LOOSE ENDS (A Jason Ross Mystery Book 4)
Mae Ling, a Chinese national, working at Toronto City Hall, is brutally assaulted in her apartment. Newly promoted Detective Dianne Prentice is assigned to the case. She quickly identifies a prime suspect and a link to a string of unsolved murders. Deputy Police Chief Bob Bentley tells her to talk to Jason Ross. Prentice doesn't see the connection. The Deputy Chief does.
Meanwhile, Jason's wife, Shelley McCloud and her adopted daughter, Rebecca Kerzan, travel to Europe. It's been twenty years since Rebecca's parents were killed in a plane crash and questions remain. Her hopes for closure are dashed when she finds out there's no record of the crash or her father's existence.
When Jason receives an anonymous email outlining Mae Ling's research into Integrated Global, a New York based multi-billion-dollar corporation, with a dubious business record, events merge. Shelley and Rebecca are threatened by former members of the East German Security Service, Rebecca is implicated in the assault on Mae Ling, and Jason becomes a pawn in a game between the Chinese and the Chairman of Integrated Global who is trying to tie off loose ends.

Flood Country: When a Drought Hits, the Water Wars Begin
Jack Miller, former Sydney Morning Herald journalist, follows his instincts to rural Dawson to do a followup piece on a headline that read 'Angry farmer accuses bureaucrat of corruption'.

As Jack and his friends slowly unravel the web of deceit and corruption, which extends through the bureaucracy and into the corridors of political power and big business, they are confronted by an increasingly desperate enemy willing to do anything to stay above the law.

INCEPTION: A Black Flagged Prequel (The Black Flagged Series)
"...explosive thriller in the tradition of Flynn, Thor, Clancy..." - Amazon Reviewer
Daniel Petrovich, the most lethal operative created by the Department of Defense's Black Flagged Program, represents a new breed of covert operative.
He wasn't recruited from Special Forces, law enforcement or any of the alphabet agencies--and he isn't motivated by a sense of undying patriotism or bitter revenge. Petrovich is none of those things, which makes him all the more dangerous. Unlike most "heroes," there's no obvious black and white in Petrovich's world. He sees everything in gray--an uncompromising trait that will keep him alive long enough to pull off one of the biggest coups in covert military history.
INCEPTION is Daniel Petrovich's origin story. The perfect place for a new reader to start the BLACK FLAGGED series.
"Black Flagged lays the foundation for a gritty, high-octane series exploring the serpentine link between covert operations and government agency politics." - Amazon reviewer

