The sequel to Boys of Vice City picks up where the story left off, as Gil goes to London with Mike. It's written and waiting illustration. Thrown into the whirlwind disco scene of London in 1980, Gil is introduced into a strange world of Englishness, filming in Paradise, Europe's biggest disco, working at Pinewood Studios, and discovering the illicit pleasures of a city waking to a new sense of liberation. And then the American producer James Rosen, who has vowed to get his revenge for the insult he suffered in Rome (Vice City), comes viciously between the two boys and tears their happiness to shreds. Will their love survive?  (Illustrated fiction)

The third book in the trilogy is also written. Heartbroken after Mike has thrown him out, Gil is back home in L.A., trying to put his life back together, while in London Mike is doing the same, while bowing before the pressure of James Rosen. Mike is riddled with guilt over the way he has been forced to treat Gil; Gil is simply hurt almost beyond redemption. When Mike discovers that Rosen is a part of the Miami drugs cartel, he finds a way to discredit the film producer with results far beyond his expectations. The biter is bit, and suddenly Mike is free to go to L.A. and try to find Gil. His quest is one thing, winning Gil back to his side is quite another.  (Illustrated fiction)

As yet without a title, this novel is set in the Roman province of Africa (modern Tunisia) in AD 147. Gaius Fabius Aelius is a retired centurion who wants a year out wandering wherever he wishes before taking up the responsibilities of an equestrian in Rome. Gaius is big and tough and although he doesn't seek it, trouble finds him at every pass.

While taking a few days out in the prosperous and pleasant town of Tuburbo Maius, he discovers that below the town's placid exterior the greed of one powerful family is ruining everyone's life. Worse, the murderous Corvinus family has its bloody fingers in wine scams, stealing water from the aqueduct that supplies Carthage, protection rackets, and counterfeiting coinage. When Gaius is accused of a murder he did not commit, it becomes personal and he vows to bring the local mafia to book.

From then on, the story blurs into fast and violent action, as Gaius becomes the one-man law enforcer Thuburbo Maius desperately needs. With the local prefect of police in the Corvinus pocket, Gaius finds help from one attractive widow who refuses to bow down to the terror and a young man who turns out to be the youngest of the Corvinus brood.

Young Clint is a loner who depends on no one, and wants no one depending on him. A streetwise London East Ender, Clint wanders from trick to trick, renting by the hour.

In a world where none of the fighters wants to know their colleagues, Clint finds that he does need others. Dark, gritty, and bloody, the story follows Clint through training, combat, and the transient comfort of hyperactive men relieving their tensions with each other, until the pot boils over in a climactic scene of destruction and hopeful escape.
