Hailed as "toweringly important" (Baltimore Sun), "a work of scrupulous and significant reportage" (E. L. Doctorow), and "an unforgettable historical drama" (Chicago Sun-Times), Big Trouble brings to life the astonishing case that ultimately engaged President Theodore Roosevelt, Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the politics and passions of an entire nation at century's turn. After Idaho's former governor is blown up by a bomb at his garden gate at Christmastime 1905, America's most celebrated detective, Pinkerton James McParland, takes over the investigation. His daringly executed plan to kidnap the radical union leader "Big Bill" Haywood from Colorado to stand trial in Idaho sets the stage for a memorable courtroom confrontation between the flamboyant prosecutor, progressive senator William Borah, and the young defender of the dispossessed, Clarence Darrow. Big Trouble captures the tumultuous first decade of the twentieth century, when capital and labor, particularly in the raw, acquisitive West, were pitted against each other in something close to class war. Lukas paints a vivid portrait of a time and place in which actress Ethel Barrymore, baseball phenom Walter Johnson, and editor William Allen White jostled with railroad magnate E. H. Harriman, socialist Eugene V. Debs, gunslinger Charlie Siringo, and Operative 21, the intrepid Pinkerton agent who infiltrated Darrow's defense team. This is a grand narrative of the United States as it charged, full of hope and trepidation, into the twentieth century.

Set in the heart of the exotic Ottoman Empire during the first years of its chaotic decline, Michael David Lukas’ elegantly crafted, utterly enchanting debut novel follows a gifted young girl who dares to charm a sultan—and change the course of history, for the empire and the world. An enthralling literary adventure, perfect for readers entranced by the mixture of historical fiction and magical realism in Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass, Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red, or Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, Lukas’ evocative tale of prophesy, intrigue, and courage unfolds with the subtlety of a Turkish mosaic and the powerful majesty of an epic for the ages.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, and the American Book Award, the bestselling Common Ground is much more than the story of the busing crisis in Boston as told through the experiences of three families. As Studs Terkel remarked, it's "gripping, indelible...a truth about all large American cities." "An epic of American city life...a story of such hypnotic specificity that we re-experience all the shades of hope and anger, pity and fear that living anywhere in late 20th-century America has inevitably provoked." —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

This is A Biker Secret Baby Romance Lukas has always been the quiet kid in school, but he’s never resented himself for it. Girls were complicated and overwhelming, so he just never dated. Parties took away from other, more useful things he could be doing with his time- like striving to become a lawyer. His parents didn’t understand, and his sister- his only true friend- had passed away to leave behind a niece that Lukas adopted. Working his own law office and juggling a 15-year-old is much harder than anyone could’ve led on. Lukas’ solace in his motorcycle is about to bring him in direct contact with one woman who might compliment him perfectly. Ashley is a woman with scars- physically and mentally. Having finally worked up the courage to get a moped and work her way up to a motorcycle, she finds herself at a shop at the very right moment. Her intense fear of cars and general ‘stay-in-your-lane’ attitude brings out Lukas inner tenderness, and they immediately feel an unfamiliar attraction to each other. A lingering problem threatens Lukas and Ashley’s budding romance, and things outside their happy scene begin to work in motion to tear them apart at the seams. But will it end up bringing these two passive people even closer together? 20,000 words (Standalone) with beautiful HEA (with no cheating) and NO Cliffhangers!

Lukas Maiden Voyage was written as a fable in which animals speak and act like people. The target audience ranges from nine years old to teenagers, even to moms and dads who may take delight in reading this story to their young children. The story revolves around the Passover celebration and Christs triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as seen through the eyes of the young burro that carried him. Intended for all Christians who grew up hearing about the life of Christs ministry, this story centers around a small, crippled colt that has been bullied his entire life by two Arabian stallions, who find ways to taunt the burro and make his life miserable. The name of the colt is Lukas, and the antagonistic twin brothers are Nimb and Obus. The colts greatest wish is to have someone come to Jethros stables and choose him for a ride. Since the little donkey was born with a weak back and a crippled leg, no one ever has. The young burros life changes dramatically when Lukas unknowingly meets Christ and is chosen by the Messiah to be ridden on the most important journey the world will ever know. Since hes never been ridden, this becomes Lukass maiden voyage.

“Why were you repeating the word small?” I prodded. He hesitated before starting to write. It’s something I tell myself. It helps when people are around. “Helps with what?” If I think small, if I’m small, they aren’t as… He took a few seconds to think about the word he wanted. Intimidated? He underlined the word twice and shrugged one of those massive shoulders. He inhaled deeply and his shoulders slumped. “Lukas.” Those deep brown eyes met mine. I don’t want you to be scared of me. My heart broke for him as I read the note. “I’m not scared of you.” I should have been. After what I’d gone through with Dylan, I knew what uncontrolled anger turned into. I should have been terrified to be in this man’s presence. I was fairly certain that not much would survive if Lukas Banks ever lost control of the fire storm that was burning within him. He watched me, looking for any sign that I might be lying. I moved my hand from his arm and pressed it over his heart. “Lukas, you don’t have to be small for me.” Viv I’ve spent the past five years of my life with one thing on my mind: Franny. My daughter is my heart and soul. I’d never really had any interest in men since leaving her dad, but that changes the instant I see Lukas walk into my grocery store. The small mountain of a man who doesn’t talk has a storm brewing in his eyes, yet I’ve never felt safer than when I’m with him. But someone out there doesn’t want me to be happy and suddenly, my life is in chaos. Lukas My entire life, I’ve been different; I’ve scared people. Ever since I’ve lost my voice, it’s been even worse. When I walk into a grocery store and the gorgeous redhead at the till talks to me like I’m not a freak, I have to admit, I’m blown away. When she shows up with pie to check on me a week later, I have to tell myself not to be an idiot. Nice girls like her don’t fall for monsters like me. Of course, it doesn’t take long to fall for her and her daughter. They’re amazing. When someone starts to threaten them, I make Viv a promise. I’ll keep them safe. Because the waste of skin trying to ruin her life is wrong: those two little redheads aren’t his… they’re mine.
