"Memories Die Last" (2002), "Never Trust Your Dreams" (2004),
"The Vendetta Factor" (2006)
My books are mystery/thrillers set in the Florida Keys, involving Nick Seven, a former CIA agent
trying to get away from his past and live an idyllic life in paradise with Felicia, his dream lover from
Barbados. In each story, though, Nick learns the hard way that just when he thought it was safe to
look over his shoulder, something else from his past pops up to cause trouble.    
The Plot Thickens...
In "Memories Die Last" Nick Seven thinks
he's found his concept of paradise in the Florida
Keys and that his days as a hired gun for the
CIA are behind him, buried alongside a painful
memory of a personal tragedy.  What he doesn't
expect is the sudden appearance of a resurrected
terrorist from his past who would involve him
in murder, blackmail, espionage and high-level
government corruption.  


"Never Trust Your Dreams" finds Nick and
Felicia being used by the CIA as unwitting
pawns in America's war on terror, involving
them in a complex maze of treason,
assassination and government corruption.
"The Vendetta Factor," my newest thriller,
has Nick taking on an adversary just as cunning
and deadly as any of the terrorists he fought
while in the CIA - the Mafia.  Nick gets dragged
into a turf war between two rival families, each
fighting for control of the lucrative Miami,
Florida market.  Nick must call on his instincts
to outwit both Dons, as well as a Federal
prosecutor with a personal agenda.  When Nick
becomes the target of a hired assassin, he
realizes that he has his own vendetta and thirst
for revenge.
