Know My Name

The Defining Decade

Set in Lombardy during the Spanish occupation of the late 1620s, this is the story of two young lovers prevented from marrying. A story of enduring passion, this is one of the greatest European historical novels.
Renegades
The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies — humans with extraordinary abilities who established peace and order where chaos reigned. They remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone…except the villains they once overthrew. Nova is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice — and in Nova. But Nova’s allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both.

My American Journey
Born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica, Colin knew the rough life of the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history—Vietnam, the Pentagon, Panama, Desert Storm—but a history that until now has been known only on the surface.
