Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Frosty the Snowman. A Christmas Carol. In each generation a story is born that shapes the minds of millions. This one will warp those minds, incredibly. When Richard Swerlin, the United States only openly Vampire Congressman, receives a letter from a little girl, he really wants to ignore it. After all, five year old kids don't vote, and only a few of the words are legible at all. No one would blame him for setting it aside. Except that the letter has things only a few might recognize. The words "help" for instance as well as, "Greater Demon", and a scent of pure fear. A Vampire is no match for a Greater Demon though, so he has to turn to the one being that might aid him in this task. The Mistress of Souls. The most feared Greater Demon of them all. Now Richard and a ragtag group of unusual characters must seek to not only save little Maci, but Santa Claus himself, and if they fail, it isn't just an orphaned child that dies, but the spirit of the season.

Have you ever loved so someone so much you'd do anything for them, even if they didn't know you were alive? That's how Josh feels about Amy, as if his heart will rip out of his chest every time he looks at her. But they're just friends, and she already has a boyfriend. So he does the only thing he can. He backs off and leaves her to someone better than he is. That's the plan at least, even though it hurts, almost to the point he can't take it anymore. Only now he's gotten a Christmas card from her, asking why he's been so distant, and at the same time a strange notebook shows up, filled with the thoughts and feelings of those around him. The cover simply says "Crayons". By reading it he figures out that his school friends are much different than he thinks, more complex and troubled than they ever seemed before, and works out that the only person he's ever loved may be in danger. From herself. (Book replaced by "Josh and Amy: Something To Think About...")

"The value of a good mystery grows with time, because secrets are meant to be uncovered. Including the greatest one of all..." It can be a hard bounce, hitting rock bottom and then starting back up in the world, but Jason Hadley is doing it. Slowly, and without much dignity at times, he's managing to claw his way skyward again. Working as a clown isn't the only way to do that, but it's a way, beats crime, and too few colleges are hiring good history professors anymore. When his best friends, Carlos and Wendy, get him a stage gig in Las Vegas it seems like a dream come true. Until his past comes calling, haunting him with old enemies, and a dead client, all trying to tear him back down into the gutter. Because a killer clown is on the loose, and Jay is the only game that way in his hometown. It's both a natural connection for the Sheriff to make, and an obvious frame up job. The question then is; who would bother going after a kids' entertainer? More than that; what kind of person would do it dressed up like a bozo? When it comes time to catch a clown, it might just take one to get the job done. One with ten faces and a hundred tricks, as well as a love of mysteries that won't let him quite until he understands the most important question of all. Why?

(Ties in with Keeley Thomson & Other Places but is separate from both series.) Becky Hoader is totally and truly in love with her friend Mitch. The only problem is that to him she's always just been one of the gang, if that. Now with the end of her high school career coming fast she has very little time to change the situation at all, before all hope is gone. Unfortunately Mitch loves Keeley Thomson, the new girl in school who's everything a guy could want. Thin, pretty and smart, all rolled into one perfect Mitch fantasy fulfilling package. It would be enough to make a girl hate her, if it weren't for the fact that Keeley is one of Becky's new best friends, and willing to do some truly outrageous things to help her get the man of her dreams. In the end this is a story about coming of age in the modern world, dealing with the fact that adulthood hits us all, and the knowledge that love, while powerful, can sometimes be far different than what it first seems. (Contains some content of a sexual nature)

Every year we celebrate Thanksgiving. The most boring of all the major holidays. For most it means a pleasant (or not so happy) night with the relatives. A full meal with all the trimmings, or at least an evening at a Chinese restaurant. For some though it means darker things... Like having to leave the comforts of a very nice home in the suburbs to serve food to the homeless for an entire meal. This is the story of one such family, and their new friends, working at a soup kitchen one Thanksgiving. It turns out to be a lot less then boring, and in the end, they'll all understand what they have to truly be thankful for. ** Note: This story is a "quick read novella". That means it's about a quarter of the size of a regular novel and it's a perfect story to get you into the holiday mood, and pass off to other family members!

Unrelenting Terror

Stand Alone Books - Book 7

Publication Date: July 8, 2012     Pages: ~135

  Icon for Kindle Page Link   Icon for Goodreads Page Link   Icon for PS Power Forum Link   Icon for Enlarging Cover

This is a tale about a person very like yourself, who has lost the only person they've ever loved and seeks the power to get them back. But there is a price for doing some things, and it must be paid in full. Always. Special note from the author: This book is literally meant to cause you to experience a haunting. Don't say you weren't warned later. Don't complain to Amazon to have the positive reviews removed either, just because it's too scary for you. Things will happen to you, some of them far more intense than you expect, and it's your own choice. Then again, life isn't meant to be held at arms length, but rather lived to the fullest. This is a great place to start expanding horizons.

What is evil? Born into privilege, Connor Harriman should have had the best life could offer anyone. Instead he found himself packed off to an all-boys boarding school, where he was tortured and abused. "For his own good." Well past the point that any normal person would have broken forever. A thing that he has to fear happened. When he developed the power to force anyone near him to tell the truth, a thing he had no control over at all, he was kicked out. Sent home, in disgrace, only to find that the situation there, in his father's mansion, was very different than he could imagine. Now, inducted into a secret society made out of the richest and most powerful people in the world, Connor has to use all his powers and diabolical training to both survive and to protect the world he lives in. By killing everyone. Because the choice he is given has him doing exactly that or dying and while he might be willing to consider the idea of escaping the easy way, it only makes sense for him to take out a few other people along the way. Especially those who set the plans in motion in the first place. (NOTE: There is an updated, reworked/re-released version of this previously published book: The Story of a Young Supervillain.

Part horror, part-self help, this book will change your life... Do you dare read it? In the mid-to late seventies, in a secret underground laboratory, in Soviet Russia, one man was tasked with finding a way to protect his country from the Americans. The Method was his response. A simple way for any man or woman to unlock the secrets of the mind, to push themselves to a level that made them nearly super human. It worked beyond reason. It was, in the end, a mistake. This, then, is the story of that program, as seen through the eyes of an outsider, twenty years later. This is, of course, a work of fiction. Even the parts that aren't fictional at all. Read this as a story, or use it for your own ends. The time for hiding has come to an end. Now is the time for something... More.

How is a Villain created? Connor Harriman knows. Firsthand. Abuse. Torture. Faith in a goal that knows no boundaries... Kicked out of his elite boarding school, Connor is forced to return home to his father. A place that he’s never been before, with a man he's rarely met. From there, he's thrust into a world of dark secrets and plans to take over the world. More correctly, to destroy it. A thing that, in over a thousand years, no one has ever managed. They keep failing at the last moment, some force or coalition stopping them from saving the planet.
