Ace Pilot 
You've cheated death before,
and you're about to do it again...
    --Jack Sharpe, The Cursed Squadron

Writing

I have occasionally written some action-adventure fiction, usually in the pulp genre. Check it out here:

  Curse of the Blue Gem   
A pulp novella in the style of "Doc Savage"
Action-packed, thrilling, and mysterious

  The Cursed Squadron   
Jack Sharpe's debut appearance
A pulp WWI aviation short story in the style of "Flying Aces"

  The Scourge of the Witch Doctors   
Thrilling sequal to the original Jack Sharpe mystery
A pulp WWI aviation short story in the style of "Flying Aces"


Curse of the Blue Gem:

Exlorers on Snomobiles at Peak of Arctic Mountain

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD sets off a quest leading Mike Cribb and his team of engineers extraordinaire deep into the arctic circle to stop a destructive operation before it wipes out a life form capable of saving humanity. Their only certainty is treachery and peril at every turn as they are haunted by a menace that leaves men dead with metallic gray stains on their fingers.

The Cursed Squadron:

Dogfight between SPAD and Fokker DVII

FOUR PILOTS HAD BEEN ASSASSINATED in the air during the sortie of their fifth kill. The 10th Pursuit was cursed! But Jack Sharpe was on the case, and something seemed fishy about the ghastly Hun and his ultimatum: NO MORE ACES.

The Scourge of the Witch Doctors:

Dogfight between SPAD and Fokker Dr1

G-2 WAS FACING A MENACE that threatened its very existence: Mysterious ships, piloted by witch-doctors that could shoot down a man without a single bullet. Jack Sharpe knew something was amiss – and it had something to do with those long-range Gothas!
