    About this ebook

    A young Victorian German aristocrat, Erik, the black sheep of the family, is disowned by his family. Erik finds himself broke, without family, and with few friends. Lost and looking for a place to belong (and an income), Erik finds himself in the service of the Kaiser. Once again our young German spy finds himself in England. This time though he is not only going up against British spies, but Jack the Ripper as well. Will his British counterpart finally get him, or will it be Jack the Ripper who "retires" our young spy?

The first is "The Cartaphilus Saga: book #1 Amissio," scheduled for release on March 27, 2015.A submarine sailor for almost nine years, I am also an award winning artist.
