The Sibyl's Urn
by John T. Cullen
 An unprecedented journey back in time to several amazing time periods in ancient Rome's long history…a delicious romp for readers who seek a chewy read with lots of historical detail and linguistic asides. Originally intended as a tour guide (which, totally rewritten as a new book, became John T. Cullen's "A Walk in Ancient Rome"--iBooks/Simon & Schuster, May 2005), this is a rare work of fiction written in the second person (the 'you' who accompanies Professor Darwin and his ravishingly beautiful, mysterious assistant Amalthea).

The Christmas Clock
by John T. Cullen
 With personal praise from Ray Bradbury ( "John! Read and loved your Clock. Bravo! Ray Bradbury"). A dark fantasy that updates the tradition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Banker Latchloose is a grumpy, lonely old man who buys a priceless antique and finds in it an Arab djinni and an opportunity to reinvent himself. But it means erasing all his cherished memories as if his wife and children had never existed. The djinni is new on the job, a temp, constantly in touch with the home office by cell phone. Who do you suppose succeeds more in driving the other crazy, Latchloose or the djinni? What fateful decision does Arthur Latchloose make, first by the banks of the River of Time, and later in the portal to his new world and life? It's all in the book, as the Twelve Hours of Christmas toll by, all too quickly.
