Bonded in Blood

Rowan Walker - young college student and coffee house barista - believes that her twin sister, Eden, has been taken against her will. The Seattle Police - based on evidence to the contrary; as well as the sister's free-wheeling, off-the-rails past lifestyle - believe otherwise. Rowan, however, refuses to let the case (or, for that matter, the SPD) rest and after a solid year of relentless badgering by the young woman a weary, and sympathetic detective gives Rowan an alternative solution.Enter Fallon Wylde, 17th Century pirate turned vampire turned soldier-for-hire. At first, Fallon, too, has his doubts. And there is the unignorable fact that his fee is well beyond the young woman's means. But for reasons he can't immediately comprehend, Fallon feels drawn to her. Out of sympathy or an undeniable sexual attraction. . .he isn't quite sure. But then, during the initial interview, the mention of an all too familiar nightspot sparks his curiosity. And from that point on things start to happen.A very curious home invasion. The out-of-the-blue transformation of harmless next door neighbor to homicidal attacker. Scare tactics that run the gamut from the grotesque to the downright deadly.And with the additional, eventual inclusion of elements which lead back one of most grisly and controversial murders in Seattle's history it soon becomes apparent that the kidnapping of Eden Walker is just the tip of a very large and sinister iceberg.

Prison break! In space! It's been only a few weeks since Zodiac Agents Harry Finn and Ray Slater captured one of the Known's Most Wanted, disrupted two interstellar crime syndicates, and reunited a broken family. For their next act, they are on a mission to exfil a Rasalkan fugitive from Libra Prison Station, which is complicated enough, but when they discover Libra Station is also the center of a dangerous conspiracy, the mission takes on an even greater urgency. Now, with hundreds of lives—including one of their own—in the balance, can Ray, Harry, and Team Gypsy Moth manage to rescue the asset and put an end to the Libra gambit, or will their luck finally run out? The Libra Gambit is the second book of The Zodiac Files, following the Valorious Award winning The Gemini Hustle. Fans of snarky spy-fi will love the continuing adventures of Harry, Ray, and their ever-growing crew of misfits. Praise for The Libra Gambit: "Best of all for me was the extensive character interaction. Five stars all the way!" "It's got everything a really good action adventure sci-fi novel needs." "I highly enjoyed the Libra Gambit. I think shelving it under "galactic thriller" is appropriate."
