A Jake Rivers Adventure #1


This is the story of a very special, extremely sought-after diamond affectionately nicknamed "Nothing." 

And it was missing.

In the beginning, the solution to said disappearance appeared “crystal clear” and relatively simple. In the end, it was perplexingly opaque and almost cost me everything.


"I recommend this book to readers thrilled with suspense and lovers of action-packed series because their urge for action and suspense will be sufficiently satisfied. There are lots of things I enjoyed about this book . . .  and because I found nothing displeasing about this book, I am giving it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars."

A Jake Rivers Adventure #2

He didn't know why he was so nervous. It's not as though he never played in front of a live audience before.

He wouldn't have had any trouble meditating about the forthcoming show if it wasn't for his upset stomach. He thought by this time, it would have gotten better. He reluctantly had to admit to himself that it was actually getting worse. And on top of that, he was beginning to feel lightheaded, and his hands were sweating.

“Oh great,” he said to himself, “that's all I need right now.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: 

they have their exits and their entrances;

 and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."

A Jake Rivers Adventure #4


“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,

 not a creature was stirring . ."

  Well now, that's not quite true, is it?



A Jake Rivers Adventure #5


All she had to do was remember what Tony taught her,

 because if she didn't, the lives of the people that she loved,

 including herself, would be in peril.

This little piggy went to market,

This little piggy stayed home,

This little piggy had roast beef,

 This little piggy had none.

This little piggy went...

Wee, wee, wee,

all the way home!

No one deserves this.

     Even the people who deserve this, 

don't deserve this. 



A Jake Rivers Adventure #8


Multiple murders. Multiple victims.

Multiple perpetrators or serial killer?

Jake was on the job, but was he involved personally?

No hints. No clues. No connections.

One theory.

Life is complicated, 

whether you're an aviator, a student or a mother.

You can't control everything, just ask the police.

And what you don't see coming . . . could kill you.
