“Please find me, Thomas! Please!”

Two years ago, Dr. Gina Brady broke Thomas Prescott’s heart, but now her panic-stricken satellite phone call starts it beating again with a fury. Thugs kidnapped the good doctor from the remote jungle village where she was working, and now the retired homicide detective’s expert skills are desperately needed to save her.

Led by a colorful, but perhaps untrustworthy local guide, Prescott journeys deep into the Bolivian Amazon, plunging into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen, is the jungle itself.

When Gina’s trail leads to a chance encounter with an archaeological expedition, the search for the missing doctor takes on even deadlier consequences. But Prescott will not relent in this punishing quest until, once again, he holds Gina in his arms.

The books in The Thomas Prescott Series can be enjoyed in any order, so grab Jungle Up and get started today.

Two covert operatives stand between an insidious scientific conspiracy and global catastrophe.

Alex Wolfe is an elite agent with the CIA. He has a proven track record of stopping international bioweapons programs. Skylar Cruz is a skilled Marine whose battlefield injury sidelined her from serving her country.

When an employee of the English pub where you're staying during your vacation is murdered, and it happens on the first night you're there, it's definitely not the way to start a vacation!

A vacation in Northern England with three friends is a dream come true for Kat. Many famous authors lived and worked there, and Kat, who is an author, was looking forward to learning more about them. But the ugly hand of murder upset her plans when Sam, a popular employee at the pub, is murdered on his way home from work.

Kat's been involved in several successful murder investigations at her home back in Kansas (her husband is the local District Attorney), and she feels she has to help investigate his murder. And even though she'd promised her husband she wouldn't become involved in any more murder investigations, she can't turn her back on Sam's uncle, the owner of the pub, who has no idea what to do. She can see that he desperately needs her help.

Kat can't get rid of the thought that Bailey, Sam's Belgian Malinois dog, must have known who the murderer was because he didn't try to protect Sam from the killer. After all, he'd come to Sam's rescue before, so why didn't he protect Sam on the night the murder took place? Had he recognized the murderer? Was it someone Sam knew and was on friendly terms with?

Join Kat and her friends as they explore the Northern England countryside while they help the local authorities solve a murder.

THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET WEAPON AGAINST TERROR.

Special Forces soldier Aaron Hardy becomes embroiled in a government conspiracy. On the run, evading the FBI, and those who want him dead, his efforts to uncover the truth catch the President’s eye. And he soon realizes his life will never again be the same.

The President’s Man is an omnibus containing the first 3 novels in the Aaron Hardy Patriotic Action series (The Unsanctioned Patriot, American Influence, and Deadly Assignment) and is a good fit for fans of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, or David Baldacci.

ACTION SNIPPET FROM THE UNSANCTIONED PATRIOT

“Well? Are you going to let me go?”

Hardy relaxed his grip and backed away from her, half-expecting her to mount another assault.

She lowered her arms and straightened her blazer. Maintaining eye contact, she moved to where her gun was lying on the floor.

Hardy flicked his eyes toward the weapon. Moment of truth.

She picked up the weapon and racked the slide to eject the empty case and chamber a new round. She paused to eyeball the man who had taken the Glock from her.

Staring at her, Hardy tipped his head to one side. What’s it going to be, Agent DelaCruz?

After a few seconds, she holstered the weapon.

Inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cruz pointed at the dead man. “Now, tell me what happened here.”

Hardy brushed by her and hurried into the hallway. “Let’s go.”

“I’m not going anywhere until you give me some answers.” She followed him down the hall. “Why did Colonel Ludlum shoot himself? What happened in that SUV? Who are you? What—”

“When we get out of here,” Hardy confronted her, “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. But right now, we really need to—”

A red dot appeared on her groin and moved to her chest.

Charging forward, he tackled her, and they landed behind a leather sofa, Cruz on her back, Hardy on top of her.

“What the—” she pushed on his chest, “get off m—”

The wall behind the sofa disintegrated, sending pieces of wallboard, wood, and dust toward them.

Hardy covered her with his upper body, trapping her hands between their bellies.

Another round of incoming fire strafed the wall.

The couple turned away from the flying debris.

His cheek pressed against hers, he breathed in her scent, his mind probing for the name of her perfume. I’ve smelled that before. I’ll bet it’s—

The gunfire ceased.

Hardy rose to a kneeling position. Straddling Cruz, he twisted his upper body, brought his gun to bear, and fired several rounds toward the front door.

Cruz wiggled out from under him, drew her pistol, and prepared to return fire.

Hardy yanked on her arm and pulled her from behind the sofa. “Follow me.” Coming to the laundry room, “Damn it,” he pointed his weapon. “We’re trapped.”

Cruz followed the SIG’s muzzle and saw three men, dressed in black tactical clothing and carrying MP5 rifles, exiting the woods. “What now?”

Bullets hit the wall opposite her.

She stuck her gun out and fired three rounds at their assailants.

After opening the door that led to the garage, Hardy gestured toward the men at the front door. “Keep them busy. I’m going to circle around from behind.”

CIA assassin Fortune Redding is about to undertake her most difficult mission ever—in Sinful, Louisiana. With a leak at the CIA and a price placed on her head by one of the world's largest arms dealers, Fortune has to go off-grid, but she never expected to be this far out of her element. Posing as a former beauty queen turned librarian in a small bayou town seems worse than death to Fortune, but she's determined to fly below the radar until her boss finds the leak and puts the arms dealer out of play. Unfortunately, she hasn't even unpacked a suitcase before her newly inherited dog digs up a human bone in her backyard.

Thrust into the middle of a bayou murder mystery, Fortune teams up with a couple of seemingly sweet old ladies whose looks completely belie their hold on the little town. To top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions. If she's not careful, this investigation might blow her cover and get her killed. Armed with her considerable skills and a group of elderly ladies the locals dub The Geritol Mafia, Fortune has no choice but to solve the murder before it's too late.

What authors are saying:

"Southern wit at its best!" - NYT Bestselling author Gemma Halliday

"Sinfully funny!" - NYT Bestselling author CC Hunter/Christie Craig

What readers are saying:

“If you like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, you’ll love Miss Fortune.”

“This was a hoot!!! If you like mysteries and Southern eccentrics, this is the book for you. More twists and turns than the Louisiana bayou.”

“It has a flavor of Miss Congeniality, but it is much more than that.”

“I read this book in one night, unable to put it down because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.”

“I’ve rarely thanked writers for the entertainment they provide. Nevertheless, I feel strangely compelled not only to thank this author, but to recommend this book to everybody and anybody – I give it five laugh out loud stars!”

A story of survival and horror, friendship and prejudice, Broken World will take you on an emotional journey that will leave you wanting more!

When a deadly virus sweeps the country, Vivian Thomas sets out for California in hopes of seeing the daughter she gave up for adoption. Then her car breaks down and she’s faced with a choice. Give up, or accept a ride from redneck brothers, Angus and Axl. Vivian knows the offer has more to do with her double D’s than kindness, but she’s prepared to do whatever it takes to reach her daughter.

The virus is spreading, and by the time the group makes it to California, most of the population has been wiped out. When the dead start coming back, Vivian and the others realize that no electricity or running water are the least of their concerns. Now Vivian has to figure out how to be a mother under the most frightening circumstances, cope with Angus’s aggressive mood swings, and sort out her growing attraction to his brooding younger brother, Axl.

While searching for a safe place to go, they pick up a pompous billionaire who may be the answer to all their problems. Trusting him means going into the middle of the Mojave Desert and possibly risking their lives, but with the streets overrun and nowhere else to turn, it seems he might be their only chance for survival.
