Exploding Buddha

by Paul Leonard Williams

Overview

Business has been slow, which is never a good thing when you have bills to pay. It's much worse when you owe money to the most notorious crime boss in San Francisco. So when a beautiful anthropology professor walks into Gideon's office asking him to determine the whereabouts of an ancient artifact called the Horn of Ryujin, he naturally takes the case.

Gideon is not the only one looking for the horn, and soon, mob-enforcers become the least of his worries. Our hero quickly finds himself in a life or death race against deadly ninja assassins and ancient, dark forces, to see who can claim the mystical horn first. To make matters worse, if the horn falls into the wrong hands, the world's delicate balance-of-power will shift, and millions of innocent souls will be eradicated.

Is this tough-as-nails private eye in over his head? Will street-smarts, a mean right hook, and a Colt .45 be enough against demons and dark magic?

No pressure though. It's all in a days work for Gideon Jones, Private Eye.

About the Author

Paul Leonard Williams was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. At a very young age, Paul began putting pen to paper (or rather 'crayon to paper' in his earliest years) with a clear penchant for telling fantastic tales. His loving parents, in all of their wisdom, noted that as Paul grew older, he wasn't outgrowing his writing phase. So in a well-intended attempt to broaden their bookwormy son's horizons, they introduced him to the world of sports - which he almost completely ignored. Changing tactics, they enrolled Paul in a karate class, and on a warm New Mexico afternoon, his lifelong love-affair with martial-arts was kindled. Paul has since trained in: Tang Soo Do, Shorin Ryu Karate, Aikido, Judo and most recently, To Shin Do. Paul has served his country as a United States Marine, and during that time, he found he had an inherent love for firearms. When he re-entered civilian life, Paul discovered that his marksmanship and ninja skills weren't exactly paying the bills, and following a brief stint as a bodyguard - Paul begrudgingly entered the workforce as an office drone... but in his heart of hearts, he has always been a story teller. Join Paul, as he comes full-circle, and returns to his first passion, and finally shares his fantastic tales with the world.

Rod is currently wrapping up a horror/psychological thriller entitled 'Iteration', as well as a post apocalyptic thriller, a children's book, and a screenplay (comedic/drama) entitled 'Bluetooth'.
