A former naval intelligence officer, Ford will shatter your ideas of reality and take you into a mystical world of vision, intuition, and psychic truth. A phenomenal psychic, unparalleled lover, and a true Renaissance man, Ashton Ford can see into the future and even into the distant past using his psychic powers to assist clients in crisis. Heart to Heart is an adventure that Ashton Ford never intended to share because it involved many tender depths of his own heart. It all started with the sudden appearance of a gentleman reported to have died over 150 years ago-and a mind-blowing mystery high above the sea in Laguna Beach, California. There, in a magnificent mansion, Ford finds himself surrounded by luxurious comfort and the flesh and blood ‘ghosts’ of people from the past. Ford’s keen and awesome talents must now pierce the secret of the mansion, while his heart, at the mercy of an ageless and beautiful sculptress, follows a dangerous path of its own. Don Pendleton wrote this about his Ashton Ford novels: ‘Through this character I attempt to understand more fully and to give better meaning to my perceptions of what is going on here on Planet Earth, and the greatest mystery of all the mysteries: the why of existence itself. Through Ford I use everything I can reach in the total knowledge of mankind to elaborate this mystery and to arm my characters for the quest. I try to entertain myself with their adventures, hoping that what entertains me may also entertain others-so these books, like life itself, are not all grim purpose and trembling truths. They are fun to write; for some they will be fun to read.’ ‘Ashton Ford is a spectacular character…

Copp for Hire
Copp for Hire, the first of the Joe Copp, Private Eye thrillers, is a high tension, fast moving story all the way, with Copp always in the eye of the storm and about to be engulfed in it at any moment.

Yet the tenor of the book invites a broad audience to read, to think about, to puzzle over the many questions he asks in his quest to understand the meaning of meaning’…
