Shadow Soldiers: Iran’s Global Proxy Strategy A Wake-Up Call for Every American

 Book Cover



Iran’s shadowy network of terror and espionage is closer than you think. Shadow Soldiers: Iran’s Global Proxy Strategy takes readers on a gripping journey into the heart of Iran’s state-sponsored terror operations that threaten safety both within the United States and across the globe. This eye-opening book unveils how Iran deploys militias, spies, and armed groups under the guise of religion and social justice to disrupt global stability. These proxies aren’t just Middle Eastern problems—they operate in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and even here in the U.S. They engage in terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering, and espionage, creating a web of chaos that challenges American security and sovereignty. Authoritatively researched, this book exposes Iran’s methods: using ideological propaganda to recruit militia members, funding operations through illegal financial systems, and arming groups like Hezbollah, Iraqi militias, and the Houthis. Behind it all lies the Iranian regime’s manipulation of religious devotion and fear to build unwavering loyalty among its proxies—ensuring their survival is tied to the regime’s own. More chillingly, Shadow Soldiers uncovers how these networks directly target U.S. interests. From orchestrating attacks on American officials to fostering instability in conflict zones like Syria and Iraq, Iran’s actions have far-reaching consequences. The regime’s ability to deny responsibility while causing devastation makes it a formidable and dangerous adversary. Through this riveting exploration, readers will learn how Iran’s proxies weaponize grievances and fear to mobilize communities, creating a dangerous narrative of existential threats. Policymakers, security experts, and every concerned American citizen will find this book an essential guide to understanding the covert strategies of a global threat that hits closer to home than many realize. Shadow Soldiers is more than a book—it’s a call to action for anyone who values safety, security, and a stable world order. Are you prepared to confront the reality of Iran’s proxy network? This is your chance to uncover the truth and protect what matters most.

Le Requin is a story about two retired brothers, one a former Naval officer and the other a former Engineer, who love the ocean and sailing. After renting a beautiful sailboat in Corpus Christi, Texas, they set out to cross the Gulf of Mexico, sailing and scuba diving along the way. Their ultimate destination is Key West, Florida, where they intend to fish, relax, see the sights, and bask in the South Florida sunshine. Not long after beginning their voyage, they encounter a group of drug smugglers who are using an old submarine and an offshore oil rig supply boat to transport drugs into the United States. The ruthless dictator from a small, Central American country is behind this operation and is not leaving any witnesses to testify against him. When the brother’s sailboat is observed near an abandoned oil derrick being used to help facilitate the drug transfer, the captain of an Off-shore oil rig supply boat destroys it, thinking its occupants are in the boat, he wants to make sure they are on their way to the bottom of the Gulf. Once back at the pier in Galveston, Texas, in an attempt to recover the $1,000,000.00 paid for their efforts, the Central American dictator has his contacts in the US destroy the offshore oil rig supply boat, killing all on board. The boat’s captain survives, only to be killed a short time later and eventually buried in the soft sandy soil outside Galveston.
The two brothers, who were able to make it safely into Galveston, witness the dictator’s two henchmen's recovery of the dead captain and are able to find the money paid to the supply boat's crew. They use this money to help finance the rest of their trip, only to come across the submarine again. This time, they are able to alert the authorities and help prevent the escape of both the submarine and the dictator’s US-based crew.

Yakuza and the Underworld

 Book Cover


Someone said to me," In the Japanese sense, it's not about morality or injustice, it's about face and honor." I'll give you an example of that. That's Yakuza. It can be said that it is cancer in Japan. Police officers call Yakuza Bouryokudan (violence groups), but Yakuza members often call themselves “Gokudou” (Adelstein: Tokyo Vice, p. 3), which means the ultimate path. First, I will write about the background and history of Yakuza. After that, I will introduce various crimes committed by Yakuza. These include sexual slavery, prostitution, drugs, gun smuggling, and more. Then we will talk about the most important organizations of Yakuza. Japan's most important groups are Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-Rengou, Inagawa-kai and Tou-A-kai. Finally, I will describe recent events. I interviewed Jake Adelstein and a government official at the Japanese National Police Agency about the important content of this study. Adelstein is a former Yomiuri Newspaper reporter and a Yakuza expert.

A Box of Frogs: A Highclere Inn & Carriage House Mystery

 Book Cover


An electric fence, a beautiful cryptic box, and the wildest goose chase this side of Muskoka.
The Valentines’ world is about to be zapped with a bolt of mayhem and mystery! When centenarian Senator Miles “The Tank” Valentine meets an electrifying end at his own resort, Highclere Inn & Carriage House, the shocks are just beginning. The arrival of a mystery box, posthumously sent by the Senator’s long-deceased first wife, Lady Jean Valentine, sets off a series of comical calamities and dramatic conspiracies that touch everyone from Highclere’s aging quirky guests to its staff and neighbors. Enter the Senator's grandson, the self-described “fabulous” Mason Valentine, and his investigative journalist cousin, Cordelia “Cici” Bradshaw, tasked with unraveling a web of family intrigue thicker than a lake effect fog. Witty banter flies faster than a loon’s call as “A Box of Frogs” bounds from page to page, oscillating between outrageous humor, a twisty-turny mystery, quiet ruminations, gripping suspense, and a cast that's—as Lady Valentine herself would say—crazier than a box of frogs. This is one amusing, insightful, and unexpected caper where solving the puzzle could mean finding more than what you bargained for. As Mason and Cici will soon find out, sometimes the biggest mysteries in life don’t fit neatly inside a box.
