In The Abode Of Angels

My collaboration with Jock McNeill, originally published under the pseudonym "Armentine Duryea," is beautifully printed and has been highly reviewed. It's also a book I'm quite proud of.

Nothing is ever as it seems in this escapade of personal struggle under the pressure of social constraint. Circumstances drag Faye McRae into a death-defying whirlpool of romance, murder and political intrigue that lead to an empowerment that fills her once drab existence with excitement, purpose and meaning.

One reviewer said this page-turner has "more twists than Chubby Checker!"

This, my first novel, has just been released and I couldn't be more pleased! (Although it was published first, The Sun City Cannabis Club was actually written after Midnight Harvest.)

Suppose you were alone in your mountain cabin, about to eat the dinner you've just cooked. You take a bite—but the meal is cold. You return it to the oven, but that's cold, too. You check the clock, and then, in panic, the telephone operator. The answer is the same: somehow, two days have disappeared, and you have no idea where they went. Your only clue: on your leg, a new, blood-red scar. 

Given my interest in UFOs, it was inevitable that I would write Midnight Harvest, a mainstream novel that examines the controversy regarding UFO abductions from the points of view of three ordinary people: a CIA information analyst, a South American boy, and the gay son of a Texas rancher. I spent three years researching, not only UFO abductions, but the places in which the story takes place so that I could write about them convincingly: The Washington, DC, suburbs; Mount Shasta in California, and the deep rain forest of El Oriente, Ecuador's back country.

When Joshua's fiancée sacrificed herself to save a world, he thought that was the end of her. Instead, she brought him the secret of immortality. Can he free mankind of the fear of death before those who profit by that fear find a way to silence him?
