Experience the adventure of John and Suki!
Suki is an attractive, single young professional Libertarian, performing advanced technology research and looking for a bright, nice, acceptable boyfriend. Most of the time she works in her mother’s party planning office as Project Manager/Executive Secretary and all-around technology administrator.

Suki has an advanced education by 2032 standards, but it is not much more advanced that the top 25% of her peers from high school who also earned PhDs. She started college early, like many of her high school classmates.

She has experimented with many things, common for a woman of her time, for most anybody of her age, and she is growing out of that.

John is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, former defense contractor, current classic car creator and "small L libertarian." He has a comfortable condominium, a nice one-man-operation garage, one true best friend and never seems to meet a stranger.

He is a bit of a solitary man. After his son became a military lawyer and “left the nest”, John started tutoring subjects that he had taught his son and had tutored while he was in college, as a productive distraction from his business. It is also something he can do one-on-one, rather than having to deal with large groups.

John prefers women his own age or older and would be thrilled if he finds a woman who just wants to be nice to him.

Atlas Shrugged is now more popular abroad than in the USA.

The USA is recovering from the hyperinflation of the early part of the century. The rest of the world is rapidly adopting the free market and the rule of law.

Northern Virginia is slowly leaning toward libertarian style laws, taxes and freedoms, much to the dislike of the establishment in Washington, DC, right across the river.

In Virginia, the smoking policy in businesses is set by the owner. So is the concealed weapons carry policy. DC is the opposite.

Federal recreational drug laws have been all but eliminated. Virginia has eliminated most of theirs. Prostitution laws are largely ignored in cities across the country. In Virgina, as long as it is off the street it is tolerated. DC continues to issue tickets for suspected prostitution in public areas.

BDSM is more common in fashion and in commercial establishment themes, but the practice still has a slight stigma.

The story is set in the early 2030s. For more details about the background, see SukiSiteOrder the paperbacks and other formats.

Suki II: Sunshine Returns follows the couple through their brutal kidnapping and escape from one of Suki's ex-lovers and her best friend. Sunshine and Patricia misuse powerful drugs against the couple to force Suki's marriage to Sunshine in order to steal her wealth through the court system. The modernized court system, with electronic marriage and divorce systems, aids them in their ploy. John saves the day, but there is another problem. Suki's knowledge of biometric identification systems could be exploited for financial gain by their attackers. John's son, Tag, and Suki's best friend, Samantha, meet and hit it off immediately.
Suki III: Never Let Us End reveals John, his history and background when it comes back to threaten the couple. His ex-girlfriend Nancy discovers his new relationship with Suki and decides she wants John back. She is the secretary to the couple's therapist and has access to certain chemicals that are still controlled. In an elaborate plot to sever John and Suki's relationship, Nancy takes control of Suki and uses Suki's hypnosis skill to take control of John. Suki's expert marksmanship skill saves John's life and her experience with recreational drugs is key to his recovery.

Suki IV: Finally A Vacation (War With Iran) begins quietly enough with the couple taking a long vacation, at the insistence of their therapist and Suki's mother, Jung. Suki has a few surprises in store for him. The pilots of their charter flight were friends of John's late father, Josef, and their lunch companions are allied generals, both friends of John since they were all young Lieutenants. Suki gets to hear more about John's antics from when he was her age. As they make their way to the safety of Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, John notices the military activity is not normal. Something big is going on and his son has just arrived in Tel Aviv. The world has not been at war since Suki was a child and John was fighting the battles. John selected Eglin for its superior safety and excellent trap and skeet ranges. It is also the 2030s headquarters of a Joint Logistics Command that needs the assistance of people with John and Suki's backgrounds in Logistics and Biometrics to defeat the automated systems Iran uses.

Its not all war and SCIF romance. After the invasion begins, the couple is free to leave and travels to Maynardville, Tennessee for Suki to meet John's mother and Suki gets a last name, for the first time in her life.



After checking out Suki V: The Collection, give the new series, Suki With A Twist: Part One (An Alternate Future), a try. Paperback or Kindle.

Union Monkeys Protest at the Hilton

 
Location: closest intersections S. 23rd and S. Clark; S. 23rd and Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202
 
Look what you get behind the union label. A bunch of loud, disruptive monkeys disturbing a neighborhood. They are screaming directly across from a high-rise apartment building as they protest near the front door of the Hilton Crystal City near Reagan National Airport.
 
Who else are they disturbing besides innocent hotel guests and the hard working staff? The patrons of a Chili's restaurant, a sushi bar, a liquor store and the apartment residents across S. Clark Street from them.

The Hilton pictured is also a location in a work-in-progress in the Suki series.

IT IS A BABY DAMN YOU!

One of the many reasons why John and I are best friends ever.

I am fed up with the baby killers telling me "it is just a clump of cells." Guess what? That "clump" are HUMAN cells and they are not the DNA of just the mother. It isn't like slicing off your finger.  The cells are not going to grow to be an extra liver, they are going to grow to be your child.  Rape and incest are bad but they are no reason to murder a PERSON.

Abortion is murder.

Key Gog Technology a Reality

Electronic auto-focus glasses
A layer of liquid crystal sandwiched inside each lens alters its refractive properties according to the current applied, adapting the focal length according to where the wearer is looking.
In the 2030's future that I imagine in the first Suki series, this was one of the unstated features of the glasses people wear.  I addressed the LCD virtual 3D displays and virtual keyboards in the glasses.
 
Sarah and Suki took the concept into contact lenses and I ran with that for the new series, Suki With A Twist.
