On 21 December 2011 the world became a more dangerous place. My co-author, Dr. Frank Malinoski has this to say: On that date we learned that a science article was to be censored (see NYTimes article here). Historic and unprecedented, yes. And Tony Fauci, head of the US NIH is quoted as saying that some […]
Judith and her Crescent Veil co-author Dr. Frank Malinoski spent a wonderful evening recently with the members of Wilmington’s Ebony Book Club. What wonderful and insightful discussions around Crescent Veil, my motivation for writing, and the history of biological weapons. The fellowship, friendship, and dinner were awesome. I can’t wait to share the sequel with this […]
It was the night before the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the anniversary of not only the horrible attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the plane crash in rural Pennsylvania, but also the anniversary of the date on the note inside the ANTHRAX LETTERS. So what better thing to do than go […]
A friend reminded me the other day that we have a novel generation gap emerging related to “war as a part of life” here in America. Clearly, every generation has been exposed to war and the causes that motivated men (and now women) to become soldiers as a way to define and defend America. Since […]

This book looks to be a must read to get a glimpse of the British perspective on 9/11, the war in Iraq, al Qaeda, and WMDs. I say that because of Blair’s interview with CNN’s Wolfe Blitzer a few days back. In the interview Blair staunchly defended the decision to enter Iraq for two reasons: […]
The weight of our soul? Now that is an interesting question and the most mind flexing idea in Dan Brown’s, The Lost Symbol. I found myself holding my breath until the elaborate precise scale described, had locked in the final weight of a dead body after the soul had left it. An intriguing thought. I […]
In a NY Times article about Karl Rove’s new book “Courage and Consequences: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight” reporter Peter Baker notes that, according to Rove, former President Bush would not have gone to war in Iraq had there not been weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) there. WOW! Of course Baker then […]
