BLURB: Roy Walker is curious. But in a world where knowledge has disappeared, curiosity will get you killed.

Generations ago, the Passim Virus wiped out most of humanity. The survivors banded together to form the Territory and, now, decades later, no one questions why knowledge has disappeared. Why should they? They’re lucky to be alive.

But Roy doesn’t feel so lucky. He’s haunted by the murder of his father and he’s ostracized by everyone in town. He asks way too many questions, especially about the water pumped out by the town’s desalination plant.

Then Roy finds a tantalizing clue that leads him down the coast of what used to be the state of Oregon. He’s stunned at what he discovers. Everything in the Territory is a lie and everything around him is a front. But to uncover the dark secret behind this front, Roy must venture deeper into the wilderness where marauders and the deadly Passim Virus wait to kill.

It’s there, outside the Territory, where he discovers the truth about his father’s murder and where he meets his unexpected destiny — To free humanity from the bondage of a powerful enemy.

BLURB: On the surface, Sunshine Valley appears to be an idyllic small town in Arizona’s picturesque Sonoran desert. When Adam and Eve Iverson, a retired married couple, move to this seemingly peaceful community, they have every intention of pursuing their individual passions.  Then, one day, their plans are disrupted when they discover the body of Olive Howell, the most disliked and feared woman in the valley, floating in the community hot tub.  

 
In the days that follow, the main topic of conversation in Sunshine Valley revolves around the death of Olive Howell. At first, her death is ruled accidental, but this pronouncement doesn’t sit well with the Iversons. Driven by her intuition and keen perceptiveness, Eve begins to sort through a series of clues that indicate murder, and soon discovers that several people had strong motives and opportunities to kill Olive. Based on his own reasoning, Adam begins a separate investigation. Following their individual instincts and hunches, and by cleverly sorting through all the facts, Adam and Eve work together to ferret out who among the seemingly harmless residents of Sunshine Valley could have created the HOT TUB OF DEATH.

Surprise in the Mailbox

by | Mar 17, 2014 | ,

I went to get the mail Friday afternoon and there was a box inside the mailbox. I had a book coming so I figured it was that. As I’m walking up the driveway, excited to see the book (cover I designed), I notice it felt weird the way it moved inside the box. Curious, I pause in the middle of the driveway next to my car. I set the other mail down on the trunk and start opening the box.

I peek inside and see packing paper. Completely perplexed (cause really, who “packs” a book?) I tip the box and two heavy, identically wrapped things push the paper out of the way and fall out into my hands. Box, paper, mail..all forgotten, I quickly unwrap thing one.

The sun glints off the shiny glass as my eyes try to focus on what it said. A slew of inappropriate, yet excited words [loudly] spew out of my mouth as I quickly grab the second and unwrap it. I’m pretty sure the neighbors were trying to see over the hedges as to what caused the outburst, but I was already racing into the house to grab my phone to take a picture.

What was in the box you ask? I’ll show you! (yes that’s the pic I ran inside to take. I know, I’m a photographer too, I could’ve set up a nicer shot, used an actual camera, played with some lighting…etc, but I’m a lazy photographer!)

To be completely honest, I have been so busy lately I had completely forgotten the E.P.I.C. Award ceremony was this weekend. To say it was a shock is an understatement. Unfortunately I hadn’t registered for EPICon this year, so I guess this is their way of still keeping the surprise in finding out you won. I had always wondered how they notified the winners that weren’t there, now I know! It’s probably for the best anyways, considering my reaction when I opened the box. Better to scream expletives in the privacy of your driveway where only the neighbors think you’re crazy, than in a room full of your peers…right?

So that’s my exciting news! I am officially an “Award Winning” Cover Artist lol Oh! and if you are curious about the covers that won me these beauties,  here they are:

*****

BLURB: For Steve, Sophia, Dave, and Brooke, life hasn’t turned out as planned. Rather than easy fame and fortune, these happy-go-lucky teenagers of the 1980’s found young adulthood a mystifying series of dead-end jobs, failed relationships, family scandal, and surging frustration.

Now approaching middle age, all they want is to reverse their gradual alienation from life and one another, reconnecting with their earlier, innocent selves.

But there’s a catch. Before any of them can move forward, they must collectively confront that one outrageous night back in college that first drove them apart, revealing secrets potentially shattering everything they ever were.

If you’ve ever wondered why life is so much harder than you ever dreamed, the promised land always just out of reach, then The Bull Years is an experience not to be missed.
