Until He Killed Her
Mrs. Crosby was always Mickey’s favourite teacher, from the time he met her in grade four until he killed her in grade eight. Twenty years later, the crime returns to haunt the residents of Port Huntington, a small Ontario town on Georgian Bay. Two women in their late-twenties publicly accuse Al Dougal, a former teacher, of raping them when they were fifteen years old. Now a vice-principal at Port Huntington High School, he is killed shortly thereafter by an unknown assailant. The murder seems somehow tied to the long-ago death of Mrs. Crosby. School principal Maggie Keiller, and her husband, former principal and superintendent Derek Sloan, face a rapidly-escalating crisis when other deaths follow. Drawn inexorably into the investigation of both mysteries, they discover they, too, are at risk as they seek to uncover the truth.

Fate Decided
Frank Marsh now lives in Washington, D.C. He is forced to bear the cross for a program he inflicted on an unsuspecting but willing world population. Dr. Frank Marsh is the original bleeding heart, conscientious social worker, and all the other labels that described a person with a never-ending desire to solve the world’s problems. As he reviews the past twenty years, it is hard to sort the realities from the dreams and still maintain his sanity. Here in the nation’s capital, Frank is trapped as the consultant to something that has changed the world in a direction that can never be reversed. He has affected the past, present, and future; and in so doing, surfaced a retribution that he could never have imagined.
Gabriel's Promise
A perfect storm materializes when Patrick Bouchard, an underwater welder at the San Pedro, California shipyard, loses his child to cancer. Driven by grief and rage, he sets out to make those that he feels are responsible pay, specifically Standard Pharmaceutical, the megacorporation owning the HMO that denied treatment to his stage 4 terminal son. That wasn't right, and someone had to be held accountable. They would pay alright, but not in blood. That would be too easy and serve no purpose. He's lost his son, his heart, and his faith; he could not get much lower. But from such depths, treasures are found, and in that abyss of human suffering, Patrick devises a scheme to keep his promise to his son, Gabriel, to fight until the end. He would make sure that no child would be written off to satisfy a corporate bottom line. The Jack of Broken Hearts was about to introduce himself to Sanford Peck and his Standard Pharmaceutical empire.
