Romance with a touch of Ooh la la!
The young American hadn’t come to the south of France looking for love. In fact, all Jeff had signed up for was a French-language prerequisite for his Business Degree.

Yet instead, he found himself captivated by the blue eyes, shapely figure, and sensual confidence of this beautiful French widow.

Despite their differences, Jeff is drawn to Lorraine like a moth to a flame - and as he begins to peel away the layers of her reserved exterior, he discovers a passion burning within her that threatens to inflame them both.

But Jeff’s time in France is already coming to an end - and before it does, he and Lorraine must ask themselves some difficult questions.

Can their spark endure the many miles and years that separate them? Or is their May-to-September love affair destined to become nothing but a memory?

Lorraine is a passionate tale of a younger man falling for an older woman - described by readers as “an amazing romance” by an author with a “wicked sense of humor.”

A Post-apocalyptic SciFi Thriller: murder, love, and lust. Oh, did I mention murder?
In the teeming sky-city of Metrofloat New York, thirty million survivors of a global pandemic live in pampered privilege - ruled by an all-powerful council of oligarchs who maintain the status-quo with murderous efficiency.

Beneath them, in the disease-ridden farmlands of America, the rest of humanity struggles for survival. Bodies ravaged by a flesh-eating disease, forced to replace rotten limbs and organs with cybernetics, those poor souls gaze up at the floating metropolis filled with both jealousy and resentment.

There are millions of people who’d like to see the council eliminated, either to end their unjust regime, or replace it with one even more exploitative. However, they’ve always been untouchable. Too powerful and well-protected to ever be in danger.

Until the first of them is murdered.

A shadowy assassin has begun a mission to eliminate the oligarchs of Metrofloat one-by-one. Able to bypass the security that normally protects the council, the killer has left the New York Police at a loss and put the entire city on edge.

In desperation, the police turn to the last man anybody would have expected them to - including the man himself!

Years earlier, the New York Police had exiled Detective Matthew Heart to the blighted hellscape beneath Metrofloat New York. Now, they’re reluctantly summoning him back to track down the killer before he can strike again.

With both his career and his future at stake, Detective Heart must race against time to identify the assassin. However, before he’s even left the precinct, he encounters his first problem.

The number one suspect on Heart’s list has the perfect alibi.

He’s dead.

Metrofloat New York is a fast-paced and compelling sci-fi crime thriller set in a grim and dystopian future. Thought-provoking and provocative, readers have described it as “a journey of twists and turns with an unexpected outcome” and “everything both a good sci-fi book needs, and a good crime novel needs.”

Science fiction with (gasp) sex! A Romantic Comedy about Gender Stereotypes.
Alan Maitland thinks he’s The Man.

It’s taken him years to navigate the man-to-man, testosterone-soaked battleground of Wall Street politics. He’s had to fight tooth and nail to climb each rung of the corporate ladder. However, Alan’s always believed it’s going to be worth it - and tonight, he’s going to bed convinced he’s on the verge of finally breaking big.

But then, the impossible happens.

Alan awakens in an unfamiliar hotel room, with an unfamiliar man, and inhabiting an unfamiliar body. Somehow, he switched places with a beautiful young stranger - and right when she was getting intimate!

Meanwhile, across the city, high-class escort girl Hana Toussaint finds herself similarly transported - into a lush bed, in a luxurious penthouse, and into Alan’s body! The two of them have inexplicably traded places, and after the desperate scramble to track each other down, they quickly realize that neither of them knows why.

So begins the frantic search for a solution, and the struggle to maintain each other’s lives long enough to return to them. As ambitious Alan learns firsthand how society treats women, he also witnesses how deftly Hana guides the future of his high-flying career. Soon, he comes to realize that he’s developing feelings for the woman who became the man he used to be.

14 Short Stories of "reality-based" horror
We all die. Rich, poor, famous, unknown, cultured, or uneducated, we all leave this world. Some of us leave naturally, some of us leave accidentally, and some of us leave deliberately. Yet no matter what any of us do, we all face that final moment of our lives.

Author’s Note
These stories are based on real life: news articles, random things from the Internet, and personal accounts given to me by family and friends. Horror is not necessarily monsters and crazed serial killers, but rather our day-to-day lives and the sometimes overwhelming difficulties we face.
