About this ebook

Hired by the devil to find a missing demon and given a succubus as an assistant, what could go wrong for a young detective? Tom Wilkens is the junior detective at a large Investigation agency. Being the newest recruit, he is often assigned cases others would prefer not to have, but this case was to be the strangest of all.

The client was old goat-horns himself. The assistant is an incredibly alluring demoness whose second job is to seduce Tom and taint his soul. The missing demon – the most powerful entity in hell next to Lucifer himself.

With the help of his brother - a priest, his cousin – a monk, and his mother – soon to be a nun, he must find a way to out-trick Satan, out-think a two-thousand-year-old golem, out-muscle the most vicious demon in existence, and fight off the allure of the most beautiful creature he has ever met. So when did love become part of the equation?

About the author

A native Montrealer, I have done much travelling, and this is reflected in my writing. Every place I visit gives me more ideas, which I weave into my storytelling.

 My life experiences also feature in my writing, from my studies in college to my time in the military and my years working in multiple aspects of the real estate industry.

 I write in various genres, both in my novels and short stories, as well as articles for magazines.

My gothic horror/thriller Blood Mansion was selected best horror novel of 2024 in The Critters Annual Readers Poll. The sequel, Blood Castle, was released on September 23, 2025. I am currently writing the third book in the series, to be titled Blood Village. These books are with SRS Publishing.

As well, I have three self-published books, a YA urban fantasy which I fondly refer to as the Charm trilogy. Third Times the Charm, The Fourth Charm, and the Charms together.

I recently published the adult paranormal mystery/romance A Devil of a Time.

I have several short stories published in various magazines. These range from horror to sci-fi to fantasy, as well as non-fiction articles in magazines.

 I am a father of four and grandfather of three.
