A CHRISTMAS HAUNTING AT POINT NO POINT is available for pre-order now!

This is a stand-alone novel, and no prior reading is necessary to enjoy it.

Here’s the book description:

Steven’s brother and his family have come to visit for the holidays. Looking for a relaxing and quiet location to enjoy the scenic beauty of Puget Sound, Steven chooses Point No Point, the oldest lighthouse in the region. Here, the lighthouse keeper’s quarters have been remodeled into a vacation rental, and it seems to be the perfect location.

Perfect, if your idea of quiet is loud thumpings coming from the abandoned museum next door. Perfect, if your idea of relaxing is a slow, creeping infection emanating from the shipwrecks just off the shore.

In this stand-alone novel, Steven and his father Roy find their picturesque Christmas holiday turning into a family nightmare as they unravel the haunted secrets from the deadly shores of Point No Point.

A Christmas Haunting at Point No Point is the eleventh novel in The River series, but no prior knowledge of the series is required to enjoy it.

I’ve always wanted to have Steven and Roy in a holiday setting, where the peaceful, contented pace of family and Christmas could be jarringly disrupted by something ghostly and terrifying.

Christmas is, after all, as much about the past as it is about the present. Sometimes the past insists on being heard, regardless of how much we try to ignore it.

I wanted this episode in The River series to be independent of much of the current storyline that’s converging between all three series ­­— like a pause, a rest…a breather from the norm, like Christmas itself.

The events in The Cycle of the Shen and The Blood Gardener will continue to develop after the holiday, I promise! For now, I’m enjoying spending some time with Roy and Steven, his brother Bernard, Bernard’s wife Marlene, and their daughter Emily, as they survive their Christmas amongst the foggy environs of the Kitsap Peninsula, and the oldest lighthouse in Puget Sound: Point No Point.

Thank you for following me, and I hope this new story adds to the warmth of your holiday.

(Well, maybe not warmth, exactly…)

Blood Oath, Blood River, the first book in The Downwinders series, is available FREE at Amazon now through November 2.

Pick up a copy and jump into this twisted version of the River, where the radioactive fallout of the desert southwest have made the ghosts more frightening and unpredictable!

 

The second book in The Dark River series, The Blood Gardener, is available now at Amazon.

Here’s the book description:

In the real world, Derick is just a retired cop; but in the Dark River, he’s public enemy number one, living in a land of ghosts.

Most people with the gift won’t enter the Dark River. It’s a disturbing place of evil, where it’s easy to lose oneself in its depraved pleasures – or die in the jaws of a horrifying creature.

Though Derick isn’t gifted, he’s found a way to enter the Dark River, but only to pay the bills: people pay him to go there and extract loved ones from its clutches.

After an extraction goes wrong, Derick becomes a wanted man. Wanted for helping rebels. Wanted for murdering Yann, the great torturer. Wanted for destroying an entire town by fire.
Derick also finds himself the de facto father of A, a monochild with secrets of his own.

Derick’s journey takes him to the gory graveyard of The Blood Gardener, where he forms an uneasy alliance. Will this help him destroy the forces determined to hunt him down?

The Blood Gardener is a fast-paced paranormal mystery, filled with strange twists and turns in a macabre setting. It’s the second book in The Dark River series, set in the same universe as its companion series, The Downwinders and The River.
