"Memories Die Last" (2002), "Never Trust Your Dreams" (2004),
"The Vendetta Factor" (2006), "Anywhere the Heart Goes" (2009)
"The Sweet Distraction" (2010)


My first three novels are mystery/thrillers set in The Florida Keys and involve Nick Seven,
a former CIA agent who is trying to keep his life free from intrigue. You can imagine that
he doesn't succeed. "Anywhere the Heart Goes," is a contemporary romance told from the
view point of Sam Diamond, a footloose bachelor who isn't looking for love. Guess what he
finds!   "The Sweet Distraction" tells the tale of a down on his luck writer who gets an
offer to write a mob boss' memoir - but watch out for his beautiful, spoiled daughter!  
In "Memories Die Last" former CIA agent
Nick Seven thinks he's found paradise in
the Florida Keys and that his days as a
government hired gun are behind him.
What he doesn't expect is the appearance of
a resurrected terrorist from his past who will
involve him in murder, blackmail,
espionage and high-level government
corruption.  


"Never Trust Your Dreams" finds Nick
being used by the CIA as an unwitting pawn
in America's war on terror, involving him in
a complex maze of treason, assassination
and government corruption.
"The Vendetta Factor"  has Nick taking on
an adversary just as cunning and deadly as
any he's faced  - 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 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.   


"Anywhere the Heart Goes" - Combine one
footloose bachelor with one carefree
divorcee, mix well, serve with a twist and
you have the perfect relationship - until
Cupid crashes the party.

"The Sweet Distraction" - When a  down
and out writer gets an offer to tell a mob
boss' life story, it's the opportunity of a
lifetime - until he meets the Dons'
beautiful daughter.
