After 34 years in the asset management and people business, I changed careers to paint and write full time. I thought my art was compelling, but writing is consuming and I love it. I especially enjoy writing thrillers with an 'other-worldly' edge, where my characters - ordinary men and women, are challenged by extraordinary experiences.
My latest thriller: THE MESSENGER-RELOADED, has D17’s JACK CHANDLER getting back to business finding the money-men controlling western governments. But the targets are disappearing and he wants to know why. Confronting shady arms dealer, Levi Jaffe, before he, too, disappears sets off a chain of events that throws Jack into a maze of corruption and blackmail which includes the President and the NSA. Challenging those behind the mayhem not only puts him and fellow operative, Sam Mason, on the trail of a secret organisation willing to do anything to expand its hold, but also threatens to destroy them and D17.
In THE MESSENGER, Jack Chandler is a Special Services soldier plagued by images of war dead, who, unless the killing stops are going to slide back into his world and destroy it. He's told he's suffering PTSD - he hopes it is - the alternative, that what he is seeing is real, horrifies him. Discovering a US plan to invade Iran – a plan that will cause millions more to die, he sets out to stop the carnage. But are the visions real or is Jack's conscience creating them?
WORLDS APART, has Harry Ford waking from a heart attack to find his wife at his bedside, an event that terrifies him, as he knows she died the previous year in a car crash that he caused and which haunts him daily. Nothing else in his life is as he remembers it and he sets out to seek the truth about who he is. What he finds blows his mind and has him chasing his tail to stay alive.
THE PARADIGM CULTURE takes as its theme the old adage: 'Be careful what you wish for ...' which, in the case of Dan Wright, does come true and is a nightmare that threatens the lives of him and those close to him. But above that mayhem is a bigger question: Who's behind his wish-granting? The answer could change the future of his world.
For those of you who like something shorter, CIRCLE OF DECEIT is a 15,000 word thriller that has a man leaving a lucrative directorship in business to write children's stories. His wife isn't pleased - she misses the high life and nags him to go back. But he can't go back - and he can't tell her why. Her efforts to get him to return to business open a Pandora's box of intrigue and recriminations which has him questioning his marriage and his future.
Happy reading!
