Outcome (Breakers)

Ellie Colson is the only one who believes in the end of the world.

As an agent of the Department of Advance Analysis, she's one of a handful of people who knows about the spread of a new virus--one she believes will wipe out mankind. With her bosses in denial, she flies to New York to get her ex-fiance Chip to safety.

But he's already been scooped up and quarantined--and so has his adopted daughter. Pursued by her own agency, Ellie will stop at nothing to break Chip out before the virus claims them all.


The Haunted
They have the beginnings of a perfect family. A husband, a wife, a baby on the way. 

But something will stop them from being happy as they move into their new house: the power of the undead that roam the halls of their home. 

The demons that have come to claim them. The darkness that seeks to destroy them.

The haunted.

Singularity
BCA Special Agent Sullivan Shale has seen his share of violence and death. He's become weathered and haunted by the harsh reality of his career yet continues on despite a crippling personal loss. But when one of the largest penitentiaries in Minnesota calls requesting an investigation into an inmate's brutal death, even his expertise is pushed to the limit.

Singleton Penitentiary, located in the middle of an inhospitable swamp, has become an island amidst a torrential flood. The prisoners are silent, the staff is belligerent, and the murder committed in one of the solitary confinement cells is unimaginable.

Cut off from the outside world and faced with insurmountable odds, Shale must uncover a secret stretching back half a century and race against time to save himself and perhaps all of humanity from an insidious threat, that may not be human.

Blood Nation - The White Vampire
The vampires have won, and the world has fallen into darkness. 

When Marrock and his girlfriend, Jewel, two of the few who still live free, are captured by vampires, the head vampire chooses Jewel to be his next bride.

Despite being forced to fight in the arena, Marrock does not give up his love easily and attempts to save Jewel. He plans to topple the vampire kingdom, but to do this Marrock must first unite the living. He must start an uprising, save the world, and rescue his love before the head vampire takes not only Jewel’s life, but her soul.

The Hole
We’ve all heard stories of people touched by angels. What if the tables were reversed? The Hole is a dingy little stepchild factory of a large corporation where scrap materials, broken down machinery and misfit employees are sent. Engineer Steve Clark finds himself among those misfits after barely recovering from a brain injury. Follow along as he utilizes a newly acquired supernatural gift while his sanity, his career and the love of his life, Roxy, are on the line. Holes aren’t always what they seem. Sometimes they lay in the threshold of a whole new life.




The Night Everything Changed

No one would ever forget the night the carnival came to town.
Vincent Carlson used to have a good life. He lived on a small farm in Doverton, Wisconsin, with his loving teenage daughter, Leanne. His biggest worries were tending his corn crop and being a good dad to Leanne. But that was before the seedy little carnival came to town, bringing with them the tiny humanoid creatures called “Haunchies”. For Vincent Carlson—and the whole town of Doverton—that was the night everything changed.





The Raven Mocker

Buried deep in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains near the Appalachian Trail is a centuries-old secret known only to the Cherokee Indians who have passed the legend down through generations. When young history teacher, Katherine Lowe, disappears after a weekend of hiking and archaeological research on Blood Mountain in Georgia, her best friend, Andi Ross, begins her own search for the truth behind Katherine’s disappearance.

With the help of Deputy Timothy Rainwater, Andi begins to discover the roots of her own Cherokee heritage, and she soon unravels the mystery which closely ties her to Katherine’s disappearance and the looming danger which lurks for her in the Georgia pines.

Andi encounters a mysterious local outcast, Joseph Moon, who lives in a shack in the middle of the Chattahoochee Forest, and her suspicion of his involvement in Katherine’s disappearance escalates as she learns more of his troubled past. Her trust for Deputy Rainwater is frayed when a critical piece of evidence in the case is stolen and all suspicion points to him.

Who can Andi trust in this supernatural tale of mystery, legend, and suspense? Will her own adventure on Blood Mountain lead her to the answer of Katherine’s disappearance, or will she become a victim to the legend of the Raven Mocker?

He would have to fight through hordes of undead, merciless other survivors, and a series of death defying stunts to get home. However, even if he makes it there, how can he be sure they're safe?

Deadlocked puts you into David's head as he struggles to get home. Then a final confrontation occurs that could guarantee his family's survival, but at what cost?



The Doll

The Island of the Dolls is a strange and eerie tourist destination in Mexico, where hundreds of decomposing dolls hang from trees like grisly Christmas ornaments.

I'd Die a Thousand Times

CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND DISTURBING CONTENT. THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR WEAK STOMACHS OR FAINT HEARTS. That having been said, this book tries it’s hardest to be amusing. It apologizes if it failed to do so.

Comedic turns and plot twists, with over-the-top death sequences and cheesy one-liners, should hopefully have you laughing and disgusted all at once.

