BLURB: Roy Walker is curious. But in a world where knowledge has disappeared, curiosity will get you killed.

Generations ago, the Passim Virus wiped out most of humanity. The survivors banded together to form The Territory and, now, decades later, no one questions why knowledge has disappeared. Why should they? They’re lucky to be alive.

But Roy doesn’t feel so lucky. He’s haunted by the murder of his father and he’s ostracized by everyone in town. He asks way too many questions, especially about the water pumped out by the town’s desalination plant.

Then Roy finds a tantalizing clue that leads him down the coast of what used to be the state of Oregon. He’s stunned at what he discovers. Everything in The Territory is a lie and everything around him is a front. But to uncover the dark secret behind this front, Roy must venture deeper into the wilderness where marauders and the deadly Passim Virus wait to kill.

It’s there, outside The Territory, where he discovers the truth about his father’s murder and where he meets his unexpected destiny — To free humanity from the bondage of a powerful enemy.

Cover: “Relative Strangers” by Shirley Heaton

by | Sep 18, 2012 | ,

Author Shirley Heaton had contacted me about redoing the ebook cover for her romance novel, “Relative Strangers” And this is what we came up with.

Look for it on ebook!

BLURB: ‘Momentarily she froze and sent up a silent plea. Please, please don’t let them take my baby!’ The words seared through her mind as the officer approached. He was inches away now. Would he recognise her?

This multi-stranded story of desertion, sexual attraction and biological intrigue touches upon complex and emotive personal issues, and is driven, not by vice and its effects, but by the love that prevails throughout. Lovers of romantic suspense will find a story with a difference in Shirley Heaton’s Relative Strangers.

Unaware of what the future holds, Danielle leaves her home in France to study at Edinburgh University. When she falls ill, tests reveal she has a rare blood type, which no family member can match. In desperation, devoted stepfather, Marcel hires private investigator, Clarisse to help in his urgent mission to find a donor.

Clarisse unlocks the past and unravels secret evidence, exposing the lives of others, including the former lovers of those involved. When Marcel discovers relationships are not what they appear, the ghosts of the past crowd in to haunt him and, with new leads to follow, the hunt against the clock takes them back nineteen years in their intensive search throughout England and Australia.

As Danielle’s background unfolds, she begins to question her true identity. ‘I don’t know who I am anymore, except that I must be somebody nobody wanted.’

He had never thought that he would be would be too late.

By something Henry has likened to a miracle Seth is breathing shallowly, leaving him with decisions to make. Should he try to save him at the risk of making him suffer and get his own hopes up? Or let him go as comfortably as possible? As though time does not put him under enough pressure a young stranger forces him to make decisions that will change the way he has imagined his entire life and of those around him.

Henry must learn to fight his self-doubt long enough to make these choices, using this stranger as a light to shine on what he hopes is the right path… All the while aware that there is still so much he doesn’t know yet…
