In the lush, primeval wilds along the Choctawhatchee River, even the stillness has depth. Those who venture in might believe they are unseen, but nature has many eyes and all trespassers invite risk.
 JANE PATE, raggle-taggle photographer, writer, and reptile collector, considers the remote areas of nature her personal stomping grounds. The risk fits her as comfortably as her garfish-and-guava-seeds existence. It is only after she meets REGINALD FAIRCLOTH, her inquisitive, interfering, English-gentleman publisher, that the word risk takes on new meaning.
 When complications of lethal magnitude further invade her life, she bungles further and further into the depths of peril--deep into a creeping, slithering world where it is one strike and you are out.

Wherefore Art Thou, Jane? (Pate and Faircoth Book 1)

This award winning mystery/thriller took finalist honors in the Readers Favorite International Book Awards. One of WARREN ROBERTS SWAT cronies once told him a woman would run naked into the street to save her baby, but a man would stop to put on his pants first. It was an interesting thought, an enigma to ride the back of his mind and wait for a time of future analysis. But time plays tricks and sometimes there is no time for analysis, only for action. Action soon takes on a whole new meaning as he embarks on the most embarrassing job he's ever attempted working undercover as a movie extra. Just one day of bungling tells him he would weep for joy over some high-risk, tactical, search and rescue operation involving weapons of mass destruction, that is, provided it is anywhere but Hollywood. For a man with his diverse skill sets, it takes only three days to locate background actress, RAINY WRAY. It takes him slightly longer to discover why he is really locating this blithe hippy. Only after he bungles them both into a quagmire of disaster does he take his acting seriously. When Warren Roberts, romps through the Hollywood movie scene, he proves that off-beat investigative styles can achieve results and that action, adventure, humor, and romance can credibly inhabit the same story.

Hell Is Naked

Laughter floats on the air laughter she brought to the destitute Indian village. She walks the roughness of Tutlu s new dirt runway, thankful that pilot, JIM ORR, can land his plane there and bring new prosperity for her mission. But a mysterious calamity puts Tutlu s prosperity on hold while Jim flies an unconscious Anne back to her hometown of Houston. She awakes to an unkind world where every breath is effort, every memory pain, and facing a new day the most difficult task of all. Only when she finds her beloved villagers drenched in the wake of billion-dollar corporate ambition and Jim being used as the corporation s scapegoat, does she rise above her new frailty and pit herself against the enemy with all her old will and faith. SPARROW ALONE ON THE HOUSETOP is the tale of a village s struggle to rise above oppression and poverty. It s the account of a daring pilot who flies into a woman s life and knows he s never attempted such heights. It s the story of one woman s heroic fight to save them all.
