 NEW RELEASE!



Techinicolour Sandbox is out at last! A quirky melange of six off-beat, might-just-happen, speculative science fiction stories, held together by an underlying adhesive from the virtual and digital universe—an inevitable epoch the world is approaching in leaps and bounds. These six short stories carry the basic theme, whether it’s a mere mention or a full-on metaverse experience.

From Mars, with Love Terror: Could a habitat simulation be, in fact, a virtual minefield to navigate? It’s worth a thought when reality becomes so skewed as to make one wonder.
 
Puff of Smoke & Quantum Qubits: Entities created from the energies of real life and the virtual world. Is that even possible? It appears so, since a would-be empress enters Real Life to find the emperor she must free.

Trans-galactic Dreaming: Can astral travel really be as simple as falling asleep? And can one return from such travels?

Cabin Cruising: Will our elderly end up going on virtual cruises? What’s to stop its abuse – and meddling offspring who only want their inheritance and the old out of the way?

Adnile: Drenched in a world inhabited by everything fantasy, from dragons to faeries—but is it real? And why does the queen remember her mortal self?

The Robot and the Goldfish: Can a robot evolve to have emotions so he can watch sunsets with his fish? And can a robot suffer grief and loss, then make things right for his well-being?

BENGARIA'S WAR is Out At Last!



The seeds of this story actually started Christmas 2011, but it wasn't until the following year that I decided it needed to be written. After many drafts, oh, let's round it off at seven...or was it eight, and many beta reads and edits, even a couple of rewrites, Bengaria's War finally came together into something I was happy with, my editor was happy with, and hopefully, my readers are happy with.

After eight years, it is now released for all the world to see. To say it's been a frustrating, sometimes depressing ordeal getting this particular book together is an understatement. I have fought many internal battles trying to convince myself that this book was worth all the effort, and financial resources, I had put into it. Many times I'd considered shelving it altogether. But at the back of my mind, I knew it needed more, it needed finishing. And by finishing, it meant an overhaul, a thorough polishing, and scrapping out all the unnecessary bits (akin to cleaving out bits of your soul). I am now finally happy with the results, and I could not have done it without my editor, Laurel. She get's me. She get's my writing. And she is amazing to work with. Thank you so much! And of course, my formatter, Write into Print. The amazing Stef wields magicky stuff to create shiny, professional ebook and paperback files, giving my books the proper spa treatments it needs to shine. Thank you!

To my readers, enjoy!

Jax is Back!

And at last! Jax Marlin - To Catch A Marlin is out.


In the tail end of the 24th Century, Special Inspector Michael Pedroni pursues Jax Marlin,
a beautiful and elusive vigilante. It’s a wild cat and mouse chase that will take him from Earth
to the Bacchus Dome and beyond.

Jax Marlin is not your average criminal. She seeks out evil-doers and law-breakers,
doling out justice in whatever way she sees fit. But lately, she finds she’s been gift-wrapping
criminals specially for her favorite copper.

Four of the world’s leading criminals are lining up to form an alliance. Jax is determined to stop them.
Hot on her heels, Inspector Pedroni finds himself questioning the difference, if any,
between her justice and his. More than that, he wonders why, when he’d had her in his grasp,
he was unable to slap on the restraints and bring her in.
