Moonlit Hideaway: An Outer Banks Romance: Seeking Refuge, Protective Passion, and Simmering Suspense
Pop star sensation, Sierra Rayne had it all—fame, fortune, and millions of adoring fans. But when she is threatened with an arranged marriage to a ruthless mob boss, she escapes incognito to a sleepy Outer Banks island and finds refuge at Moonlit Inn, a charming bed-and-breakfast run by a hunky widower, Hank Whitman, and his high-spirited sixteen-year-old daughter, Emma.
Emma is delighted that her pop star idol lives under her roof, but letting out Sierra’s secret would jeopardize her safety and that of the entire community. Meanwhile, Hank, still nursing his wounds from his loss, is unable to resist Sierra’s energy and resilience.
Sierra falls hard and fast for Hank’s rugged charm and for the first time discovers the warmth of a loving family, sheltered in their island refuge. But when her dangerous past catches up, threatening all Hank holds dear, she must make an impossible choice: save Hank’s loved ones or sacrifice her freedom.
Will the strength of Hank’s love and the courage he finds to open his heart again be enough to shield Sierra from her past and secure their future?

Romance lovers will be drawn to this tale of two lost people who—through struggles of identity, harrowing danger, and the enduring power of family—just may find within each other the safe harbor for which they’ve always longed.

Native Moments
In the tradition of other great ex-patriot stories like The Sun Also Rises or All the Pretty Horses, Native Moments is a coming-of-age adventure set among the lush landscape of Costa Rica. After the death of his brother, Sanch Murray leaves for a surf trip as a way to cope and sets out on a quixotic search for an alternative to the American Dream. Set in 1999 Costa Rica, Sanch and his friend Jake Higdon wander the dirt roads of Tamarindo and surrounding areas chasing waves as a way to live out the romantic fantasy lifestyle of traveling surfers. Jake Higdon, six years Sanch’s senior, takes on the role of the wise leader and Sanch as his young apprentice. Sanch’s adventure leads to encounters with people who share world views he had never considered and could potentially shape his own changing perceptions about life. Through sometimes humorous episodes such as trying his hand as a matador at a road side rodeo or in his not so humorous battle with dysentery, Sanch explores life’s beauty and wonder alongside the darker undercurrents of humanity. Along his journey, Sanch befriends a shamanic traveler named Rob, young revolutionaries from Venezuela, numerous expatriates from around the world trying to escape whatever it is that keeps chasing them and a beautiful local girl named Andrea, who Sanch suspects is a prostitute but can’t help falling for.

The Sleeping Army: The Fading Light Book Five
When Barry and his wife Catherine decide to get out of the city for their Easter holiday, they set their eyes on the village of Sluff. Lying deep within the rural county of Essex, Sluff seemed like the perfect get away for anyone looking to escape the rat race. With its bleached white cottages, and small country church, it is the living embodiment of a quaint English village.
But such places often have long histories behind them, and Barry and Catherine are about to discover that Sluff is no exception. For over a thousand years ago a battle took place upon the hills surrounding the village. Fresh from their victory at Hastings the invading Normans quickly looked to wipe out any Saxon resistance. They showed no mercy to those who would not submit to their will. And it was at Sluff that one such massacre took place. But while Historians recount one version of events from that day, the locals tell of another.
There are stories passed on from one generation to the next that recount how upon the evening after the battle, the dead men had arisen from where they lay, and had taken their revenge upon their murderers who camp below. And to this day those same men still lie below the blood-soaked ground, awaiting the end times when it is said that they will once more rise from their graves, and take back the land that is rightfully theirs. -

Bored to Death in the Baltics
Bored to Death in the Baltics is a comedy thriller, a sequel to A Very Important Teapot, set four months later. Saul Dawson and Lucy Smith, still working for a minor department of MI6, get caught up in the apparent assassination of a foreign scientist working on a top secret project. Meanwhile, a traitor is on the loose within the secret service.
It’s murder, mayhem and mirth. Full of twists, puns and action, it’s so brilliantly constructed that only the comedic genius of Steve Sheppard could have written it.
When a bomb explodes in front of Dawson on a sunny June morning, he is lucky to escape with his life, certainly luckier than the man he is following.
But finding himself a few hours later in the bilges of a ship heading for the eastern Baltic is less fortunate as that is not how he’d planned to spend his weekend.
