The latter half of the 21st century, and ills mankind has grown used to for the past 75 years have proven a medical disaster. Cheap, throw-away cellular devices have contributed to the development of a species known as "C-Pheads," for the cell phone emissions that have impacted their heads in a way detrimental to cognitive reasoning. A full diet of genetically engineered food for a lifetime has reduced millions to uncaring, unfeeling, unnatural individuals. These are known as "G-Engines." Together, undergirded by mass use of a designer drug, the planet is replete with evil, vicious people....

Fortunately she quickly comes to realizes that a cousin with an accounting degree earned on line is not the person to be handling her millions in income, and she finally comes to terms with local and federal governments concerning her arrear taxes....

The international financial development communities and the diplomatic communities in Washington, D.C. and New York City are rocked to their very foundations when members of the terrorist organization al Qaeda Norte unleash devastating attacks on a number of major cities throughout the American mainland.

Ricky Jackson had done it all, primarily along with his crew. He started drinking beer at the tender age of 14, moved on to marijuana and on occasion shot "joogie," or heroin, with his friends. But his friends kept on shooting joogie, and Ricky didn't particularly like the feel of being "comatose." But he found other highs on the streets of D.C.: Angel Dust; "Luv Boat" or Pcp; Dilaudids or "Ds;" Preludin/Bam. By the time he decided to try crack cocaine, all of his heroin-addicted friends were long dead. And he would be dead too, if he kept up the use of crack. _x000D__x000D_On a final, near...

Willette Jenkins was blacker than poet James Weldon Johnson's hundred midnights. Her family moved to Washington, D.C. in the early 1950s during a time when a lot of blacks in America were as "color-struck" as many of the nation's white citizens. Willette was a considerable beauty, with a darkness that virtually shined and features which would fit well in ancient Egyptian artwork. She was a most sought after young lady by men who were seeking first-hand proof of the old maxim, "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the cherry." And if Willette was viewed as fruit by young suitors, she was set on...

He was a wealthy American businessman, took a break from the hustle and bustle, went to Jamaica and found a most alluring exotic dance club. In time, he became enamored of one particular dancer. But with all his wealth, could he get the young lady off the pole and turn this "honey" into a housewife?

In the heart of Washington, D.C. there is an ongoing conflict. It is simmering just below the surface most days, and periodically boils to the surface late at night with unexpected, often violent outcomes. The conflicting personalities are as diverse in social background as they are in physical appearance: the historic blacks of the Shaw and Adams Morgan communities, and the "new gentry," most young, most white, many gay. The community's conversions are nearing completion, with the last generation of the historic residents unable to keep up with soaring property values, disappearing rental...
