspiracy and massive government cover-up. Liam Mayfair, barely turned 23 years old, is faced with the moral dilemma of a lifetime as he reluctantly teams up with a retired FBI agent to foil a plot to destroy him, his family, and the truth. This is a compelling story about the risks and rewards involved in his search for that elusive truth. Liam's Promise is a tale of one man's decision to follow his conscience despite the devastating costs which threaten his family and country.
