Quiet War

Fragile peace. Murder at the heart of an empire.

Deputy Trevor Stallion survived an interstellar war, found love, a good job, and a chance to overcome a tarnished family legacy. For what? To pass down a crippling genetic disease to his little girl, to see his wife turn to another man, to almost lose the only job that ever mattered.

At 35, the so-called “Forever Deputy’ tries to salvage his crumbling life aboard the massive Amity Station, heart of the forty-world People’s Collectorate. This three-sector city in space houses the Interstellar Congress and leads the way in scientific and technological advances. Built in the wake of war to unify humanity, Amity Station provides a beacon of hope as dark tidings spread across the galaxy.

When a school-age resident with a brilliant mind dies from an overdose of the deadly drug Motif, which is ravaging member worlds, Trevor and his reluctant partner investigate. The mystery sends Trevor into dangerous territory which may unearth a presence no one on Amity foresaw.

Will Trevor bend his principles in search of the truth, all while dealing with his beloved daughter’s struggling health, his brother’s wayward behavior, and the resistance of his superiors? How will fate steal his joy this time? And is anyone on Amity safe?

Quiet War is the opening stanza in the five-book series of an empire on the brink, threatened by rising enemies – seen and unseen. Fans of Babylon 5 and anyone who loves solving a mystery will be captivated by this series.


Quiet War is part of the epic 29-book Collectorate saga.

The Houseboat Detective

A good detective has an analytic mind, loves to solve puzzles, is driven to know the answers – oh, and he might play piano.

Twenty-something Jake Sommers lives in a houseboat moored at Fisherman’s Wharf, a picturesque set of docks bordering the Inner Harbour of Victoria, BC. Jake inherited his craft, the Honeysuckle Rose, from his late Great-aunt Dierdre, once a successful artist and sixties flower child. Jake’s a bit of a lost soul, who plays piano in a bar, loves the jazz music of the 1920s and ’30s, and has a tendency to drink too much.

When a beautiful woman shows up at his floating home mistakenly believing Jake is a qualified and experienced private investigator, and begging to hire him for a case, the little voice in Jake’s head tells him he should turn down the offer.

Too bad he never listens to his little voice.

He expects his ‘investigation’ to be a straightforward search for a young woman on the Internet. But both his client and her case turn out to be far more than he bargained for, and he’s unwittingly plunged into a convoluted world of DNA ancestry, danger, intrigue, and murder.
