A Dangerous Garden

A thrilling suspense novel about growing marijuana in the rural mountains of interior British Columbia.

Daniel is a farmer. His most important crops are his illegal plantations of marijuana he tends along with two partners, Brian and Tommy. Their lives are a daily struggle with fears of discovery by the police or their informants. As their crops mature, and the value of the plants multiplies, so does their paranoia. Along comes a former friend of Daniel's, Cheyenne, with a mysterious agenda that only serves to intensify Daniel's unease. Marijuana dominates Daniel's existence, its illegal nature beginning to overwhelm any of the joy the drug once afforded him. He reaches a point in his life where he must choose between continuing as he was or altering his life and becoming someone new. Will he survive the pitfalls inherent in his chosen lifestyle? This rural valley and its inhabitants are a piece of authentic B.C. life most of us have heard about but few of us have been able to actually see up close and dirty. Enter the world of the marijuana cultivator here.

The Castle

A gripping saga about a medieval world that combines myth and history set in a fanciful land called Scotia.

Duke Brian rules his Castle on beautiful Loch Dornoch with his lovely wife Margaret. The inhabitants of the Castle are abruptly thrust into a bitter war against their southern neighbours, the English and their dreaded enemies of past centuries, the Vikings. Winter falls to blanket the Duchy in the deepest snows of living memory. Matters progressively get worse as news arrives of the capture of the southern provinces of Scotia and their capital, Edinburgh. The Duke must inspire his people to maintain hope and plan for their eventual triumph. Heroes among the noble and the humble alike sparkle in this story of one people's struggle against war, fear and suspicion. Politics battle with love, clan loyalties struggle against the greater good of the nation. All must sacrifice or lose their lives, or their precious freedom. Duke Brian inspires and leads through it all. The Castle lives and breathes in this fanciful and heroic imaginary world.
