Love and Terror in Doug’s Books

All of Doug’s books, starting with “Goshawk (34 five-star reviews on Amazon and growing), thrill readers with intense relationships, dangerous challenges and strident legal issues:

“And you know, David, I have surprise for you.” He grabbed playfully at the hem of her flimsy garment. To his surprise and delight, she wiggled out of it and stood defiantly before him, hands on her hips, tiny snowflakes dancing around them, blurring her nakedness. Her outrageous pink tongue teased vibrant, cherry lips. As he rushed toward her welcoming warmth, the cranberry chemise tripped him up and he stumbled heavily onto the low, broad-plank porch. She scampered away toward the sauna, squealing excitedly.

“If I can catch you, I’ll nibble your luscious ass!” he shouted after her, taking up the chase. The two lovers disappeared through another creaky door into the warmly glowing sauna.

Brazen harlot, Layla (Iraqi assassin) thought to herself, squirming uncomfortably, her face growing flushed despite the cold. What kind of a mother would that whore be, cavorting around naked in the snow like some hungry prostitute? ….

“…And what might that be, my darling?” he gasped, looking directly into her piercing blue eyes as he caressed the palm of her outstretched left hand. “You know when I went into town this morning? Well, I went to see doctor. To make long story short, as you say, I am having baby, our baby.” “Wonderful!” David exclaimed. “I can’t think of anyone more worthy of being reproduced than you. And to think I had so much fun getting it started. Peter and Will always wanted a younger sibling. When’s the baby due? Boy or girl?”…

“…A wave of shattering glass roused David from his fitful slumber.

Smaller glass breaking followed several bulky thumps. Marja’s shrieks made the hair on the back of his neck stand up!

“David! Daaavid, where are you? Help me! Daaaavid!”

A single automatic weapon chuttered three times. He heard more glass breaking, wood smashing. Light running footsteps crossed the bedroom floor and plunged toward him through the carpeted stairwell. David was momentarily paralyzed by his fear then immediately jump-started by a fiery dose of adrenalin.”
