Now, after 5 years of honing her skills, she’s back and ready to try again.
But when she starts to see that the killer knows a little something about her, the heat turns up and Harding realizes she may not be the only one getting chased. Listen to it on Podiobooks.com for free. Due out in Febuary 2012 as an eBook.

James Keeling’s Compensating Controls

Bio: James Keeling is a working author located in sometimes frozen tundra of Minnesota. The father of four daughters, he never ceases to be amazed by the magic of life around him. His role of both bedtime and fireside storyteller has led him inexorably into authorhood. His work has been published in the Flying Island Press’ Pirates Cove.

Synopsis:  Nicholas Edgwood rides a wave of good karma–a job he excels at, a new girlfriend, and a bright future. When he gets framed for a cyber-crime he did not commit, he must run for his life while his entire world crumbles around him.
Betrayal and murder replace peace and hope as he finds himself in unfamiliar territory. He may not be the biggest and baddest guy out there, but he has skills, the kind garnered from a career steeped in computers and code. Now he must leverage these skills to their fullest to stay above ground and breathing. It will take all of his talent, and courage he may not have, just to survive.
