Guilt, murder, and Old Testament zeal seize three children during the turbulent days of World War II Detroit
This World War II suspense drama explores how Michael Tether, age 12, copes with the guilt of being too weak to save his twin from murder by one of his parents. What's worse—he sees him-self as not just a witness, but as an instrument of the murderer. He remains deeply traumatized by that death and the loss of his sister long into adult-hood. Those losses shape Michael's life as he searches for redemption and for-giveness.
Michael’s mother designated him to be the “general in her struggle against Satan.” He failed her, but her favoritism of Michael isolates him from his brother and si | |  | | Lamb of God

WINNER of the 2002 Independent E-Book Award for Humor
MY LIFE AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN is a light-hearted account of growing up during the 50s in Detroit.
Benedict S. Snippet is a boy from a middle-class family who does mostly ordinary things. It's just his luck that sometimes they have extraordinary consequences. For example, spilling coffee is not so terrible — unless you spill it on your history teacher at a Jesuit high school who happens to be a retired four-star admiral and chooses to make you an example to the class of his extraordinary view of the difference between politicians and military men.

One of Ben's earlies | |  | | Priona
A southwestern drama of love and racial awakening on a New Mexico Indian pueblo. Dueweke integrates the Pueblo Indian culture into every twist of their challenging romance. The Jemez customs, language, and philosophies come alive in Priona's poems, in the widening racial gap between them, and in the contest of long distance running skills Ben is drawn into with one of Priona's brothers.
PRIONA is a story of love, poetry, and racial awakening set in the Jemez Pueblo of New Mexico in 1959. Ben is seventeen, Priona sixteen. She wants to be the philosopher-poet of the Native Americans and has run away to follow her dream in New York. Ben meets her on a train and is confounded by his feelings for this beautiful dark-skinned girl from a culture he never even knew existed. She sure wouldn't fit into the culture he grew up in —1950s white Midwest suburbia. Priona's energizing poetry and Ben's oboe virtuosity act as catalysts to bring them together.

In 2048, politics and old-fashioned ambition yield to neural network computer technology in this speculative thriller. THE MEDIA REPUBLIC describes a society surprisingly similar to its twentieth-century ancestor, despite all the differences like game-show elections, mergers between the political parties and the media networks, and robotically-enforced electoral rules. Dueweke, a Silicon Valley research physicist and author of four other novels and several award-winning short stories, integrates realistic computer and robotic technology into a continually twisting and evolving plot.
It’s election year 2048. Campaigns and politicians are not like they used to be. Baseball sluggers and porn queens on game shows — that's the new American politics. TV networks have merged with political parties to run "quality" candidates. A new Government superagency, Committee for Political Equality, COPE, is making sure everybody plays by the rules, and using state-of-the-art computer and robotic technology to enforce those rules. They call it a disciplined democracy. But computer evolution has outstripped society’s literacy, and has even bypassed COPE itself. A Nobel physicist disc | |  | | The Media Republic
