Wounded Tiger is the award-winning, compelling, and inspirational true story of Mitsuo Fuchida, the Japanese pilot who led the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II. A #1 bestseller on Amazon with one of the highest five-star ratings of any novel, Wounded Tiger won the Foreword Indies Book of the Year Award in War and Military. Fuming with a hatred for Americans with a strong sense of national pride, Fuchida allows an intense passion and determination to lead him through the ranks of the Japanese Navy and reaches a position he always believed he would achieve. Jake DeShazer joins the U.S. Army as a bombardier, burning with vengeance after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He becomes a POW for years, battling insanity in solitary confinement until he discovers the secret for change. The Covells, an American family of educators and missionaries in Japan, flee the country to the Philippines. When they do, the oldest daughter, Peggy, becomes intertwined with someone unexpected, and unknowingly impacts the course of Fuchida's life and sets him on a spiritual journey. Three seemingly unrelated narratives come together in this well-researched character-driven story of hatred, love, revenge, and faith. This expanded second edition includes over 250 rare historical photographs, maps, and images and 10,000 more words.

Dear Black Boy is a letter of encouragement to all of the black boys around the world who feel like sports are all they have. It is a reminder that they are more than athletes, more than a jersey number, more than a great crossover or a forty-yard dash, that the biggest game that they'll ever play is the game of life, and there are people rooting for them off of the courts and fields, not as athletes, but as future leaders of the world. The same things that make these strong beautiful black boys great on whatever playing surface they choose are the same things that will propel them forward in life: mental toughness, dedication, passion, determination, and effort are all things that carry over into the game of life. With the right preparation, every Black Boy can win.
