Martin Milton Madellbaum was a feebish, mouse of a man who, throughout his life had been trampled by everyone in his life from his overbearing mother to his condescending and haughty boss who is unafraid to use—steal—his hard work and good ideas. But in his own way, and behind the scenes, Martin is planning his revenge and it will come in a way that now one could have predicted. A novel of heart-pounding suspense, peppered with touching and tender, moving moments that make the overlooked loser a beloved character.

A tender but haunting tale of star-crossed lovers who—after a brief, chance meeting—are destined to discover their own magic, comes to life along the rugged Monterrey coast of California. Set in the 1940s, the war provides a colorful background for the couple and their innkeeper as they live in one of the most celebrated, most obscure estate homes in America—carved out of solid rock in the cliffs that line the shore. It is a mystery, a love story, and a suspense thriller rolled into one.

Revisit the wild and carefree era of surfing and beach parties in Southern California as reflected in the unrealistic but wildly popular movies of the early sixties. In a humorous novel, the cast reunites at Comic-Con 35 years later and all is not sunshine and love as times and personalities have changed over time. It’s a wild romp that covers two eras, a dozen actors, and produces laughter with every turn of the page in a fast and hilarious flashback. 

Set in a high school reunion where everyone is nervously hoping to reestablish themselves while reliving the past, a guest at the hotel mistakenly meanders into the crowd and is mistaken for the former star athlete and big man on campus—The Golden Boy. A meek and lonely man in his real life, Arthur Dingle decides to assume the new persona thrust on him and lives his dream for an exhilarating but short time.
