While I was out yesterday and my mother in law was at my house watching my youngest basset, it seems my sweet chickies were causing a ruckus.  Clucking and squawking and hooting and hollering. My mother in law had never heard them acting so crazy. I must confess they do like to party, they are a wild bunch. She went out to see what all the commotion was about and when she arrived at the coop they all went silent and gave her the stink eye. Who the heck are you? Talk about trying to make my mother in law feel uncomfortable. Rude little chickies. I raised you better than that.

Well, Norm Schriever did just that.

Frustrated and unfulfilled with his comfortable existence in the States, successful businessman Norm Schriever knows there is something more he is supposed to do with his life.

But Norm soon finds that paradise has its dark side, and the perfect life in a little seaside town isn’t always as easy as it seems.

Will Norm achieve his dream, and gain a new appreciation for life, love, and happiness in one of the most beautiful places on earth?

Tiara (10th Anniversary Edition)
John Reinhard Dizon
4.9 Stars (13 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | Historical Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Tiara is one of the most original novels on Northern Ireland written in quite some time. Based on the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, it borrows from the Princess Diana tragedy in a what-if scenario, then takes a dark turn into the shadowy world of terrorism that brings us right alongside modern day headlines. Its politics, its characters and its storyline are controversial and intriguing, turning this into a first-rate page-turner.

Princess Jennifer is a widowed member of British royalty who pursues a vision quest in attending the negotiations at Stormont leading to the GFA in NI of 1998. She becomes a fantasy object to Berlin Mansfield, a terrorist who finagles his way into the peace talks to meet the Princess. Unknown to both of them, she is also the target of the Ulster Defense Association, a loyalist gang intent on holding her hostage to stop the negotiations. She is kidnapped by the UDA, and Mansfield offers his services to the rival IRA to try and rescue the Princess. CIA agents Jon Stevens and Slash Scimitar are in NI on a mission and end up helping the British track down both Mansfield and the kidnappers. Eventually the ‘black knight’ rescues the Princess, and we end up on a different track on this rollercoaster that eventually hurtles us home safely into the Good Friday Agreement.
