A young, gritty and sometimes edgy writer
SHATTERED
After the grisly discovery of a mutilated body, the small community of Greenville is held in the terrifying grip of a serial killer. Author Jason Denton immediately falls under suspicion, and while Sergeant Underwood is determined to prove his guilt, no matter what how he has to do it, the relatives of those being killed aren’t so keen to wait for justice. Caught in the middle is Donna Harp, a young constable partnered with the sergeant. She isn’t convinced the author is guilty, and is determined to catch the killer, whoever he may be, but is she being swayed by Denton’s charm?
A BROTHER’S DEBT
Rival gangsters, a smuggled package, and what seems like an entire sector of space wanting to hit him.
If Step Velkin had known what awaited him he would never have answered his brother’s latest plea for help. Now he’s stuck with an inheritance people would fight to avoid, not claim, and no way out of the mess his brother has left him. All he can do is hope his naval training is enough to keep him alive, and his ship flying, as he pays off A Brother’s Debt.
