Fresh from SpecOps, they're now freelance operatives, working for the highest bidder. Unfortunately, Allison wants out, and she needs Aydin to come with her - to escape to Colorado and the serenity they've always dreamed about. But before they can act, Aydin's reckless past finally catches up with him; assassins determined to settle old scores have abducted Allison.

Growing up in The Program has made Aydin notoriously self-reliant and more than willing to pull the trigger, vowing to find Allison and kill those responsible is easy. Coming full circle with his memories won't be.

From the author of Biomass comes a suspenseful thriller, Shiny Pennies.

Auteur

Fortunately, in secondary school, my interest in reading was sparked. A close friend and an instructor, who took interest in a boy he later called 'The rebel without a clue.,' were instrumental in my learning the value of a good book. Both piqued my interest in reading.

My lifelong friend inspired me to read J.R.R. Tolkien and I became addicted to the fantasy genre. The instructor required I read interesting historical novels for academic credit. Frank Norris, Leon Uris, and Ken Follett are inspirations and fuel my love of history.

Born to a military family, it was logical that I follow the military tradition. However, after four years of "yes sirs" and scraping the wax off floors I decided there must be more fun in a corporate career.

Thirty plus years of work experiences across the globe, the corporate career landed me in Colorado, where I live with my wife and I can be close to my children and grandchildren.
