Welcome!
Located
in Ohio's celebrated Cleveland Flats, Jim's Steak House was the place to go
for people from Cleveland to London and beyond. Thousands of patrons from boat
captains to school teachers to movers and shakers celebrated anniversaries,
weddings, birthdays, graduations, special memories, and more of Jim's. While
dining on their favorite choice cuts of beef and famous hash browns, they
ogled the fabled Cuyahoga River, the Terminal Tower, and giant oar boats
easing round Collision Point.
Beginning with the restaurant's founding in 1930 by Greek emigrant, James Kerkles, the story recounts his marriage to much younger, and colorful Hilda Hoffman. After Kerkles' untimely death, Hilda (later to be known as The Queen of the Flats) nurtured her two most cherished "babies": Jim's Steak House and her deceased sister's son, Raymond Rockey.

A stubborn
journalist with old-fashioned notions of what the job
entails uncovers an insidious plot by the President of the United States to
use domestic terrorism as an excuse to abolish the Constitution. His means?
Manipulation of ratings-hungry media willing to cut corners to grab a scoop.
Zackery Stearn founded his Miami alternative press, The Boca, to provide an
island of truth in the great sea of infotainment the modern media had
become. The depth of deception he's discovered shocks even a self-professed
cynic like him. Now all he has to do is stay alive long enough to expose the
plot.
Jack Carr, news director of Nashville's TV-12, believes in two kinds of time: his and real. He also believes in two kinds of chance: good and bad. Not sure who is writing the larger “script,” Jack weaves his way through a host of unsavory characters who are involved in kidnapping and body part trafficking. Falling for an undercover agent in the process sets both up for death. As they struggle to stay alive, time and chance unfold in a tangle of lies, greed, rape and murder.
Sixteen short stories that round out the human condition. Easy, rewarding reading.
