Caught between ruthless blackmailers and love, she eventually outwits her pursuers to lead Allan to Crete, where together they battle against time to discover a hidden secret. Adolf Hitler's right-hand man, Martin Bormann, struggles to keep up with the shocking events that are unfolding within the magnificent splendor of a 16th-century German chateau.

Hitler and his inner circle plot to ensure, untold wealth is hidden in the deep waters close to the Falkland Islands; treasure ready to be collected at a time when the master race will emerge to take control of the world's finances without a shot being fired. Hideous experiments by the enigmatic Dr. Muller, on disposable human subjects, appear to have assured way for the Nazi hierarchy to escape into the future. RECYCLED LIVES, a novel about love, trust, and betrayal.

After self-publishing 7 1/2 QT, which received great reviews. Then winning a short story competition in the UK with my story 'Experiences Shared', I decided it was time to think global. So following the new trends of 'digital' and 'print on demand' I picked Amazon. The driving force for that, I had 10 new stories that needed to see the light of day. So, 8 1/2 QT brings more intriguing, thought probing, enjoyable entertainment. The good news for those who are following closely, Yes, Audrey will return in Book 3 in another 'Country Tale'. Also 'Sadistic Pleasure' could run much further. So for the moment, I do hope you enjoy the ride.
