About me:
Heart of Diamonds has just been released! As one Amazon reviewer said, it's a romantic thriller with “...enough sometimes-bloody action and intense suspense to please the most demanding thriller addict.”

Sparks were struck at Kunati Books by my new novel, Heart of Diamonds, a thriller that is now available at bookstores everywhere. In Heart of Diamonds, star TV reporter Valerie Grey risks her life--and her love--to expose a diamond smuggling scheme involving a celebrity televangelist, an African dictator, and possibly the White House. It happens while she's on assignment in the Congo, where life itself is brutal and the censuring eyes of civilization have long been blinded.

HUNTING ELF

If you're into dogs and the funny things they do, check out www.huntingelf.com. It's my first novel, the story of a rascal of a Silky Terrier, his accidental owners, and a bunch of nefarious dog-nappers.

Did you know you can download the audio version of Hunting Elf to your iPod at the iTunes store? It's free! If you are iPod-less, you can listen online, too at www.huntingelf.com. or, if you like your entertainment in written words you can read with your eyes and enjoy with your imagination, you can buy Hunting Elf at your favorite bookseller or direct from the publisher Lulu.com.

Keep your eyes out for my YA fantasy novel, Paraworld Zero. It hit the BarnesAndNoble.com bestseller list and placed in several contests. Reviewers are calling it a "Harry Potter meets Star Wars!"

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your interest in my book. It's a story that melds Native American ways with the shamanic traditions of Old Europe and Tibet. The drama involves medicine workers grappling against alien spirits in the realm of altered states consciousness.

Some people reach out to the mystical.
And sometimes it’s the mystical that reaches out and pulls people in.

CALL OF THE FORBIDDEN WAY

“A wonderful thriller from the world of shamanism and sacred plants.”
Luis Eduardo Luna Ph.D
Author of Vegetalismo
