Chad Singleton continues his investigation into his father's mysterious death, even as his love life spirals out of control.

Chad Singleton discovered a shocking truth at the conclusion of Eden's Past, and now the revelation threatens to undo everything he's achieved since he returned to his hometown of Eden. His job with rival relatives at Harte Industries, his relationship with his feisty grandmother, and most of all, his steamy, no-holds-barred love affair with the local chief of police, burly Brett Ellers.

But it's the sexy stranger in Eden, William Kelton, who will most affect Chad, the two of them bound by intrigue, betrayal and a mutual attraction. As the mystery deepens surrounding his father's death, Chad buries his wounded heart in Kelt's welcoming arms. But the surprises have only just begun, the biggest of which will forever change his life.

In Eden, even the wealthy - especially the wealthy - have secrets.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

I am pleased to return to print!

After my initial publisher ceased operations, all rights were reverted to me.

Fortunately, I found a new home with JMS Books, and they have reissued all of the Jimmy McSwain Files. The all have new covers: HIDDEN IDENTITY, CRIME WAVE, STAGE FRIGHT, GUARDIAN ANGEL, FOREVER HAUNT, FRESH KILL, and SECOND SHOT.

And finally, this year I finished the eighth book in the series, FALSE JUSTICE, which JMS released this fall, first in eBook, with a paperback edition coming soon.

For fans of the series, I hope you’ll find FALSE JUSTICE a satisfying continuation of the series. For new readers, I recommend that you read the books in order to get the full effect of the ongoing story of Jimmy and all the supporting characters.

Also newly reissued is my “Cane’s Inlet Mystery” series: SCANDLOUS LIES, SINISTER MOTIVES, and SUSPICIOUS TRUTHS. Again, best read in order. Books 1 and 2 end on cliffhangers, with a resolution at the end of Book 3. It’s a good old-fashioned soap opera, with a sexy and mysterious edge.

There are new projects in the works, including a forthcoming novella called COMING/ARRIVAL, featuring Johnny Lee Capstone, of my DUDE RANCH series.

There’s a collaboration with another author, which will feature Jimmy McSwain and another character named Todd Gleason. More info on JERSEY SCORE soon!

Then it’s time to continue writing PERFECT DEATH, the 9^th book in The Jimmy McSwain Files.

Happy reading, and thanks for the continued support.

Summary: Oberon is unique among the Common Worlds - a half-world with a strange past and an uncertain future. Jameson Havercamp and Xander Kinnson are thrust into the middle of a world-ending event and have to scramble to save the world - and themselves. Along the way, they peel back the layers of the onion to discover secrets wrapped in secrets that will eventually take them to where it all started - and may provide the key to saving Oberon and everyone on it. SKYTHANE Jameson Havercamp, a psych from a conservative religious colony, has come to Oberon—unique among the Common Worlds—in search of a rare substance called pith. He’s guided through the wilds on his quest by Xander Kinnson, a handsome, cocky skythane with a troubled past. Neither knows that Oberon is facing imminent destruction. Even as the world starts to fall apart around them, they have no idea what’s coming—or the bond that will develop between them as they race to avert a cataclysm. Together, they will journey to uncover the secrets of this strange and singular world, even as it takes them beyond the bounds of reality itself to discover what truly binds them. LANDER The world needs saving, again. Xander and Jameson thought they’d fulfilled their destiny when they brought the worlds of Oberon and Titania back together, but their short-lived moment of triumph is over. Reunification has thrown the world into chaos. A great storm ravaged Xander's kingdom of Gaelan, leaving the winged skythane people struggling to survive. Their old enemy, Obercorp, is biding its time, waiting to strike. And to the north, a dangerous new adversary gathers strength, while an unexpected ally awaits them. In the midst of it all, Xander’s ex Alix returns, and Xander and Jameson discover that their love for each other may have been drug-induced. Are they truly destined for each other, or is what they feel artificial? And can they face an even greater challenge when their world needs them most? ITHANI Time is running out. After saving the world twice, Xander, Jameson and friends plunge headlong into a new crisis. The ithani―the aliens who broke the world―have reawakened from their hundred millennia-long slumber. When Xander and Jameson disappear in a flash, an already fractured world is thrown into chaos. The ithani plans, laid a hundred thousand years before, are finally coming to pass, and they threaten all life on Erro. Venin and Alix go on a desperate search for their missing and find more than they bargained for. And Quince, Robin and Jessa discover a secret as old as the skythane themselves. Will alien technology, unexpected help from the distant past, destiny and some good old-fashioned firepower be enough to defeat an enemy with the ability to split a world? The final battle of the epic science fiction adventure that began in Skythane will decide the fate of lander and skythane alike. And in the north, the ithani rise….
