  In Sixteenth Century Europe, as countries extend their global reach, an Anglo-Dutch Allegiance sets out to undermine and bring down the Spanish Empire. 
  When a wealthy Genoese banker and his vivacious wife employ a new tutor, they are under constant surveillance. 
  And not without reason, the Head of the Spanish Security is suspicious of the newly appointed tutor. It is also no coincidence the banker is enlisted to carry out business for the King of Spain. 
  Through erotically themed Masquerade Balls the Allegiance's cause is advanced. These risqué events provide opportunities for covert action and allow young spies to gather valuable intelligence. With the Genoese banker engrossed in the power of his position, secrets are revealed and treasures are uncovered. 
  But the Allegiance's cause is not the only one being pursued. In a series of twists and counter moves, Masquerade Gold leads the reader through the evolving struggles of a complex Europe.

Wealthy rancher Bennett McGreevey wants the land the Blackfoot call home, and he’s powerful enough to ensure the army does his bidding. 
    
  But Nathan Stark is not a soldier. And no cattle baron is going to give him marching orders. It’s a perfect storm for bullets to rain sheer hell across the land …

  Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
  In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
  In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
  Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
  But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.
