Animal Vengeance is an adventure, romance novel of more than 105,000 words.

A beautiful Pacific island aviatrix inherits billions of dollars and Amelia Earhart’s amazingly well preserved airplane. Her half brother attempts to kill her for the inheritance by causing her to crash while she is completing Earhart’s airplane’s last flight.

Tiara finds Earhart’s Lockheed Electra while swimming nude in a hidden lake in a tropical Pacific island rain forest. The lake possesses preservative properties; items in it don’t decay and people who drink it don’t age. A mysterious billionaire, Ford Newman, of unknown age, offers to retrieve the plane from the lake.

Tiara falls in love with Nae, the handsome airplane recovery project manager.

After the plane’s recovery, the lake water’s preservative properties stop working. Ford ages rapidly. On his deathbed Ford tells Tiara she is his illegitimate daughter. Ford leaves Tiara his billions, angering his strange son, Jack, who vows revenge. Tiara’s beloved grandmother, Ileah, disappears and a dead woman is found in her home. Ileah is sought by police for the woman’s murder.

Tiara’s passionate romance with Nae endures dramatic splits followed by passionate rekindling of their love.

After Tiara begins the Electra flight she discovers Jack has stowed away. He tells Tiara he has killed her grandmother and will kill her, making it look like a crash. As her only living blood relative he will inherit the billions. He ties Tiara up and bails out. Jack parachutes into the Pohnpeian rain forest, kills Tiara’s personal assistant and a security guard, and then confronts Nae. Jack shoots Nae and escapes.

Will Tiara be able to untie herself and land the plane? Is Nae dead? What became of Grandmama Ileah?

PERILS OF PAULINE and BARBARELLA meet THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GREY and EMERALD FOREST in this novel of adventure, romance, and murder. A spirited grandmother, an aloof cat, and no limit Texas hold ‘em poker also play key roles.

The Bloody Bed is a Perils of Pauline style crime novel set in environmentally conscious beachfront Florida.

Lizzie first met Clete at night on an isolated beach. Now his nude, bloody, and very dead body is in her bed with his castrated penis wrapped in her tiny bikini bottom and stuffed in his mouth.

Lizzie’s problems are definitely beginning.

Police have to break off questioning Lizzie when a Miami mob attorney she’s never met intervenes on her behalf. The lawyer won’t tell Lizzie who hired him.

Police find more evidence against Lizzie. Her fingerprints are on the murder weapon. Clete’s missing clothes are found fifty miles away in a location just visited by Lizzie.

There are more deaths and more questions, including:

What part does Lizzie’s boyfriend play in all this?

Why does her husband believe he can prove she is innocent?

How long will a Florida panther be allowed to live in the apartment next door to Lizzie’s apartment?

Who is the old man in the woods with the Uzi machine gun?

What does the smuggling of Haitian refugees have to do with all this?

A final question: If all of the above has happened in the first 50 pages of The Bloody Bed, what the heck is going to happen in the next 50 pages or the next 350 pages?

Can you sleep in your own bed until you finish reading The Bloody Bed?

This novel is set in the same area as the novels of Randy Wayne White. But The Bloody Bed features a female lead character who finds herself deeper and deeper in danger. A killer stalks her as the police attempt to arrest her for two murders involving sexual mutilation.
