The Seven trilogy (THE SEVEN, SHADOWS, and SECRETS) is a cross-genre thriller involving kidnapping, murder, and UFO conspiracies right out of today's headlines. The central theme weaving through the books is that the government, instead of trying to cover up what it knows about UFOs and aliens, is in fact covering up what it doesn't know.

The main character is Bill Sanders, a best-selling author who tries to help an old friend and gets pulled into a tangled web of murder, UFOs, and a plot to overthrow the U.S. government. From Europe to New Mexico to the White House, the action is nonstop. Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and through other major booksellers.
