The Bug Hunter by Ken Davenport
About The Bug Hunter by Ken Davenport
Terrorists have turned nature itself into a devastating weapon. And only one man can stop it.
The year is 2026 and up and down the Eastern seaboard of the United States a virulent toxin is killing people. What was initially believed to be food poisoning turns out to be a terrorist attack using genetically modified insects to poison the American food supply. For Gabriel Marx, news of the poisoning is eerily familiar. A Marine Corps veteran and trained viticulturist, Gabriel is now working as a vintner at Landmark Estates Winery in California, but was once part of a secret CIA effort to use insect vectors to destroy the Afghan Taliban’s poppy industry. He’s long feared that genetically synthesized toxins delivered by insects could be used as a terror weapon.
One day a stream of black SUVs carrying the Secretary of Homeland Security shows up at the vineyard, and Gabriel is recruited to help the government respond to the attack. He is drawn into a complex web of rogue scientists with links to ISIS and Chechen terrorists, and discovers that an even more devastating attack is imminent.
Merging cutting-edge synthetic biology with global politics and international terrorism, The Bug Hunter is both thriller and cautionary tale of how advances in technology can be used to turn nature itself into a devastating weapon.

Author Bio:
I have written five horror novels since 2013. With each new book I have attempted to take a traditional theme of horror. And give it a twist. My first novel was a haunted house story and then it was mutants and then zombies with my most recent novel being a vampire story. I’ve always tried to give my readers something that they haven’t seen before.
I have loved horror since I was a small child it gives me great joy to be able to bring these stories to you.

Romancing the Crime
“Compares favorably to Harlan Coben.” Amazon Reviewer
“A fast-paced book that kept me wound up tighter than a drum all the way through.” Amazon Reviewer
“As a die-hard detective fiction reader, I think this is an incredible first book in this genre. The plot is well thought-out and presented. The characters are very well written, and the villain is as attractive as Milton’s Satan! I flew through this novel, and I can’t wait for the next Cory Marin to appear. This is great summer reading, though you may be so involved with the book that you get a sunburn!” Amazon Reviewer
“Warning: don’t start reading the last hundred pages of this book as you get in bed on a work night! You think you know the characters, but they become so much more nuanced and complex. You think you have a handle on all the clues, but you don’t really. You think you know where the plot is headed, but uh oh, you don’t. This is what good mystery writing is all about.” Amazon Reviewer
Sgt. Cory Marin, head of homicide, has her hands full. Not everyone on her squad is happy she’s in charge, she’s still dealing with the break up of her marriage, and wealthy residents are up in arms over the murder of a young professor in broad daylight in Ravine Creek, a proposed city park where she jogs every day. Cory is convinced that what appears to be a random robbery gone wrong is premeditated murder. Her job is complicated by the appearance of Fletcher Manning, a bestselling novelist who shadows her as research for a female detective novel he is writing. She has her guard up, but as she gets to know him, she softens and begins to fall for him.

Unbound: Unsent Messages and Other Missives to the Narcissistic Lover It Took Me Too Long to Leave
About Unbound: Unsent Messages and Other Missives to the Narcissistic Lover It Took Me Too Long to Leave
Feeling her first taste of freedom after ending her fifteen-year marriage, forty-something Katharine Kane does what so many single women in her shoes do—she starts online dating. What starts off as a few months of carefree fun takes an unexpected turn when she uncovers a new element of her sexuality.
In her desire to explore this new discovery, she answers a personal ad from a man who turns out to be a skillful liar and charming narcissist. She knows he’s hiding something yet she’s still irresistibly pulled in and reluctantly accepts his promise to “tell her everything” once his son leaves for college.
What follows is a two-year, sexually risque and intense emotional relationship that ends with an ultimatum—and then discovery. Through journal entries, text messages, unpublished letters and Craigslist Missed Connections, Katharine shares intimate details of the relationship, her many attempts to break free of his hold on her and ultimately her journey to narcissistic abuse recovery.
FROM UNBOUND: UNSENT MESSAGES AND OTHER MISSIVES TO THE NARCISSISTIC LOVER IT TOOK ME TOO LONG TO LEAVE
“We are not all weak. In fact, we are unbelievably strong. This is especially true of those who choose to leave narcissistic abuse, because we are fighting some of the most complex and difficult battles, often warring not only with our abuser but with our own rational and emotional thoughts.”
“I sought to leave my narcissist many, many times. Despite rationally understanding that how he treated me wasn’t right and despite rationally wanting to leave him, I still couldn’t break that bond.”
