The Valedictorian

An image of a book cover with a person behind frosted glass. The text says "The Valedictorian."

High school was child's play for Arthur Wilberforce Cardel. But now the valedictorian is back home after his first term at Queens, and something is terribly wrong. Once perceived as destined for great things, he's now inexplicably sullen. His parents are frantic. Why won't he talk to them?

Not Proven

At thirty-five, Channing Hart was starting to reap the rewards of hard work and sound investing. He revelled in sitting around the big table at Clancy's Tavern. Talk radio without the microphones. The last place you could mouth off without being scolded.

Mystics

A book cover with a swirl of blue and red. In the bottom right corner there is a bee.

Trouble is coming to the boil. The son of wealthy and ruthless populist politicians poses as an alcoholic to gain entry to Punanai House in this third book of the series. Lou Canon is a psychic catalyst. A lighting rod for unfocused supernatural energy.
