Saving Karma

Thrown out of her adoptive home just before graduation, Bree is broke and homeless, her college ambitions are ruined, and her best friend, Juju, is in the hospital with a shattered face because of her.

So, when the shadowy Meng Foundation offers Bree a free college education once she completes a two-year altruistic apprenticeship abroad, she is all in, after they agree to pay for Juju’s doctor bills as part of the deal.

But when the charitable foundation gig turns out to be grueling military-style training at an isolated jungle camp, Bree realizes she’s signed up to carry out daring rescue missions into backwater hellholes, delivering enslaved men, women and children to the sanctuary of Meng’s private walled city, New Lingyang.

Bree becomes enamored with saving the innocent downtrodden masses until discovering that behind the philanthropic facade of New Lingyang lies a shocking truth making her complicit in Meng’s horrific global enterprise.

For Bree Thomas, it suddenly becomes a race against time to save the people she put in harm’s way, rescue a young girl from a horrible fate, and uncover the real truth behind the death of her parents in Thailand years ago.

Fighting Karma

Cole Thomas receives the shocking news that his long-lost daughter Bree is alive.

Desperate to reconnect with her, Cole's old boss offers him a deal: help the agency investigate suspicious activities in the Andaman Sea, and they will provide the cure for the deadly pathogen infecting Bree.

On the run and burdened by guilt, Bree Thomas finds herself torn between her desire to rebuild her life and the suspicion that her father may have been involved in her mother's death. She embarks on a dangerous journey, enlisting the help of an indigenous seafaring tribe, in search of a rare golden pearl that holds the key to her deliverance.

When Bree and Cole's separate missions converge on the secluded island of Chinese billionaire Aslam Meng, they uncover an alarming truth. Meng's supposed fight against climate change is merely a facade, harboring a secret undersea operation unleashing destruction upon the ocean as a harbinger of doom.

With the stakes sky high and time running out, Bree and Cole must set aside their tragic pasts and join forces to prevent an undersea disaster with devastating global consequences.

"The story had me hooked from the start, and I could not wait to see how it was going to end...I cannot wait to read the next book.." Reader's Favorite

"Fighting Karma has more than the necessary quota for an action thriller.  If you’re familiar of the concept of “hard SF”, this could be described as “hard action,” with Bree getting her work in with several memorable and spectacular scenes..."  Girls with Guns
