Caligula Reincarnated: a Novel

December 25, 2018 By eReader Nation

WARNING: While there is no gratuitous sex or violence in this book, Caligula, in real life, was a vile, murderous person who made his victims suffer. Some of the fictionalized accounts of his actual deeds are here. Some parts, not for squeamish.

“Caligula is a perfect monster: nuanced, well-written, an iconic villain.” San Francisco Chronicle

History’s most blood-thirsty killer is blessed and cursed with crippled immortality. Caligula is reborn time and again. Each reincarnation’s single purpose; to satisfy sociopathic desires.
Sarah Warner, a terminally ill, reluctant psychic, accidentally releases the two-thousand-year-old spirit of Marcus, the Roman Caligula imprisoned to obtain immortality. Marcus shares Sarah’s mind and the two form an unbreakable bond. They set out to find the current generation’s Caligula reincarnated and end his timeless reign of terror.
They track him to the island of Capri where his mega yacht is moored; a floating torture chamber for young men and women lured to horrible deaths.
Sarah and Marcus must face Caligula’s soul, not here, but in a spiritual plane, one Caligula knows well.

“It has been decades since I’ve read a character with Caligula’s depth and evil,” Herbie Brennan, The Irish Times
“It is a rare author who can truly write heroes and monsters equally well, Peek succeeds.” SF Chronicle
“Imposing, dark, twisted – Peek gives us a true sense of malice few writers can muster.” Publishers Weekly

$1.99 on Kindle.

Avenue of Regrets

December 22, 2018 By eReader Nation

What would you do if you discovered that the tragic deaths of your family seven years ago were not as they had seemed? How far will you go to uncover the truth?

The brand new mystery-suspense thriller hailed by Publishers Weekly as, “An Engrossing novel of Domestic Suspense. A fast-paced tale of murder Worthy of Hitchcock.”

There are defining moments in people’s lives; times forever etched in our minds. For David Wallace, there was no worse time than receiving the news of the deaths of his wife and infant son while confined to a jail cell on false murder charges.

“A hard-hitting examination of regrets, atonement, and acknowledging sins committed and those imagined.” –Midwest Book Reviews

Seven years later, David is the director of a shelter for battered women, and he thinks his dark days are behind him. But he is still haunted by the indiscretion which changed his world forever. Then he meets a strangely familiar woman at a bar who tells him that everything that happened seven years ago was not as it had seemed.

This revelation throws David into a world of corruption, violence, and human trafficking that he never knew existed. Targeted by the detective who tried to put him away seven years ago and relying on the rock-solid relationships with his attorney and staff, David vows to find out what truly happened.

“Greed, violence, and the hope of redemption are the defining themes of Avenue of Regrets, a non-stop action thriller.” –Foreword Reviews

But there are dark forces at play, demanding a reckoning. Besieged by past demons, David discovers crimes so heinous, and so far-reaching, they threaten to propel him down another Avenue of Regrets. $5.99 on Kindle.
