Defiance
By Terence M. O'Keefe
DEFIANCE (Sex, Drugs & Guns in the 1980’s) is an action, revenge, thriller set in Los Angeles in the 1980’s. Solomon was Jack’s drug dealing, mentor, back in Miami. Solomon took Jack off the street when he was just a teenager and introduced him to the glamorous and dangerous world of drug dealing.
Years have past, Jack now lives in Los Angeles with his airline stewardess, girlfriend, Angie. He is building a new life for himself with Angie. That is – until a so called “chance encounter” in a park with his old friend and mentor, Solomon, who is now a successful arms dealer. Solomon is there for a meeting with one of his associates, Dexter. Solomon asks Jack to join him as a partner in his new enterprise, which is now pushing west into Los Angeles. Jack turns him down, but not before two dark figures take pictures of him, mistaking him for Dexter. It seems that Solomon running into Jack at the park is not a coincident, because the meeting with Dexter is about recruiting Jack in hopes of using his stewardess girlfriend for smuggling purposes.
Meuller, Solomon’s archrival, has sent his thugs to the park to kill Dexter and Solomon. Jack successfully fends off the assailants, killing one of them in the process. Meuller is displeased with this, but seizes the opportunity to get to Solomon and Dexter through Jack, who is now a marked man: numerous attempts are made on his life, his sister is assaulted, and his girlfriend is kidnapped. Jack and Solomon set out to rescue Angie.
These events have taken a toll on Jack, both mentally and physically. Unlike Solomon, Jack does not know the real reason why he is a marked man. He thinks it is for killing the gang member during the altercation in the park. It is questionable as to whether Solomon is a true friend or is he just leaving Jack twisting in the wind.

The Alien Initiative
By Terence M. O'Keefe
Deacon James has returned to earth after being abducted by aliens fifteen years earlier. He’s here to save his son from the aliens who are hot on his tracks.
In the summer of 1994, young Deacon James was involved in what should have been a fatal mini-bike accident in the middle of the Nevada desert. As he took his last breath, and began to lose consciousness, he barely saw the intense beam of red light that appeared from the heavens above and completely washed over his body. When his eyes finally fluttered open, he found himself on the ground, in the desert, completely healed of what were certainly, fatal wounds. Deacon called it a gift from God and rarely spoke of it again.
Fifteen years later when his only son, Ian, was involved in a catastrophic carnival accident, Deacon was forced to relive that horrible moment again. As he scooped up his boy and ran through the desert at near super-human speed, he knew deep down it was a futile effort to make it to the hospital on time. Continuing to speed through the vast desert, the mysterious red light that saved him all those years ago, reappeared and as its healing powers washed over Ian, this time there was a price to pay. When the light retracted, it took Deacon James with it.
Things were different for Ian from there on out. As an adult he became an Osteopath, as it became evident that he had the gift of healing in his touch. On a rare visit from his now reclusive mother, Barbara, they were surprised by an intruder who kidnapped them, mumbling about getting them out of there for their own safety. Ian and Barbara manage to ambush their captor and discover the hooded man is Deacon James…fifteen years after his disappearance, yet somehow, still only 32 years of age.
