  streets… and an old enemy rises from the depths.

  feast on their flaws? 
  Join Blunt, Reddish, Firee, Checkered, Breezie, and Greenie on a race against time through 
  a Parallel London teeming with secret portals, ghostly mentors, and cunning illusions. Their 
  final confrontation looms in the Tower of London. The stakes? Nothing less than 
  transcending the limits of Master Wizardry and safeguarding the Orloj’s ancient magic.

  Inspector Gary Wagner hated getting called out at night. The only thing he hated more was the senseless, sudden death of an innocent human being. He didn’t know the woman lying in the filthy, blood-soaked alley – but it was his job to learn everything about her, her family, and her killer.A crime novelist, David Corey was used to plot twists, police investigations, and the wheels of justice. He wasn’t used to real-life police work or the massive effort that goes into an Oklahoma City homicide investigation. He soon learned that fiction is a pale shadow of reality.For Wagner and Corey, the vast number of people touched by one caring woman was amazing – as well as the key to solving the case and fulfilling her dying wish.

  One Visit - A gritty North Wales...

  In sleepy, rural North Wales, Frankie Gibbs, a recently laid off, aimless twenty-year-old on Universal Credit, wants nothing more than to keep his younger brother out of the care system. He single-handedly takes this upon himself while their alcoholic, cocaine-addict, single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and his never-ending wild parties. After Guy is sent to prison, Frankie is coerced into opening his home to Justin, an acquaintance from his school days now turned drug dealer, while his own addiction and self-worth spiral beyond recognition. 
  ''One visit is an astonishing debut. It's raw, shocking, disturbing, insightful and dark, pretty much from start to finish. There are flashes of wit but, in the main, it's a full-frontal assault with the truth of physical, psychological, social and political deterioration in a beautiful part of Wales.''
