THE OPPOSITE OF TRUTH
Imagine that someone you’ve trusted turns out to be an international criminal. And that someone wants you dead when you discover the truth. Now imagine that someone is your wife.
Jacqueline "Jack" Pelletier, a successful LA ad executive, meets Marley Mallon over a Molotov cocktail neither of them ordered. As they heal from this shocking event, they fall in love and marry. But on a business trip to Italy, the full damage from the explosion becomes apparent when Jack suffers a sudden and devastating stroke. She survives, but soon Marley has dropped all pretense of being a loving wife. Their crumbling relationship reveals that Jack is surrounded by a web of deception, the breadth and depth of which she never could have imagined. To make it out alive, she’ll have to best a most dangerous opponent at an explosive game of wits.
THE OPPOSITE OF TRUTH is a twisty domestic/crime thriller about fraud, betrayal, and revenge. At its heart, it is a novel about advertising: about selling a story, whether it is the truth or a fiction, and about shiny, dazzling surfaces and all the dirty secrets they conceal.

THE MACHINE
When private investigator Riley Cole becomes the prime suspect in the execution-style murder of a San Francisco strip club owner, she must clear her name before police uncover the darker truth: she’s been secretly moonlighting as a fixer and killer for her powerful lover, Judge Kurtwood Roth. What begins as a routine inquiry spirals into a conspiracy that stretches from the Tenderloin to Washington, D.C., implicating the highest levels of the judiciary and threatening to blow up Riley’s carefully compartmentalized life.
THE MACHINE is a taut, high-stakes crime thriller featuring a morally ambiguous heroine whose secrets may be deadlier than the crimes she investigates. It's about power and control—who holds it, who yields it, and who pays the price. At its heart, it’s a story about justice versus corruption, and whether individual killings can ever be justified in service of a greater good; and the personal costs of secrecy and dual lives.
