The Forgotten Road
Jake Clarke is 16 years old and all alone in the rugged Northern Manitoba wilderness after his mother and grandfather die, and his father goes missing while trying to find help. Jake must struggle against starvation, weather and inexperience to survive a trek back to civilization, where getting back becomes just the beginning of his journey.
This novel of approximately 84,500 words was written in 2008-2009. I am currently searching for both an agent and a publisher.
Nowhere Home
Jake Clarke has returned to his home town, but it is not the home he expected to find. Jake struggles to adapt to his new life and new surroundings, finding friendship and love in the remnants of a post-apocalyptic society. But the call of the road is strong, and Jake must choose between staying and being safe, or begining the search for the lost members of his family.
This novel of approximately 67,600 words was written in 2009. It is currently being reviewed by friends and family, and undergoing final edits. It should be completed early in 2010.
Forever Home (Working Title)
The third book of the Jake Clarke series is currently in the planning phase. Work will begin in early 2010.
To Cage the Eagle
When Jason McAlpine, a university student living in Toronto, becomes embroiled in an international plot to steal the plans for a new, deadly air-to-air missile, he soon discovers that what he knows could either kill him, or prevent World War III.
This novel was written in 1993-1994, and is approximately 160000 words. It is currently being re-edited and will soon be distributed to family and friends for review. I'm not sure whether or not I will ever publish this, but if I do, it will probably be via Self-Publishing, unless people really like it. It's got some holes in the plot now since the book is 16 years old, and will take a lot of work and research to make relevant once again.
