About this author

description: On a hot summer day in Central Florida, a young man discovers a bloodied body in a field behind the repair shop where he works. Grisly and twisted, the body leaves few clues as to the offender, some questioning if such a horrible end could actually come at the hands of another. The young, struggling writer with the crummy landscaping job who found the body never expected what his find would lead to, nor the friendship he would develop with the fellow writer and crypto-zoologist interested in the...more
