DRIVING FORCES: Many forces drive us into the decisions we make: infidelity, new opportunity, chance meetings, rebel causes. Dr. Louise Hammel, an American-Australian, takes a job in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, as a Regional Long-Term Advisor for an educational porgram called PROMES. Her assigned Filipino driver, Rico Bernales, becomes enamored with a Muslim widow whose uncle is the leader of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). He is unwittingly drawn into the nefarious and dangerous underworld of the rebels. As the year progresses, Louise becomes more savvy in negotiating her way through complex issues of Filipino society, human relations, religion, education, culture, and politics, but she is unable to help her driver with his personal entanglements. In the end, she returns home to the USA leaving Rico to extricate himself from the vortex of impending dangers.

RINGS OF HUBRIS: Professor Josh Blagsdale's self-love and arrogance impels him to plan and then to conceal the murders of two wives, a lover, and a young man. As the story unmasks the father's character, his son must confront the moral question - can "hubris" be inherited? Contemporary issues such as immigration, poverty in favelas and human trafficking are woven into this psychological study. The novel is based on a true murder and a cold case file, proving that reality can indeed be stranger than fiction.
