Larry Rodness was an unexpectedly excellent read, to say the least. The main
character, Alexander Malefant is hiding from his emotional world as a traveling
insurance salesman (his real job). He goes to a small-town during Halloween to
sign some new clients and things get ‘wonky’ quick. Wait until he meets the ‘witch.’
The story was superbly written and structured to keep me off the scent of the
real story for as long as possible. The ending was the best part: one of the
most imaginative and twisty endings I’ve read in a long time. A clever cross
between Stephen King and The Twilight Zone. The last five pages made October 32nd one of my favorite reads of the year and Larry Rodness one of my favorite new
horror writers. For me, five stars to Larry Rodness and to October 32nd. Buy now on Amazon.
Not On My Watch is about a LCpl. Casandra Sing, a Marine aviation
rescue firefighter. The inspiration for Cassie's character was the stories that
my granddaughter, who was a Marine Corp. aviation rescue firefighter at the
time of the writing. Elements of the story are also taken from my service in
the Army Nuclear Weapons Program. LCpl. Sing witnesses the murder of two U.S.
Army M.P.'s and decides that is her duty to stop the murderers. The situation
gets complicated when she discovers that they have also stolen two nuclear
weapons. Buy now on Amazon.
In The Defect, I tell the story of a terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant and why
the government covered it up. The Defect is based on true events: The reactor
accident at Three Mile Island NPS and a shooting incident at Watts Bar NPS.
Some story elements come from years starting-up and operating nuclear power
plants. In The Defect, I tell the story of what really happened at the power
plant and why the government covered it up. Buy now on Amazon.
Welcome to my world.
