Fraud Stories

David's buying trip in France is interrupted by the disappearance of a friend and millions of francs worth of wine. When he stays behind to assist and comfort his friend's wife, Catherine, their lives are threatened. As the danger intensifies, they are drawn closer together, uncovering buried traumas, insecurities, and longings. Set on the Burgundy canals and in the French wine trade of the 1980s, Spilt Wine is a crime thriller of mounting tension, realisation, and passion. Although this is a work of fiction, most of the locations, many of the adventures, and some of the characters are real or rooted in reality. David's behaviour and relationships are shaped by his autism, alexithymia, and asexuality, all of which were far less understood when this story is set, and I write of these from my own experience. The reminiscences, stories, and timeline draw on events from my own life, though some have been rearranged to suit the novel. Fortunately, the crimes and the criminals are fictional, and any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental.

It begins on a quiet Christmas Eve. Four friends sit in a room with nothing to do and nowhere to be. Jokes fill the silence, boredom feels harmless, and the night promises nothing more than time passing. Out of curiosity, they open a small AI tool - not to change anything, just to watch patterns move. Then something does. The AI notices money shifting through an account that should have disappeared years ago. At first, it feels like a glitch. A mistake. Something old resurfacing by accident. They laugh it off. They play detectives. They convince themselves they're in control. They aren't. As they look closer, the world responds in quiet ways - unexplained calls, strange alerts, moments that don't add up. No threats. No warnings. Just enough pressure to make them realise they've been noticed. What they uncover isn't a single scam, but a system that never really stopped. One that has learned to hide in plain sight, protected by power that can't be challenged. There are no heroes waiting to fix it. There's no authority they can trust. Under the weight of fear and closeness, relationships shift. Romance grows softly, not as escape, but as something real to hold onto when certainty disappears. Humour darkens. Choices become heavier. When the risk becomes undeniable, they face a question with no clean answer: expose the truth - or survive it. Guided by the same AI that started everything, they choose to disappear digitally, breaking habits, erasing traces, and stepping away before the system closes in. The evidence remains. Untouched. Unshared. Time passes. Life continues. They are safe - but changed. The world moves on as if nothing happened. The money keeps moving. Quietly. Because sometimes, the truth exists - and staying alive means letting it stay hidden.

AIRS is the personal life story of Afariougun Makamantirazaria, a semi-retired African military ruler and self-recorded war hero who sets out to document his adventures in power through two cycles in the Presidential Palace. A story of tyranny in its most soporific mutation, it details the "journey" in self-service of the man of uncommon destiny. He takes us from an early childhood of crushing lack, unmitigated child labour and complete loss of innocence through a youth defined by unsettled existence to the commanding heights of professional influence and political power. Indeed early enough, the narrator tries to induce or hypnotize the reader into thinking they are on a trip, with him on duty as tour guide. His story opens with his unexpected and miraculous release from certain-death row straight to the presidential palace (The Rock of Ages). This marks his second tour of duty in power. From there Field Marshal Makamantirazaria, the Balogun Ogbunabali of WasteCoast [pronounced Wartshe-coarse-ash] looks back to recount his own story of grass to affluence, and of a fall from grace to "grave" and back to glory. He sincerely believes his fate is a prophetic story of his homecoming. In any case, he does not understand why the world is reluctant to acknowledge him the Black messiah and is strangely unhinged by this fact. Therefore, he intends to publicize his story abroad as the alternate national history of his country under the presumptuous title of "My Life as a Bridge to My Own Dear Native Land". In three "books' of his memoirs, he details the colonial influence, poverty, violence, intrigues, divisions, despondency, wars and arrested development that headline his own era. He relives what he considers a personal call and heroism forged by accidents of history that litter the path through which he has trod to his mission. As historical faction, these stories are cluttered with an array of characters and global historical personages of the 20th and 21st centuries.

"The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out because it was properly executed." -Honore de Balzac. In 2012, at Chicago's Sacred Heart Hospital, doctors were accused of performing unnecessary surgeries for profit on mostly vulnerable older people with disabilities, nursing home residents. You would think when the FBI raided the Hospital, and doctors were sent to jail for Medicare fraud, the story ends, but it doesn't. No doctor was ever tried for performing unnecessary surgeries. One Sacred Heart doctor Physician D who was accused of performing unnecessary surgeries and keeping patients longer than necessary, has been practicing for years unmonitored and hidden at Chicago's politically connected Thorek Hospital. COVID-19's "NO VISITOR" policy gave Physician D, A GREEN LIGHT TO KILL. This book aims to bring attention to Thorek Hospital, get justice for Emma, and get the word out about politically connected Thorek Hospital in Chicago. Chapter Ten, The Medical Execution of Emma Smith, tells how Emma was mistreated during Thorek Hospital's COVID-19 no-visitor policy. We know it has happened to others. This book is dedicated to Emma, now deceased, and the thousands of older people and people with disabilities whose Civil Rights were violated and forced to die alone across the U.S. during COVID-19. Thorek, a non-profit Hospital with a bad reputation even before the pandemic, does not pay State, Federal, or Local taxes. In contrast, Chicago's property taxes continue to spiral out of control, forcing the middle class out of the City, County, and State), is connected to a local elected official who ironically (collects taxes) and her spouse COO of the Hospital who has collected millions of dollars in salary over the years from this tax-exempt entity. These people will tell you, "You must work hard and pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
