Noah's Children

Image
In 2412, a madman pushed a button and destroyed all life on the surface of the planet. Despite the global turmoil which preceded its demise, few had anticipated total destruction. Noah Daniels had. Ten years earlier, the brilliant botanist had recruited a multi-disciplinary group of humanity’s best. By the time the destruction occurred, they were living in a self-contained civilization, nine thousand feet below the surface of the earth. Over one-thousand years later, his descendants return to the surface and view blue skies for the first time. The paradise is quickly divided, however. Some fear that toxins still remain in the environment. Others fight for control of the new domain. Mutant creations are feared and hunted. Can Noah’s children find peace in the new world or are they destined to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Past Imperfect

Karen Martin is a woman without a past …  Created by the Witness Protection Program, she was once Liza Conroy, a successful stockbroker whose fearless testimony exposed a stock fraud ring and earned the wrath of a New York City crime family. Nick Daniels is a man with a past …  Released from prison, fifteen years after a youthful celebration turned tragic, Nick is shunned by a hometown unable to forgive or forget. He moves on, determined to start a new life. They meet in the quiet lakeside community of Lawson. The attraction is immediate, but neither dares reveal their secrets. The past haunts them as they struggle to build a relationship. So does a stranger, who watches from the shadows. For one of them, there may be no future.

Dark Reflections

Image
When a gang retaliation ends his fiancĂ©’s life, Officer Jack Carlton leaves the force and retreats to his mountain camp. Six months of isolation end, when he climbs to the peak of Mount Douglas and uses binoculars to view the surrounding countryside. He watches in horror as a brutal attack is reflected in the crystal waters of Pineus Creek. When he reaches the water, the attacker is gone and the victim is barely alive. Jack searches for the assailant, despite warnings from the sheriff. The victim, Diana Hollister, regains consciousness and claims to have no memory of the attack. After a second attempt on her life, Jack and Diana flee, but intrigue and danger follow. Who can be trusted, when the law is suspect? Can a shattered heart learn to trust again?
