The Three Ts
This book was inspired by the unrest, indifference, and the covert actions of foreign governments interfering in the political or military affairs of Middle Eastern states all for the purpose of national security of those foreign nations. Religious and radical factions operating within the borders of those Middle Eastern States felt disenchanted and oppressed by outsiders and had resorted to terrorism as a way of persuading those foreign nations to cease and desist meddling in the affairs of their lands and vacate them. The potential of war on a scale not seen since World War II manifests from the actions of all, and war is sought by the radical religious groups that want a Holy War (Jihad). They see it as the only way to achieve autonomy. Countries in the Middle East that offer sanctuary to these radical groups lead to coalitions of foreign armies to invade those nations. Diplomacy failed as an amicable solution for sanctuary states to deal with their problem. This story is a hybrid narrative, a mixture of facts and fiction. The first book is part of a trilogy titled The Three Ts: Treason, Treachery, and Terrorism and will be followed by Precursor to War-The Awakening, and finally Oblivion-A New Beginning. These books will lay out a real and probable scenario of where we're heading if nothing changes.

On one Indian summer Friday night, things happen that change the course of hundreds of lives.In Winston-Salem, a tobacco and mill town in central North Carolina, people like to relax as the weekend comes nigh, and depending on whether they sit above or below the salt, they'll do so in different ways.Both the well-to-do and the less-thans are wizened practitioners of the art of steam blowing, all in the name of fun and respite. And in doing so, violence and deceit and sadness mingle with money and alcohol to create a dangerous, crackling third rail of despair. And the story is never exactly as it seems to be.This is a work of fiction built upon two true events that happened within hours of each other. All the players are entwined, a basket of snakes and innocents that are penned into embracing one another. The more things change, the more they stay the same.As E. B. White famously and drily noted, "It's never just one thing…"
