"We Are Savages" YA fantasy/adventure is FREE this weekend (Dec 29 and 30) for kindle. Check it out
We Are Savages is the story of 12 year old Tris and what she finds when she runs from the responsibility of her household and descends through a rain grate into the child run world of Nowhere. "You go to bed angry or sad enough you can wake up just about anywhere," the Savages tell her. Nowhere is a brick utopia hidden in the sewers; made up of sweets, sports, hammocks, and fireflies. But even this haven, free of parents and protocol, is not everything it seems. Haunted by dark specters known only as Phocydes, feared for their reputation of consuming children whole, Tris works both to hunt and to hide from these hooded shadows. But something about them is familiar; something about them fires her curiosity more than her fear. And Tris slowly begins to realize that, no matter where you go, fear and responsibility are not things you can escape. The only thing to do is face them. |

Short Story ebooks
I currently have four short story ebooks published, all of which are free to download from various sites. For the greatest choice of formats, I recommend downloading them from Smashwords.com.
Skylord Set on another world, Skylord is a short tale of a young dragon's confrontation with the price of lying. To Sail The Dark Sea The merchant vessel 'Persephone', fastest of her kind, is on a fairly routine run to the colonial world of Tanvella. En route, however, she encounters a derelict ship and then an unknown object which threatens to destroy her. Captain Duschelle and his crew must save themselves, and thousands of others, and reveal something deplorable, before they can hope to return home. In Night's Shadows One night of passion was all it took to change everything for Alex Wheland. Still, it took a long time for his stubbornness to be destroyed, in an act of depravity that shook him to the core. He woke up, at last, to the fact that everything was different. He was no longer alive. Driven by rage and shame, he pursues the girl who brought him to this, and so enters night's shadows. Seelie Heiress Jenna was betrayed, her lover a cheat. What she didn't know, was that she had a secret past that involved a worse betrayal. Then the mysterious Athan appeared and changed her life forever. He revealed the truth, but his appearance also heralded danger. |

After writing 4 novellas and over two dozen short stories, I have finally released my first novel, the 115,000 word horror/supernatural thriller Blood, Smoke and Ashes. It's not the novel I intended to write when I typed the first words, but characters have a way of dictating their own fates despite my intentions. And i think the book is better off for that. Only $.99 for a limited time. In the Fall of 1955, the state of Nevada used the electric chair to execute a prisoner for the first time. It was also the last time. Molly Blackburn, nicknamed Jane the Ripper by the Las Vegas press after killing eleven men while posing as a prostitute, was strapped to the chair without incident. The switch was flipped. Everything after that went horribly wrong. Since that day, a copycat Jane the Ripper has appeared almost every decade in a different city, mimicking Molly's choice in victims as well as her methods of murder. She kills eleven men then disappears, never to be found. The similarities between the bodies left behind each decade is uncanny. As if they are all the victims of the same murderer, not a copycat. But that's impossible, of course, because Molly Blackburn is dead, her execution witnessed by a dozen people. FBI Agent Jack Shaw, the lead investigator in the Jane the Ripper cases since the seventies, finally catches a break in 2009 when the intended fifth victim manages to turn the tables on the newest copycat . Everyone believes that the horror has finally ended with her capture. Shaw is not so sure, though, wondering if someone else will take up the mantle and kill seven more men to complete the cycle. But when no more bodies with her distinctive markings show up over the next two years, Shaw allows himself to believe that maybe he has seen the end of the Jane the Ripper murders. As it turns out, what he thought was the end was only the beginning. His hunt will take him across the country, and even when he thinks he's finally discovered the truth, he quickly learns that not everything is as it seems. That not every monster is created equal. That the nature of good and evil is not as black and white as he has always believed. That not everything that is broken can be put back together. That not every fractured soul can be saved. When blood, smoke and ashes rise, no one comes out the same on the other side. You can find it here at Amazon |

My two latest are available for Kindle.
The Lake House ($1.99) - When a couple goes away to fight for their marriage, they little expected it’d mean fighting for their lives. A potboiler of sex, violence, marital strife, and a couple under siege. Note: This is a novella of 25,000 words, or approx. 100 printed pages. Goliath ($2.99) - Flora Lichtman had it all – the boyfriend, a job with the storied law firm of Bart, Grabek & Morse and upward mobility. But when hard times threaten to shutter the firm, everything turns upside-down. Salvation comes in the form Jack Jarvis, the notorious schmoozer and rainmaker, who promises to turn it all right-side-up. But Jarvis is also a prima donna and when Flora finds herself assigned to ‘mind’ him, she sees firsthand the fool’s errand this stroke of genius can be. Goliath might not be fit for polite society, but it’s never less-than entertaining. Don't be afraid to check them out - hope you like 'em! |

Quirky Golf Fiction - "The Right Side of the Fairway"
If you might enjoy an offbeat golf story, I hope you'll consider The Right Side of the Fairway. Quirky Golf Fiction – Ben Richards lives for the weekend when he can have fun with his eccentric friends at the golf course affectionately nicknamed Hackin' Oaks. The hapless hacker is miraculously transformed into a PGA-caliber golfer when struck on the head by a wayward ball. This incident changes the direction of his life both on and off the course. Now living every golf addict's fantasy as a pro, Ben is befriended by both the top-ranked player in the world and the most powerful man in the industry. Then tragedy strikes. Forced to adapt to new challenges, he evaluates his priorities and realizes there's more to life than just golf. Ben must learn the true value of friends, community, and the healing power of love before he can resume his passionate affair with the game he treasures. eBook (DRM-free and properly formatted): Kindle: US | UK | Germany | France | Italy | Spain | India | Brazil | Canada B&N ePub: US | UK Paperback: Amazon: US | UK | Germany | France | Italy | Spain | CreateSpace (268 pages) Last edited by DreamWriter; 07-01-2017 at 11:39 PM. |
