His action-adventure book recently received positive reviews from two major book review publications including the US Review of Books and the Hollywood Book Reviews. Polyxena tells the adventure of its eponymous heroine who, facing death after rejecting the advances of her captor after the fall of Troy, is sent to Amazon for assistance. Polyxena, daughter of King Priam, relates her thoughts to Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess she holds responsible for having orchestrated her fate, to find solace and overcome her fear of death. The book is available both in e-book and paperback versions from ARPress‘ bookstore and Amazon.com.
