Double Novel


Taconite Runes brings you back to the days of the gritty adult action stories from the 1950’s and 1960’s. Those two decades were filled with tales about spies, murder, and mayhem. With this double novel, Days Between Seasons and Crystal Clear Pond, Taconite Runes updates the classic adult action genre with modern themes.


Days Between Seasons is an action spy novel. Without the Cold War, the covert struggle isn’t between countries but between individuals for money and power. Days begins with a vicious murder of Johnston’s wife. The mayhem, blood and sex is non-stop as Johnston seeks revenge for the gruesome killing. The high tech international chase ends in book one with a life and death winter showdown in Northern Minnesota.


After his divorce, George, an ex-used car salesman, just wanted to take wildlife pictures. He left the Twin Cities for a cabin on a Crystal Clear Pond. Instead of simplifying his life, it becomes much more complicated. First George photographs a dangerous paramilitary militia poaching animals. Next he finds a naked blond nymph cavorting in his pond. An international hitman, money laundering, good-old boys with automatic weapons, a bank investigator for the State Attorney General’s Office... Poor George, what else will happen on the shore of the Crystal Clear Pond?
