IT'S ISLAND TIME!!!!!
Summer is almost here……and it's ISLAND TIME!!!
Yes, MATEGUAS ISLAND is now available on Amazon for a limited time promotional price of only 99 cents!
MATEGUAS, a tale of supernatural terror and suspense, has received eleven written reviews and 32 ratings for an overall average of 4.94 stars! The most notable review received is that from Diane Donovan of the MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW. Diane has the following to say about MATEGUAS:
"Native American folklore blends with a tale of suspense and horror in the multifaceted Mateguas Island, the story of the Anderson family who is forced to relocate to rural Maine where they face a rising evil that could destroy not only their family, but the world...Readers are drawn in from the start by a variety of elements; from innuendos about the island's Native American myths to your typical story of relocation and adjustment and especially its effects on the two Anderson children, who find that their explorations uncover dangers they couldn't have seen coming...Now, most stories of terror involve elements outside of the family: Mateguas Island employs a device other authors (most notably Stephen King in his classic novel The Shining) have successfully used in placing danger both outside and within the family structure..Surprising twists and turns and a powerful old box filled with magic: these are the elements of a fine horror story that slowly builds its plot with believable protagonists and engrossing color.
"Any who like horror stories and gothic fiction will find Mateguas Island an exceptional read."
