I recently finished work on my first novel, CACHE OF THE JAGUAR. It is a modern day fast moving, action-adventure-thriller story that takes place deep in the Amazon rainforest. A second novel, tentatively titled JESUIT GOLD, is currently in work.

At an estate sale, Brad, an aimless college dropout, stumbles upon a mysterious travel chest that belonged to the sole survivor of an expedition into the Amazon basin. Brad’s good friend Jon helps him untangle the chest’s secrets, leading to a hunt for ruins and treasure, for Brad and friends, Jon, Cia, Elisa, and Jason, deep in a remote corner of the Brazilian rainforest.

The team must work together to survive hardships and calamities while following clues that take them into unexplored, restricted regions of Amazonia. Their early misfortunes pale when they come face-to-face with hostile warriors from an uncontacted, Indigenous tribe whose terror tactics and cannibalism have always protected their forest’s secrets.

The group aids and befriends a young native girl along their journey who will prove instrumental in their quest and ultimate survival.
