Sea Lavender "Time and memory are inextricably linked, without one there cannot be either."Imagine if it were possible to explore anothers' memory in vivid sense-surround virtual reality…finding and recording, erasing or supplanting life's forgotten recollections. Experimental neuroscientist Doctor Elizabeth's Graham has done just that by developing powerful tools to navigate through distant memories and uncover long lost secrets. Unknown to her, sinister forces are waiting to steal her invention. Will it be used for the good of mankind or a weapon to deploy? Sea Lavender is a tense neuroscience fiction story with pathos humour and spectacle, pushing the boundaries of tomorrows' science today.

After a resounding YES vote Westminster conducts a brutal covert campaign against the newly independent Scotland. As a result the paths of opposing intelligence agents Iona McCallum and Emlyn Llewellyn are resolutely entwined.'What is true and what is real? That which can be verified? Cross-checked? Supported by evidence, perhaps? But verification is dependent on the quality of the verifier. Cross-checking can throw up anomalies. Evidence can be tainted and at the end of the day a high statistical probability of the truth is the best we can offer but it is still...infinitely superior to perception. What we perceive to be true is where we begin, not where we end.' That was how it all started and now here he was in bed with a woman he hardly knew. A woman he loved who didn't love him and in a strange way it didn't seem to matter. He could make her love him…if he knew how.

There are no suspects, no bodies, no motives and no evidence but Detective Harriet Sullivan of the SLCPD is convinced there is a serial killer loose in Salt Lake City. Suspecting is one thing, proving who it is may be even beyond the dogged brilliance of Harriet Sullivan.

A body locked in a car is recovered from Jordan River, Salt Lake City. The find sparks an investigation by homicide Detective Harriet Sullivan that will endanger her life. She is drawn into a web of corrupt police, corporate bosses and US Government officials linked to the trade of rare earth mineral Niobium. Used as a super alloy in aerospace, superconductive applications and next generation computers, it is classified as a critical raw material and the need to secure a supply is becoming imperative. The American administration must choose between unfettered access to Niobium or the rule of law.'Harriet was suspended, floating in darkness not knowing if her eyes were open or closed or even whether she was awake or dreaming. A worm of panic nibbled at her fears for the first time but she easily dismissed them. How long would they keep her here? Would she drown if she fell asleep?'
