  A sociopath managing an aged care facility: What could go wrong? 
   
  Precocious and pretty Maxine Gilbert is a clever and talented nine-year-old, adored by a doting father. She is also cruel, sadistic and without remorse, delighting in manipulating others and torturing small animals. When her mother is diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, Maxine is disgusted, not just by her mother’s disability, but by the inconvenience it brings. Watching a nurse care for her mother, Maxine learns that nurses can hurt or heal. Maxine decides to be a nurse when she grows up. 
   
  Forty years on, after countless complaints against her nursing in various clinical care settings, Maxine scams a job as Managing Director of an aged care facility, Treetops, and the residents are in for a rough time. 
   
  Under Maxine’s management, physical and medical restraint of residents is encouraged, and neglect, poor hygiene, and restrictions of residents’ liberty, nourishment and medical support are exhorted. Frightened, depressed, and malnourished residents are left isolated, locked away, and laying in their own waste. They develop excruciating infections, suffer illness, and even die. Maxine faces rising antagonism from Treetops’ residents, and their friends and family.  
   
  A new carer at Treetops, Seleena, who recently escaped an abusive marriage, cannot stay silent. Along with warning residents, and others, Seleena writes a letter of complaint. After finding a suspicious lump in her breast, could Maxine, who always hated illness and vulnerability in others, finally learn compassion? Or will she continue her ruthless ways?

  Dead Man's Wine - A Sarah McKee...

  One week before the swanky, vino-drenched Flight of Fancy Charity Auction in Sonoma, California, someone decides that blending grape varieties just isn’t thrilling enough and goes full-blown murder mystery. A shady character—who apparently had a side hustle crafting counterfeit bottles of extremely pricey wine—ends up very dead. And by "very dead," we mean unrecognizable: wallet gone, car missing, computer swiped, and face… well, let’s just say the killer took “faceless” quite literally. 
  Enter Sarah McKee, our wine expert and (probably) the only person who can sniff out a wine’s origin and potentially a murder victim. But instead of a solid lead, all she finds is a crumpled piece of paper in the dead guy's pocket—a bunch of random numbers, circles, and checkmarks that looks like the world’s least fun Sudoku. 
  Then, as if one mysterious murder weren’t enough to pair with a nice Merlot, a second victim shows up. This time, the murder weapon points directly at Sarah’s good friend Zach Sullivan, who’s already knee-deep in his own woes: thanks to his dad’s gambling habits. And to make matters worse, Zach’s the only one with even a whiff of motive for offing both victims. 
  Determined to clear Zach's name, Sarah teams up with a smokin’ hot sheriff who follows the rulebook like it's his life’s work. Together, they sift through Sonoma’s secrets, hoping the counterfeit crew behind this wine scheme will slip up before they get corked themselves. But as they uncover the twisted plot, Sarah realizes the list from the pocket isn’t just a grocery list of fine vintages—it’s the key to unmasking the whole operation. 
  Now, the question is: can Sarah connect the dots, reveal the killer at the auction, and clear Zach’s name before they’re all served up with a sinister side of danger? Grab your glass—it’s about to get bubbly.

  Modern-Day Piracy Square off Against the U.S. Navy Under the High SeasIt's 2037. A band of modern-day pirates station-hops across the Indian Ocean in an old Russian submarine bought off the black market. Each attack bolder and more costly than the last, these pirates leave behind a trail of broken bodies, businesses, and stolen submarines at every undersea station they visit—and it’s up to Lieutenant Commander Alex Coleman and attack submarine USS Kansas to stop them.Teaming up with his old college roommate and not-so-gentle giant, marine lieutenant colonel Paul Swanson, Alex sets out on his very own pirate hunt. But these outlaws aren’t in rundown little skiffs that are easy to track and find. They’ve got a genuine warship and the will to turn weapons against innocent civilians and undersea stations, and more importantly, they’re good at stealth.With time running out, Alex convinces his friendly neighborhood U.N. representative to rent a ridiculously expensive civilian submarine with every bell and whistle a rich guy can dream of—and many Alex can't! Cut off from Kansas’ support, he and the marines play bait for the pirates.Alex isn’t used to in-your-face battles. He’s trained to push buttons and fire torpedoes, not for the messy and bloody hand-to-hand stuff. His plan is for Kansas to nab the pirates before anyone can wave a gun near his nerdy face. But plans never survive contact with the enemy, and when the hunters become the hunted, can Alex learn a new type of warfare before it’s too late? 
  Before the Storm is a prequel to the near-future World War III submarine series War of the Submarine.
