The Great James Masters Series
This book is set in 1923 and uses authentic terms from that era which some modern readers may consider offensive.
The first two books in the James Masters series are The New Yorkers and Hollywood.
No Taboo, by Richard Bonte, is the fifth and final book in The James Masters Series—a fictional back story inspired by “Gatsby” in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby—by Richard Bonte and Hamilton Harcourt Fleming III. (Jayne Louise Cramforde contributed to the first book, The New Yorkers, and Honey “Buns” Smith contributed to this one). Thanks also to the Sarasota Fiction Writers Group for their wonderful suggestions and edits to all drafts throughout the series.
Following the publication of No Taboo, all five books will soon appear in one anthology as The Great James Masters Series.

‘The Family’ Series
A series of five books about three prominent families in England, Austria, and America from the 1890s until the mid-1940s.
Book 1 ‘The Sisters’ in the series ‘The Family.’ In nineteenth-century Europe, a wealthy Austrian banker, Heinrich Konsul, and his ambitious wife try to arrange marriages for their three teenage daughters to ‘suitable partners’ in Paris, London, and New York.
The Second Promised Land (2 books)
‘The Moses Story’ is a short biblical pathfinder to the longer political thriller, ‘The Baja Redemption.’
When the two Ten Commandments Tablets suddenly show up in the Baja California desert, many questions arise. Didn’t they disappear in the Desert of Zion during the time of Moses? Very relevant today, ‘The Baja Redemption’ features top political science professor Julius Mentor and his French-Canadian graduate student Suzanne Lafarge involved in a life and death struggle to deliver these tablets to female president Wysteria Buck before Iran wages nuclear war on the West.
Powerful forces within the three countries also want the Tablet.
They don’t want a new Promised Land.
They don’t even want Israel’s relocation.
They want its destruction.
The President of the United States and her secret protectors covertly align with the Academics against the “War” hawks.
Within a tight time frame, there is a deadly cross-country race to deliver the Tablet to the President.
If the Academics succeed, they will have avoided nuclear war. If they don’t …
“This is a tale you have never heard before, but it is true, at least true as far as I know. I have been dead for over 3000 years.”
Thus begins the Tale of the Ten Commandments when a nine-year-old boy in a New York Public Library discovers an old book detailing a new discovery: that of the Ten Commandments Tablet in the Baja California desert.
Rumors are flying that the Tablets have recently been excavated in the pristine Baja, California peninsula. With threats of impending nuclear war in Israel—allegedly the First Promised Land—perhaps the Second Promised Land of Baja looks to be a better bet.
THE MOSES STORY: THE SECOND PROMISED LAND is the Biblical Pathfinder & backstory to the recently published, very successful BAJA REDEMPTION, also available on Amazon in both Kindle & paperback.
Short Stories on Amazon
Man’s search for meaning involves strong values, as well as guilt, religion, and the absurd. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
“Little China Girl” combines the prologue and first chapter of “The Wuhan Tentacles”* (“Sleepless in Wuhan”) by Allen&Bonte wherein David Cheng meets Xi Di Wan, the girl of his dreams. It is June of 2018, and David Cheng is a brilliant twenty-two-year-old epidemiologist who has just graduated from Stanford University. He is an expert on viruses. A secret lab in Wuhan, China hires him to find a vaccine. It is fighting a corona virus.
David is shocked to find out this is a big lie. He discovers the horrific real aims of this Chinese Lab.
Two secret service ladies on opposing sides are sent to sway young David on his journey towards the truth.
What is the horrific secret?
This fictional account is set against the real life Covid-19 pandemic. (*To read the whole book, see “The Wuhan Tentacles” above.)
“Smarter Than You” is a ten-minute, five-character play about two nasty elite couples who are so convinced of the “rightness” of their leftist politics that they conduct monthly dinner parties to make fun of a conservative person whom they choose at random and consider to be intellectually inferior. It takes elements from the French play and movie of the same name, “Le Dîner des Cons” or “The Dinner Party [of the idiots]” where certain elite couples invite an intellectually challenged person to dinner so they can make fun of him or her. In this play, however, (as in the French version) the “Conservative Dope” is not as dopey as these elites think and in this play specifically, there are some signs that one member of the two couples is becoming tired of their monthly “put-down” game.
John and Mary, a power couple in their late twenties, get along great. They both work from home remotely because, they reason, why go to the outside and deal with other people and their diseases, feelings, and communicative hang-ups? John works for Homeland Security, and Mary is a graphic artist. Having a lot of work to do (and a lot of hobbies to accomplish), they decide to add Maxina, an AI system/beautiful robot combination that promises to vastly simplify their busy lives. However, Maxina, with her beauty, 180 IQ, and other attractive cyber qualities, has other ideas.
