Black Pomegranate

Alfred Hobson is a nerdy associate professor at a small undistinguished California college. His student, Catarina Perez Valdez, is one of the zany citizens of a quirky Central American republic. Cat enlists Hobson in a quest to help her father regain his rightful position as “el presidente” of Granada Negra by recovering a giant ruby that’s the country’s symbol of political power: the Black Pomegranate. Somewhere along the way Alfred and Catarina fall in love.

BLACK POMEGRANATE is a romantic adventure, a modern-day fairy tale, a slapstick laugh-aloud comedy, a thriller, a page-turner—and thoroughly delightful reading.
