Officer Monique “Moni” Williams,
has never lived an easy life—with an abusive ex-con father, a two-timing,
pistol-wielding ex-boyfriend and a racist boss—it’s hard to see how things
could possibly get more difficult for her. After she meets a child that she
bonds with, Moni must protect the girl from a mysterious threat stalking
everyone near the Indian River Lagoon.

 

A serial killer is on the loose on
Florida’s Space Coast, and Moni has been put in charge of the key witness in
the biggest case of her life: an eight-year-old girl called Mariella. The child
has gone mute after losing both her parents one harrowing night. Now, Moni
struggles to protect the child and break her silence, while more reports of
inexplicable deaths and
animals with eerie purple eyes
pile up. Her bond with the child is tested by a police force demanding answers.
What does the lagoon’s rotten stench have to do with a mute little girl? Can
Moni save Mariella from what lurks along the water? Who is really facing the
most danger? Find out in this suspenseful, page-turner that will keep you
guessing until the very end.

friends, and the foundation for a successful life. But he still wanted more
than just success in business, and craved the love of a woman and a family of

her even knowing that doing so makes him a target.

GEN-OPS

 

Genetic manipulation and enhancement becomes the key to evolution
being worked on by scientists from around the world who are privy to a
discovery found in the heart of a catastrophic storm that devastated Earth.
With the research conducted, test subjects show augmentation in all facets of
being, from physical fitness to prowess to acuity. Beyond the obvious evolution
to the test subjects, the discovery also led to vast scientific, medical, and
militaristic breakthroughs that normally would have taken generations to
achieve. But not all of the scientists on the project were willing to work in
secrecy and with no personal gain. A handful of the lead scientists contacted
foreign powers and agreed to sell the technology to the highest bidders as long
as they were extracted.

 

Logan Stone, Captain of Shadow Recon was deployed to the secret
underground facility that had been breached. Arriving too late, he and his team
only found more questions than answers. Before they could discover what was
really going on, they were pulled out by a classified military unit and ordered
back to base.

 

Twenty years later, Stone had little care for what he had stumbled
upon that night or for his life as a black-ops military leader at all. After
losing his wife, Stone’s sole priority was raising his daughter and giving her
a good and happy life. But no matter how hard he tried to keep her safe,
circumstances keep trying to draw him back into a world where violence, mayhem,
and plausible deniability dominate his every thought.

 

The technology is out there, the secret of the GENs is on the open
market, and the government agency that had been tasked with recovering the
technology or destroying all evidence of its existence has been targeted for
assassination. Former Shadow Recon team member Alexander Hodge, the current
United States President, reaches out to Stone to request aid. Reluctantly, Stone
is drawn back into the fold, but not before he is provided a personal guarantee
by the President to let him do things his way and with no oversight.

 

It is a race as Stone and his team fights to keep the true secret
of the discovery from coming out and recover that which had been stolen.
Gen-Ops combines military, espionage, intrigue, and strong character
development in a fast-paced and dangerous not-too-distant future world where
the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
