BOOK SCENARIO: In America’s near future the differences between political parties, the greed of international money interest, and the misled anger of millions of minority citizens, all come to a head due to a series of manipulation, lies, and assassinations, leading to our country’s second civil war. 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 will be disrupted and global chaos will erupt. Can the very few who see it coming prevent it? Can we survive? Author Frank Mosco creates a novel inspired by and drawn from the current events, emotions, and state of our union throughout our society. A must read.

GENRE: Fiction/Drama/Humor/Adventure
In 1958 a native man named Hooky discovered a secret which made his tiny unknown island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the most valuable real-estate in the world. Sixty years later who actually owns it is in question, but who wants to claim it becomes an international free-for-all, and who will actually get it in the end is unpredictable. In this hilariously funny story, a major corporation and elements of a hand full of countries discover that the only thing more difficult than taking the island and its wealth away from a small tribe of over-sexed naked natives is... pronouncing its very name.
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.
GENRE: Fiction/Military/War (adult 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. (Recommended for adults only)
