Intimate Bondage
Published by BelleBooks
Intimate Bondage is an erotic thriller which allows access to the taboo world of S & M, internet porn and who is actually participating— regular men and women, politicians, entertainers, and even those we trust with the safety and welfare of our children.
What if the person you fell in love with was a serial killer? Kate Dawson, a homicide detective with a past, faces that chilling possibility as she penetrates the seedy underworld of porn shops, internet sex sites, and S&M clubs to catch her man.

Architects of Armageddon Reviews
Someone has a fetish for world destruction…
Inspector Kate Dawson is called to investigate a mass murder; a call that will change her life, and possibly the whole world—forever.
Certain parents have been directed to put their children to death. They believe they are the Chosen Ones, destined by God to inherit the Earth. The charismatic leader of End Times Ministries, whose grand plan includes stoking the fires of Armageddon, has ordered parishioners to close ranks and prepare for a holy war.
Kate Dawson knows this is not God’s will, but that of a dangerous, diabolical mind that controls the lives of his people. “They plan to start a war!”
“Nearly a million people live in the San Francisco Bay area,” Senator Santiago said.
“That’s a lot of lives that would be lost, but nowhere near the hundreds of millions of lives lost in a global war, and the starvation, and sickness, and disease that follows.”
“So, you’re saying, the Doomsday clock is ticking?” Kate asked, already sensing the answer.
“It’s five minutes to midnight . . .”
Kate would have been the first one to confess that she didn’t know a whole lot about politics and religion—but she did know there was a group of fanatics out there who were determined to move the hands of the clock closer to midnight, and it was her duty to stop them.
“I’ve started reading, and it grabs you right out of the gate…”

Murder on Air Force One

Murder on Air Force One Reviews
When Inspector Kate Dawson is called in the wee hours of the morning, little did she know what would be waiting for her on the tarmac of San Francisco International Airport. Air Force One has landed with a corpse in the lavatory—Mrs. President and the First Man were on board with a slew of reporters and other presidential personnel. It seems someone enjoyed kinky foreplay, like having their oxygen supply limited, a gasper. It just went too far…or did someone finish her off?
International politics, conspiracies, affairs, cover-ups, and all involving the First Family…
Terror at G-20
Published by Open Road Integrated Media
From what begins as the simple murder of a sex worker, Kate Dawson follows the clues to human trafficking and ultimately the Asian sex trade. Then, set against the back-drop of the G-20 Summit in San Francisco, Dawson struggles to stop a North Korean General’s master plan of bringing about economic chaos in the West by preventing five Asian women, each implanted with a deadly toxin, from destroying the world’s leaders and economists.

Merchants of Death audio version
When a San Francisco BART subway car arrives at its destination, with twenty-four passengers all dead, Kate Dawson must find out what killed them and who is responsible for their deaths. Her investigation takes her from the treacherous back streets of Chinatown to a luxurious Chateau nestled in the Northern California hills, and from a lavish horse race track to a perilous underground lair. She is pitted against a young rival who covets her job, a twisted but wealthy brother and sister duo who deal in illegal arms and drugs, and a deadly group of U.S. Army deserters, known as Task Force Red. Dawson is in a race against time, winding through the streets of San Francisco, to a finish line that is potentially out of reach.

Who has not heard the words, “Bond, James Bond” or “Martini, shaken, not stirred”? Most of world knows of James Bond and/or has seen one or all of his movies. Some of us are addicted; men mimic him and women dream of being a ‘Bond girl’. From Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, each one has given us thrills and glimpses of the secret world of spies. Saving us all from certain doom dished-out by fiends such as Blofeld or Goldfinger, and just recently Silva, Bond risks all and still gets the girl(s). We line-up at the theaters to see him larger-than-life, hanging on his every word and gesture.
In this ‘honorarium of Bond’, Flynn and Blackwood have revealed all the nuances of each movie, character, automobile and Q gadget from Dr. No to Skyfall. The ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ are fascinating.
John L. Flynn, Ph.D. and Bob Blackwood, Ph.D. have done years of research (enjoying every millisecond) on James Bond, 007. They claim the title as how they have lived their lives, asking themselves, “What would Bond do in this situation?” Both have decades of literary and publishing experience and vast knowledge of the cinema.
