Here are two stories from the Borsellini Estate.
In the story “Those Who Wait,” Adriana Barille’s lust for money and power leads Stefano Borsellini to the seacoast city, Bari. Stefano is coming to meet Adriana’s family and plan their wedding. It is clear, Adriana wants Stefano to return to his family’s business in Asti and make her the next Signora of the Castle Borsellini. During his visit to Bari, however, Stefano finds a new direction for his money, power and love.
Stefano’s sister, Christina, is the current queen of the castle. In her father’s absence through illness, powerful overtures threaten Christina’s hold on the castle estate and its vineyards. She needs her brother’s help but she is uncertain where his loyalties lie.
In the sequel, “Sweeter Than Wine,” Adriana is now seeking sweet and subtle revenge on the Borsellini’s. While Christina is taking the world by storm as the newly celebrated Cellar Master, Adriana is scheming to make Christina’s worst fears come true. In the midst of wine labels and designer labels, the man who is invading Christina’s borders at the vineyard is also invading her heart. Christina once again turns to Stefano for help.
There is a silver lining in every dark cloud and it seems the Borsellini’s just cannot lose – in love or wine.

Watch the formation of a global government through the eyes of the men who shape it into reality, and through the eyes of those reporting it.
The World News Team works behind the scenes to sabotage the World Council. How can a handful of reporters outsmart the political world?
How can that cute and trendy tattoo be the mark of the beast? Soldiers are angry that their high-ranking officers are accepting it as a mark of honor and passport to come and go in the Holy City.
The media has revealed Hasan Gharan, a rich and powerful businessman, as the spokesperson for the World Council. But who is the man who suddenly appears by his side declaring him as the ruler of the world who will truly fulfill where the counterfeit Jesus failed?
This book has an appeal for those not just interested in the end-times but interested in a really good read of how global thinking could solve the world’s problems and how an end-time scenario might look if one did believe.
Revelations – hard reality – no flowing robes and the only demons come in suits.
It is announced to the world that in order to seek global solutions to important world issues and resources, a World Council will be formed. Through a gathering of UN members, the nominations begin. Needless to say, taking away the UN members’ voices at large and handing it over to a small group of men is not without its protests.
After the formation of the World Council, major global events arise with the World Council now in charge. Solving these crises and installing a standardized communications system around the globe, the CSP-21000, takes center stage in the headlines. Behind the scenes there are shifting relationships, changing loyalties and truths that will never make it into the news.
Religious overtones bring out the crazies. Hasan Gharan, leader and spokesperson for the World Council, has been shot. He is diagnosed as a vegetable. Rushing on the scene out of nowhere is Gabriel Kahjaf to be at the Councilman’s side. Gabriel becomes the spokesperson for Hasan’s condition, announcing to the world that Hasan will not die; he will rise again, and lead the Council once more. In three days, says Gabriel, to show the world what the real savior looks like. One who will stay with them and guide them through the future. Not a phantom god, but a real god.
Amazing things happen in the wake of Hasan Gharan as he rises up from the bed and goes back to the UN Hilton Hotel, where the World Council has its headquarters. Reporters, Council members, everyone who has a personal relationship with Hasan Gharan must now deal with the emergence of the new man. Reporter Bari Carter, once engaged to Hasan Gharan, has already left World News’ coverage of Hasan in the hands of Michael Saelinger, while she went off to the Philippines to help in the recovery of an earthquake that took out three major cities and most industry. Michael jumped ship to work with another network soon after that. Jade Conley, reporting from Hasan’s bedroom before he was shot has been told the new Hasan is no longer a lover of women but the emerging anti-Christ.
Hasan goes about his business with a “Healing of the Earth” campaign. Jade lands the covering assignment after convincing her boss she can work with Hasan after their past relationship.
The last problem to be solved on Planet Earth is the never-ending debate over religion and what will happen to Jerusalem. Who emerges from our cast of characters to be the two witnesses in Jerusalem? How can that cute and trendy tattoo be the mark of the beast? Soldiers are angry that their high-ranking officers are accepting it as a mark of honor and passport to come and go in the Holy City. How can a handful of past and present World News’ reporters work behind the scenes to sabotage the World Council? Does Hasan Gharan truly fulfill where the declared counterfeit Jesus failed?
Fast-paced adventure, Revelations reads real – no flowing robes and the only demons come in suits. Written in 1993, needless to say, technology has advanced, making this story even more plausible. And as you read, you will ask yourself, wasn’t that just on the news?
I’m still working on uploading/pricing the eBooks to Amazon’s Kindle eBooks. I’ll be back here soon to post each book, its title, cover and description. I won’t be doing that today because I am having some technical issues with other sites going up. But SOON!
As I said before, I am really looking forward to getting this task completed so I can get back to work on new projects.
I will be linking at least one of my other sites to this page. They all have different and interesting content, so you will want to take a look.
Check out my Personal Favorites as well. You may find something you really like there!
And as always – remember –
live lightly, love truly and nourish your passion!

Welcome to viccibooks.com. While I am working on new writing projects, I am also putting some of the older titles up for sale on Amazon.com, Kindle eBooks.
As time permits I will lists those books here, tell you what they are about and you can take it from there if there is anything you’d like to read. I wrote these books by assignment, so I am excited and looking forward to changing subject matter and really working on something of my own choosing. Most of my work has been “Christian” and I never intended to write “Christian” material. Although it was never my intention, these stories can entertain as well as open your understanding to living and witnessing in the Christian environment.
I have one book “live” on Amazon and more will be coming. I am setting up my author’s page there as well. It’s a slow process; Amazon notifies me that things are done and then I cannot locate them, so eventually, I am sure the process will be complete. Amazon is so huge, can you imagine handling something that huge!!?? It takes a lot of teamwork I am sure; so the team working to help me, THANKS!
Thanks for stopping by. Say hello and leave a note where I can find and visit you. And remember – “live lightly, love truly and nourish your passion.”
