... vigorous, well developed characters, vibrant dialogue and as much hair raising action as the reader can handle... Highly Recommended -- Molly's Reviews (Molly Martin)

Product Description

A high school student, Kevin Wells, while serving on an ROTC color guard at a U.S. sponsored trade conference, is confronted with the imminent assassination of a foreign head of state. In an attempt to save the life of Trinidad-Tobago’s Prime Minister, Ahmad Shah, Kevin is shot and nearly dies. By the time Kevin regains consciousness 10 days later, he has become a national hero and his life has changed forever.

Before he leaves the hospital, Kiran Shah, the Prime Minister’s daughter comes to visit to thank him for saving her father’s life. Kevin, who has been searching for his soul mate, is overwhelmed by Kiran’s radiance and beauty and thinks she might be the one. Unfortunately when she returns to Trinidad-Tobago, Kevin fears he will never see her again.

Much to his shock and delight, Kevin is summoned to Trinidad-Tobago by the Prime Minister to testify against his alleged assassin. Kevin is delighted since this will allow him to see Kiran again. What Kevin doesn’t know is that the Prime Minister’s enemies plan to kill him before he can testify.

More About the Author

I'm originally from Ventura, California where I grew up during the 50s and 60s. My wife Janet and I were married while I was attending UCLA and she was attending nursing school. We immediately started having children and had three boys and a girl by the time I graduated from SMU Law School. With four young children we decided to stay in Dallas, where we had family and friends, rather than returning to California. I started law practice in the late 70's and today practice consumer law with my son, Jim. About twelve years ago I took on a famous romance author as a client and, after working with her for a while, I started wondering if I could write a novel myself. Eventually I gave it a shot and found I really enjoyed the writing process. After that it only took a few generous reviews of my first novel and I was hooked. My current novel, Tarizon: Civil War is my fourteenth and my goal is to continue to write a novel a year for the rest of my life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trouble in this book, June 8, 2004

This review is from: Trouble in Trinidad (Audio Cassette)

"Trouble in Trinidad" is weak, pulp writing at best. The author shows little depth at developing believable characters, especially the main character, Kevin. The worst part is when the main character seriously encourages his love interest to "just forget" the fact that she was raped--and she agrees that's the best way to deal with the problem. Just block something terrible out of your mind. It'll go away! My girlfriend said it was obvious that a man was the author. "Trouble in Trinidad" gave me hope that I could write a novel!

This review is from: Trouble in Trinidad: An epic tale of love politics and betrayal. A Novel. (Hardcover)

I enjoyed this book. The main character tries his best to do what is necessary to keep within his moral beliefs. Adventure and romance, with intrigue mixed in. We need more people like Kevin in this world. Fun read.
