The second novel, "Finding Christmasville," was published in December of 2012 while the third, tentatively entitled, "Saving Christmasville," is slated for publication in October of 2019.

The novel, Emperor of the House of Cards, which is a fictional distillation of the author's employment in the hotel and casino industry (including eight years with the Trump Organization), will be available in the foreseeable future.
