Nestled in a remote valley, the residents of The Albuquerque Springs Trailer Park have lived out there lives nearly forgotten by the rest of the world. Life was peaceful, quiet, and boring until an industrial accident killed Juan, one of the illegal immigrants who called the valley home. His friends and neighbors were paid to dispose of the victim's body. Unfortunately, he came back and disposed of them- one mouthwatering bite at a time.

If you like Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland you'll love Valley of Death. The story is over 110,000 words in length. It's eighteen chapters of adventure, excitement, horror, and thoughtful humor.

What kind of zombies are they?
There has been an interesting but ultimately pointless debate going on for years about what constitutes a zombie. Is it a dead person who walks around causing mayhem? Or is it someone who is violently insane and seeks only to kill and destroy? Why not both?

Illusion

Click Picture

Illusion explores the challenges faced by a female executive who accepts a job in Perth, Australia. She is head-hunted to lead a significant government-funded organization with a national brief to take Australian citizens' access to knowledge and information into the 21st century.
The novel questions the power wielded by senior public servants, ministers and their advisers, the parliament and the media. In particular, it asks how a woman from another country who has never worked in government can navigate her way through the maze that is the uniquely Australian version of the Westminster form of democracy.
There are many novels about the trials and tribulations of the middle-aged woman. They are brilliant expositions and explorations of the difficulties brought about by desertion of a lifelong partner for a younger woman; the tragedy of illness in a parent or a child; the despair of the empty nest or the ageing face in the mirror in a society that worships youth.
But what of the successful executive who has traversed male-dominated spaces? The woman who has sacrificed time, health and alternative lives where there might have been children and grandchildren? What of the woman who has struggled to get to the top only to find that the view is not what she expected?
Illusion has as its central character Elizabeth Persephone Wallace, a woman in her early 50s who finds herself back in a country to which her family migrated when she was 16 years old. She returned to Scotland after a failed marriage and built a new life in her family’s company in Glasgow.
Returning to Australia is fraught with difficulties but she is excited by the opportunity to make a difference, working at the highest levels in government. Her passion for knowledge and the power of story drives her. After years of working in publishing, she is excited at the possibility of setting government policies that can benefit everyone.
What she discovers is a political game for which she can find no rule book. Surrounded by powerful networks of media, government ministers, social elites and public servants with their own agendas, she encounters barriers that make no sense to her.
She has left a long-term lover behind in Scotland as well as a successful career in the corporate sector. With unfinished personal troubles haunting her and increased media scrutiny she begins to wonder whether she has made the right decision.
She receives unexpected support from some quarters and, at the same time, incomprehensible aggression from others. Thanks to the appearance of a mysterious but wise older woman, as well as the help of new friends, she discovers the courage to deal with the corruption she uncovers.
In the process she heals old wounds and builds a new sense of identity.
This is a novel that does not easily fit into genre. It is neither chick-lit nor romantic comedy. It demonstrates the power of one woman's story against the odds, navigating her career journey through the corridors of political power. There are lessons to be learned but, most of all, this is one woman's journey to finding her power.

It was one last mission. Shannon, a demon hunter with the agency, is looking forward to leaving behind the small town and the vampire she's been stuck with for the past two years. Things are getting complicated fast and she wants out. A fresh start, free of her vampire partner, awaits her if she can survive their final mission and the lonely Christmas holidays.

It was one last mission. Rafe, a vampire doing time with the agency, watches it approach with dread weighing heavily in his stomach. Two years of working with Shannon has been difficult, especially since he started falling for her, but he doesn't want their partnership to end. He has barely a few days to make her face her feelings and stop her from leaving, and he intends to do just that.

When a slimy demon threatens the season of peace and goodwill, it's the chance Rafe has been waiting for and the moment Shannon secretly fears.

Can Rafe make Shannon see that his love for her is real and that she feels something for him too? Can Shannon face her fears and her past, and stop herself from running away from both? Will a wish on a star bring her what her heart truly desires—a vampire for Christmas?

Where Misdeeds Go Unnoticed

Much to his dismay, sixteen year old Connor keeps waking up on a spaceship that looks as if it could have been taken right out of any number of his favorite science fiction books. There, all too familiar looking aliens perform all too predictable examinations: poking, prodding, and probing Connor in ways he has read about many times before. Unsurprisingly, no one believes his oddly stereotypical tales, which is unfortunate, because soon, aliens are everywhere. Indiscriminately leveling buildings, plundering resources, and taking over governments all in the name of benevolence, the alien invasion somehow seems like something Connor had read about many times before – this time in history books. Before long, the alien’s peculiar obsession with Connor leads him to outlandish adventure far from Earth. Along the way, he is shocked to discover that the aliens unexpectedly expected behavior was no fluke; for despite assertions of superiority and a layer of deceptive technology, they are connected to mankind in a way that will shatter all notions about how life on Earth came to be.

Gabe is a young man with a terrible secret: he has what he considers
to be a shameful deformity. He hangs out with a bunch of other
outcasts, some of whom cross the line to juvenile delinquency. Gabe
is an artist, who is betting his future on an upcoming art exhibit at
his school, hoping to parlay his art into a job of some sort when he
graduates, since he has no other particular plans for the future.
While he is working to finish putting together his collection for the
exhibition, he participates in a theft planned and coordinated by one
of his criminally inclined buddies, while pining for the attention of
the lovely, rich and beautiful Grace.

As it happens, Grace's life is not so wonderful, and Gabe's life is
not that bad, all things considered. What is more, the two of them
have a connection that transcends their different backgrounds and
social status. Best of all, Grace actually loves the "deformity" of
which Gabe is ashamed, and encourages him to see himself as special
and gifted rather than deformed.

Grace and Gabe face personal pain and tragedy together, and they
ultimately transcend the barriers of prejudice and class to soar off
into a future that the reader just has to believe will be happy for
both of them.
