Dark matter!
Dark Matter Press
Dark Matter Press
is
an independent publishing house. In cosmology,"dark matter" is the
unseen substance that provides enough gravity to hold the universe together,
but not so much gravity that the universe implodes; at least not right
away. At Dark Matter press, we publish work that has enough gravity
to make you think, but not so much that your brain implodes; at least not
right away.

From reader reviews:
"Fast moving."
"A page turner."
"Vivid descriptions of Hawaii... non-stop action & mystery."
"Great story with descriptive passages that put you right there, on Kauai, in the middle of a powerful hurricane, trying to solve a murder mystery."
"A tale of deception and murder."
"The storm in this thriller has many fronts--ecological, geographical, political, historical and psychological--to name a few."
"Fatal Paradise was more than enough to satisfy my taste for action, adventure, and mystery....
complex and believable characters, who deal with the experiences they face as ordinary people might, rather than with the one-dimensional aplomb of the heroes in a typical adventure novel."For full reader reviews of Fatal Paradise, see the Reviews page.
