I started writing this novel on the 4th of November 2009. It started as a film script, but soon evolved into a novel. The Storyline Somewhere in Africa, a gang of thieves, known as the deadly trio decide to recruit a new member in order to strengthen their gang. They recruit a mysterious man called The Razor. Robert Owatu, Peter Zendi and Anthony Okinye are three ordinary citizens struggling to make ends meet. All three men suddenly have a financial break-through, and all become suspects. Each is accused of being The Razor after the gang is renamed the Awesome Foursome. The three citizens desperately attempt to prove to the police and their loved ones that they are not The Razor.

Black barbers, reflected a freed slave who barbered in antebellum St. Louis, may have been the only men in their community who enjoyed, at all times, the privilege of free speech. The reason lay in their temporary—but absolute—power over a client. With a flick of the wrist, they could have slit the throats of the white men they shaved. In Knights of the Razor, Douglas Walter Bristol, Jr., explores this extraordinary relationship in the largely untold story of African American barbers, North and South, from the American Revolution to the First World War. In addition to establishing the modern-day barbershop, these barbers used their skilled trade to navigate the many pitfalls that racism created for ambitious black men. Successful barbers assumed leadership roles in their localities, helping to form a black middle class despite pervasive racial segregation. They advocated economic independence from whites and founded insurance companies that became some of the largest black-owned corporations.

The long strands of razor wire conceal from society what it is like on the inside. There is another world filled with violence, fear, hopelessness, and despair, which is seldom shared with the outside world. In this anthology, thirty-five inmates share their hearts and minds in poetry and prose. Some are vengeful; some are angry, and others are resentful. But each person expresses themselves freely from their point of view. David Berkowitz, the notorious murderer known as Son of Sam, shares his testimony of how God touched his life one evening in a cold and lonely prison cell. Today, David Berkowitz is known as the Son of Hope. Many inmates, who will never see the light of day again, share their poems and prose in this collection, Beyond The Razor Wire.

Believing her career is a calling from on high, she walks among some of the worst of the worst every day.

Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of this spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brillant characters - his fiancee Isabel, whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliot Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob. The most ambitious of Maugham's novels, this is also one in which Maugham himself plays a considerable part as he wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.
