Pristine waters and purified evil.

Two by two, dark-haired beauties vanish only to reappear as hanging, plundered corpses. The Virgin Islands boast diamond-white beaches, lush green mountains, a rich cultural heritage—and a brutal killer.

Three years on the “Field-Dresser” case and Special Agent Nathan Brewer is days away from catching the bastard—if he can convince a certain brunette to trust him. Only the woman is more likely to take a casual stroll on the surface of the sun.

After fleeing her troubles in the United States for the quiet life of a school teacher on the island of Tortola, Madelyn Garrett never imagined she’d be fixated upon by pure evil.

In a fight for her life—with a dwindling number of friends—she must rely on her cunning and Nathan’s skills for survival.

Darkness 

This novel has has hidden in the depth of my hard-drive for five years, awaiting its time in the light. I wrote this puppy five years ago and thought it would take the literary world by storm. It was a perfect blend of twisted suspense and romance sure to knock everyone flat on their ass. 

The only one left on their duff after a year word smithing and fine tuning was your truly. Two contest. Two WTF’s. Apparently opening a romance with a brutal and intricately descriptive rape and murder might turn people off. Oops. 

Turned out I didn’t know squat about writing popular fiction. So, I shoved my weary draft into the depths of my computer, but I didn’t give up. I took classes and surrounded myself with seasoned authors. I researched and read for days on end. I wrote and wrote, listened to critiques and wrote some more. 

For All to See, is no longer my first, but I’m thrilled to usher it—after a complete re-write—into the light. 

Do you have something hovering in the darkness? An idea? A career, hobby, or goal you keep hidden from the world? Go ahead, work on it, and then take that dog for a walk.
