My debut novel, Blood Money centers on the exploits of Mark Matthews, a private investigator turned FBI agent. In Blood Money Mark helps topple an association funneling money to terrorist organizations. Blood Money was published as an ebook in November, 2011.

Fatal Dose, the second Mark Matthews Mystery exposes a drug mafia distributing counterfeit prescription drugs.

Mysterious Forces is a multi-genre work about how Archetypes and Basic Instincts control our lives. Steeped in Jungian Metaphysics, it tells the story of three generations of the Hampton family, living, unknowingly, under the influence of the Archetype Perfidia.

Everyman, Revisited, my  latest novel takes narrative license from a fifteenth century allegorical morality play and Philip Roth’s modern day adaptation, both simply called Everyman. In Everyman, Revisited, the protagonist is portrayed by Reverend Aaron Masters, minister of the New Thought Metaphysical Center. The novel is not about “new thought” per se; rather about new ways of thinking. Everyman, Revisited is as provocative as it is inspirational. It is written under the pen name Michael St. James.

I have epublished several short stories at Nights and Weekends, Writing Raw and Long Story Short.
