Release Date: October 19, 2023

The shocking death of the popular Prince of Wales launches his young heir from innocent childhood into a roiling caldron of political jealousy and intrigue. Set in all the glory of mid-eighteenth century England, the child prince is urgently prepared for his estranged grandfather’s throne. Under the wing of his godly tutor-advisor, the youth staggers through an escalating minefield of hazards.
Juxtaposed with the prince’s story, is the life of a down-and-out firebrand statesman considering retirement from public service, including the House of Commons because he’s under the king’s fervent disfavor. As rumors of coup d’etat swirl around the prince, an alliance between the youth and the flagging Member of Parliament (MP) secures hope of a safe ascension. The alliance also catapults the prince’s gentle advisor and the seasoned statesman MP into the two most powerful men in Great Britain. One controls the next king. The other controls Parliament. Then, in the face of escalating war, a shocking twist changes everything.
Collision Course shatters clichés as it treks through England’s finest gardens and dines with kings and statesmen, all the while peering into the universal nature of the human soul and the heartbeat of corrupted constitutional government. This is the true, untold story of alliance, ambition, betrayal, loss, and recovery that set the world stage for the American Revolution.

Book Excerpt

He heard the thunderous standing ovation when he was sighted at the opera. He’d become a venerated voice in the House of Lords and a renowned patron of the arts. Musicians, painters, woodcarvers, and silversmiths loved him. He trembled, panting for breath. The room was slowly spinning.

For a fortnight, he’d been fighting a cold, recently turned pleurisy. But usually he felt so strong, so virile. He coughed and thrashed for another excruciating moment and then felt the chilled breath of his caller. Shuddered. When was it he’d just been hunting with his boys? They’d dined on the succulent venison in plum sauce. Was it last week? Raw fear flooded his being. He gasped, pleading with God. Was he drowning? He couldn’t leave Augusta and his eight—almost nine—children. Burning tears bit his cheeks as their faces laughed and tumbled around him. No! His heir was but a child ill-prepared to mount the throne! Power-hungry politicians would overwhelm his youth and inexperience! An apparition in full military uniform with dazzling ribbons and medals. His younger brother. A battlefield hero, he was always the king’s favorite son. Always his father’s choice for heir. No. He couldn’t leave now! His son would replace him as the object of the king’s resentment.
