In the dead of night...

...ominous knockings echo through the stillness, ghostly apparitions lurk in the shadows, and an unspeakable malevolence courses through the very walls of Steven's home. Murdered children from a dark past are haunting his every step.

As the relentless apparitions intensify, they must confront the sinister riddle concealed within Steven’s home. A malevolence far more insidious than they could have fathomed lies buried, and they must reconcile their differences and trust each other if they are to stand against the evil that lurks within the rooms and hallways of Steven's dwelling.

Steven and Roy believe they removed the ghosts haunting Steven’s home…

…but did they?

The supernatural forces at work in Steven’s home were powerful, engaged in a battle that had gone on for many years. Other entities – some benign, others more sinister – were drawn to that battle, and although the ghosts may have been driven out, it appears other creatures remain.

While Steven and his father enlist an exterminator to finish cleansing the house, they unwittingly entangle themselves with another sinister force far greater than either of them can overcome.

Their hope lies in the services of a recluse on Whidbey Island, a man who may or may not be everything he claims.

Residual is a River series novella that occurs between the events of The Bank of The River and A Haunting In Oregon.

An isolated house. Ghosts in the windows. Something climbing the stairs.

Ron lands the home of his dreams, isolated on a rural mountain, away from the noise and crowds of the city. With the house in need of repairs, he works on fixing it up before his wife and son join him. Unfortunately, the more he repairs, the more problems he uncovers.

During the day, he works on the mundane: septic system, plumbing, electrical wiring. But when the night comes and a deep darkness settles on the lonely property, a whole new set of troubles develop: scratching at the windows, the sound of footsteps on the stairs, shadowy figures in the yard. Threats. Attacks.

Ron comes to realize the house is unsafe — not because of the physical problems, but because of the unseen. He needs to rid the building of whatever evil has taken hold, but there’s one huge obstacle: he doesn’t believe in ghosts. He’s a total skeptic.

His friend Jake helps with the repairs. Jake is more willing to accept that the nightmarish apparitions in the house are real, and his girlfriend Freedom attempts to cleanse the house. Her methods backfire, so she leaves, frightened, refusing to return to the house. She demands Jake leave too, but Ron convinces Jake not to abandon him.

Desperate to solve the haunting, Jake ropes in others who claim to have “the gift,” but they all fail, unable to confront and outwit the evil inside the house. While Ron and Jake try to uncover the mystery, they go on a frightening journey, eventually coming to terms with the mountain’s troubled history. An ugly, brutal war waged between two families still consumes the area, and Ron’s house is caught in the middle of it.

The Coldwater Haunting is a ghost novel of over 100,000 words. It contains chilling scenes some may find disturbing. Advance readers report the book interfering with their dreams…
