THE URGENCY OF NOW

A love story set in Paris, New York, Aspen, Montauk, and Palm Beach

The Urgency of Now is the tale of sports photographer Pete Stanton, who is a hero, soldier, artist, and above all, a good man in love with a beautiful woman.

In this enchanting novel, author Dennis Shields has created a funny, touching, and complex saga of the twenty-first century that pays homage to Hemingway, O'Neill, and Fitzgerald while showing how a man can love a woman without losing himself.

The Urgency of Now, Dennis Shields' second book, establishes him as a seminal. thinker and a serious humorist.  He is in international businessman, storied raconteur, sportsman, and man about town.

Some say he has the mind of an Einstein, the wit of Oscar Wilde, and the good looks of a movie star.  Others don't.

He is a citizen of the world.

SCOUNDREL!

The Secret Memoirs of General James Wilkinson

In the humorous, iconoclastic tradition of George MacDonalds Fraser's Flashman novels, Gore Vidal's Burr, and Thomas Berger's Little Big Man, meet real-life scoundrel James Wilkinson as he lies, schemes, backstabs, and seduces his way through our nation's early history. 

In Scoundrel! historian and novelist Keith Thompson mixes fact and fiction with intense characterization and riveting story.  Scoundrel! is a book for anyone who loves adventure, and will hold special appeal for aficionados of historical fiction, military fiction, and U.S. history.

This first book, subtitled The True Spirit of '76, recounts Wilkinson's misadventures during the momentous year of 1776, starting at the siege of Boston, following him through Benedict Arnold's disastrous Canadian invasion, and ending with Washington's attack on Trenton.  Along the way he battles savage Indians, seduces beautiful women, fawns over egomaniacal generals, falls in with British spies, and betrays everyone who strays into his path.

In short, Scoundrel! is "History with Humor", and after experiencing Wilkinson's irreverent spin, the reader will never view the Revolution or the Founding Fathers the same way again.
