For my tenth novel I chose to do something Canadian and what could be more Canadian than the Avro Arrow Interceptor besides the maple leaf, hockey, or beer. Terrorist and mercenary Sal Berringer selects targets in Ontario, Canada, duping the RCAF and leaving his real target unprotected. The only one standing in his way is rogue pilot Harry Kincaid flying an Avro Arrow, the last one of its kind. What is Berringer's real target? Can Harry stop him with a fifty year old Interceptor?

This is also a romace adventure tale about a young couple Harry Kincaid and Meg Bryant. It is a story about a nation's undying love for a jet plane scrapped by a government fifty years ago.

The Jackie Star Collection consists of Baja Nights, Star Investigations, A Star File, Dangerous Blondes, Final Closure and The Border. Never having known her father Jackie was orphaned at eight years of age when her mother Angel Star, a prostitute, died of a drug overdose. She did two tours of duty in the Middle East then became a Private Investigator in San Diego. She's a black belt and an ex Olympic pistol and rifle marksman but besides being able to fight and shoot she has no other skills. Don't mess with Jackie, her family, friends, or clients is the theme of these stories. If you like Indiana Jones novels then maybe you'll like Star novels as well.

A Viking Tale is an Epic Viking Saga that spans a period of twenty years. Wolf a Norse King is an easy going soul and raids only because his village won't make the coming winter unless he finds a treasure his father spoke of. Fortune smiles on him as the first day on English soil he runs into Lord Sandow and a wagon load of gold. He takes the treasure and Abigail Links the woman the Lord was courting. Abby is thrust into a world not of her own choosing and must find a way to cope. Lord Sandow finds help and pursues Wolf seeking revenge. The first half of the book is a story about Abby and how she takes control of Wolf, the way women do. The second half is about their son and daughter, Rolf and Signe, their loves and lives.

The theme of this story is love: the love a man has for a woman, the love a King has for his people, the love they have for him, and the love a mother has for family. Abby the so called slave is the main focus of this tale from beginning to end. Is she the slave or the master? This story will shatter preconceived notions from beginning to end.

The Ghosts of Kara Keep is a story of arranged marriages in days of old. Women tend to complain about their husbands and bearing that in mind I wrote this tale of a nightmare marriage. Amanda is the kindest, caring woman in the world and Duke Huxley the most sinister anyone could dream of. The epic tale covers three generations including the Invasion of William the Conqueror and his harrying of northern England. Few old families survived as they were enslaved or killed and replaced by French patrons.

Long Ago In China is a tale of greed in the Tang Dynasty of old China. Lian, a Talon warrior, has to save the lives of nine of the Emperor's children from assassins. At sword point she commandeers a boat and a drunken sailor, Chen, to man it. From the first Lian swears she'll kill Chen and almost does a couple of times. Chen and his drunken river pirate friends save Lian's life more than once so she has to relent on her decision to kill the man. It's a tug of war between the two, humorous at times.

Writers see an image of someone in their mind when they cast characters and Xena "The Warrior Princess," was in my mind when I wrote about Lian.
