The world of demons and magic and things that go bump in the night is where men like Jack Ransom thrive. Men who work for hire, who get paid to track bounties on people and creatures and things that have no names. Paid to hunt them. Paid to protect them. Sometimes, paid to kill them.
Jack Ransom was one of the best at doing just that. He commanded a high price for his skills. In his years as a gun-for-hire for the paranormal community, he sent evil men and good men alike to their deaths. Men, trolls, demons, wizards. He did it because he could. He did it because he was good at it. He did it for the money.
Until he found love, and turned his back on that life.
That life is about to catch back up to him.
His wife, the woman he loves, has been dragged alive into Hell. Jack Ransom is her only hope of surviving. But to save her, he’ll have to get back into his old ways. Back into his old life.
That’s assuming he lives long enough to bring her back to him.

Imagine if the ownership of all the land claimed by the Vatican was suddenly in question!
This story begins over 400 years ago, a time when man, woman and child were in constant danger of being executed for so-called crimes they did not commit or simply for non-conformist religious beliefs. The story is set in 16th century Brugges and takes us to Elizabethan England. It follows the lives of a family, the Auberts, who have suffered greatly through the consequences of the Roman Inquisition and their rise to glory in spite of Elizabethan rule. It talks about religious persecution and the genocide of the time. The novel is divided into two books, historic and present.
Book 11, set in the present day, brings us right up to date with a thwarted terrorist threat at the London Olympics, then links back into the past as Mark Albert, member of the MI6, traces his ancestry and cannot believe what he finds.
1525 – 1533: Friar Godfrey is vehemently set against his people. They lose their lands and most valuable possessions but unbeknown to them, they have a secret weapon in Duke Jacob de Beckel, supposedly the Friar’s ally, but little does the evil Friar know that the Duke is a descendent of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar and now Master in Charge of the Order of Templars.
1569 – 1580: When Pope Pius V excommunicates Queen Elizabeth, Marcus Aubert, joins the Order of Templars and trains to become an assassin, working underground for Queen Elizabeth’s cause to bring peace to Protestant England. He lives in the town of Baldock where he meets the lovely Ellyn, a tavern worker living in fear of her rapacious uncle.
What Marcus doesn’t realise is that his cousin, Daniel, also has eyes for Ellyn. Intertwined with their rivalry and efforts to win Ellyn’s love, we embark on a crusade around England where political and religious wars are brewing and people on both sides are thirsty for blood. The commoner wants revenge, their lands and property re-instated, the Order of Templars is on a mission to achieve just that.
CUT TO 2012: When Mark Albert receives a mysterious box from his recently deceased grandfather it sends him delving into his ancestral past right back to the 16th century. As a desensitised Telco worker, no-one has the first clue about his SAS background and life within the British MI6. Torn between saving the London Olympics from a major terrorist attack and fulfilling his grandad’s wishes, Mark begins to research a list of curious names his grandfather had bequeathed. He seeks the assistance of his friend, ex-Navy Seal, Mark Finch (Birdy). Together their search leads them to the Grand Master of the Masons in New York and what they begin to uncover is momentous. Mark’s ancestor, Pieter Aubert, was Grand Master of the Order of Templars and fought for justice for the ordinary man.
Lists of thousands of names are carbon dated by Isabelle, a compassionate pro-activist who is determined to follow through on her fight for social injustice. As the threat against the London Olympics heightens, Isabelle, Mark and Birdy embark on a world-wide journey tracking down the rightful owners some of the most sought after real estate in the world, uncovering the descendants of Pieter and other members of the Order. With enough earth shattering information and with the help of his cousin, a litigation lawyer in New York, they begin a class action that will shake the world. But the Vatican has other ideas.

