Welcome
Immerse yourself in a world frozen in time
This richly-textured, historically-accurate adventure illuminates a lesser-known front of the Second World War: Portugal’s precarious neutrality and its shadow world of spies, refugees, and religious tensions.
Suzanne Paleczny, the artist from Whitehorse who created the new cover, described the novel as “a wonderful tale of historical fiction.”
“The overall effect is excellent” wrote Mark Skalin of Oshawa.
Matthew Hurst of Barrie summed it up as “more Graham Greene than James Bond, but more charm and warmth than either of them.”
Comments such as these Make My Day!
As an indie author, I have researched and written three books. This year, I expanded distribution and marketing, and now I’m reaching out to find new readers. If you enjoyed reading my books, please share them with your friends.
Once I complete the current marketing phase, I aim to finish two sequels to Breath of the Adamastor. I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
