Author of the Nick Thomas Adventure Series

In Flat Broke in Paradise, Nick Thomas lost his family fortune to his crooked business partner. Nick then used the last of his money to buy a plane ticket to Tahiti where he learned starting over can be a good thing. 

 

In Strange Weather in Chinatown, Nick needs money to repair his live-aboard sailboat in Honolulu. A lunch meeting in Chinatown leads to a lucrative job where he discovers a staff of unqualified misfits, odd investors, offshore bank accounts, art, and gemstones—and himself in danger when he unravels the true aim of the company’s president and CEO.
