The Price of Ash - Finalist for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Literary Award

United Nations Peacekeeper Ian Bishop can no longer ignore the secrets of his past. ​During a raid to dismantle illegal charcoal kilns threatening the mountain gorilla habitats in Congo’s Virunga National Park,  Bishop captures a child soldier who could lead him to the genocidaire that he’s been pursuing in the ten years since the Rwandan genocide. With the life of the boy in his hands, Bishop must reconcile his need for redemption with his desire for revenge.
