Proximity is the first book in a "genre-bending, fast-paced" young adult science fiction & fantasy series:She’s an alien whose home world doesn’t even know she exists.He just inherited a planet, and now he’s running from it.She has spent a lifetime hiding in plain sight.He wants to escape the spotlight.Her touch can heal.His wounds are deep.Two hearts, two planets collide. It’s the perfect union.Except the part where the world’s about to end.

In the foothills of the desert mountains west of Smoke Tree, someone has murdered Caleb and Eunice Clovis. They were impoverished squatters living a life of bare subsistence far off the beaten track in a miserable lean-to made of discarded lumber and cast off building materials. Who would want to kill them? And why? There seems to be no motive for the crime.Lieutenant Carlos Caballo, known throughout the Lower Colorado River Basin simply as “Horse,” is charged with solving the crime. A crime that might not have been discovered for months or even years except for a minor twist of fate.As the commander of the Smoke Tree Substation of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Horse has other issues to deal with at the same time. A town divided by Highway 66 into haves and have-nots where prejudice and anger simmer just beneath the surface; a corrupt and incompetent local police department; small town politics; cattle rusting in the river bottom north of Smoke Tree; and the possibility his best young deputy is about to request a transfer.With the help of his friend Chemehuevi Joe, a mysterious, self-sufficient, and deadly Native American, Horse sets off on the trail of a killer who is not done killing in this fourth book of the Smoke Tree Series.

No matter the planet, Palta Capal is an alien. She’s lived a lifetime where she never belonged…but relocating to the “home world” she’s never seen has her feeling more like an outsider than ever.Teetering between the thrill of newfound love and the despair of family loss—not to mention the looming threat of global war—Palta doesn’t need any more excitement in her life. But what she needs and what she gets are two entirely different things.

Palta learned long ago not to expect a “normal” life. She’d settle for one free of close encounters with supernaturally-gifted homicidal maniacs.Apparently that’s too much to ask.Join your favorite Onontian royal family, as they settle into life at the palace...only don’t get too comfortable, because things are about to take a hair-raising turn.Vitality is the gripping third installment in the Proximity series.

"This book has it all!": Riveting action, gripping suspense, mystery, fantasy, a fiery-yet-awkward heroine, a darn-near-perfect guy, and a unique paranormal twist. Seventeen-year-old Layla McKelland isn't human...but you could have fooled her.What starts as a routine day at the beach leaves Layla questioning whether she's read one too many paranormal fantasy novels. The plot thickens when a random guy claims to know things about her missing father--a bizarre claim he backs up with an equally impossible stunt--and Layla soon finds herself on the wrong side of a mysterious attempted drowning...on her own kitchen floor.When all is done, Layla will attest that fact is far stranger than fiction. And nothing in real life is ever as transparent as it seems. Not even water.Especially not water.
