Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship

Alone In The Woods
A plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, trying to get Marty home to his wife in labour. “Through the next ten days, Marty experiences danger, depression, and fierce determination, trying to survive to see his first born child. ‘Now I understood what Buck meant by survival being mostly mental,’ he thinks to himself. Injured, bleeding, and battered, Marty endures attacks by wolves, bear, and a wild cat, and nearly drowns in a freezing river. He records his ordeal in his journal as he clings to memories of Robin. The author builds the excitement minute by minute, so that the reader walks each agonizing mile with his hero.”

1929 (Book One)
”the first in an epic trilogy centered in the Great Depression. 1929 follows three couples through the economic collapse of 1929 and their struggles to adjust to a sudden and violent shift in lifestyle. This mammoth novel will take readers to a dark time in American history. A time when so many lost so much and the bonds of love and friendship were the only things that held the fabric of life together. While some say history is now repeating itself with our current economic downturn, 1929 provides hours of entertainment and escape while giving readers a chance to connect and relate to the characters struggles of love, loss and finding hope. “

TO HOLD A STORM
“A British man, Daniel Moorcroft, disappears in to the Canadian Wilderness. Why has he decided to flee society? What do the strange encounters with the bears and the wolves mean?”…explanation of Daniel’s post-war-traumatic-stress…“As Daniels adventures become increasingly serious it becomes obvious he cannot hide from his past, even in the vast emptiness of the Canadian Wilderness…This is story-telling like it used to be, and at the centre a character who is determined to succeed and to survive.”

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy

THE LINCOLN LETTER
“Hidden deep within the annals of American history lies a secret so devastating, it could put an end to the ‘United’ States forever…”

A Nation of Ruins
"Combining an impassioned defense of progressive ideals and liberal Christianity with a gripping near-future legal thriller, A Nation of Ruins presents a vision of a very different world, but one entirely too close to our own for comfort..."

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures

The Sun Brings Night

Escape To The Country
”Leah is accused of a crime she didn't commit. Dumped by Adam, the man she planned to marry, she escapes to Aunt Jayne's smallholding in the Kent village of Winkleigh Marsh. Heartbroken and homeless, she strives to clear her name and deal with her emotions. Jayne treats Leah's unhappiness with herbal remedies, cowslip wine and common sense in equal measure. In return Leah works hard for the delicious home-cooked meals they share. She wrestles with sheep, breaks nails and gets stuck in the mud - learning as much about herself as she does about farming. Soon Leah is happy milking cows, mucking out pigs and falling halfway in love with Duncan, a dishy tractor driver. Back in London, steps are being taken to investigate what's happened to the missing money. It looks as though the real embezzler must soon be unmasked and Leah will have to chose between resuming her old life or starting a new one. That's when her problems really start.”
