Encoded: A Richard Braddock Mystery

Encoded: A fast-moving, high-tech thriller you’ll never forget.

Not even his wife knows that Paul Elliot, ex-military officer and now the President of the United States, fathered an illegitimate child during the Vietnam War.

As a personal favor (and totally off the record), the President asks aging PI Richard Braddock to come out of retirement and find his daughter. No one, not even Paul Elliot, is prepared for what Braddock uncovers: A high-tech plan, ten years in the making, that will bring the United States to its knees without a single shot being fired.

Dickie: Memoirs of a Mad Scientist

978-1-62857-574-3-RNedbalCoverAbout the Books

Fun Memoir of a Whiz Kid
Turns Science on Its Ear

Dickie was a genius. Too bad nobody appreciated his scientific smarts. Everyone just thought he was annoying. Of course, he did almost burn down his school with a science fair project.

He also turned on the neighbors’ lights with high-powered radio gear. Once he built a one-armed robot that drank too much. He stuffed monkeys into small race cars, violated top-secret security procedures, and performed so many other antics that he truly earned his moniker “mad scientist.”

This goofy and humorous autobiography tells what it was like for a nerdy kid growing up in the ‘50s and ‘60s in suburban Chicago. So come along and join Dickie as he adopted the phrase that still gets him into trouble: “After all, how hard can it be?” Watch out, world!
