The Fox River Incident
The truth was buried. The river remembers.
For decades, the Fox River carried a secret beneath its surface — toxic PCB contamination that devastated ecosystems and communities alike. In The Fox River Incident, that real‑world disaster becomes the catalyst for a gripping fictional thriller where the past refuses to stay submerged.
When long‑hidden evidence resurfaces, it pulls together an unlikely cast: a determined investigator chasing answers, a community still scarred by the contamination, and powerful forces desperate to keep the truth sealed away. As tensions rise and loyalties fracture, each character is forced to confront the consequences of choices made in boardrooms, laboratories, and quiet backrooms where accountability was never meant to reach.
What begins as a search for answers becomes a race against time — and a battle over who gets to control the narrative of a disaster that was never supposed to see daylight. Atmospheric, fast‑paced, and grounded in real events, The Fox River Incident delivers a story where environmental truth collides with human ambition, and where every revelation comes with a cost.

The Colonists
A new world offers hope—until the past crosses the ocean to claim its due.
In the autumn of 1765, Charles Burton and his sister Abby arrive in Yorktown seeking refuge from a shadowy disaster left behind in England. With Sir Malcolm Hurley and the enigmatic Rufus MacKenzie at their side, the siblings hope to rebuild their lives on a tobacco farm near Williamsburg. What they find is a land full of promise—yet fraught with danger.
As Charles and Abby settle into colonial life, new bonds form, old wounds surface, and a devastating barn fire threatens the fragile stability they’ve worked so hard to create. Amid the turmoil, Charles meets Francis Millhouse, a spirited printer’s daughter whose warmth and wit spark a romance that grows into a powerful partnership.
But the past has not released its grip. A sinister force has followed Charles across the Atlantic, waiting for the moment to strike. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Charles and Francis must confront a reckoning that could destroy everything they’ve built.
Set against the backdrop of a nation on the brink of revolution, The Colonists is a sweeping tale of resilience, loyalty, and love. Through fire and betrayal, laughter and loss, the bonds of family and friendship are tested—and sometimes reforged in the flames.
Perfect for readers who love richly drawn historical drama, emotional depth, and characters who fight for hope even when the world turns against them.
