Book 9 of The River Series: “It Walks At Night” now on pre-sale
The ninth book in The River Series is titled It Talks At Night and will be released April 16, 2015. It’s available for pre-order at Amazon now. If you order today, it’ll be delivered to your Kindle or Kindle reading app automatically on the day of release.
In the quiet town of Clearlake, something dark and evil roams the streets at night, searching for a victim to haul into the forest and kill. When it targets Eliza’s son, forces are quickly aligned to fight it. Eliza asks for help from Steven and Roy, her friends in Seattle who have “the gift,” an ability to see things others cannot by entering a place called “The River.”
Their battle will take them to dark mausoleums and haunted groves. The answer may lie in the hands of a reclusive woman, a specialist in death… or it may revolve around a stalker, a man intent on creating an abomination.
Eliza, Steven, and Roy have worked together before, but the creatures that walk the streets of Clearlake will challenge them, bringing them to the edge of disaster.
It Walks At Night is a fast-paced horror/paranormal mystery, and the ninth book in The River series.

Announcing The Downwinders Book 3 – available now for pre order!
The Graves of Plague Canyon is now available for pre-order at Amazon! This is the next title in The Downwinders series. Here’s the book’s description:
Downwind: the area of the United States that received the brunt of the fallout from nuclear testing. As a result, humans developed cancers and congenital malformations… and so did the creatures in the River, the place where people with “the gift” see things others cannot.
Deem and Winn share this gift, and they are asked to help a young woman stricken with a mysterious ailment. The cure lies in the ancient cliff dwellings of Plague Canyon, hidden on the private property of a zealous and paranoid owner.
Warren, a rancher patrolling the canyon, shows an interest in Deem. She agrees to date him, hoping to manipulate him into letting her enter the ruins. Deem is surprised to find her interest in Warren becomes more than just a way into the canyon.
Winn is with her every step of the way as they explore treacherous mines and corpse-filled caves. Meanwhile, Carma and Lyman are planning a secret retaliation, and Deem is about to find herself in the middle of a deadly confrontation with Council forces.
The Graves of Plague Canyon is a fast-paced adventure with an unusual twist on the paranormal. It is the third book in The Downwinders series. Fans of The River series will find the unpredictable ghosts and mutations of the River even more frightening and terrifying in this place where surprises lurk around every corner, and deception is the order of the day.
Pre-order your copy today, and it’ll be delivered automatically to your Kindle (or Kindle reading app) on the day of release, March 17!

The Haunting at Grays Harbor available today!
Book 8 in The River series, The Haunting at Grays Harbor, is now available in Kindle and paperback formats!
The book description:
Barbara and her family’s new home overlooks the beautiful, dark waters of Grays Harbor. They live so close to the ocean, she can smell it from her front porch. From the outside, the home seems perfect. But inside, Barbara has called on her third priest, and he’s about to throw in the towel. The chilling apparitions in the house are terrorizing her daughters — and the local clergy! — and Barbara is desperate for help.
Steven has “the gift,” and along with his father, Roy, has offered to investigate — but a hired crew of ghostbusters from Seattle are in the way and making things worse. When Steven discovers a strange object in Barbara’s house, he and Roy realize the ghostbusting outfit are about to unwittingly set in motion a series of events that will heighten the family’s horrors.
Grays Harbor is only minutes from Eximere, and Steven and Roy discover things are not normal there either. Large pieces of the strange underground estate are disappearing, and Steven and Roy are desperate to find out why. They’ll have to dig deeper into the mystery of James Unser and the bizarre world he constructed if they’re to save Eximere from oblivion.
The Haunting at Grays Harbor is a fast-paced paranormal mystery, and the eighth book in The River series. It can be read stand-alone.

The River continues: New Steven/Roy book available for pre-sale now!
I’m thrilled to announce that the latest book in The River series, The Haunting at Grays Harbor, is now available for pre-order at Amazon!
The book releases on January 29, but if you pre-order today, it’ll be automatically delivered to your Kindle (or device of your choice) on the day of release.

This is Book 8 in The River series. As with most of the books in this series, they can be read stand-alone, but are better enjoyed if you’ve read the previous books. In this case, I’d suggest reading Eximere first, but, really, why not read them all? 
I hope you enjoy this latest entry in the series, and be sure to let me know what you think of it by leaving reviews at Amazon!

The River continues: Next Steven/Roy book complete!
It’s been a few weeks, thought I’d check in with you and see if you’ve got everything in order for the holidays. No? Well, neither do I. But I am enjoying the season. Homemade chex mix – mmm mmm. Hope you are enjoying things, too.
It’s always exciting to get emails from my readers. Today I received an email asking when the next book in The River series would be ready. “I’m dying here!” it said. What timing! I thought. I just finished writing it, yesterday! No kidding! And good thing, too. I don’t want any of my readers to expire on me!!!
Now it goes into the editing process, which will take a while, but I’m expecting it to be available for pre-order soon. While I’ve ordered a ton of things via pre-order on Amazon over the years, this will be the first time I’ll be on the other end of things – listing the book in advance. Apparently if you pre-order the Kindle book, it’ll be automatically delivered to your Kindle on the day of release. Imagine, cranking up your Kindle at the end of a long day, and -poof!- there’s a new Steven and Roy book!
As soon as the pre-order is available, I’ll shoot out an email to everyone on my email list. If you haven’t signed up for my list, please do, because there’s a Steven/Roy novella coming that will be made available only to people on the email list. And I don’t use the list for anything other than new release announcements.
On another front, the first book in The River series, The Bank of the River, is specially priced at Amazon (and soon at Apple iBooks, and Barnes and Noble Nook) for just 99 cents. If you have a friend who’s been thinking of jumping into The River, now would be an excellent time to gift them this book! It’s on sale through January 2.
OK – that’s all for now. More on the new book as the pre-order comes together and the editing finishes up! Have a great weekend.
