Hi there,

Here is a free preview of my new book, No Good Deed, which is available now as an e-book on Amazon. It’s a thriller and love story and it’s set in Central African Republic.

Here’s the blurb: Elodie Harptree comes to war-torn Central African Republic on a mission: she will do good, help former child soldiers and prove that she is not afraid to live and love. Doctor PJ Wilcox dismisses her as a naïve tourist but he can’t help feeling protective towards the new arrival. One day, Elodie meets 14-year-old Aristide Yambissi, who was forced to fight with a militia after his village was attacked, and she resolves to save him from the streets and from his demons. But her blind inexperience and her relationship with a French mercenary with dubious connections will endanger them all, raising the question of whether anyone can ever save anyone else.

This book has been a long time in the making, and it has a special place in my heart. It was inspired by a 2016 trip I made to Central African Republic and by the people I met there. Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to spend a while with Elodie, PJ and Aristide.
