About the author

I’m an engineer but I’m also creative. I’ve designed and built one-of-a-kind systems for entertainment and theme parks for a long time. I’ve always had an overriding passion for writing, especially suspense thrillers. Before publishing my first novel, I wrote a dozen live stunt show scripts, created concepts for scores of theme park rides and attractions, and authored hundreds of winning project proposals, most of which I’ve built and installed all around the world. For example, one highly successful project seen by billions of people around the world was the Olympic Cauldron Flame for the 2006 games in Torino, Italy. Chances are, if you’ve been to a theme park in the USA, Asia, Europe or England, you’ve enjoyed an amazing attraction I’ve helped to create.
Defenseless is the first of three novels with the sequel, Merciless, in the works. I live with my family in Orlando, Florida.

Reviews

[Erik Empson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fast-paced action thriller that is a standalone sequel to the author's first book, DEFENSELESS.
Mark Stone has tracked down his wife's killers, but only served to seriously aggravate the main man behind them. Now, with his friend dead, he must look to unlikely quarters for help to get justice.

[Matt Lenz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Merciless is the blockbuster sequel to Defenseless and it solves most of the loose ends with action and suspense, but raised a few more. In Defenseless, Mark Stone lost his wife in a break in and tries to track down the killers, and his efforts lead into Merciless where one of the conspirators kills his friend, Tony. Now, Stone pushes against all odds to find Tony's killer and gain justice for his wife. Non-stop action and danger. Highly recommended

[S.A. Krishnan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The mystery is perfect and the reader is always unsure as to what the protagonist is going to do next or where it is going to land him. Thrilling read.
