The Disputed Barricade

Under Contract to Grey Line Entertainment

Virgil Conlan protects Mother Earth as an animal defends its young, selfless and oblivious to consequence. Dispassionate, the money machine wants him dead. She was drawn to the beach house to write his biography. Fall and redemption, love and loss, mysticism and violence take an inevitable path to the disputed barricade.

Cerberus Island

Cerberus Island

Available
Now

Hell is not hot. Hell is cold, and its name is Cerberus Island.

Society has got tired of bleeding hearts, of pampering to criminals with comfortable prisons, rights, TV, and lawyers who make fortunes out of appeals. So, society demanded, and got, Cerberus Island.

Sometime in the future. An Arctic Gulag, hell on Earth, where the dregs of society are left to rot and nobody cares if they live or die, least of all the prisoners. There is no escape. There is nowhere to go. But then nothing is quite what is seems, the impossible is everywhere, and horror stalks like a spectre on Cerberus Island.

Cowley's Curse

Cowley's Curse

Under Contract to Grey Line Entertainment

The dam, lifeblood of the Ferrara Mine, looms over Elk Valley town like a spectre of doom. Bob Harmon knows it is unsafe. He should, safety is his business. And no one will listen.
Winter in the Yukon. Bone chilling temperatures. Danger everywhere.
Harmon starts to think he just might be wrong until he gets threatened, shot at, run off the road and typecast as the local pariah. So, naturally, he digs in his heels.
And who was Cowley, and what was his curse? And why was the old man's son just watching and waiting? And who stole the dynamite, and why?

Tension builds up to the horrifying finale, and Harmon is charged with murder.

Ryerson's Process

Ryerson's Process

Available
Now

Burundanga is a particularly nasty drug. It makes you forget. Everything.
Alan Ryerson woke up one night on a beach in Spain knowing nothing, not even his own name, and it scared the hell out of him. Who was he, why was he there, what had happened and what had he done?
After hospital, suspicious police, a nightmare escape and drive through the mountains of southern Spain, he returns to Toronto where clues have pointed him, and slowly rediscovers himself.
It turns out he is an industrial chemist, inventor of a revolutionary alternative to gasoline: cheap, clean, efficient, and a major oil producing nation wants him stopped, at any cost.

Fast paced action culminates in a hair raising finale at Niagara Falls.

Genesis

Available
Now

She tried disease. She tried floods and earthquakes. She tried mass starvation. None of it worked, so she plucked an asteroid out of space and sent it like a rock from a slingshot. Hell, one got rid of the dinosaurs, so how difficult could it be to get rid of the upright apes called man?

Answer. It wasn't.

One spaceship made it. Most of its crew didn't. Five hundred years is a long time in cryo-stasis.

And now they've come home, back to Earth, but she's put conditions on their return, and they're tough.

The Iron Cauldron

The Iron Cauldron

Coming Soon

If something looks too good to be true, it usually is. Phillip Rhodes wasn't a fool, but he was naive when he went to western Australia to take up a position as geologist with Western Exploration and Development and found himself in the middle of a mining scam.
It might be all right to be squeamish in the City or on Wall Street, but the middle of the Pilbarra, the Iron Cauldron Country is an easy place to lose bodies.
Rhodes was up there when the cyclone struck. It probably saved him from getting shot. It certainly showed him how much he loved Tessa.

Heat, tension, danger and intrigue build up to the climax in the outback town of Marble Bar.

Castle Dark

Frances West knew she had a problem when the front of her house blew out. Of course the smell of gelignite was a dead giveaway, but it was the voodoo doll that made her think back to the sewers of Prague and Drakkar, the vampire.

The dungeons of an ancient castle. Wolves that aren't quite wolves. A bloody battle with saw-toothed raptors from hell. Mindless zombies and a screaming snowstorm. Frances West fights all the vampire Drakkar's attempts to steal her mind and life force, and bring his reign of terror to an end.
