Prolog — Part 2

The thrill of the sea spray, the wind, the bouncing and jostling of the Zodiac always excited him. He could think of nothing he would prefer at three in the morning. Stefano had the compass and kept waving directions when he veered, pushed off course by an unforgiving sea. The chop got worse as CapriContinue reading “Prolog — Part 2”

Just a taste

‘What will you do?’ Jake asked her. She shrugged and looked across the Potomac. A dampness in her underarms was irritating her. It wasn’t that hot. Being called to see the director caused the sweat to overpower her roll-on and stain the underarms of her pantsuit. Or so she thought. She didn’t have much experienceContinue reading “Just a taste”

Although my eyes are dulled by pain, my mind is sharp as a boar spear. Yes, yes,Continue reading “Milesian Son of Light – Trailer – Release Date July 3rd”

The Reticent Detective – Trailer – Due for release in the autumn

The Love Nest Laconto could not believe his luck as he stopped at the bedroom door and looked down on the near naked form of Welch. She was tangled in the top sheet, all that was needed in the balmy autumn nights, looking like she’d been wrestling a crocodile. Tray in hand, he moved toContinue reading “The Reticent Detective – Trailer – Due for release in the autumn”

The Reticent Detective Synopsis

Due for release in the autumn: “We are all outside the law, just some of us are further out than others.” Laconto is a police inspector with a past he does not want to discuss.
