Where One Ends, The Other Begins

Derrick and Florence Thompson operate The White Horse motel in a sleepy town in 18th century Essex, providing food and sleep for visitors who are willing to pay the right price. One day, a stranger by the name of Oliver Dawkins arrives. And to make matters worse, he knows their secret. Soon, murders start occurring around town, and the more the bodies pile up, the more the two sides begin to clash, with the lives of their neighbours on the line.

Inspired by the likes of H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man and other assortments of classic horror literature such as The War of the Worlds and Dracula, Where One Ends, the Other Begins is filled with pitch-black comedy and murderous thrills to delight the reader with an entertaining and gory romp through a game of cat and mouse that slowly escalates to a public brawl that turns the unassuming town into a chaotic bloodbath.

Whispering Shadows

Money, the need of an estranged parent, paedophiles or trafficking, these are the usual motives for kidnappers. If their plans fail, fear and panic may end in murder.

It is June 1995 in Sydney, Australia. Detective Chief Inspector Martin Janson is investigating a heinous crime: a small boy is missing. It appears random, and motiveless. Janson is frustrated, there are no witnesses and few clues.

A troubled Irishman who is said to have a ‘mysterious gift’ which he uses in the TV show ‘Spirits and Mind-blowing Magic’. His manager, a flamboyant, loud showman; a known paedophile, a children’s entertainer and a Scotsman, are all suspects.

The Irishman, Kieran Madigan, may be a phony, and his ‘mysterious gift’ a nonsense, thought up for the TV show. Barchester, his manager, is a liar and a fraud, but does that make him guilty?

In Melbourne, where two women are found dead, a Scotsman is a major suspect. A Scot was seen near the scene of the crime in Sydney; is there a connection?

Detective Chief Inspector Janson and his team race the clock to solve the mystery and find the murderers before it is too late to save the child.

X Ray Vision

Ray’s small world is about to get a whole lot bigger. With his busy, regimented routines and affinity for drawing, his autism and Tourette's syndrome don’t bother him.

What really starts troubling Ray is what goes on behind closed doors? What hides within four walls? And what lurks beneath the river?

How will he cope seeing things differently?

Zanadu

What do you get when you combine a phonetically spelt outback station, a sarcastic ex-Detective with the last name Standononeleg, a tag-a-long named Duncan and a clapped out old ute?

A Queenslander’s idea of humour, a sheep or two and a kangaroo, too many cups of tea, and a murder most foul (and covered in red dust. Everything is covered in red dust there. Check your grundies).

You will need to read the rest of the story or the author will make me cark it in the next one.
