A DEADLY ART
Short story in The Red Light System series Takes place thirty-years before the events of book 2
Dueling’s illegal on Jack’s home world of Ha’Rayma. He has to cross swords with his opponents in back rooms, paying off corrupt lawmen. But maybe not for much longer. Jack’s talent has caught the eye of a scout from Theia. The deadly art is legal on Theia. Big business. The scout promises to make him a star. The only problem is, Jack’s in debt to a ruthless gangster. And he’s not going to let Jack leave without paying up.
COLONIZER
Book one in The Red Light System series Two planets orbit the same red star… Theia And Ha’Rayma
It was only a matter of time until one civilization ventured into space… And now, beings separated by millions of kilometers… connected by a common extra-solar ancestor… are about to meet for the first time… When Conquest-3 lands on Ha’Rayma, it’s the first time a Theian has stepped foot on the planet next door. Imon Doer is one of twenty prisoners brought to the New World. He and the other convicts are to serve as cup bearers for the colonists. Their job: To taste test which plants and animals will nourish you…and which will kill you.
Imon’s an innocent man, a pawn of the System. He joins forces with a hitman and a serial killer in a desperate attempt to escape, clashing with foodborne parasites, an egomaniacal captain, and the three-meter-tall beings that dwell in the Red Forest.
DUELLUM
Book two in the Red Light System series
Although it takes place more than 200 years after the events of book one, I promise, at the end of Duellum, you’ll be reunited with beloved characters from Colonizer once again…
Life for a journalist on Theia can be hazardous.
Criticize on the wrong party—daggertooth poachers, slavers, the Crown—and it could cost you your life. So when award winning journalist Alizia Rhodace hears about Lyra’s story, she assumes it won’t ruffle any feathers. Lyra’s mother, step-father and brothers disappeared on a camping trip. The police say the troubled teen killed them and buried the bodies. Lyra says that extra-solar beings abducted them, and took of in a space ship.
Alizia teams up with her estranged father, worlds famous duelist and lothario, Jack Moxam, uncovering a secret that could mean extinction for those that dwell in the Red Light System.

NOCTURNAL INK
A supernatural thriller.
Craig’s wife and girls are missing. There’s blood in the bedroom. The garage. CCTV footage of Craig loading heavy items into his truck at 5am. Irrefutable proof. He did something to his girls. But when Office Leonard Jones talks to Craig, he denies it, claiming he doesn’t remember, before committing suicide in his cell… As the search for Craig’s wife and girls drags on, Leonard’s partner convinces the divorced, broken-hearted cop to go out on a date. After too many cocktails, Leonard winds up at a tattoo parlor, a new one that just opened up in town. He gets inked. A phoenix. The next day he’s not hungover. In fact, he’s feeling better than ever. Lost eight pounds. Hairline growing back. Stronger than he’s ever felt before. His hearing and eyesight have improved to the point of being superhuman.
And…did the tattoo move?
As Leonard’s wondering what’s happening to himself, he finds out that he wasn’t the only one that got a tattoo recently.
Craig got one too.
Right before his family disappeared. Now Leonard’s wondering: What’s in the ink?
Don’t take our word for it
In The Name of the Rose, Eco denies Foucaultist power relations; in The Aesthetics of Thomas Aquinas, however, he analyses textual subsemantic theory. Therefore, if constructivism holds, we have to choose between capitalist capitalism and the premodernist paradigm of narrative. 1. The dialectic paradigm of Foucaultist power relations.
