  Chris Norman's dreams of being a commercial pilot are shattered when he crashes his plane in central Australia. His life hangs in the balance—a balance that is swayed by the intervention of an Aboriginal bushman bent on his own murderous mission. The bushman leaves Chris with a mysterious and incongruous legacy, a Celtic cross made of stone. 
   
   
   
  Partly blinded and in deep grief at no longer being able to fly, Chris finds his way to the Hebridean islands off the west coast of Scotland, where he seeks to unravel the secrets of the Celtic stone. 
   
   
   
  A blind Hebridean woman, shunned by many in her local community, becomes Chris's reluctant ally, along with a seven-year-old boy who is as wild as the storm-tossed seas that surround the islands. 
   
   
   
  It becomes apparent that the violence of the island's history has carried on into the present. Chris needs to recover from his grief, discover his identity . . . and right an injustice in Scottish history that has shamed an island community.

  What if we could move Mars into a warmer orbit? That's the premise of Shockwave, my new sci-fi novel—and it's not as far-fetched as it sounds… 
  And What if we could ignite the gas giant Jupiter into our second sun in the sky? Another theme in Shockwave - and it's also not as far-fetched as it sounds. 
  BUT what if Time travels about the universe in waves and the time waves that are hitting you personally are also in control of every event in your life? ALSO part of this amazing new book - and again - not as far-fetched as it sounds. 
  The latest Time Wave of any significance is hitting our planet now? Also a premise in my new science fiction novel - and it's not as far-fetched as it sounds either. 
  The first shockwaves have already hit our planet. The next ones are going to be much bigger! You can be the hero or the goat. We're all living in the multi-verse, but this one may be the wrong one for you just as it is the wrong one for the main character of my new sci-fi thriller. Be among the first to read and then review this book for other readers. The world will forever be in your debt.

  Not-quite-newlywed Angela Marchmont is having a belated honeymoon on the idyllic Greek island of Rhodes, but has barely even unpacked her bathing-suit before an unwelcome encounter with the dead body of a young archaeologist draws her into a tangled web of murder and blackmail. 
  Everyone thinks Roy Cavell drowned accidentally, but after receiving a cryptic note under her door Angela isn’t so sure. Cavell had fallen in love with his employer’s beautiful wife Sophia Delisi, leaving a heartbroken fiancée behind him and creating tensions up at the local archaeological dig. Mrs. Delisi is thought to bring bad luck: superstition has it that any man who gets close to her dies. Was Cavell the latest victim of the curse? But then why has someone been searching his luggage? Who is signalling from up at the acropolis? And why is somebody trying to put Angela out of the way? 
  When a second body turns up Angela becomes even more determined to find out the truth—despite the additional complications of a rival detective she can’t shake off, a would-be blackmailer who knows the secrets of her past life, and a husband she’d trust more if only he didn’t keep disappearing in the middle of the night. 
  Investigating a murder wasn’t in Angela's plans, but if she wants to survive her honeymoon she has no choice.
