After finishing school, he joined the Australian Army and served his country overseas as a qualified infantry soldier – an experience that sparked in him an unrelenting desire for adventure. But when he leaves the army Luke finds himself broke and adrift in London, caught up in the soulless world of drug and alcohol addiction. When he wakes up in a police cell with no memory of how he got there, he knows he has hit rock bottom, and makes the snap decision to turn his life around. Within days he is in Thailand, training his mind and body at a Muay Thai boxing camp in the jungles of Phuket. In suffering Luke finds his salvation, and he decides to make the most out of life by seeking adventure in remote corners of the world. Since then Luke has climbed the highest mountains on six continents, set a new world record for ocean rowing across the Atlantic, battled -60 degree temperatures in the Antarctic, witnessed death at high altitude, was held captive in the humid jungles of West Papua and has thrown himself from cliffs in the adrenalin-fueled world of BASE jumping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Suzanne rescues a handsome stranger from the ocean, she has no idea that she’s found a man from another era—who is also the love of her life. Suzanne McDermott is a strong, modern woman. She’s fully prepared to face the world after her spoiled, philandering husband leaves her. But, as she awaits the arrival of her new baby, Fate brings her another unexpected guest…a guest from the past. The last thing Charles Garrity remembers was being shot and falling into the ocean off the New Jersey shore. That was in 1926. Now, he’s being dragged into the present day—literally dragged out of the water by Suzanne. How he got here is a mystery. It’s a mystery Charles doesn’t have time for, because right now the beautiful, pregnant woman in front of him is starting labor. Can Charles overcome the differences between the past he knew and the wonders of the present? Can Suzanne put her life and finances in order in the face of a petty, trust fund husband? And, most importantly, can Charles move past his old-fashioned pride before it gets in the way of the love growing between them? In HERE AND NOW, Constance O’Day-Flannery, the original “Queen of Time Travel Romance,” crafts a beautiful story of souls reaching across time to find a love everlasting.

Hope the next one is soon." - tm via Amazon review In 41 hours, the world as we know it will end! Like it has done every twenty-six millennia, the magnetic field of the earth is about to be short-circuited by a series of massive solar storms, which will destroy our modern technological society virtually overnight. It will take the planet two centuries before the natural protective magnetic field will build back up to full strength. While it is weakened, the surface of the earth will be scorched by the sun and daylight will become dangerous to all life. The first wave of storms and destruction has already begun, but the only people who have the means to help, aren’t aware of the impending disaster. And the only clue to when the disaster will occur is a mysterious clear rock locked in a black plastic case. New characters and fresh dangers arrive building the mystery and intrigue; all while the deadline approaches and the world unknowingly counts down to its doom. THE HOLE IN THE MAGIC SHIELD continues with the unforgettable story and extraordinary characters from THE GOD IN THE CLEAR ROCK. Filled with more epic adventure, mystery, high-tech, science, and intrigue than the first fast-paced thriller, the story starts exactly where the last one stopped. Over the following 9 hours, out of only 41 hours left in the world, intertwined wheels of action and new people are set in motion. MAGIC SHIELD blends the counting-by-hour style of the TV drama ‘24’ with the intensely complex larger-than-life characters and adventure driven plots of Clive Cussler in a page-turner that’s guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. As the intricate story begins to twist and turn, fans will relish the cliffhanger maddening mystery and be left scrambling to pick up book three. ~97k words
