Madness

2018

FACT: There's a real-life parasite that rewires mammals brains for extreme aggressive behavior… Over half of all the world's mammals are already infected, but aren't symptomatic because the parasite remains dormant in most hosts. Like a ticking bomb, this puppet master is patiently waiting for the right time to set off its hosts against the world. That time is now! A canceled flight due to a volcanic eruption and a violent animal attack at their port, almost cause Ted and TJ to miss their transatlantic cruise and a needed escape from their busy lives in the US. But there will be no peace or tranquility on this cruise as something is very wrong: animals have started to attack for no apparent reason. It will take Ted and TJ’s unique skills to not only survive their cruise, but to understand an apocalypse of madness which appears to have struck the whole world. With mammals outnumbering humans 10,000 to 1, is this the end? - - - - Early Reviews - - - “A fresh, unique, and exhilarating twist to the horror genre, but must warn readers that once they've picked the book up, they'll be hard pressed to set it back down.

Parasitic

2018

It wasn’t just the animals… People were going mad too. Passengers and crew of the transatlantic cruise ship, Intrepid had hoped the threat of animal attacks and volcanic catastrophes had passed, and that their world of luxury and normalcy would return. Ted and TJ just wanted to relax, after helping the ship’s crew and guests avert disaster. But something far worse loomed ahead of them and their ship. The disease they feared, now affects humans. Without warning, the person you love could become a beast dead-set upon your violent murder. No one is safe! There’s nowhere to hide! And if your loved-one has become parasitic, there’s only one thing you can do… Run! - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Apocalyptic Horror Trilogy, known as the MADNESS Chronicles: MADNESS: MADNESS Chronicles I (June 1st) PARASITIC: MADNESS Chronicles II (June 30th) SYMPTOMATIC: MADNESS Chronicles III (August 30th)

Madness spread world-wide and there's no stopping it. If you're symptomatic, you may go mad next! Their cruise ship, Intrepid is running on fumes. There's only one place they can reach with the fuel they need. But the costs maybe too high. And they better hurry, because when they run out, they’ll have no way to control the parasitics onboard, who are desperately driven to kill.

Hello lovers of apocalyptic thrillers! I devour the same books I enjoy writing: science fiction, set in an apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic or dystopian world. I love stories about regular people being thrust into extra ordinary circumstances, and having to rely on their own cunning and that of others to survive. And I love a twist at the end. My just released Ashfall Apocalypse, as well as previous series Madness, Highway and Stone Age are those kind of stories. They're fast moving, have some regular (and amazing) characters who must make life changing decisions, all while the world is experiencing an apocalypse. Besides writing, my wife and I travel the world (often to research the next book). But often you can find me on a beach, Kindle in hand, with my Toes in the Water (name of my publishing company).
