DARKROOM

The truth shall set you free...

When photojournalist Xandra Carrick experiences supernatural visions that reveal atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers during the Vietnam War, she finds herself entangled in a forty-year-old conspiracy that could plunge the nation into political turmoil.

Launching headlong into a quest to learn the truth from her father, Peter Carrick, a Pulitzer Prize Laureate who served as an embedded photographer during the war, she confronts him about a dark secret he has kept. A secret that has devastated their family, and could cost him everything.

Her investigations lead to her departed mother's journal, which tell of love, spiritual awakening, and surviving the fall of Saigon.

Throughout her perilous hunt for answers, powerful forces stop at nothing to prevent her from revealing the truth. Government agencies pursue her across the continent and arrest her for murder, domestic terrorism and an assassination attempt on the newly elected president of the United States.
Darkroom is a tale of suspense that tears the covers off the human struggle for truth, in a world imprisoned by lies.

HUMAN RESOURCES

When ex-hacker extraordinaire, Ethan Farrell gets promoted to Chief of Network Security at Gentech, a world class biotech firm, he suddenly finds himself ensnared in a deadly corporate conspiracy.

Within 24 hours, kidnappers abduct his girlfriend and threaten to kill her unless he agrees to hack into Gentech’s internal network to search out evidence that could bring the firm to its knees, while the FBI begins investigating him on homeland security charges.

Wedged between two polarized agendas, Ethan must somehow find a way to stay out of prison long enough to save Sara.  But the only person he knows he can trust is an autistic genius who only speaks lines from Star Trek.

HUMAN RESOURCES is a tale of suspense and technological intrigue, unafraid to dive into such controversial issues as stem cell technology, cloning and bioethics. 

Yet, at its heart, it is a story of one man’s journey to discover that what he actually wants is the thing he fears the most.

BEYOND JUSTICE

The descent into Hell is not always vertical. Sam Hudson, a reputable San Diego attorney, learns this when he is wrongfully convicted of the brutal rape and murder of his wife and daughter, and is sent to death row where he awaits execution by lethal injection.

If he survives that long.
   In prison, Sam fights for his life, while his attorney works frantically on his appeal. Sam embraces the faith of his departed wife, and begins to manifest supernatural abilities (akin to Johnny Smith's in Stephen King's THE DEAD ZONE.)  Abilities which saves lives-- his own, and those of his unlikely allies. Abilities which uncover the true serial killer’s identity, unlocking the door to his exoneration.

Now a free man, Sam's newfound faith confronts him with most insurmountable challenge yet. A challenge beyond vengeance, beyond rage, beyond anything Sam believes himself capable of: fo forgive the very man who murdered his family according to his faith. But this endeavor reveals darker secrets than either Sam or the killer could ever have imagined. Secrets that hurtle them into a fateful collision course.

BEYOND JUSTICE: A tale of loss, redemption, and the power of faith.

BABEL REASCENDING

Archeologist Sylvia Farraday thought she could walk away from her secret life as a covert agent for the CIA—until she discovered the remnants of an ominous artifact, buried and locked away in the legendary Tower of Babel—an artifact with a destructive potential that makes nuclear Armageddon look like child’s play.

Now thrust into a race against time, al Qaeda, and an unseen mastermind, Sylvia must prevent one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history from falling into the wrong hands. But those hands keep changing.
BABEL REASCENDING is a fast-paced, adventure set in exotic locales such as the ruins of ancient Babylon, the opulent Castle Abyad in Alexandria, Egypt, the limestone citadel of Petra, Jordan, and the Nimitz-class nuclear carrier, USS Ronald Reagan, stationed in the Persian Gulf.
