According to the book description of Avalon
Bay: A Jewelry Hunter Thriller, it is “a mystery thriller set in the legendary town of Avalon on the idyllic
island of Catalina. Jenn, a retail jewelry marketer known as the Jewelry Hunter, inadvertently learns that a fundamental Islamic
terrorist sleeper cell comprised, in part of American Caucasian women converts to Islam, plans to destroy two tourist ferries
that service Catalina. Unable to convince local authorities, the FBI, or Homeland Security of the threat, she, her friend
Tiffany, and her husband, Bill, resolve to thwart the terrorists on their own. Jenn confronts and captures the cell's Saudi
born cell leader when he attempts to initiate the plot from a commuter helicopter flying over the two ferries. This leaves
the suicide bombers on each ferry to act on their own. Jenn must determine a way to prevent them from completing the plot
before the ferries enter the Long Beach and Avalon harbors without alerting the terrorist that the plot has been discovered
and their leader captured.”
According to the book description of
Gold in Quartz, "It
has been a year since an Islamic
cleric declared a fatwa against Bill
and Jenn for averting a terrorist
plot to blow up two fully loaded
passenger ferries off the southern
coast of California. Now, the
Watsons must contend with another
group of murderous thugs.
While on a jewelry buying trip in
Northern California’s Gold Country,
the Watsons inadvertently stumble
into a gruesome shooting at the
Speckled Gold Mine. Suddenly
propelled into a set of
circumstances that grows more
mysterious—and perilous—by the day,
Bill and Jenn soon find themselves
in witness protection. But their new
enemies are never very far behind.
From the Gold Country to Catalina
Island, to New York City to Paris,
they are forced to rely on the FBI,
the French police, and hefty
measures of their own quick wits,
intuition, and marksmanship to
survive.
When events lead them to
Johannesburg, the Watsons and their
allies—including the tough-talking,
trigger-happy friend Tiffany and a
drop-dead gorgeous FBI agent who
refuses to carry a loaded
weapon—must devise a plan to
neutralize their adversary… before
their luck runs out."
