Parallel States

The Parallel Trilogy is a young adult science fiction trilogy about parallel universes. Parallel States is the first book in the series.

The universe is composed of multiple parallel realities, and to pass from one to another requires the traveler to either dream or to die.  Seventeen-year-old Jared Cook has found another way, when he sinks into a coma after a near-fatal head injury he sustains while playing soccer.  He awakes to find himself in an underwater community, where he meets a fellow traveler, Jen Long.  She claims to be his girlfriend, and he learns that she has suffered her own near-death experience.  She has been exiled to the hostile surface by a shadowy Council, that dispenses justice in this new land, for sharing her memories of her previous reality.  Jared vows to assist her in her efforts to survive her sentence, but finds that his coma is beginning to lift, making it progressively more difficult for him to remain in this new reality.  What unfolds is a race to find sanctuary for them both, before Jared’s time runs out.

Parallel States will be available on Amazon or on the Kindle Books platforms in May 2022.

Benny and Max: An Unlikely Love Story

     Benny and Max: An Unlikely Love Story is the story of Maximillian Tottenham-Smythe, or simply Max, an earnest, insecure, painfully shy ex-patriate from the UK who has relocated to the States to escape the smothering shadow of his father, Sir Reginald, the former British ambassador to the United Nations.  He is studying in the local library for an upcoming college examination when he is approached by a beautiful, quirky, young woman who addresses him by stating: We need to purchase the computer and the machete separately.  And so begins a relationship which will subsequently involve a bank robbery, a brain tumor, terrible loss leading to a road to self-discovery, redemption and ultimately in an unexpected, but satisfying conclusion.

This book, a departure from my usual mysteries and thrillers, is now available on Amazon.com and at Kindle books both in print and in e-book format. Hope you enjoy this combination romance and medical procedural.

Past Tense; A cozy island mystery

A casino has just opened on a tiny East Coast island and a world-class shark fishing tournament is taking place there at the same time.  Dr. Amy Lee feels that it’s the perfect time for a reunion with her friends from the West Coast.  Unfortunately one of the those friends just may be holding a grudge from the past.  One that might even threaten Amy’s life.

Past Tense is a cozy island mystery and is the fourth installment in the Amy Lee Murder Mysteries series and reprises many of the colorful characters of her tiny East Coast island community.  Replete with danger, excitement, and puzzling dead-ends, the action careens from the sandy beaches of the island to the big game fishing yachts in its harbor.  From mysterious rifle shots to the yawning maws of hungry sharks, it’s an adventure you don’t want to miss.

Reviewers have described this series of cozy island mysteries as “impossible to put down”; a “solid quick read”; and containing a “cozy island feel with a deadly murder to solve.”
