Once a cop, now a private eye. Once human, now a cyborg. Dalton Steel had scraped a living investigating the things that were beneath the cops he used to work with. Except those cases that involved bots. Until a beautiful woman, a beautiful bot created to mimic a beautiful woman to perfection, hands him the case of a serial bot killer. The investigation takes him from deepest, darkest pits, to the gleaming, cleanest Sectors of the Tether, where Dalton finds himself involved in a conspiracy that could cost the lives of thousands, millions of humans. Walking a fine line between the human and bot worlds, Dalton must face his own humanity and mortality to bring a genius killer to justice.

A week at the beach could kill you. Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae's stay in Ocean City for the annual Maryland bar association convention becomes a busman's holiday when her best friend Jamila is arrested for murder. All signs point to a frame, but Jamila's local counsel advises her to plea bargain. This would permanently stain the ambitious attorney's spotless record, unless Sam and a private investigator can find evidence to clear her. Sam has her work cut out for her, since the victim is the stepson of a local wealthy entrepreneur and poultry producer and no one will talk to her, including the lawyer's investigator. Even Jamila seems to be withholding information. Meanwhile, Sam's running from mysterious pursuers and comes under police scrutiny when another murder takes place. With the clock ticking down to the convention and preliminary hearing, Sam must uncover secrets, lies, and fraud to find the real killer. At what cost will that knowledge come for Sam? - We Will Begin Again Complete

This is a story I wrote for my company's annual Writing contest. I was somewhat limited by the 4,500 word limit, so it ends with a bit of an anticlimax. I wrote it more to work on a character that I wanted to develop. I'm planning to write more Jason Hawke stories in the future. - The Vapors Complete

Homicide desk reporter Bobby Knight knows there's a story, but what that story is he can't figure out. When you got five people dead in the same area, all looking like the same cause within five days, then there's a story. When the area is a grave yard, that makes it sound like it might be a good story. But when the apparent cause of death is -- nothing -- it makes the story hard to tell. - Scappatoia Legale Complete

Un dialogo tra un ergastolano e il suo avvocato in un futuro prossimo venturo, in cui il protagonista (il criminale) apprende che forse ci sta una remota possibilità di essere scarcerato... ma con un prezzo. Come la maggior parte dei miei racconti, questo titolo inizia a un certo punto e termina a un certo punto. Non ha un inizio stabilito o una fine, consideratelo come una sorta di esperimento. Magari se a qualche lettore piace, potrei completarlo in seguito, chi sa! Non conosco bene la classificazione di Watttpad, ma il racconto non è violento, sanguinario o altro; essendo ambientato in un penitenziario americano ha un linguaggio un pò... colorito, per fare più scena. Buona lettura! - Halfway to Hell Ongoing
