home   Denver Sinclair's Story:
 

My current project is a series of novels featuring Denver Sinclair.The first novel, Dead Man’s Hand, is set during the events of the Great San Francisco Earthquake in 1906.

Denver is a gambler, a conman and a thief. He’s also a vampire, owned by the most powerful Dragon Lady in all of San Francisco. Lady Xue Ying uses him to keep the law out of her opium smuggling business. On the morning of the Great San Francisco Earthquake, Denver is forced to scramble for safety as the brothel his girlfriend works in comes down around their ears. With the US Army blowing up buildings around them, and packs of flesh-hungry ghouls dogging their every step, Denver races the firestorm tearing through the ruined city.

There is one bright spot. If he’s lucky Xue Ying, might have been killed in the Earthquake. Denver hopes so anyhow. If she catches him trying to escape the city without her, he’ll wish he had let the fire have him. Denver's never been lucky, though, and this time maybe he's drawn the dead man’s hand.

Dean Man's Hand is currently in submission to many agents, and I hope to have good news to post here soon.

The sequel is set during the 1920s in Hollywood.

      Dawson's Law:
 
Jack Dawson's a powerful lawyer in San Diego with an eye on a senate seat. He's married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. He's rich. He's got a bitching car. But Jack's not a happy guy. He's trying to kill his wife, and she just won't stay dead..
 

Too bad he doesn't know that Layne's a demon, and that prenup he signed gave her daddy his soul.
 

Excerpt: Dawson's Law

When you’re rich, good looking and influential jail comes in two flavors. There’s the first class treatment where they take you to an interrogation room, and let you wait there for your attorney or family to come get you. They send junior officers to bring you hot coffee, bottled water and snacks. They’ll go out of their way to make sure the media never finds out you make a little mistake. Your records might not even make it into the permanent system.

Then there’s the next level. It’s not business class, hell it’s not even coach. It’s more like being duct taped to the underside of the wings while the plane flies low over a cesspool. Every time you take a breath it smells like shit, and you have to pick bugs out of your teeth.

Guess where CHP put me?

I'm currently working on revisions to Dawson's Law. It's a long way from being queried, but it will hopefully be ready by the summer of 09.
