Val was bitten by a zombie and now she’s scheduled for lethal injection. Breaking all the rules, eighteen year old, Dean Walters snags an experimental serum. But it can’t be tested until Val turns into a zombie: something authorities won’t allow. Her execution is scheduled to happen before transformation is complete, giving Dean only hours to break her out.
When their helicopter crashes straight into the heart of Zombie Land, his rescue mission becomes a fight for survival…and giving up on Val is NOT an option.

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.

Deep in a dark, snow-covered cemetery, a terrifying, moaning apparition rises from the same grave night after night.

In the chilling blackness, only Jessica Backman is prepared to answer the spectral cry from beyond when the graveyard speaks.
THE WATCHTOWER is the first book in a series about a motley crew of paranormal individuals who must deal with their own personal demons, while trying to save the world from real ones, and end up the pawns in an immortal battle of revenge.

His first day of work wasn't what Martin Cunningham expected. A sultry boss, a classy receptionist, the drama-queen foreigner, and a painfully shy techie who prefers hiding to human interaction, was the oddest group of characters he'd ever met. When an assassination attempt is made against his new boss, Martin comes face to face with the stuff of nightmares.
Now he and his new co-workers must race to prevent another attack, but where do they start? There's very little to go on, and the only solid piece of evidence escaped through the u-bend in the toilet. By the end of the day, Martin becomes one of the privileged few who really understands what lies in the shadows, and what it means to work in THE WATCHTOWER.

A PLACE IN TIME, explores the theme of what good people are driven to do in order to survive when pushed beyond human endurance.
Dan Campbell is a troubled man who sinks into depression as each birthday approaches. Thirty years earlier, on his 11th birthday, he’d witnessed his father's murder and saved his mother from a deranged stranger, but something is wrong with the memory of that terrible day. Something he can't quite see. Something just out of focus.
When his annual depression threatens his family’s wellbeing, he takes his mother back to his childhood home to confront his memories and find closure. Going back is never easy, but what Dan discovers there will turn his world upside down, for no-one and nothing is as he remembered and as the present meets the past, his very existence is threatened.

Eve was fed up with her fake family and couldn’t take it anymore. If it wasn’t for her cheating mom, her dad would still be alive today. Her dad was perfect and adored Eve very much. She could never forgive her mom for getting pregnant by a moron like, Adam. And the only way she knew how to cope with her pathetic life was through art and competition. But something evil was stirring up in Eve. She knew she would be out of the house soon and would have all of her dad’s money to do as she pleased. But she had another plan, a plan that was going to leave everyone speechless and make her famous at the next art show. No one could stop her now, not even her nemesis Kaitlin, who she wanted to push off a cliff at the sight of her. Why couldn’t everyone see that all she ever wanted was to be daddy’s little girl forever.
Warning: This horror story has very dark and disturbing images. Adults should read the story before determining whether or not it is appropriate for a child in their care.
Here is a preview:
Eve had financial freedom, and even though she could go to any art school, winning was what mattered to her! She was a sore loser and there was no way that she was going to lose to that freckle faced Kaitlin. Over her dead body, would she let that happen.
She sat at the table and tried her best not to barf at the sick and fake display of family togetherness. Her stepfather, Adam, was reading the paper and drinking his coffee (there were many times that she had thought about poisoning it just to get rid of him, but she never did.) Kingston was sitting in his booster seat picking his nose, while her mother was setting the plates of food on the table. She glared at her mother and shoved her plate aside and grabbed some orange juice instead.

ASH: Return of the Beast is a supernatural crime thriller, a tale of revenge steeped in the occult. The story is a work of fiction based on a little known factoid about the death of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the notorious occultist the British press once called "The Wickedest Man In The World". Crowley's body was cremated but the unexplained disappearance of the urn containing his ashes has remained a mystery... until now.
This diabolical tale propels the reader through a series of curiously interconnected events spanning the years from 1947 (and the death of Aleister Crowley) to the 1990s and the coming-of-age (and eventual stardom) of a "death-metal" rocker with the unlikely name of Rodney Duckworth.
The time-line shifts to the present day where Brian Kane, a gruff and gritty street-worn Seattle Police Detective, reluctantly teams up with the mysterious Rowena Ravenwood, an attractive and rather unconventional female FBI agent assigned to a most unusual investigative unit. Their task is to figure out why good, healthy, God-fearing preachers in their fair city are suddenly dropping dead... one at a time... nine days apart.
What is the meaning of the strange symbols branded onto the bodies of these hapless victims? Are they all part of some bizarre cult? No eyewitnesses. No fingerprints. Is it really murder? Where's the evidence? And what is the disturbing secret that Detective Kane is holding so close to his chest?
The investigation catapults Kane and Ravenwood headlong into life-threatening situations as they wind their way through the strange, dark labyrinth of the world of the occult and find themselves battling for their lives against the powerful forces of ritual magick.
A bloody carnage of unimaginable horror is about to be unleashed upon the world. The survival of the entire human race hangs in the balance and the clues to help solve the case are in desperately short supply. Worse yet, so is the amount of time left to stop the mysterious killer's reign of terror before all Hell breaks loose. And - according to Special Agent Ravenwood - that's not just a figure of speech.

The Silver Tower is an exclusive high-rise condo complex in lower Manhattan. The residents are a who’s who of the city’s elite athletes, brokers and entertainers. The building is a state of the art facility equipped with all the comforts, excesses and security measures one could ask for. From the full service day spa to voice activated appliances to the Starbucks in the lobby there is no luxury too great.
Kimberly is the onsite manager. Dixon is a former Secret Service agent and the head of security. Together they act fast to drop the security shutters and seal the Silver Tower’s eclectic group of tenants in. They are safe from the Zombie Apocalypse that is spiraling out of control on the streets all around them, but not from each other.
This is a tale of the undead like no other. It’s not about surviving the outbreak. It’s about surviving with your fellow humans and keeping the fragile notions of peace and order as everything goes to hell.
The Silver Tower is one of several “Sawkill Stories.” They run parallel with, or are directly related to Matt FItzgerald's novel “Sawkill” that is coming out next year. Over the next several months more “Sawkill Stories” will surface in anticipation to the main event. They will provide insight and background to some of the supporting cast, and events touched upon in the “Sawkill” universe. Each story stands on it’s own, but will have deeper implications once the full picture is revealed.

Now Evelyn is alone, trapped in a world where things go beyond mere murder. She's collecting the souls of the innocent.
