The Earth is dying and his mom along with it. As the human race hurtles toward extinction, Bryce has no idea how to stop it. He needs a miracle. Or a hero. Or a visionary. This is the story of how he was forced to become all three.
Bryce and his twin brothers, Zion and Reef, struggle to survive in a world spiraling toward complete climate destruction. When their decision to launch themselves off a cliff results in an unexpected detour into a realm of mythical creatures, they are thrust into a frantic race against Spacetime.
Hunted by savage beasts, rescued by a mysterious Giant Lady, and confronted by Fairy warriors, they must quickly decipher the hidden truths buried in fairy tales or they are certain to perish in this strange land. Will they be able to save their mom, restore humanity and return to heal planet Earth in time? The main problem is, they must defeat an invincible dragon to steal its magical heart. The only thing at stake is their mother's life. Oh, and of course, the entire human race.
With nothing but their wits, determination and love for one another, the boys evade soul sucking Banshees, navigate a Minotaur's underground labyrinth, and capture a unicorn, before even reaching the dragon's lair. When they finally have mustered the courage to slay the dragon, a secret is revealed that changes everything. We are far from alone in the universe. We all have lived many lives. And we are all connected through the magical hearts of dragons. Now the brothers must decide whether to sacrifice billions of lives in order to save their own.
POSSESSION
Available on Amazon.com
"All my life I knew I'd end up killing." Excerpts from journals of a psychopath, mutilated Barbie dolls, taunting notes planted at body dumps, and symbolically gruesome displays of decapitated women, are all pieces of a twisted serial killer's masterpiece that Dr. Sara Chioti is asked to analyze as part of her psychological profile. Dr. Chioti is a forensic psychologist consulting with the FBI and NYPD to track a prolific killer in Manhattan. As she delves into his psychopathic mind, her own sanity begins to slip. She is tormented by recurrent nightmares about the murder of her lover, Anna Belle, a renowned country singer, and reeling in anxiety and grief. As Dr. Chioti becomes a victim of a particularly tenacious stalker, she fears that she has become the next target of the serial killer the media branded "The Executioner" and doubts whether she can sufficiently control her panic to solve the case. The serial killer personalizes his game by kidnapping, torturing, and slaying professional women similar in key characteristics to Dr. Chioti and then displaying the decapitated bodies in a disturbingly grisly fashion. He repeatedly goads police by leaving bizarre clues at the crime scenes and writing mocking letters to the detectives. As events unfold, Dr. Chioti struggles to maintain her professional composure when she realizes the profiler has now become the profiled. Dr. Chioti and her partner, FBI Special Agent Steele, frantically attempt to decipher the cryptic messages the ruthless killer inserts in his crime scene displays and interpret his bizarre taunts before he strikes again.
