Ghost Soldiers Come Alive for Haunted Teens

St. Augustine, Florida  - Sliding Beneath the Surface - a teen novel – paranormal and historical, Book I of The St. Augustine Trilogy.

Description

In America’s oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida, teenager Jeff Golden is in trouble. Horrible dreams won’t let him sleep, and he is up to his eyeballs in terrifying, paranormal experiences.

Finally, Jeff turns to his girlfriend Carla, and Lobo, the mysterious Native American shaman, for help. But what he discovers is a lot more than he bargained for.

A ghostly presence linked to a local historic cemetery is not only threatening Jeff’s sanity but his life as well. And before he knows what’s happening, Jeff finds both himself and Carla pulled into one of the nastiest and bloody events in Florida history. It is a place from which they may never escape.

Stepping Off a Cliff Review # 24

 ”A Modern Day Zombie Story.” The St. Augustine Trilogy, Book II, for Young Adults and Adults Young at Heart.

A review placed on Amazon by BJPedigo.

“Stepping Off the cliff by Doug Dillon is another book that I started to read and I couldn’t put down. I didn’t know what to expect on each page. It is a true thriller.

“This book is the second book in the trilogy by Dillon. You don’t have to read the first book to understand the second book. The same characters, Jeff, Carla and Lobo, return to save the oldest town in Florida from disaster.

“Modern day zombies start to take over the city and it’s up to our heroes to stop them.

“Dillon uses facts and historical dates in his story. These are added in the author’s notes. This is a bonus.

“Not only is it a fun story, it is educational. He uses actual locations from the city of St. Augustine. For example, the beautiful Caryatids are located inside the Flagler College.

“This is a recommended book for young readers and anybody who wants to read a good book. I look forward to reading book three in The St. Augustine Trilogy.”

Stepping Off a Cliff Review # 23

“A page turner.” The St. Augustine Trilogy, Book II, for Young Adults and Adults Young at Heart.

A review placed on Amazon.com by CARR

“This was a great follow up to Sliding beneath the Surface. It jumps right into the story but continues to be a page turner.

“Even if you haven’t read the first in the series you could still get into this one because Doug gives you enough background to help you get a feel for this one yet doesn’t give the other one away.

“In fact it makes you want to read the other one if you hadn’t when you’re done with this one.

:Great job Doug! Looking forward to book III.”
