For Thomas, life just isn't as simple as it used to be. His parents have 'suggested' that he get married soon. He would prefer to join a priesthood somewhere and focus on developing spirituality. With his birthday fast approaching, and accepting that it's time to come to terms with his repressed feelings, he embarks on a personal pilgrimage to Japan. A change of scenery is good for clearing the mind, but Thomas is trying to make sense of his heart. There's someone he has to see again if he truly wants to discover what's missing in his life, especially when it comes to love.

* FACT: Our chromosomes contain billions of so-called "junk DNA" sequences. Some of them are the intact genetic blueprints of ancient gene-altering pathogens. * FACT: Bioweapons designers are developing deadly, genetically engineered, killer life-forms that are triggered by race-and ethnic-related genes. * FACT: DNA analysis shows that the human race has come extremely close to extinction in the past. One cause of this could have been a "slatewiper"-a lethal pestilence that nearly wiped the human slate clean. * FACT: By the end of World War II, Japan's biowarfare arsenal was the most advanced in the world thanks to its inhumane medical experiments that equaled those of the Third Reich. The time has come for . . . Slatewiper. Lara Blackwood, genetic engineering entrepreneur and presidential advisor, receives a call from an old college friend who asks her help in solving a ghastly epidemic in Tokyo. She agrees to help and, with a single phone call, sets in motion a chain of death and mayhem stretching from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., Amsterdam, and Japan. To her horror, she discovers her life's work has been perverted to produce a revolutionary new genetic weapon that kills by turning people's own chromosomes against them. Now Lara must risk assassination to expose the conspiracy behind "Slatewiper"-before a nightmarish terrorist scheme threatens the entire human race with extinction!

Just Laugh is a collection of poems and prose that were inspired by loneliness, acceptance, love, and faith. Often, when we find ourselves feeling alienated by the world, solace can be found in sharing our experiences with others, and Just Laugh is my tribute to those who seek to know themselves better throughout the journey of life.
