'You will love him, hate him, pity him, and fear him. His birth was prophesied by an ancient order who worshipped the Earth Goddess, Gaia, five hundred years in advance of his incarnation. Their descendents, a coven of witches based near the legendary Stonehenge, seek to guide him on the path of the wise, but first they have to find him. He was raised by a mother who cursed his existence, and he was empowered by magick. He dreamed of restoring the natural balance of Mother Earth and populating the planet with his magickal spawn. He was a genius, a lover of all that was beautiful, and as "Professor Midnight" he became one of the most revered "magicians" (wizards) of all time. This is the haunting tale of his heritage, his childhood, and his odyssey into witchcraft and the sciences. Enter, if you dare, the world of Professor Midnight'.

1 y separately published work icon Land of the Free Lynn Santer , Burleigh Heads : Zeus Publications , 2003 Z1848745 2003 single work novel 'When wildlife conservationist, Charlene Tynsworth, flighty socialite, Paula Gooding, and Hollywood legend, Joan Taylor, join forces with Vernon O'Brien (a jaded soldier of fortune) they put everything on the line to expose brutal atrocities against endangered big game by some of the wealthiest men on earth. Posing as a hunter, Vernon must ingratiate himself with Laurie Watson (a sadistic 'safari' operator) in order to obtain covert footage of the operation. Charlene provides behind the scenes intel, risking her own life to end the destruction. While Vernon is in communications blackout, back home Paula's activities to raise funds for the cause come under an unwelcome spotlight. Suddenly she is fighting for her own life when a disgruntled employee frames her for embezzlement. She consoles herself in the knowledge that once the footage is released her name will be cleared, and she and Vernon can be together. But having fallen under Charlene's spell, Vernon stretches his stay in Africa to try and melt her hard exterior - in doing so revealing the true nature of his mission. Fired with determination to keep their dirty little secrets under wraps, and fuelled by the political and financial muscle behind the hunts, Laurie and his private army launch a deadly attack against Vernon and Charlene before the crucial evidence can be returned.'

Following a trail of money from Zurich to Lisbon they inadvertently discover a plan to commit genocide by stealth.

On the surface it all seems perfectly legitimate, with an effective façade of researching genetic engineering of food crops.

Finding themselves embroiled with Mossad, secret societies and global politics, Sandra and James are thrown into the middle of a conspiracy that could change the balance of power in the world. The consequences of Heinrich's research are so chilling, and so entirely possible, that the final revelation will leave you gasping for breath asking yourself, "Could it really happen?" Could it?'

1 y separately published work icon Sins of Life Lynn Santer , Burleigh Heads : Zeus Publications , 2000 Z1848721 2000 single work novel crime 'Lynn Santer's... novel exposes a hitherto undisclosed true-life shocking skeleton of the life insurance industry. Decades ago international law was changed to prevent parents purchasing a life insurance policy on a child because of the volume of infanticide (child murders) committed during times of depression to reap financial gain. In this close-to-the-bone fictional thriller, Lynn explores the rise to fame and fortune of a life insurance salesman who helped perpetuate the sales of these policies. Now a respected member of the community and worshipped by his son, Nick Abbott's sins come back to haunt him when the source of his success is revealed in the guilt-ridden confession of a dying man. Eager to keep skeletons of the past buried, the insurance industry closes ranks around Nick, while his son, James, and a woman both father and son would possess, Sandra, join forces to beat the master at his own game... a game where life is only measured in dollar terms.'
