Raincloud: Poverty. Drug Addiction. Desperation. Violence. Almost routine for the First Nations Canadians of Sky Lake. But when Jimmy Raincloud falls to a serial killer that is leaving a trail of bodies outside the tiny village, the animosity that exists between it and the white population of nearby Scanlon Creek threatens to escalate to terrifying proportions. Hank Gillespie, a nightmare-ridden, mixed race detective from Scanlon Creek, must save his own life as he penetrates the violent criminal underworld of police corruption, drug dealing, and depravity in an effort to find the murderer.

 
The Orphans of the Creek: A small-town DJ suffers a devastating emotional trauma and begins to see the world in a whole new light. He then embarks on a destructive path towards redemption, destroying all that made him what he was in an effort to be reborn. Note: This title is currently in editing.
