The Dreaming Tree

“​Everybody wants to live forever, but some people shouldn't live at all.....


After a near-fatal car crash, Royce Lowell-Vandeweghe wakes up to find he's one of the first patients to undergo a radical new procedure: a full-body transplant. Convalescing years later and suffering from waking nightmares, he answers the door at his Long Island home and meets Delta Devlin, a New York detective. She sees things nobody else can - visions created by a mutation to her eyes - and meeting Royce sets off an unraveling chain of events....


Royce becomes Devlin's prime suspect in a string of grisly murders. Desperate for answers, he tracks down the grieving widow of the man whose body he now inhabits. Out of time, and perhaps his mind, they spiral into a world of black-market body parts and billionaires where nothing can stand in the way of living forever - not even death itself."

New Earth Series

nomad

Nomad – New Earth Book 1

“SOMETHING MASSIVE IS COMING, and it’s heading for Earth. That’s what astronomer Ben Rollins is told by NASA after being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night. His first instinct is to call his daughter, Jessica, who’s vacationing in Italy with his wife.


“It’s a hundred times bigger than the sun,” Ben tells them. “Somehow we can’t see it yet, and we don’t know what it is, but they’re calling it Nomad — and in just months, the Earth may be destroyed.”


But how did they miss detecting it until now? 


The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches, and Ben discovers his wife and daughter are trapped in Europe. 


The key to Nomad’s mystery — and humanity’s ultimate survival — rests in the answers Ben pieces together from his old Cold War-era research papers, in the midst of a desperate scramble across continents to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet."

Jessica Rollins survived, hidden away in a mountaintop in Italy, and has made radio contact with other survivor groups scattered around the wrecked globe–but the destruction is only just beginning. 


The key to humanity’s survival may lie in a backpack she recovered from her father, in the data he collected more than thirty years before as Harvard’s preeminent astrophysicist. Information he died trying to protect.

His final words to her circle around and around in her head…survive, no matter what. 


But at what cost? And what is…Sanctuary?"
