He currently is focusing on crime stories of justice, vengeance, and redemption.

Book Review of Dreamwalker by Carrie Cotten

Dreamwalker by Carrie Cotten

This story features all three, justice, vengeance, and redemption. It’s book one of a Christian suspense series. There are interesting supernatural elements in this story.
