Four Releases!
These next four months are going to be busy. I plan on releasing four titles--that is the plan anyway. PLAGUE, the sequel to GARGOYLES, and book two in the Resurrection Trilogy series will be published later this month, or early Feb. I've decided to release a children's story as well. RETURN TO UNDERLAND will be my first foray into juvenile literature and will be directed at 8 to 12 year old readers. The story revolves around two young explorers who discover a cave where all the extinct animals of the world still exist. Then in March, I plan to contribute to The Eclective's CELTIC COLLECTION--an anthology of Irish and St. Patrick's Day short stories. Look for this--it should be good. And finally, April is the release month for my Samhain published novel GIRL BLUE, the erotic supernatural story of a terminally-ill sculptor slowly going insane. I'm looking forward to getting these books out and hope everyone who reads them will find the stories entertaining.

PLAGUE
The cover for PLAGUE, my second book in the Resurrection Trilogy series, is ready to be uploaded. Received the final edits back today on the manuscript and Thursday I should be finished reviewing them. Then the book is off to the formatter. Sometime in January, Amoreena Daniels will return--only you thought she was in a predicament in GARGOYLES, wait until you read what happens in PLAGUE! Should be interesting. Amoreena's one tough character, though. She'll make it--or will she?

GIRL BLUE closer to release!
Just received the edits from Samhain Publishing. Went over them, made a few changes, and sent them back. GIRL BLUE is that much closer to a release. Looking forward to seeing what the response will be to this erotic supernatural thriller. Jeremy Copper carves the most beautiful nude women in stone since the masters of aniquity. Now he's dying. This is one bizarre story.

GIRL BLUE storyline!
Jeremy Copper, renowned sculptor whose works grace multi-million dollar estates and world famous museum halls, has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He has fourteen months to live. His only goal now is to complete a sculpture he’s christened Girl Blue. She will be his legacy. He’s purchased a rare block of azul pegaso granite from a quarry in Brazil.
First he utilizes smaller clay models to begin the process of finding Girl Blue’s final pose. He draws comely models—some he’s met in massage studios, one in particular, Elisa Marie, is a former student. All the models are presented without clothing—which is Mr. Copper’s specialty—carving the female form in the nude.
Jeremy receives a mysterious package from the rock quarry in Brazil where the granite was mined. The letter is in Portuguese, but with Elisa Marie’s help, the article is translated. They learn the former owner of the great stone was a woman named Franscesca who lived in Brazil in the 1920’s. She was a feiticiera, or witch doctor. She loved a talented young sculptor who promised to carve her likeness in the stone. When he betrayed her love, she drugged him and hacked off his hands. Before she could escape, Franscesca was captured and brutally maimed, tortured, and left to die.
Jeremy begins to understand it’s Franscesca’s spirit who haunts the block. He begins to fear for his sanity when he finds flakes of granite in his bedroom and in his studio. Late at night, he hears strange noises coming from his locked studio. The sculpture continues to progress, even in his absence. It’s impossible—the sculpture is sculpting herself! But this new frightening version is not what Jeremy had envisioned.
When the tumor robs him of his ability to carve, Elisa Marie, whom Jeremy is falling in love with, assists him in sculpting his creation. However each time she comes over and she and Jeremy make love, Franscesca’s evil spirit blossoms in heated rage and jealousy, leading Jeremy into a battle not only for his legacy, but for the life of the woman he loves.
And from out of the rare block of azul pegaso granite, Girl Blue arises!

Plague Synopsis!
Below is the synopsis to PLAGUE, the sequel to my novel GARGOYLES. PLAGUE is book two in the Resurrection Trilogy series. The PLAGUE cover is being designed as you read this...
In seven days, modern civilization will come to a jolting halt.
Unaware she stands on the brink of a global catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude, Amoreena Daniels embarks on a goodwill mission to the Yucatan jungles of southern Mexico. Four years have passed since her involuntary participation in a diabolical transgenic cloning experiment and subsequent narrow escape from the Las Canas research facility buried deep in the Guatemalan rainforests. In PLAGUE, the riveting sequel to the science fiction thriller, GARGOYLES, Amoreena is ready to move on with her life. She’s on the verge of graduating from UCLA medical school and set to begin a prestigious residency at Stanford.
Only weeks before her graduation, Amoreena and her new boyfriend, Dr. Robert Kincaid, an ambitious ophthalmologist, join the Flying Samaritans and fly to the Yucatan where they will deliver care to the poor. Early in the trip, though, Amoreena and the other Samaritans are caught totally unprepared by the massive spread of illness. In one night, all of Amoreena’s coworkers succumb horribly to enferma de diablo, the devil’s sickness. Before her eyes, people become monsters; insanity, cannibalism, grotesque physical transformations are hallmarks of this rampant disease. An entire village is wiped out.
The contagion is a highly infectious gene altering viron, inadvertently released by Dr. Ross Becker’s organization, Amoreena’s nemesis from GARGOYLES, and has spread globally. This primitive virus-like protein is a ticking time bomb programmed to detonate at zero-time, the point maximum virulence is reached and everyone exposed will be altered. The vast majority will die. Amoreena reunites with her companions from Las Canas, and together they must flee for their lives. But this time there is no place to run. No place is safe. While attempting to save her own life, Amoreena is suddenly confronted with another startling revelation—one that just might hold the key to the salvation of mankind!
Fasten your seat belts, close your eyes, and pray like hell, because the world as we know it is coming to an end!