Stealth: Book 2 in the intriguing, action-packed Tom Wilder private investigator and international espionage thriller series. (Second edition) (Tom Wilder Thriller Series)
A new technology threatens the world order and rogue Russian Oligarch Victor Zorin has a stolen copy of it ! Can Tom Wilder stop him using it to bring a catastrophe to New York worse than 9/11?
Wilder and his small team have to race against time to track Zorin down - to stop him from using it to blackmail the West. But Zorin doesn't like being chased - he kidnaps Wilder's teenage daughter in a threat to stop Wilder's interfering. Can Wilder get his daughter back and counter Zorin in time to stop disaster striking New Yorkers?
>If you enjoy the way Jack Reacher, Harry Bosch or John Puller tackle crises, you'll love Tom Wilder. So why not meet Tom Wilder today?
Interview with the Author.
Q. Why did you choose a character like Tom Wilder as the main character for your thriller series?
A.Because many authors who write in my chosen thriller genre like Lee Child, David Baldacci, or Michael Connelly have great heroes similar to Wilder. Heroes like these give us writers a chance to weave action-packed stories of conspiracies, assassinations and general mayhem to which our hero characters can respond. However tough the opposition these heroes meet or the situations in which they find themselves, they are the kinds of people with the skills necessary to deal with whatever is thrown at them and they also have that crucial will to win. My books give readers a welcome escape from daily life.
Q. I see you've you picked a background of cyber-warfare? Isn't that something that people read about in the newspapers but aren't really bothered about personally?
A.Yes, maybe, but not for long. Not only is cyber-warfare's potential for huge damage to an enemy now clearly understood, many states are pumping increasing resources and development money into combating it - and Organised Crime Syndicates are doing the same. I realise that my readers may not yet have been affected by cyber-warfare and so may be less interested in it - but they will be. The authorities don't tell them the whole truth about what's really going on right now. Banks, for example, don't talk much about cyber-attacks for fear of panicking their customers. But when quantum computers arrive - as they do in my books - readers should know that there will be no more secrets on the internet; quantum technology can read straight through any of today's encryption technology. But all of that aside, the quantum computer is only there in the background of my books to give the story a plausible way of raising the stakes. And in real life, before too long a weapon such as the Gemini will exist and its ability to bring a country to its knees will be every bit as terrifying as the threat of a nuclear missile attack. And, of course, in cyber-warfare, an enemy's strike can come with no warning - no missiles appearing on radar screens, just sudden power blackouts or worse.
Q.And you've more books coming out shortly I believe?
A.Yes, in the Spring of 2018 and another in the Summer.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
The BLIND SCORPION is a Top Secret computer program for simulating nuclear weapons explosions and the catastrophic havoc they wreak. Dr. Ross Shaheen, the developer of the software, is living the American dream. Between his internationally-recognized nuclear weapons research career at the prestigious Berkeley Lab and his picture-perfect family in the San Francisco suburbs, it's a good life that can only get better...until he is lured into lecturing before an elite group of scientists in the country of his birth: Iran.
The seven thousand mile trip takes Shaheen back to the land of the lion and the sun, yet it also delivers to Iran's very doorstep an important American citizen with a Top Secret security clearance. It soon becomes clear what the Iranians are really after: the BLIND SCORPION. The coveted software is the key to advancing their clandestine nuclear weapons program without the rest of the world being able to prove its existence. Shaheen becomes entangled in a twisted web of espionage, corruption and survival, putting to the test not only his secret knowledge but also the very core of his allegiance to the land he now calls home.
If he lives, Ross Shaheen could walk away a hero.

The Raft (The Barefoot Detective Book 1)
Anything goes aboard the Raft.
The ramshackled, mosquito fleet has no law or authority. The Raft's ships clog the waterways of the Puget Sound, exploiting a loophole in the tax code to thumb their noses at the Government.
But even aboard the Raft, the murder of a young girl cannot go unpunished. It must fall on someone's shoulders to find justice, and that someone, it seems, is Maggie.
Maggie Straight is a Magistrate, a judge for hire, a private policewoman and nanny to the ragtag band of criminals, hippies and burnouts that populate the Raft. She's the only authority the Raft respects. But when Maggie's phone rings one rainy, Northwest morning, it's no Rafter on the other end of the line, but the voice of her ex-girlfriend, Rachael.
In a whirlwind, Maggie finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation, juggling her long-suppressed feelings for Rachael, while attempting to thwart the mainland police's hopes of using the girl's murder as an excuse to expand their authority over the Raft.
When a conservative Senator, with plans to pass a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage, is implicated in the young girl's death, the situation escalates rapidly towards an all-out shooting war.
Maggie must hurry to find the girl's killer, defuse the standoff with the authorities and make peace with how an old love affair ended, all before the Raft destroys itself a hopeless bid for independence.

The Milieu Principle
Mike Daniels cared little for close human relations. He cared even less about the environment.
Why should he? His world already provided him with all the things that mattered in life. Things were about to change.
An unmarked memory stick arrived in the post. He hadn't been expecting anything so paid the object little attention. Mike wasn't to know it held details of a plan to resolve global overpopulation by decimating human numbers on the planet. He soon discovers, however, that the owners of the memory stick want it back, and no loose ends. Now his very existence is at risk and he must run.
Using a false identity, Matt Durham, he finds sanctuary in Canada. In this new life he learns about friendship, comes to appreciate the environment all around. He even believes he finds love. So Matt Durham chooses to close his mind to what brought him to this safe haven.
But, when he is found, Matt Durham is faced with a stark choice. Does he run again, or fight back against his enemies? In truth, he has only one option. Matt realises his only salvation lies in taking on the overwhelming odds ranged against him. To do this he must cross the globe undetected, suffering loss and betrayal along the way. He would also have to learn how to kill.
He had to, because he wanted to live. And the lives of billions of other people depended upon his survival.
