The Centurion
A fascinating blend of history and mystery. Set in ancient Rome and Judea during the reign of Tiberius, The Centurion teems with historical figures, including: Pontius Pilate, his wife Procula, and King Herod.

An absorbing story of political intrigue.

Body Traffic
An RCMP Crime Novel Body Traffic deals with the crimes of both human trafficking and organ trafficking. Body Traffic was short-listed for the Margaret
Laurence Award for Fiction!

"... The reader is in for a treat as they are taken on a wild journey between the two lives of Sonja and Stan. The book is fast paced and one that you will thoroughly enjoy. It is highly recommended." -- Nancy Eaton, Mysteries Galore

"... Body Traffic is an intrigue-filled, multi-layered page-turner, one that brings to life an underworld where innocent and naive young women from Eastern Europe are forced into prostitution rings in North America." -- Marc Horton, The Edmonton Journal

Body Traffic: short-listed for the Margaret Laurence Book Award

Thanks for your encouraging words regarding my new children's book.

In reference to your book, "The Bully", I used to be bullied as a child until I started fighting back. The bad thing was, the more kids I beat up, the more wanted to challenge me. I'm sure you recommend a better solution.

Your credentials are impressive. And since I'm a Historical Novel reading buff, I certainly want to read The Centurion.
All the best with your work.
