Jack Thurston eagerly awaited his return to Black Island, his mother’s family retreat in Canada’s wild and pristine cottage country of 1929. Yet when the young lad of ten arrived, no one would have anything to do with him, not his grandfather, not his aunt and uncle, his cousins, not even his mother. He soon discovered that the physical world itself would not interact with him. He no longer possessed even the simple skill of opening a door. The only ones that took note of him were two eerie strangers, a haggard old woman and a creepy little boy that seemed to be always lurking in the shadows. When his grandfather suddenly took ill, Jack knew that these strangers were somehow connected. The urgency of his grandfather’s condition demanded that he be rushed to the hospital at once. The worried and distressed family went along with the dying old man. They somehow had forgotten Jack. He was left by himself trapped inside the cottage on Black Island with nobody other than the two strangers who were trying to get in. The Little Boy of the Forest follows Jack’s odyssey into loneliness and fear with his undying hope that one day his family will return.

Corman had the life. He was the biggest fish in the lake. He had many plump and content wives with whom he wiled away long, warm afternoons in a private cove. Everything was perfect for the carp. But then one night zebra mussels marched into his world. They scattered Corman’s females away. Corman woke up the next morning to discover that he was alone. At once, Corman set out to find his lost harem. But his lake was big, and it was connected to a series of other lakes. His girls could be in any one of the lakes. Finding them would be like finding a needle in the haystack.

Corman the Carp is a series of short stories that follows Corman’s forays and follies, as he scours the lake country in search of his wives. He makes friends and enemies along the way and learns there is a lot more to the world and life than what he possessed in his cove.

The Ambassador of Tanteee is abducted by the warring Quat-tar, an action that could bring the galaxy to the brink of war. Network Command calls upon Colonel Raga and his Special Forces team, Pierce Force to rescue the Tanteee statesman. Should Pierce Force fail, the Coalition will lose any chance of gaining the Tanteee’s technology and mineral wealth.

Network Command exploits this opportunity to send a strike force against the Ormacronis shipyards, the suppliers of warships to the Quat-tar—a move that nearly causes political collapse within the Coalition Assembly—while silently in the background the Directorate of Covert Operations manoeuvres things along to suit their own deceptive needs and ultimate design. They require the Quat-tar’s secondary planet for their own.

The pressure is on; Pierce Force must gain control of the volatile situation, battle against overwhelming odds and retrieve the Ambassador before Tanteee is invaded and galactic confrontation erupts.

Book One of the Hinothian Crystal Series:

Speaking With Shugaan

Aaiden had been raised to believe that magic existed and was to be respected, but he would probably never see any of it.  He had been taught that the stories that crazy Pluritan told the village children, stories of Dragons, Dwarves and warrior women with angel wings, were just a product of a feeble old mind.

            Until the day came, much to his surprise, that he showed the entire village that he had powerful magic of his own.  This would send him away from the only home he had ever known; with a person he did not fully know or trust, to learn how to control it.

            And with the discovery of his magic there would come danger and death.  The young Wizard would have to follow the path his dreams would lay before him and search out the magical creatures that before had only existed in the imagination of a very old man.
