In the summer of 2004, I had a startling, life-changing Holy Spirit encounter. Following that encounter, I became a Holy Spirit-inspired writer. I had no previous experience of book publishing, therefore when I completed my first book I had no idea of how and with whom to publish my book.

My first book is a question and answer book with me asking God the questions on behalf of the entire human race and God the Maker providing all the answers. As far as I was concerned, this makes my…

I published my first book, Code of Deceit, in 2007, and I was fortunate enough to have it hit several best-seller lists. I followed that one with Journey of the Spirit—now renamed The People’s Warrior. This one, a historical fiction did fairly well. It was even voted second best in the mainstream category by readers.

Then In 2008, I published Cold Tears. This book exceeded all my expectations, and I have high ones. Voted the best mystery in the world, the sales and accolades…

Hello to fellow authors and fellow readers!  I have just joined.  I love books and collect old ones.  I have several GA Henty first editions and many far older.  I enjoy all sorts of books as long as they are well-written.  I have always wanted to be a writer and am coming in to the market rather late in life ......

I hope you enjoy my books, aimed mostly at women.  "A Call from France" is aimed at mothers; Francophile mothers would be a boost. It is a true story.

This true tale begins in 1917 and glides through the roaring, optimistic Twenties. The automobile, airplane, radio, telephone and telegraph have just been invented. Prohibition is the law; flappers wear their hair in bobs; Charles Lindbergh and the Prince of Wales are super heroes.

Like most people, I didn’t think much about what my parents were like before I was born.…

As I looked beyond the fields of trees and dry land, there, over in a gaze was a woman standing there waving! Looking deeper, she resembled a frighten women who looked familiar!

“Is that me,” A whisper came into my mind! There in back of her was a man with a gun! It was Creighton!  Her lips started moving, shouting out a warning that her life was at an end!

 I screamed franticly to help her! But at the same time she was yelling for help, not for herself! She…

First off, Man’s Search For Morning is not a text book. It’s not a memoir. It’s no a self help book. But it’s very much a combination of all three of these. It…
