The Contention book series is based on the world of horse racing and will intoxicate listeners who love adventure, sport, crime, and mystery. It will even capture lovers of romance. Its a mixture of the TV series Dallas and Yellowstone. Book one, Contention, introduces Logan Weston, a down-on-his-luck Australian racehorse trainer who can't seem to catch a break. Angus Masters, his arrogant training archrival born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has kicked Logan in the guts one too many times.

When billionaire reality TV show king Howard Irwin announces he has cloned 21 of the past century's world champion racehorses and plans to race them against each other in a globally televised reality show, the racing and sporting world go crazy. The clones are now three years old and ready to race to determine who really is the champion of champions. Howard enlists three high-profile racehorse trainers—Logan Weston, Angus Masters, and ex-baseball star and rookie racehorse trainer Lance Holyfield—to put in front of the cameras.

It’s the near future and the world has descended into chaos. On the surface, everything looks the same yet the unthinkable has happened...the dead have risen. Everyone is haunted by a dead relative, friend, spouse, or stranger, and these spirits are unshakable, silent and watching. No one is safe. Governments the world over fail to deal with the epidemic, they begin to lose control of their economies and their resources. Their people. Crime is rife, and murders commonplace.

The Dead Path tells the gripping story of a broken man, Nicholas Close. A terrible accident has left him a widower and awoken in him the ability to see the dead. Now, he can’t escape visions of tortured spirits, their last moments caught in horrible, endlessly replaying loops. Nicholas leaves London and returns to Australia, where he is disturbed to see that a heavily treed tract of land in his childhood suburb has somehow escaped development.