“It's 1936. Cool cars, fast talking gangsters, and corrupt police. Dolled up women with loose lips and heady attitudes. It is here, in an unnamed city, that we meet Jimmy. He is a cold-blooded killer. He murders for money and is employed by the meanest bastard alive as a hired gun. The man he works for goes by no name, and is the most ruthless and unrelenting mob boss the city has ever seen.

When Jimmy meets a beautiful woman—who his boss covets from a distance—and plans to leave town with her, his own crew double crosses him and sends him to an early grave.

One year after his murder, he inexplicably returns to the land of the living to settle old scores. He has a kill list. Everyone involved in his murder is going to pay, with interest.”

Unfinished (Historical Fiction)

A fraudulent psychic. A soulless declaration. A wealthy heiress whose father is determined to disinherit her. Can love overcome all -- or will it need another generation?

Billionaire's daughter Lilith Stone never imagined she'd (almost) lose her virginity in her father's Beacon Hill garden, right under his watchful eye. Poor Southie boy James Hillman never intended to fall in love; ambition and wealth meant too much to him.

When this unlikely duo meets for the first time as Lilith's father tries to have her committed to the mental ward for a repeat performance, both find that "never" means nothing when it comes to love. As James prepares to find his fortune in the mines in Chile, Lilith struggles with the demons of her own past and a sexual proclivity that shatters known medical science assumptions.

With a cast of characters that range from a cuckolded billionaire to a beribboned chihuahua, this Edwardian tale of 1910s love -- and loss -- asks the question: If love never dies, then where does it go?

How do you fight what no longer exists?
When Jaclyn Hart's brother mysteriously disappears while working for a logging company, she joins a seven-day guided tour to learn what really happened. Strange things start occurring in this northern rainforest: group members disappear while others exhibit alarming personality changes. Worse, an ominous thumping noise emanates throughout the forest, growing more forceful as the group gets closer to its spiritual center.
Dean Stockton is on his own quest. Although he'd sworn never again to set foot in the Stein, he is fulfilling a deathbed promise to teach a young orphan, Jesse Littlefoot, his Native heritage, and the two embark on a journey that pits them against an eddy of outside forces: governmental and corporate greed, the desecration of the rainforest, and a primeval power that threatens to claim Jesse as its own.
As Dean and Jackie team up to save Jesse, they find themselves fighting for their own survival, and uncover some alarming ancient secrets that lay in the center of the Stein.

The Toil and Trouble Trilogy, Book One

New Adult Paranormal--May not be appropriate for younger readers due to violence, some sexual content, and dark themes.

Getting hot and heavy with Brice Ventresca is a drunken mistake, something that becomes very clear to Olivia Calabrese when the clock strikes midnight and he turns into a berserker--a rage-filled monster who tries to kill her.

Olivia knows all about beserkers. Her mob family sells the illegal magical charms that have the nasty side effect of changing people that overuse the charms into part-time maniacs. Olivia's dream is to run the family. Her uncle, the current boss, just got shot by a rival gang. This is her chance to take over. She's not letting anything get in her way. Especially not a guy who goes crazy every night at midnight.

Sure, Brice is really cute, and he offers to help her get a leg up on her cousin--her only competition for boss. Sure, he's got crazy magical skills that are really useful, meaning she's winning hands down against her cousin. And sure, he seems to really like her.

But he's a beserker, and the virus that causes it is... contagious. Like, sexually. There really isn't any future in a relationship like that. She only wishes it were easier to stay away from him.

Circus of the Dead

Twenty years ago, the dead destroyed the world of the living. The survivors scattered in the wake of the Scourge, erecting small towns in the worlds' most sparsely populated areas.

For young Gabriel, the walking dead are merely the memories that haunt the eyes of those old enough and lucky enough to have survived. He is more concerned with his hard life in America's desert, where his chores keep him busy and the husks of books stashed beneath the cellar of the library are his only freedom.

Until the circus comes to town.


Lakebridge: Spring (Supernatural Horror Literary Fiction)
Vermont, picturesque and lovely, attracts visitors from across the country in search for the perfect picture, the perfect fall foliage or perhaps a taste of maple syrup. Stansbury is best known for the odd covered bridge that spans Stansbury Lake and goes nowhere, connecting no roads and serving no known purpose. The locals call it the Lakebridge. Very few know of its mysterious origins and fewer care to know more. Those visiting the town perhaps take a few snapshots and leave, their curiosity quelled by an uneasy feeling that they shouldn’t think on it anymore.

The tourists will eventually leave Stansbury, but its residents strangely linger, seemingly held captive by a force they barely recognize. They also do not think about the town’s mysterious artifact much except in passing, all but Gil, his father, Ben, and a few others. They know of the bridge’s dark history and understand that it is responsible for every horror that ever befell the people of Stansbury: the people who fear the bridge but will not speak of it. The bridge makes people do things – bad things – so that it can continue to love and care for them all.

Some have tried to destroy the bridge, but as long as the bridge is fed with the lives of the innocents of Stansbury it will go on – loving the people of Stansbury.
