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.

In the aftermath of a chilling execution, secrets that were buried for years are beginning to surface, threatening to unravel everything. Ava Sinclair, once a skilled psychiatrist who navigated the minds of the most dangerous criminals, is now haunted by a past she can no longer ignore. The man she thought she had forgotten-Marcus Ravel-was executed for his gruesome crimes, but his shadow still looms over her. As Ava tries to reclaim her life, fragmented memories begin to resurface. Memories of her involvement with Marcus, of a dangerous game that blurred the lines between the professional and personal, between sanity and madness. The past she thought was locked away is now spilling into the present, unraveling her sense of self. With the arrival of a cryptic message and a series of unsettling events, Ava is forced to confront the truth she's been running from. As she digs deeper into Marcus's dark world, she realizes that the game is far from over, and she's still playing it-unwittingly-and at a much higher stake. But she's not alone. Eric Grant, the detective who once guided her through the dark maze of Marcus's mind, now holds secrets of his own. The truth about his involvement with Marcus is more dangerous than Ava could have ever imagined, and his loyalties are being questioned as the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred. In this twisted, psychological thriller, Ava must face the truth about her own darkness, and what it means to be caught in a game where silence is as deadly as the truth. *The Silent Game* is the second book in a gripping new series that will leave readers questioning their own perceptions of right and wrong, and just how far they would go to survive the ultimate game of secrets.Complete

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
