"This is Grisham on mushrooms." –Colin Broderick, author of Orangutan

THE WISE ASS (Book 1)
When Wise Guys meet the Wise Ass and friends, all hell breaks loose.
After his brothers are murdered, a New York mob lawyer testifies against his associates and is forced to enter WITSEC (the Witness Protection Program). He and his wife are relocated to a rural area outside a small town in Colorado where he is compelled to adapt to his new life under the constant threat of mafia reprisal. Reflexively resisting his immersion into all things country, this life long city boy meets and adopts a loquacious mule and befriends his closest neighbors, who have even greater secrets to conceal.
A renegade US Marshall, a lesbian couple that includes a powerful psychic-medium-witch and an ex-army ranger completes his new circle of friends. When the mob associates are released due to the lawyer's intentionally prejudicial testimony at trial, they come gunning for him before the retrial can occur.
AN ALIEN APPEAL (Book 2)
An Alien Appeal picks up where The Wise Ass left off, expands the roster of mystical and magical characters, reunites Jimmy with his last sibling and finds Jimmy and Everett traveling through space to Proxima b to answer to that planet's elite for Everett's decisions and Jimmy's continued existence.
All of Jimmy's wishes come true, including arguing his friend's case before the highest court in this galaxy, but there are prices to pay and Jimmy's life hangs in the balance. Love is tested and irrevocable choices are made.
These colorful characters' continuing evolution embraces love, interstellar courtroom drama, loss and tears. Of course, Claire plays her central role in the resolution of it all, but nothing remains the same. Beware the law of unintended consequences.
KISSING MY ASS GOODBYE (Book 3)
This final installment of The Claire Trilogy picks up where An Alien Appeal leaves off, expands the roster of mystical characters and introduces the next generation of Terran-Centauri hybrids. When the interstellar childrens' powers are inadvertently exposed to the Internet, Machiavellian twin tech tyrants attempt to kidnap them for their own nefarious purposes.
During the ultimate showdown between Claire and her family of misfits, one of the most powerful corporations on earth and the United States military, love is tested and lives are forfeited. Where will the survivors go from here? Be ready to say goodbye.
