In early July 1947, the base Information Officer at the Army Air Force Base in Roswell, New Mexico, reported the recovery of the wreckage of a flying disk that crashed in the desert. Many newspapers across the US reported this sensational story. A few days later, a second press release stated that the debris was from a weather balloon. Everyone laughed at the Army Air Force. The Military cleaned up the wreckage, swore everyone to secrecy, and the story died.

Then in the 1970s, UFO investigators uncovered the Roswell story. If the newspaper stories were true, it would prove the theory that intelligent aliens were visiting earth and the US Military recovered alien technology. Bowing to pressure in the 1990s, the Air Force said the weather balloon was actually debris from a top-secret project. So, was the debris from a balloon as the Military asserted or did a real alien spacecraft crash in 1947? Was there a cover-up? Is the cover-up still going on?

The Roswell Sanction is the fictional story based on the 1947 incident. Perhaps the Roswell Incident was a carefully orchestrated disinformation or a false flag operation. The accidental discovery of this operation by a Soviet spy and an unlucky photographer triggers the intervention by agents of the mysterious Internal Security Agency (ISA).

The photographer has pictures of a provocative news story. Does he publish the pictures and story or does he run for his life? The Soviet agent is looking for him and his photographs, too. For him, it is the intelligence coup of his career. Can he find the photographer and the photographs before the ISA agents? The ISA sends a team of skilled agents to New Mexico to investigate. They are looking for the Soviet spy known only as R-38 and the unlucky photographer. Their mission is to recover all evidence and silence anyone with knowledge of the operation. They receive a sanction to use whatever is necessary to accomplish their mission.

Do they succeed? Who lives and who dies?

Finding the Farm: The Search for the Klein’s First Roots in Pennsylvania is about the hunt for the location of the original homestead of Bernard and Sebastian Klein. Almost 300 years ago, the Klein Brothers claimed a 238-acre farm along the colonial frontier in Philadelphia County (now Berks County). Family Historians believe that their farm was the gathering point for the family of Moritz Klein from Postdorff, Alsace, after they immigrated during the decade from 1739 to 1749. In search of new land grants, three of the Klein brothers resettled in central North Carolina in the 1760s, leaving Bernard Klein and his descendants behind to work the farm.

The exact location of the farm was lost to history. Author Philip Cline uses the methods of a cold case detective to search for the location of the farm. Finding The Farm begins with the settlement of the colony of Pennsylvania and tracks the ownership of the land from the Colonial Era to the current owner of the largest intact portion of the farm using many of the original warrants, surveys, and deeds. Many new surprising details about the Klein’s ownership of the farm were discovered in the course of the research. The book ends with a road trip to the farm from Reading, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Berks County.
