Crystal Coffin - Fiction based on a number of facts, Rated M+ (for mature readers aged 13yrs to adult)
Set in East Timor, Sydney and my sleepy home town in South East Queensland, it's a blockbuster style tale of greed, fear and murder. Currently with an award winning producer for development for the big screen.

Sequel coming next - A secret organisation for world peace figures out how to "acquire" over $750 billion from international crime cartels - right under the noses of the American Pacific Fleet - and put an end to terrorist funding. America saves the world? I don't think so. This time it's an Aussie who provides the key...
