My new release MEET ME IN MAINE(Book One of The Blue Harbor Series) brings murder, mystery, and romance to a seaside town.
Sit back, put up your feet, and let me bring mystery and romance to your lives.
I used to have a lot of fur. Then I read about evil and death. I read Edgar Allan Poe’s books. I hid under the bed. Then The Dead came to me in a dream. In a dream called The Dead Game. They came alive at night for parties. Parties that left bloodless victims in their path. I don’t want to become one of their victims. Now you know what happened to my fur. Beware of The Dead and their games.
We came to the party with our friends. We were attacked by circular saws and pointy cages descending from the basement ceiling. We made it through the traps to the other side of the basement. A door opened in the wall and we ran through. We don’t know where we are. Where are our friends? All we hear are moans, all we see is darkness, and all we can feel is coldness. Someone please help us! The town’s lost friends—another evil game of The Dead.

Linda and her three friends were beginning to realize that their town
was under someone’s control–someone with super-human strength. They
didn’t believe in vampires or witches, but events were becoming
unexplainable and leaning towards the supernatural. “You can’t tell their parents about what really happened to
them: no one is going to believe the true story. People don’t exit
through disappearing doorways—never to be seen again. You could just
tell them that they closed their shop and then left town together,” said
Shana.
“Great! Now I have to lie to the poor people!” replied David.
“I’ll call them today to tell them that their sons have left town
together…without informing anyone where they were going. I agree that
this way will be better for everyone,” said Mike.
“I’m sure that this is the best way,” said Linda. “Meanwhile, we
can attend this party and find out why the hill residents meet in secret
at Diane’s house twice a year. The more we find out, the better chance
we have of finding Tom and Edward. We can’t give up!
“Oh! By the way, we haven’t had a chance to tell you about our
visit to the village. At the diner, some of the villagers had related to
us two strange legends—that their families actually believe in. One
legend claims that the people living on the hill are vampires. The
villagers have also noticed dark figures lurking around town at the time
of Diane’s parties.”
“There’s also a second legend being told by the villagers,” added
Shana, putting on a scary voice to enhance the tale. “The hill people
are depicted as good vampires, who are combating a group of bad vampires
called The Dead—who kill people just for sport. To me, it sounds like
what happened at End House.”
David spoke up. “That party made no sense whatsoever: it may have
been executed by real vampires, who were trying to kill us. This is
beginning to sound a lot like those vampire movies that I’m usually too
terrified to watch. That would explain everything—even the creatures
that tried to knock us off the cliff!”
“And don’t forget the hooded figures I saw circling Louise in the gazebo,” added Mike.
“A lot of weird things have happened that still don’t make any sense,” said Shana.
“But why were the upstairs rooms controlled by a computer system,
while the illusions in the basement seemed to be have been under some
kind of supernatural force?” asked Linda. She wanted to hear what they
thought about this, knowing that this inconsistency had also puzzled the
great know-it-all Todd.
“Maybe this evil being wanted to appear human and therefore, rigged
the fancy computer system to confuse us,” said Shana, “or on the other
hand, he could be human and only created a trick basement to make us
think that a demon was in control.”
Linda nodded her head in agreement: that was exactly what she had told Todd.
“Well, it definitely worked: I’m so confused and frightened that I can’t think straight anymore,” said David.
“Like you ever thought clearly,” said Mike.
“Ha! Ha!”
“Since you guys seem back to normal…we’ll leave you now. Be ready
at your store at 8:45 tonight. We’re also picking up Shirley—she offered
to take us as her guests. Remember to wear tuxedos,” said Linda.
“I don’t own a tuxedo!” said David.
“I should have known. You can wear one of mine,” Mike said.
“Gee! Thanks! Yours will be much too short on me.”
