The Cross of St. Maro
Corruption, Religion, Terrorism, War.
Naïve has never been a word to describe Peter Farrell. As the second son of a St. Louis Irish beat cop, Peter knew better than most that things may not always be what they seem. However, nothing prepared the young attorney for the stack of files that his client hands him. The files contain evidence of a multi-national corporation’s manipulation of the American political system through campaign contributions, bribes, and blackmail. Behind the corruption lies the poster boy for corporate America and the religious right, billionaire Elias St. Armand. Hunted by St. Armand, Farrell escapes from St. Louis to San Francisco, where he reconnects with Sara Ahrens, his former love. More important, she is the only one he can trust now. Over the course of three harrowing days, Peter and Sara discover they are unwilling pawns in St. Armand’s plan to thrust the U.S. into a war with Syria that will set the Middle East ablaze.

Before I Wake
Now Back in Print!
Bad things…
A death-chamber revelation brings ex-FBI agent Arden Davis out of retirement to help catch the madman who murdered her family.
When a mysterious stranger named Nathan Fury asks Arden Davis to return to the Hill—a former asylum now used for clandestine projects—to help profile her family’s killer, she has no choice but to return to that dark place. Even if it destroys her mind. Even if it kills her.
Years ago, seeking a way to endure her horrific past, Arden participated in an experiment to bleach her mind, erase the bad things. Now, struggling to uncover the truth, she can no longer distinguish between friends and enemies. Only one thing is clear: the killer is closer than she thought…
As the line between reality and illusion blurs, as paranoia and suspicion build, Arden suspects she is a pawn in a bigger game. She suspects a cover up. She suspects acquaintances new and old. Most frightening of all, she suspects herself…
