Eternal Dreams is a fiction fantasy trilogy about six teenage friends who escape into a dream world to hide from the horrors of their own lives, only to find that reality is catching up with them anyway. Drephoria, the name of the stunning dream world created from their collective minds, will test the limits of their friendship, break the balance between good and evil and prove the true values of memories and the imagination. The first book in the trilogy, "The Curse of Memories," focuses on the central character Kail and his dark past, told through memories, while simultaneously introducing the rest of his friends (known as The Inseparable Six) and the other strange and deadly inhabitants of Drephoria. Pitted against the dark queen Malise and her legendary allies known as The Forgotten Four, Kail and his friends must rid their world of evil before they lose themselves forever. Nostalgic, thrilling, heart-breaking, and consistently memorable, Eternal Dreams is fantasy at its finest.

Often when I am asked about my new novel, ‘The Headmaster’s Wager’, I am asked about my memories of my late grandfather. This does not surprise me. After all, I have written a book in which the protagonist, Percival Chen, shares many characteristics with my grandfather. Percival is the headmaster of an English school in wartime Vietnam, as was my grandfather. Percival lives most of his adult life in Vietnam but is ethnically Chinese, and this is crucial to his sense of identity. In addition to being a successful educator and entrepreneur, he is a gambler, drinker, and womanizer. All of these qualities in Percival are inspired by my grandfather. I choose that word carefully – inspired. The book is a work of fiction, and is not ‘based upon’ my grandfather’s life. It does not memorialize him or recount his actions or memories. Instead, it picks up on a thread of his life, and an era he experienced.

What if Angels and Demons were real as well as other creatures of myth and legend, but our knowledge of them was flawed, what if they walked among us on a daily basis and we were just too naive to see them for what they are? How would you know the difference if you never knew the signs? What if an angel could hide its wings, or a witch was just as normal looking as your mother or brother? Would you know who was who, or what was what? Would you even know where to begin? Jason is anything but an ordinary high school student, his skin is as white as snow; his hair an unnatural black that would give coal a run for it's money, and his eyes an emerald green that almost seem to glow. He's tall and heavily muscled, with extensive martial arts training; although his peers are the reason he became a fighter; he was once the victim of bullying and ridicule because of his unearthly appearance. Only Cassie looked past his appearance to see the boy beneath. She became his only friend until Mark appeared. Instantly, Jason and Mark seemed drawn together by more than mere circumstances. For the first time in Jason's life, someone doesn't seem to notice how unearthly his appearance is. Mark doesn't see him as otherworldly. Instead, he sees beauty and strength. Although even he doesn't fully understand why he feels so strongly toward a complete stranger or why he feels he has to know him. This is a story about love conquering all, regardless of past tragedies or the loss both boys have suffered. They will stand hand in hand through thick and thin, as fate throws curve ball after curve ball. Their lives will be forever changed by their meeting; be it for the better or for the worst. Love is never easy, but sometimes, it can be pure and selfless.

They say in life there are no second chances. But what if you had blown it with the girl of your dreams? What would you do knowing that she was out there, in other realities, realities you hadn't screwed up? That kind of thing could really mess you up... and it could make you do "some crazy." Down-on-his-luck David Blunt is as loser as a loser you can get; recently kicked out of school and fired from his dead end job, David's been squatting in his flop-house apartment, avoiding his landlord and subsisting on stale fortune cookies and cheap street meat for weeks. But when David reads a fortune that predicts an epic future for him, he starts to think that his luck is about to change. Emma Gossett is a spirited world traveler full of wanderlust, and never stays put in one place long enough to form any attachments. Her lovable and eccentric Gran insists this is because she was hidden from the Norns as a babe to keep them from naming Emma's fate, a fable Emma puts little faith in. But when Emma meets David, her faith in reality is shaken to the core. Does this rambling cynical romantic hold the answer to the prevailing sense of déjà vu she's been feeling lately? Or is it just something else, as her new and mysterious and magnetic acquaintance Gabriel insists? Perhaps he holds the key to the mysterious sensations she has felt of living another life alongside her own. All Your Fates is a multiverse mindwarp with supernatural elements that one reader commented: "This story is twisting into ways a pretzel couldn't even try!!"
