Corporate espionage can be a cutthroat business. But when the world’s two most successful weapons developers both gain access to an alien lifeform, the rivalry becomes deadly on a global scale.
Grayson Mitchell, a contract killer with a conscience, is looking to get out of the assassination game for good. When Elizabeth Duncott, the CEO of an experimental weapons manufacturer, offers him a lucrative contract to find her missing husband, Frederick, Grayson agrees to turn detective with his sights set on an early retirement.
Elizabeth’s niece, Charlotte Bruce, is an accomplished wildlife biologist content to spend her days shadowing a wolf pack. But when she learns of Frederick’s disappearance, she agrees to return to society and help Grayson, for the sake of her uncle.
But Grayson and Charlotte quickly become something they’ve never been before: prey.
Using their combined skills, the unlikely duo confronts dangerous rivals as they race to solve the mystery of Frederick’s disappearance before the sinister truth of Project NEMISYS destroys much more than Grayson’s retirement plans.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Although the storyline evolved over the ridiculously-long amount of time it took me to complete NEMISYS, it started as (and remains) a cautionary tale about the dangers of excess. As you'll see in the story, too much curiosity, too much greed, too much power, or even too much grief can lead someone down a dark path, often with disastrous, albeit sometimes unintended, consequences. Each of the main characters grapple with, and sometimes succumb to, an excess of something. Some of these excesses are by accident while others are actually sought out. But regardless, when the results of those excesses mix, we get explosive results (and hopefully a compelling storyline as well!)
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As with nearly every character I've ever created, there are elements of truth and bits of myself sprinkled into each of them. I also keep a virtual notebook with me at all times to document situations, phrases, events, etc. that I think are worthy of use. I squirrel them all away and when I am creating a character profile, I like to peruse these random bits to help me flesh out a character's idiosyncrasies. These unique little traits are what make characters more believable.
