Echo from a Bayou

NEW RELEASE!

MURDER, TREASURE, AND A SUPERNATURAL TWIST COLLIDE IN THIS HIGH CONCEPT SUSPENSE THRILLER

Approaching middle age with an overwhelming sense of disappointment is not what John Bastian envisioned for himself. Hoping to shake his despair and change his luck, John hits the ski slopes, plunging headlong into an accident that leaves him in a coma.

Post-coma John may seem physically well, but mentally he is a changed man, different in ways too bizarre to explain to others. Something like a dream, but more like a memory, clings to his psyche. Unshakable visions of a cursed treasure, a brutal ax attack, and a vibrant red-head consume his thoughts, propelling him toward a dangerous future that feels as inevitable as his past.

John sets out on a journey to find answers and hunt down the man who murdered him in his past life. Faced with danger at every turn and with a hurricane fast approaching, John must fight for his survival and the safety of those he loves. With threats haunting him at every turn, will he find redemption, or will he be consumed by his quest for revenge?

The Dead Giveaway: A Ghost Story in the High Desert

The Dead Giveaway: A Ghost Story in the High Desert
This is the story of a recently released patient from an institution for the criminally insane. He had been diagnosed as bipolar when, in fact, he does see and hear ghosts. The Ghost is based on a historical figure, William Keys, who was instrumental in the development of Joshua Tree National Park. Keys spent five years in prison after being unjustly convicted of murder.

Lewis Price has a big problem. After single-handedly thwarting a bank robbery, he is expected to give testimony during the upcoming trial, since he is the only reliable eyewitness to the robbery attempt. The district attorney has gone missing, and the assistant DA has reservations regarding whether Lewis will hold up on the stand since he has only recently been released from a mental institution. According to his medical records, Lewis Price is bipolar.

None of the above is his big problem. In actuality, Lewis is not bipolar. The people he sees and hears—that no one around him sees or hears—are not figments of his imagination. Lewis has a rare gift, or is it a curse? He can see and hear ghosts. There is an insistent ghost in the high desert community of Joshua Tree who requires assistance, and Lewis Price is his choice to assist. $0.99 on Kindle.
