I've recently released the third book in my modern-day interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, The Stepping Stone Cycle. Titled Drowned, it continues the story of Dr. Jack Carter's search for his missing wife through the supernatural. Reviewers have called the previous two episodes "an interesting twist on presenting Cthulhu Mythos fiction" and "an entertaining and quick read."

Drowned
Forensic psychologist Dr. Jack Carter has had to question his sanity -- a year's worth of memory lost, his wife, Sarah, missing and himself the prime suspect. His most recent cases have led him to meet beings he could only classify as supernatural. Called to consult on a mother's mental health after she confesses to drowning her five children, Jack finds there's more to the death of these kids than a fanatically religious mother's fractured grasp of reality. Every turn in the case leads him to face the truth -- a powerful entity known only as The Sleeper is spreading a murderous corruption throughout the world. Can Jack survive its terrible pull and discover the truth about what happened to Sarah?