Out there amid the developing conflagration, a few unprotected yet extremely talented and dedicated men and women have the guns, the survival skills, and the terrorist death squad training to exact horrible revenge against whoever their tormentors might be. You are about to travel into a mind zone where you have never been. Hold on tightly. You are now nothing more than a helpless page turner. You are unable to stop yourself from ravenously ingesting page after page of this indescribable trip into madness.
For special-effects artist Ali MacGregor, it can be hard to tell fantasy from reality. Especially when her coworker Victor leaves her alone in the studio one night, surrounded by scary creations—zombies, werewolves and mangled corpses. And then she hears footsteps.... Footsteps that shouldn't be there.
Nearby, Ali's ex, cop Greg Austin, is called to the graveyard set of a horror movie after a real corpse appears. But the dead man isn't who his ID says he is. And Victor isn't who he seems to be, either. Greg quickly realizes that Ali, the woman he's never stopped loving, is in grave danger....
The Invisible World
Boston journalist Sam Adams suspects that his father may have been the infamous gunman who shot President Kennedy from the grassy knoll in 1963. True or not, Sam is certain that his father, the elusive John Adams, is responsible for his sister Abigail’s tortured life of drugs, prostitution, and the conviction that she is a descendant of the Salem witches, as well as the strange circumstances that surround his mother’s final hours.
After his mother dies and is cremated, her ashes are stolen, causing Sam to pursue his father, whom he has not seen in years. In his search Sam discovers that he is not the only one trying to locate his father—federal agents, a disgraced politician, a retired Boston cop, and several journalists join the chase.
The Invisible World portrays how a remarkable family is indelibly blemished by one of the darkest events in American history. “The Invisible World is more than a first-rate political thriller,” says the Boston Globe. “It's an absorbing tale of alienation and loss, and the ramifications of a rootless, troubled family.” What Sam Adams ultimately discovers is that the shadowy realm of conspiracies conjures a world of hidden truths and intrigue in which the familiar is the most mysterious force of all.
Smoked (Book #1 in the Stolen Millions Series)
Smoke Dugan is on the run.
A bomb-maker by profession, he dropped out of sight because of a misunderstanding with his employers about an airplane crash and $2.5 million in cash. Unfortunately, they've found out where Smoke's living – a picturesque seaside city in Maine. And Denny Cruz, a high paid assassin, is on his way from New York to collect him.
Smoke's girlfriend Lola Bell is unaware of his past. Sexy, smart and tough, Lola's a weed that grew up through the cracks in an inner city housing project. Her big eyes belie her secret weapon: she's spent a decade studying the martial arts. The tattoo on her shoulder reads, Girls Kick Ass. When Cruz decides to use Lola to get to Smoke, he has no idea what he's taking on.
A time bomb is ticking as Smoke, Lola, Cruz and anyone unlucky enough to come into their orbit are caught up in a drama of abduction, car chases and triple bluff where escape or violent death look like the only options. But nothing turns out quite as anyone might expect…
A Death at the Palace: 1 (Rex Tracey)
Reporter Rex Tracey has just recovered from his affair with Lithuanian artist Milda Majauskas when she disappears.
He has other worries, not least an anti-immigration group spreading hate across his beloved Tottenham, and a string of attacks on young women at Alexandra Palace. But when Milda’s body is found and Rex becomes a murder suspect, he is forced to seek answers.
Amongst the tea-houses and squats, the yam stores and forbidding tower blocks of this little-glimpsed, forever-changing London, Rex unearths a trail of secrets and falsehoods, from corrupt police to illegal factories. But the truth behind Milda’s disappearance evades him until the final twist, when Rex, and the last people to see her, must all account for their guilt.
Meanwhile, oblivious to the seismic changes around him, an elderly man tends his allotment, cares for his ailing wife and fusses over his camera collection. Until a friendship with a bewitching foreign girl unleashes a surge of memories from the past he has tried to bury, threatening his control over the present, and the survival of those around him.
Dover Beach (The Last P.I. Series, Book 1)
In an America broken by a "limited" nuclear war, no one has use for would-be private eye Wally Sands. No one except for Dr. Charles Winfield, an eccentric scientist who believes he was cloned from a prominent biochemist as part of a top-secret project undertaken before the war.
Sands sets out to find Winfield's mysterious progenitor, but finds himself on the trail of a killer instead.
Now, in far-away, fabled England, Sands must uncover the facts about the case that has brought him to his promised land, and at the same time confront the unsettling truth about his world, his life, and his loyalties.

His escape turns him into a killer’s target in an environment where a complex scheme develops and everyone, no matter how innocent, courts risks . . .
Once, Twice, Thrice Demise (A Noose Murder Mystery)
‘This whole thing is like one of those dodgy clichéd murder mystery TV shows...'
Peter Smith is lodging with the squabbling couple Ruby and Arthur. Their teenage daughter has a crush on the rather wet schoolboy Alex, and can't focus on her exams. She has a good excuse to get out of them when a jobbing joiner is found battered to death in the exam hall.
Noose is on the case, which leads him to unpleasant builder Simon Berre and his corrupt business dealings. Peter is also investigating Simon, as he's trying to get Ruby and Arthur's house demolished. When a peeping tom is also murdered, and Peter ends up beaten by Simon's thugs, it looks like an open and shut case.
But, a mistake by Noose could spell disaster for innocent young Alex...
