Lasseter's Truth
Jack Johnson is both lucky and unlucky. He survives the Vietnam war as a decorated helicopter pilot, marries the girl he left behind, and lands on his feet at Australia’s leading advertising agency, as a launch pad to spectacular success in the industry. Lucky, you might say.
But luck can change. Jack is hit with a bogus criminal charge that chases him into the Great Australian Desert, in a quest for Lasseter’s fabled gold reef.
But Jack is not the only one looking. A mysterious Chinese company called Triple Eight is buying up leases in the desert, and people are dying.
Back home, he leaves not only a heartbroken wife but a beautiful and very determined daughter who has had her own problems. Expelled from Australia’s most prestigious public school, Tess Johnson vows to clear her father’s name.
Lasseter’s Truth follows them both as they take on the odds. A story that ranges from the greed of the nineties, into a famous legend of Australia’s outback, with a compelling climax for our own time.

Karma
It began with a single crime, under the canopy of the giant redwoods of California. He committed that crime. He never took responsibility for any of it. Everything was always someone else’s fault, especially hers. He would get her; he would punish her. For him it became an obsession. He had no other life to lead.
It began with a single crime. She was the victim. She would not let the crime define her. She had a life to lead. She would lead it to the full.
From California to Cambridge, England, Robert built the downward spiral of his existence, and his darkness closed in on him.
From California to Cambridge, England, Martha lived life to the full, building an upward spiral from which joy and friendship spread out.
Bad karma, good karma.
Which will prove the stronger?
