Pebbles in the Fire
Pebbles in the Fire, Ted Fink’s furth mesmerizing novel, takes place in Nicaragua and is a story of hope.

Together they begin a courageous and perilous journey to reach Managua before the surgeons from Operation Smile leave the country.
The Incident at Parkside
​
In Ted Fink’s third novel, The Incident at Parkside, seventy-seven year-old Melvin Kappernick does something unexpected; instead of retiring to a gated-community in Florida, he moves back to the neighborhood of his youth in an attempt to recapture some of the mystery and magic he knew as a boy. But the area has completely changed, and Kappernick finds himself embroiled in a drama that turns violent. Poignant and gripping you won’t be able to put this book down.
Game of the Gods
An action-packed adventure novel about a journey into “maybe.” For maybe, just maybe, we are all mere pawns in a game being played by the gods. Harrison Shepard wants a quick and easy story. Instead, he gets the adventure of a lifetime. Maybe it’s the gods who make this down-on-his-luck investigative reporter follow a ridiculous, nagging clue to a blockbuster story. And maybe, just maybe, it’s these same gods who cause a sadistic mafia henchman to snap, kill an associate, kidnap and brutalize a young woman that fate puts in his way. And who else could make a seasoned sailor travel clear across the country to find a monstrosity of a ship—one certainly bound for hell—built by a man who believes not in faith but in the corner bar? Game of the Gods puts all these people together for one hell of a ride.
