Sneak Peek: Oracle

OracleToday, we feature a sneak peek of author J.C. Martin’s new crime thriller, Oracle.

As the countdown begins, the body count rises. With London gearing up to host the Olympics, the last thing the city needs is a serial killer stalking the streets, leaving behind a trail of brutal and bizarre murders.

Farscape, and Cutting to the Bone

It was a dual US/UK production, shot in Australia where most of the cast and crew were from, and as such I always thought it had a uniquely “blended” feel that made it stand out from other shows that might be all US, UK, or Australian creations.
