The Good Riddance Project
We all get frustrated sometimes, right? Some people just collect way too many things, and if the person is your partner, things can get testy. Most things can be solved with a bit of good sense and a lot of humor. But we never know what can push someone over the edge, do we?
A freestanding novella, “The Good Riddance Project” is a mystery caper about an experienced project manager who has lost his patience with shoes, spatulas and his wife. And getting rid of her, it’s all in proper planning, just another project, right? But, is having too many shoes really a reason to get rid of someone?
I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it. It is now out as ebook and paperback on Amazon. And it is, just like the other books, free to read on Kindle Unlimited. And now also as audiobook, both on Amazon and also on Audible.

The Bastion Trilogy
Three novellas. One island where history, secrets, and human courage collide.
Bastion of Shadows Valletta, Malta, 1941. The island is starving, bombed daily, and ruled by curfew. When Cesare Angelotti escapes with intelligence that could change Malta’s fate, painter Mario Cavardossi hides him — and becomes a marked man. Baron Scarpia, head of the feared military police, arrests Cavardossi and condemns him to face a firing squad at dawn. Floria Tosca, Malta’s celebrated soprano, must decide how far she will go to save him. A darkly compelling WWII tale of passion, courage, and betrayal in wartime Malta.
The Bastion Protocol Modern Malta. Ten days before a secretive treaty is signed, journalist and former MI6 analyst Calaf arrives in Valletta to expose Annex B — a hidden clause that could hand Beijing control of Europe’s data lifelines. Guarding the truth is Turandot Vassallo, the Prime Minister’s brilliant daughter and architect of the Bastion Protocol — a cyber‑defence system locked behind three cryptographic riddles. Each riddle pulls Calaf deeper into Malta’s past and into a dangerous duel over trust, power, and the cost of security. A fast‑moving cyber‑thriller where history, cryptography, and moral reckoning collide on Europe’s smallest fortress nation.
Bastion Butterfly Valletta, Malta, 1943. Seventeen‑year‑old Maria “Farfetta” Bonnici works in the secret Lascaris War Rooms, logging aircraft movements as the island braces for invasion. When she meets American naval lieutenant Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, she is swept into a whirlwind of dances, bastion walks, and whispered promises of marriage. But when Pinkerton sails and his letters stop, Maria is left to face the truth alone.. A moving story of first love, resilience, and the quiet strength of letting go.
All the novellas are available as ebooks and paperbacks on Amazon, and free to read on Kindle Unlimited.
And there’s also now both a paperback and ebook of all three novellas in one book, The Bastion Trilogy.
