‘You need to be less black and white ... see the grey between the two; the smoke that hides the mirrors. This life; this strange, wonderful and frankly incredulous life we lead cannot be so starkly viewed. If you believe in black, then you must, by the very laws of logic, believe in white. However, if you invest your belief in neither absolutes and let yourself consider that which lies between … the shifting shades that cannot be defined, then and only then will you become receptive to the endless possibilities that this life has to offer.’ The tenth book in the Isle of Dreams series sees a return to life in the Valley of the Ri, following the lives of the ever-growing family of De Winters.

Ancient Angels brings together inscriptional, literary, and archaeological evidence for angels (angeloi) in Roman-era religions. The book examines Roman conceptions of angels, angel veneration, and how Christian authorities responded to this potentially heterodox aspect of Roman religion.
This book explores and details the experiences and trials of both the Journalist Romano known here as the First Man Adam and his celestial ancient Persian guide Zarathustra while they travel to the Inferno and Limboland Arenas of the Pre-Historic Paleo Heroes; the Ancient Greek Gods & Goddesses; the Ancient Roman Gods & Goddesses; the Sumerian & Babylonian & Egyptian Gods; the Norse Viking Gods; the Indian Hindoo Vedic Gods; the Chinese Gods & Emperors; the Koreans; the Vietnamese; the Amerikan Experimental; the Cambodian & Laotian Encampments; the Burmese; the Hodgepodge of Nations On The Fringe Desiring Anonymity; the Japanese; the Irish Republican Army & Sinn Fein; the Native Americans; the Incas & Aztecs & Mayas; and Cuba & Nicaragua.
She’s playing with fire, but to win Roman’s heart, she’s willing to take her chances. Time is running out for Trinity Benoit. She must get married to claim her grandfather’s legacy. In her family’s social circle, any man interested in her is only after the inheritance. Not to mention, those men aren’t her type. Always attracted to bad boys, Roman Sanchez steals Trinity’s attention the day she lays eyes on him. Nothing goes to plan when she approaches Roman with her proposal. As the pyrotechnic expert for the Riot MC Biloxi chapter, Roman defends his brotherhood against any threats. He’s no stranger to bar brawls or street fights. Yet, he faces an epic battle against a woman who could send him to prison. To protect himself and his club, he agrees to marry her. It isn’t until after they say, ‘I do,’ that Roman discovers there’s more to his wife than blackmail and extortion. If Roman isn’t careful, he may find himself committed to something bigger (and possibly even better) than the Riot MC brotherhood. Will Roman desert Trinity as soon as he’s fulfilled their bargain? Or will he find himself one of the ‘mighty’ who fall prey to love’s force?
A friend complimented me on my vivid imagination after reading a draft of 'Just Another Day in Paradise'. The truth is that most of the locations really exist and that if you wander the Caribbean you will come across them. Many of the events also happened but some in different times and places and sometimes the characters just took off and did their own thing, ignoring me the way children ignore their parents when immersed in adventures. The Caribbean is where I live and I have kept true to its spirit and it is still wild and eciting. These adventures happen here every day; I know because adventures not disimilar have happened to me or my friends.
