Can the very few who see it coming prevent it? Joined in the fray are neighboring nations who want whatever they can get as they take advantage of the disadvantaged situation and infighting of the U.S. The state of world power is disrupted and global chaos erupts.

SEARCHING FOR JIMMY BUFFETT (Hardback Edition)
GENRE: Fiction/Adventure/Humor/Satire
A humorous adventure full of social satire.
BOOK SCENARIO -Sister Moonbeam-Goom-jigi, a hallucinatory, burned out, hippy flower child of the 60’s, wrongfully thinks her late in life son is the by-product of an imagined one night stand with Jimmy Buffett. Years later on her deathbed her final words inadvertently send her son, 14 year old James "Bean" Buffett Jr., on a quest to find his namesake famous father. And so the naive home schooled socially lacking young Bean and his scraggly little one eared telepathic dog Fruitcake, embark on an incredible adventure in his mother’s car the Celestial Rocket, an oddly painted 1955 Nash Metropolitan convertible. From old St. Augustine, Florida, they head south to all points weird, leaving behind an estranged despicable uncle conspiring to steal a fortune the young boy doesn’t even know he has.
During their travels Bean and Fruitcake collect three colorful companions in the person of; Chi Chi, a resourceful fast thinking wannabe movie star illegal alien Cuban girl who is pursued by agents of Fidel Castro, and Roachie, a homeless vagrant genius who thinks he’s stupid because he lost a billion dollar high tech enterprise, and the ever strange Boner Jones, a mysterious multi-talented impersonator and paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theorist with an ancient secret.
Their quest and travels take them to a number of places where Bean and company encounter and have to deal with bizarre characters and situations that include; dangerous surf Nazis, killer Haitian drug runners, members of a Cuban underground, a Parrot Head extremist cult, incompetent Mexican pirates, mysterious Bayou gypsies, extreme California crackpots, and more; all the while being pursued by a hit man Catholic priest.
Searching for Jimmy Buffett is a hilarious politically incorrect book full of non-stop humor that increases your interest with each page. One book you surely don't want to pass up.

THE LAST GHOSTRIDER (Hardback Edition)
GENRE: Fiction/Military/War (adault reading)
A hilarious yet tragic book of the Vietnam War.
SCENARIO: THE LAST GHOSTRIDER follows the haphazard life and times of Army enlisted man Vincent Fusco during the years 1968 to '71 as he somehow manages to wade through the often incoherent reasoning and random events of military life and war. Fusco's journey takes you from his ridiculous stateside antics to the strange reality and unforgettable heroic characters of the chopper war in the central highlands of Vietnam and Cambodia. An American G.I.'s saga that is of interest not only because of its revealing story but in the frank, humorous, and candid style in which it's told. A style that readers have already placed on par with MASH and CATCH-22. A novel of "faction" inspired by the experiences, events, and real characters known to the author during his service with the famous 189th Assault Helicopter Co. Ghostriders that can only be described as insightful, revealing, and surprising, not to mention politically incorrect. A must read book. (Recomended for adults only)

A MONKEY TALE, The Feature Film Script

SCENARIO, Fiction/Drama/Humor/Action Adventure:
In 1933, following the release of the movie KING KONG, a disgruntled old sailor and sole survivor of an encounter with the real great ape imparted his secret regarding the true facts of the storied beast and it's mysterious island to two young men. Armed with the old sailor's map, an arsenal of weapons, a desire to prove themselves, and a fully crewed three-masted barkentine, fifteen members of the Princeton University Rugby Club eagerly embark on a search for adventure and riches, collecting along the way a Chinese Rhodes Scholar, an Australian girl Rambo, a jungle boy prone to profanity, and a tribe of alcoholic natives, not to mention a 30 foot gorilla with an identity problem. Their journey results in discoveries far exceeding anything they would have expected, with an outcome no one could possibly have imagined. This screenplay and the companion book are a must read for classic adventure and KONG fans everywhere.

NOTE: This is the film script companion to the novel, MONKEY, also written by author Frank Mosco. The script "A Monkey Tale" is the brainchild of Frank and Danny Mosco, long time fans and enthusiasts of the original movie King Kong, and intended to be an entertaining sequel placed in the same 1933 time period as the original movie but with a contemporary and humorous approach. The screenplay was written with a desire to rekindle but not to remake the original movie. It should be noted, it was written well before the now famous Peter Jackson production; a point the authors want clearly stated due to the many similarities between the two. Needless to say, due to the Jackson remake, A Monkey Tale would not be produced, however, it did lend itself to what many have enjoyed reading as a novel and resulted in being the first of an all new adventure book series.
