Vermilion Riptide, the publisher's best selling book

Vermilion Riptide — a lively drama for solution-oriented times

Itapeaçu, Urucará, Prainha. The Amazonas names thrill Dominique, and fill her with a fearful attraction for places where the boats will touch shore again. Fervently wishing that she had even a speck of the courage required to be that type of traveller, the kind who just doesn't quit until they touch a thorny heart.


Brazil. Torn between mind-staggering beauty and incalculable darkness, the country works its potent magic on two automotive professionals from Scandinavia.


A harried Canadian consultant flies along on her husband’s foreign assignment to Curitiba, south-west of São Paolo. A charmed life of sumptuous benefits unfolds, ringed by wretched living conditions, violence, and a murder investigation.


Dominique has designed and navigated an irreverent lifestyle strictly on her own terms, so she is appalled that her captivating new friend Aida’s basic freedoms and adulthood are being robbed. When Jack spoils their dream scenario with a standard 'Carnaval' fling, the distraught but pragmatic wife amuses herself with precision revenge strategies and intoxicating Bahian magic.
