Fate forces them to join forces, neither one anticipating the attraction that ensues. But just as Cole thinks he is close to finding all the answers, both personal and professional, Laurie disappears. Review: Deadly Obsession is a taut, gripping, fast-paced story of murder and madness. The tension mounts page after page, until the chilling and terrifying conclusion. The plot flows seamlessly and leaves the reader guessing as to who, and what the killer is until the very end. The characters are well defined and realistic, from the bitter, angry homicide detective to the chilling portrayal of a soul lost to madness. The dialogue is crisp, and direct, moving the story forward smoothly. While this is a suspense novel, there is also the underlying romance between Laurie and Cole, which is done so well, it blends into the main story flawlessly. Deadly Obsession is an intense story best read with all the lights on. I highly recommend this well-written novel to those who enjoy a murder mystery with enough suspense to keep them on the edge of their seat. Terrie Figueroa for Romance Connections

The Blake Soul is a gripping, emotional love story which violently collides with family feuds, guilt, betrayal and revenge. Interview with the Author Q – What is the idea behind the Blake series? A – The Blake books are supernatural thrillers with a dash of romance. I try to mould that moral fibre inside the heart of all my novels: -The sanctity of human life is highlighted in The Blake Soul -The susceptible young mind lost to alcohol and drugs features in The Blake Curse -The detrimental effect of childhood psychological trauma is depicted in The Blake Mistake. -The Blake Legacy: A Fracture in Time deals with peer pressure, intimidation and that desperate search for an exquisite type of pure love, a love untainted by monetary gains or sexual intentions, a love for the sake of love itself. I try to raise awareness...whether I succeed to do this in all my novels remains debatable, I guess, but the intention is there. Q - What order should I read the books in? A – Each book in the Blake series could be read as a stand-alone. Chronologically they run in the following sequence: - The Blake Soul - The Blake Curse - The Blake Mistake - The Blake Legacy: A Fracture in Time Q - What else have you written? A - Week of Lies is a revenge thriller and romance set in London and it spans a fateful week of lies and deceit.
