The Lion’s Den: Chronicles of a Las Vegas Money Launderer
A novel by: T.J. Breeden

ISBN-10: 1440457328

Jan. 8, 2009

The Lion’s Den is the story of Alex Pryce, an urban Ivy Leaguer who is both the product of Chicago’s financial district and the inner city borough; who forwent professional designations & Wall Street Hedge Funds, for an underground cash pool & the Las Vegas strip.  This story searches into the mindset of a hustler with youthful ambitions, Harvard credentials, limitless credibility, numerous professional designations… who instead of taking Wall Street by storm, elects to head the most dangerous money laundering syndicate ever assembled.

This novel is the first of a volume series that the author  plans to release (the follow-up is scheduled for Spring 2009).  The main character is an African American male who escapes the gutters of the inner city to an Ivy League education and career placement on the Chicago Stock Exchange.  He eventually grows sick of corporate pandering that continues to hinder his professional advancement and decides to leave the big uptown firm for a smaller brokerage wire-house with better pay, less oversight, manageable restrictions… and thus finds himself engulfed in a proposed money laundering scheme.  Consideration to wash bills further propels him into an illegal industry of numbers manipulation in the one and only US city where market tampering & odds making are a normal economic practice… LAS VEGAS!  (Continued)

Love 3:16

A manuscript by: T.J. Breeden

ISBN-10:

Jan. 8, 2009

“Love 3:16 was written in the backdrop of a simple idealism: “The love we demonstrate for ourselves and for each other should mirror the affection that the eternal guardian & provider of the universe offers unto us.”  My goal is that this manuscript will serve as a sort of conversation piece, one that will not only spark a substantive dialogue about ‘love,’ but force us to analyze how we choose to exercise it.”

“This manuscript examines how one contemporary translation of 2,000 year old text can be proven relevant in the most inter-personal of circumstances… loving others.  God offers an affection that is merciful, faithful, unfailing… Imagine a place within our own personal associations that promotes a passionate devotion that gives more than it expects to receive in return.  I invite you to imagine a love that inspires sacrifice beyond that of our own understanding… giving more of ourselves, and passing the lesson on for others to adopt… Imagine relationships drawn upon these same principles.  Caring for our neighbors, friends, loved ones, and spouses the way that God cares for us… Spiritually, there exists several dynamics to be examined… this is mine.” (Continued)
