Excitement and Sensuality
"Countermeasure: Bytes of Life adds an exciting extra dimension to the mainstream novels a bit like the deleted scenes or extras on a DVD. For me, it was like watching your favorite characters from a T.V show once the cameras have moved away for another scene – an almost illicit, forbidden glimpse at what goes on when no one else is supposed to be looking!" -- Mark Woods, TBR Pile
A Combination of Genres
"If you are looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you feel a part of the action this is a must read. It is beautifully written with the perfect mixture of action and suspense and in the midst of all that there is a beautiful emotional love story entwined." -- Rhayne Risque, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Passionate Characters
"Their love is extremely 3-D, you almost forget they are characters in a book, and that is exactly the way it should be." Maria Prieto -- The Oracle Reviews

Breaking news!
Brick Shop Audiobooks, the production company handling both Countermeasure and To Russia with Love, has accepted to produce our short stories in the Bytes of Life Series. Those who have already listened to Countermeasure in audio have given us fantastic feedback and we do agree that Tim Gerard Reynolds's voice and accent is perfect for the story, most specifically, for his ability to switch accents and the natural Irish lilt.
We approached Brick Shop Audiobooks about the short stories and they have accepted our projects. We are thrilled to have Tim narrate them as well and maintain the consistency in the series. The first two titles are Uncharted and Ecstasy by the Sea. Two more will be submitted in the next month or so. We'll update everybody on the production as we go.
Sláinte!
It's release day!
Lost to Rapture is already available on KOBO and it's slowly making its way through all channels. It should be available on Amazon and B&N later today. We'll update the book's page with the direct links as we have them.
