IT’S GOOD!

It’s a story that could be ripped from today’s headlines except that the enemy is mystical and the weapons are magical. Freelance journalist-turned-wizard Steve Rowan has to find and defeat a deadly conspiracy in an America twisted and distorted by sorcery. The toughest part is dealing with Washington politicians as magic makes their bodies match their real natures and political power become mystical Power. Steve’s only allies are a female member of a SEAL team,, a haunted cell phone, and a sentient computer named Barnaby.

Imagine Tom Clancy‘s tough spymaster Jack Ryan mixed with a lot of Jim Butcher‘s wise-cracking wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden and a touch of Kim Harrison‘s no-holds-barred pixie witchcraft but in the end, it’s a completely unique story.

“The Last American Wizard” is the first episode of “The New Abnormal.” and is available exclusively on Amazon Kindle. When all 4 episodes have been published, “The New Abnormal” will also be available from Amazon in a paperback edition.

BRING ME BACK

What could possibly go wrong when seventeen-year-old Aliana breaks into an old mansion to find out who was hiding behind the curtain of an attic room window? Everything. Aliana’s life is turned upside down when she meets eighteen-year-old Damon, a male clone, as she struggles to grasp not only the new reality around her, but also the meaning of life itself. Damon is a fierce, unbelievably handsome man on one hand, and a cold, wildly unpredictable scientific creation on the other. When Aliana finds herself in a situation where she must trust Damon with her own life, one answer to a nagging question can mean the difference between life and death – Does a clone have a conscience and a soul?

As humankind faces the ultimate retribution for its past evil doings, Damon and Aliana must unravel the fundamental mystery of what it is that makes us human, if we are to survive as an intrinsic part of the universe. Damon, a supernatural clone, has a heightened sense of awareness; Aliana has an inherent power of her own that was passed on through generations of women in her family. Together, they have a chance to succeed. But the stakes may be too high, and time is running out.

This fast-paced, mysterious story is the first book of a trilogy about an unusual friendship and a quest to find out how black holes, dark energy, and new dimensions of space and time may be a much bigger part of our reality than we’ve been led to believe. It will set readers’ spirits flying and their hearts racing.
