Bend Oregon Author Book face Confessions of A Corporate Spy

NSA Operative Dragos has blown a mission and lies in a Tunisian hospital awaiting certain death, when two men offer him a new life working in Corporate Black Ops. He accepts and sets off into a strange world where creativity is key, Co-Operatives are bizarre, guns are frowned upon, and weaponry consists of martial arts moves and a device known as a spinal separator. At first he finds the work thrilling and exotic, but soon discovers that this form of espionage is far more dangerous than the one he left behind.

This is a spy novel with a bit more flair than the average pulp stuff. The plot is a little less cheesy (a little), the characters are over the top, and there is a bit of surrealism mixed in with my tendency towards neo-realism. It can be challenging for the reader who doesn’t read to be challenged. I wrote it to feed my childhood love of Ludlumesque spy fare, but since I love being challenged when I read, I bumped up the intellectualism a few notches. I just thought someone could write a spy novel that wasn’t (quite) so dumb. This is my best seller on Amazon and other websites, but is not for the light hearted reader. Great for fans of Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon, Reservoir Dogs, and the like.

Bend Oregon Author Book face Home On The Strange

 Terry and Jeff Winslow moved to small town Nevada for a break from the city. But, Silver Peak, Nevada is not your usual small town. Jeff, a veterinarian, is now the town doctor. The Mayor is named Zeus, disdains clothing, and lives in a copper tower. The local meeting place is a brothel. The most prominent citizen is a coffee drinking burro owned by a prospector. But even stranger is the object this scraggly pair finds in the desert after a monsoon. Just what is “Whateverthehellitis”, and how is it related to the strange denizens of Silver Peak?

This one is a great choice for people who just like fun reading. It is an homage to the area where I grew up in Southern Nevada, and is wacky, loose, and really enjoyable. It is always tops among my regular readers. The best choice for female readers.

~ X Incorporated- my first novel completed as an adult, it was a long, strange tale of young college students who figured out how to beat the system with a systematic and organized criminal enterprise consisting of coordinated shoplifting, low grade drug sales, and a unified group ethic. But what happens when their hippie ethics are trodden upon by the existing criminal underworld? And what about that big heist- what did they use for weapons? Featuring titles of and inspired by the great Grunge songs of the nineties, and showcasing one hell of an alternative lifestyle.
