Paying the Piper

The Piper is the Bay Area’s infamous child kidnapper. When the Piper selected crime reporter, Scott Fleetwood, to report on his latest child kidnapping, Scott thought he had the world in his grasp, but he held nothing. Scott had been duped by a wannabe. By the time the FBI exposed the hoaxer, time had run out, leaving the real Piper only one course of action—to kill the child. With a murder added to his résumé, the Piper vanished leaving Scott to take blame from the public and the investigating FBI agent, Tom Sheils. But now, eight years later, the Piper’s back, with very specific targets in mind—Scott’s young children. Scott can have his children back as long as he can pay the ransom. The hard part is that ransom isn’t measured in dollars, but in blood.

PAYING THE PIPER…some debts can’t be repaid.

Dorchester Publishing will be releasing this book under the Leisure Thriller imprint in November 1st, 2007.

Accidents Waiting to Happen

A Bloody Dagger Award Nominee

Josh Michaels is worth more dead than alive. He just doesn’t know it yet. He has no idea why someone would try to kill him, clearly that’s exactly what happened. When an SUV forced Josh’s car off the road and into a river, it might have been an accident. But when Josh looked up at the road, expecting to see the SUV’s driver rushing to help him, all he saw was the driver watching him calmly…then giving him a “thumbs down” sign. That was merely the first attempt on Josh’s life, all of them designed to look like accidents, and all of them very nearly fatal. With his time—and maybe his luck—running out and no one willing to believe him, Josh had better figure out who wants him dead and why…before it’s too late.

Dorchester Publishing has bought the mass paperback rights and the book will released under the Leisure Thriller imprint in March 2007.

Dragged into Darkness

The world is a dark place, even in daylight. DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS features fifteen tales of horror from the subtle to the extreme. The characters are ordinary people who are ripped from their daily routines into a dark world.
"Dragged Into Darkness" is filled with characters who are one step from the light and a normal existence, and because of this, their world will never be the same.

In "The Eye Of The Beholder," Dr. Gareth Troy empathizes with his tortured patients' disfigurements a little too much.

For Dave in "Hungry For More," the eating habits of Americans are nothing like those of the people in England.

In "Acceptable Losses," Captain John Clelland has struck the worst of bargains for the lives of allied soldiers.

In "Runway 37," Neal is forced to land his crippled light aircraft on a runway that can’t possibly exist.

DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS will make you clamor for the light.

This collection features an introduction by Gene O'Neill and cover art by GAK.

All stories have a history and this collection is no different. If you'd like to know what inspired these stories, go here!
