I've always enjoyed reading spy and crime novels and experiencing the ethical dilemmas encountered by the lead characters. Some of my favorite authors include Franklin W. Dixon, Elmore Leonard, and Len Deighton. My recent novels explore the conflicts confronted by so many as they face the issues threatening their security on a daily basis. Wendy's Sleeper Cell and Relics of the Covenant expose a dangerous mole within Homeland Security, Xavier DuBois, who exploits his position of trust to enhance his personal gain while covertly advancing his own ideological allegiances. Can he be stopped? Evelyn Schwinn, a co-worker, has begun to suspect Xavier's loyalties and will make it her purpose, in the developing series, to neutralize Xavier and the threat he poses.Will she succeed? It is my hope that readers become captivated by the pursuit. Enjoy the ride!
