It’s Now Or Never

Teen Novel

While exploring the Magpie Mine, best friends’ Cal and James accidentally overhear a couple of local hooligans burying a mysterious chest. Naturally, the boys investigate . . . but taking from thieves can lead to disastrous consequences, including the kidnapping of Pepper—James’ younger sister—and a rescue attempt that explodes (literally) in their faces. The thrilling and dangerous adventure is just beginning. It’s Now or Never as Cal, James, and Pepper try to escape a despicable family of goons and knuckleheads who will stop at nothing to reclaim their treasure.

Cameron Ventura

I’d been writing television commercials and longer format films for some time, but I wrote my first short story when I was in my early twenties. It was written on one of my old antique Underwoods, a real commitment to get that ink on the page! I’ve made my living as a filmmaker, also writing scripts-for-screen, returning occasionally to write prose.

When I met the characters, Cal Poag and his best friend, James Nelson, who live in the fictitious mountain town of Mud Lake, WA — I was bitten by the bug to write novels. Those two adventurous young teens taught me the wonderful journey of writing fiction prose.

Do or Die Time

Cal & James have discovered something awful, but intriguing,
in the woods behind your town…

Maybe they can sell tickets for their friend to see it…

That is if the guys who did it don’t come back…

Between A Rock And A Hard Place

Cal has been relocated—again…

This time, to a new country, the coast of northwest Canada…

No friends. Far from home. And Uncle J seems disinterested 

in befriending his displaced nephew…

I love your book and I want to read the next one, your style is good (and) you’re the one author that got me really sucked into a book and this is coming from a kid who usually hates reading. It was funny it was adventurous and mysterious. I am looking forward to your next book.
