Investigative reporter Maggie Seline unearths a radical scheme by a sinister secret society that will topple the oil industry. Teaming up with Middle East scholar Michael Sonada, she races to Nepal to discover a long-held secret. Can their astonishing discovery harness the powerbrokers before it’s too late?

Excerpt:

The ringing of the phone jarred Maggie from her thoughts. She walked over to the credenza and picked up the receiver.

“Hello.”

“Have you opened your mail today, Ms. Seline?” The male voice on the other end spoke in a low whisper.

“Who is this?”

“Remember your father,” the caller warned.

The line went dead.

Maggie laid down the phone, her pulse racing, and looked toward the picture still lying on her living room carpet. She had not been able to pick it up all this time, but the image left no doubt. Sprawled out on a dirty floor, a bullet hole in his forehead, her father lay in a pool of blood. After all these years, Maggie was now brought face-to-face with the stark truth.

David Seline had been assassinated.

Frank Villa has everything he asked for. He wrote a book proposing that the government give him and other convicts an abandoned island in the Aleutians. Let their families accompany them, with no more welfare checks, and no more three squares and a cot. They’re on their own. The government saves millions and Frank gets his freedom, except for the Coast Guard keeping them all on the island.

The native Aleuts know the Aleutians better. A fierce wind, called a Williwaw, roams the islands, tearing down the works of man. Now Williwaw is trying to drive Frank off the island with rain and snow eighty-five percent of the time. And this god gets a lot of help from Boss Gilmore, another convict, who’s eager to pocket whatever money the men have. Gilmore opens a bar and a house of prostitution, he sells drugs and weapons.

Convicts hate cops, but that’s exactly what Frank needs – a cop, law and order. If he fails, it’s back to prison for the rest of his life.

Kevin can transform into a wolf at will. The government knows about Kevin’s special abilities and is closing in on him. When it seemed all was lost, Amanda came to his aid. Can these two trauma-ridden people overcome their personal demons and discover what it’s like to love again?

Excerpt:

His clothes fell on the floor. Long bushy tail; underbelly; four legs; thick coat of fur; large ears; canines; muzzle. From one moment to the next he had transformed into a great gray wolf. His appearance was sublime.

But she had no time to stick around, dazed by this supernatural phenomenon. A M84 stun grenade flew into the building.

Had Amanda hesitated for a single second or taken the time to process what was happening, they would have been knocked out cold. But she believed in Kevin, mounted him and grabbed on for dear life, handbag still in hand.

With a quickness that was both dazzling and ferocious, he jumped ten feet into one crate, and then into another before he smashed through a small window and fled into the darkness of Austin. Amanda looked at the people around her—the shock on their faces was apparent.

What others are saying:

“This book was absolutely fantastic. The dialogue was snappy and colorful, the action swift, the characters memorable. The author brings a fresh take to the werewolf genre with an utterly fascinating and novel origin myth. I’m really looking forward to seeing sequels and hopefully even a movie! A+ would read again.” – Vincent G Guidry
