The Marble Sea
“The Marble Sea got me back to reading”
“This is race against time, where the stakes are high and the villains are untouchables”.
Nora James, a Hollywood film star is abducted from the waters of Venice and transported by tramp steamer to Istanbul and into the hands of her captor. Her husband, Peter Brandt is left to search for her in a world where he is a stranger. We explore the mysteries of the ancient city from its dark streets to its gleaming white palaces where the evil resides.
Scribe
“Scribe pulled me in—and I couldn’t put it down.”
A haunting story unfolds—where fiction bleeds into reality, and the past is far from dead.
When a Hollywood couple retreats to a remote Scottish lake house, they expect peace—but find themselves caught in a chilling web of secrets. As John’s historical novel begins to blur with reality, the line between fiction and fate vanishes. What was meant to be a summer escape becomes a terrifying descent into darkness.
