Closed Doors, a Trilogy features a novella and two short stories.
Toxic Situations, A Novella, is a fast-paced thriller that leads
the reader from Atlanta to Australia on the hunt for stolen
capsules containing a deadly avian flu virus. We follow the
adventures of CDC agent Craig Wells Jr. as he and his partner
travel the globe battling warring organized crime figures that are
determined to sell them to the highest bidder or unleash the deadly
virus. In Family Secrets, the reader is invited to a family
gathering where the stage is set for an unfolding tragedy and the
discovery of the horrid truth about the secrets hidden by seemingly
happy families. In the final story of the trilogy, Thrills at the
Esplanade Cinema, a unique tale unfolds. What begins as an innocent
daily occurrence has the potential to become a life-ending event
that stays with the protagonist.
Noxious substances in the watershed brings a society to its knees;
Fracking by oil companies has taken its toll. Canadian society has
been altered, seemingly irrevocably; water resources have become
scarce and individual freedoms cast off. It is now 2036, only 24
years since the most devastating of a series of international
accords, one simply known as The Agreement, set the precedent for
many that followed - effectively causing the federal government to
collapse into ruin and dependency on corporatist rule. Unrestricted
fracking and irresponsible mining practices have caused major
watersheds and underground streams to become contaminated, the
precious fluid - noxious. The sole purpose of The Coalition, a
regulatory body created by the world-wide conglomerates that took
over the governing of the country is to ensure the profitability of
its corporate members. In Yukon, Canada's far north, a baker's
dozen of unknown, everyday people and one dog are loosely thrown
together in an effort to combat The Coalition and its impact on
Canadian lives and the environment. Join Landon, Nora, Galen and
the others who, through no design of their own, have become the
unknown hope for Canada's future. Will they prevail in the small
jurisdiction they reside in and set the bar for the rest of Canada?
Only time will tell.
Ella McKaye returns home for her grandmother's funeral to find
she's inherited a ton of money and a run down mansion she never
knew existed, called Grey Manor. Her greedy mother is appalled when
the will stipulates specifically that Ella can't give her any of
the inheritance. She quickly throws Ella out of her home forcing
her to take up immediate residence in the spooky old mansion.
Within minutes of entering her new home she has a strange
interaction with a creepy old mirror in the main hallway and the
ghostly inhabitants of the past get more and more agitated the
longer Ella's there. Nearly fatal back to back accidents make Ella
start to wonder if she's angered some ghost or if there is
something more sinister at work. Will Ella unravel the deadly
mystery before she becomes a ghost herself? Or will fate take
another one of the Grey ancestors to the grave.
