Master of the game!!

The stars have atlast shone down on this great writer, one of my favourites the guy who brought us Ashely Patterson,Tracey Whitney,Dana Evans,Lara Cameroon,Commander Bellamy and many more,most of his readers were women. Asked why this was the case he said: "I like to write about women who are talented and capable, but most important, retain their femininity. Women have tremendous power — their femininity, because men can't do without it."

My favourite novels of the author are as follows
Tell me your Dreams
If tomorrow comes
Are you afraid of the dark?
Master of the game
The Doomsday conspiracy
