Expatriate Marcus Jacobson wants to make a difference on newly independent Saint Anglia where he is taking up a professorship but there are forces that will test his expectation. The military, under General Marks stages a coup, and Hurricane David is heading for the island.
Marcus also has skeletons in his closet. He's descended from the Planter Class that once owned slaves on the island. He's torn-does he have the right to get involved in the politics of the island or should he be a bystander?
The people Marcus encounters will determine his attitude to the Junta. These people include: Melanie, a student who thinks force should be used to restore democracy; Father Bert, a priest who believes in Liberation Theology; Clarence Baptiste, editor of the local newspaper who will use the media to oppose; The Reverend who runs a dirty tricks campaign for the Junta; Kentish, an islander who is a pacifist by nature and believes that events should run their course. Marcus finds himself being inexorably drawn towards Melanie and when she takes matters into her own hands, the decision is made. But, the Junta is determined to hold on to power at all cost.

Farisia Rising
Enter the civil war-torn country of Thomasia. A mysterious beast has been killing rebels. Pressure attacks of unknown origin plague the land. When Eva Courtenay, the daughter of a prominent parliamentarian, is kidnapped for ransom, she finds herself face to face with the last thing she'd expect-a teenaged boy no older than her. Despite his youth, Reggie Farris already heads a dangerous sect of rebels, grown adults willing to bleed and die for him. While in his captivity, Eva finds herself charmed by his strangeness. But the quaint reverie is short to last. Reader Advisory: 🩸 👊 🤢 This book is technically a sequel to "Oliver Twisted" but it can be read as a standalone. OT is currently unpublished, as is the 3rd book "Vaudeville". In fact, it's probably a good idea to start with this one. I may change the order-this first, OT second. And. I sometimes do character studies on pretty messed up individuals. And it hopefully goes without saying, but just because I write about something doesn't mean I endorse it. 🦆Complete

Fates (On Hold, Rewriting)
Hello! I've decided to re-write this book, because I feel the new direction will make it much more interesting and open up more opportunities. As I update (which I do as often as I can) I write 'UPDATED' next to the chapter number. Until I get it all done, things may not make sense as you're reading them. I'm going to try and stick to the original plot as much as possible, so main characters and big events won't change that much. Thanks for reading! Here's a synopsis: Lilly Madison is a trained killer. She's spent her whole life killing vampires and hunting demonic creatures with her parents. They travel the country constantly, so Lilly hasn't had the opportunities that many kids her age have had, such as a proper schooling and a boyfriend. There is no room in her life for love, but things change when she is assigned to get close to a young man named Jason Adams because he is suspected of being a killer. Jason keeps to himself and stays close to his family, but Lilly is determined to crack through the barrier he seems to have around himself. Talking to students, she finds, reveals only rumors. She needs to get closer to uncover the truth. Shocking events reveal Jason’s true identity that he’s tried so hard to keep buried. Despite all common sense, Lilly finds herself drawn to him. She knows there is no room in her life for love. She knows he's a monster. So why is it that she finds it so hard to tell her parents about what he actually is? Desperate to protect her love’s family, but yearning to be loyal to her own, Lilly is forced to make the choice of who to side with. Will her decision force her to die a gruesome death or become immortal? Read on to find out!Complete
