METAL VIPER

A poet-baker and his 12 year old son, Vika, have been arrested by Myanmar’s brutal Tatmadaw regime for their crime of “seditious poetry”—writing poetry for peace. Now, it is up to Kae Zhang and her Article 5 team to save the young poet, Vika.

ALL THERE IS TO KNOW

A provocative literary novel that follows artist and seeker Jake Elliot as he navigates the collision of spirituality, art, politics, love, and authoritarianism in modern America.

THE GARUDA’S CRY

Elliot Shapiro walked away from NSA where he had spent years applying what he called his nearly psychic ability as a synthesizer. It was an often uncanny capacity to assemble disparate bits of information and come up with an accurate vision of what was about to happen.

HUNGRY GHOST

When an invaluable Ming Dynasty painting from the ancient Water/Land Ritual is stolen from Tibet House, a locus for Santa Fe’s large Tibetan population, Elliot Shapiro and Elena Ranero are brought in to investigate the disappearance.
