OH MY GOSH! Is that snow? Oh.. no it’s not. It’s ash. Fire season has begun. In California we have fire season in the Fall. This year it started early because of the lightening storms. One place the fires have decided to pay a visit is Armstrong State Natural Reserve, that I was telling you all about earlier. My partner in crime, her boy, and me and my baby bassets, went on a social distance hike two weeks ago through there. The giant redwoods are amazing. Some are over 3000 years old. The fire is threatening them, but I am not sure just how much damage the fire would do. The woods have been through a number of blazes over the years, and you can see the evidence on the blacked bark. The trees are standing tall, strong, and quiet healthy. I am not going to worry too much about the redwoods right now. The firefighters around here have had plenty of practice and they are amazing. Instead today I will spend my time cleaning all the ash  that has fallen all over the garden, cars, and deck. It will all be back in an hours time, but for some reason is a satisfying chore.

Landon Connor is a man of many talents–all business magazines agree on that. My family calls me a workaholic, but being driven and career-focused is what turned me into a hotshot CEO. I have good reasons for keeping my personal life on hold.
Then Maddie Jennings walks into my life and makes me question all my choices.

THE RAGNARÖK CONSPIRACY

EXTRAORDINARY RETRIBUTION

Murder, torture, and vengeance collide to threaten the highest echelons of power.


“Startlingly dark” -San Francisco/Sacramento Book Reviews

“A plot that never stops” -Foreword Reviews

Evil is not born of madness, but madness of evil. Follow a rogue CIA agent who uncovers a shocking conspiracy deep in the intelligence community. But a shadow follows the investigation: a killer bent on a revenge so terrible, it is only matched by the crimes committed against him. In the end, no one escapes unscathed, no beliefs will go unchallenged, and no wrong will escape the terrible, final, and extraordinary retribution.


“Stebbins nails it with this book. Just when you think you have the recipe down for international thrillers, an author upends it and creates multifaceted characters and a plot that never stops.
