Conversational Therapy is a debut collection of challenging and unusual short stories and one-act plays.In A KEEPSAKE MEMORY, a wrongfully imprisoned girl tries to escape the confines of an abandoned mental asylum and the treacherous hands of a psychotic doctor placed in charge of keeping her there. In ALLIGATOR RESORT, a SoHo prototype living a Bohemian lifestyle gets more than he bargains for on a family retreat to the great outdoors when a cloaked madman unleashes an army of lab engineered alligators on the slacker's family cottage. In PSYCHIATRIST'S PSYCHIATRIST, a distressed woman interviews with a new psychiatrist after her old one commits suicide. In THE LAST LAUGH, an excessively overweight comedian looks back on his arduous journey through life while presently navigating his claustrophobic condominium, the building's smallish elevators, and the lobby's makeshift comic stage.These and many more exhilarating pieces full of suspense, biting social commentary and black humor from the darkest depths of human psyche await the reader. Unrelenting, surreal, and even occasionally twisted tales which, more often than not, have a ring of truth and relatability outside the falsity and the make believe.…

The year is 1188, and Jerusalem is in the hands of the Infidel. Upstanding Crusaders and their squires—like Lord Roland Roucy de Bram and Pagan Kidrouk—are returning to Europe, hoping to rally more knights to their cause. The sardonic young Pagan expects Lord Roland’s family to be the picture of fortitude and good manners, but he is in for a rude awakening. Brutish and unfeeling, the de Bram clan cares nothing for the Crusades, or indeed for anything outside their neighborhood in France. Meanwhile, local unrest is brewing. Church authorities are duking it out with the de Brams over a group of "heretics" living nearby. And now Pagan and Roland, sworn to defend Christianity, are left to decide for themselves whom to stand by-and whom to trust.
