WITHIN is the story of Andy Stone, his terminally-ill mother, a secretive doctor with a breakthrough cancer treatment, and a drug company that will stop at nothing to suppress it.
Andy’s mother was given conventional medicine in the past – cut, cut, radiation, chemotherapy, chemotherapy. A nurse herself, she grew skeptical of conventional hospitals with cookie-cutter treatments and the one-shot-fits-all solutions of drug companies.
After a terminal cancer diagnosis, she flees her local hospital for the treatment of the enigmatic Doctor Richard Blake. He utilizes a mysterious injection. It works as a kill switch that sends the tumor into a rapid, yet temporary remission. He then administers a unique, comprehensive – and unable to be patented – recovery plan that shows great promise, despite its murky legality.
Not everyone is ready to embrace the groundbreaking doctor, however. Plaxin Pharmaceuticals, a leading cancer drug maker, learns of the secretive treatment. The head of Plaxin becomes determined to stop it from coming to light, at any cost.
Andy Stone soon becomes wrapped up in an increasingly dangerous quest to bring a hopeful new cure to those who need it.
A hopeful new cure his mother desperately needs.

Shadow Road: Book 1 of the Shadows Rising Trilogy
Brenorra Warring's father is going crazy. That's the only conclusion Bren can make when a fire destroys everything they own, and his answer is to take a job in the uncivilized Coalition Colonial Region on the other side of the ocean. Then disaster strikes again. Her father is lost at sea, and Bren is left with nothing but the clothes on her back, the things in her father's satchel, and the discovery that he has been lying about his reasons for leaving. When more of her father's secrets come to light, it becomes clear that someone powerful is killing innocent people to keep those secrets hidden - and they are hunting for Bren. As the only person alive who can figure out what her father knew, Bren winds up forming an alliance with two very different men. The first has been tasked with keeping her safe, and will do anything it takes to bring down the organization stalking her, no matter the cost. The other is a brilliant but icy Naval hero who has been branded a wanted man by the enemy. With time running out and danger rising, Bren must solve the trail of coded messages her father left for her and find the last piece of the puzzle before it falls into the wrong hands. The only rule of this game: do not get caught.

As Long As She Lives (full published version!)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.Complete

Shadow Dance: Book 2 of the Shadows Rising Trilogy
With the discovery of a new lead in Nimkoruguithu, Brenorra Warring has been drawn back into the game. At first, Bren hopes that all she'll have to do is solve another secret code, and then she'll be able to return to the Island and the people she has come to love, but it soon becomes clear that there is much more at stake than finding her father's last binder. When a devastating betrayal nearly costs Bren her life, trust becomes a treacherous commodity, and friends become suspects as the fight to bring the Coventry down moves from the jungle of the Colonies to the ballrooms of high society on the Altyran Coalition continent. Through it all, Bren must discover just how far she is willing to go to finish what her father started - and how much of herself she is willing to lose. NOTE: This is the second book in the Shadows Rising series, and it isn't exactly a standalone. The plot will be understandable, but there are references to characters and events that are built from the first book in the series. It is highly recommended that you start with Shadow Road. You won't be sorry you did.Complete
