Horror novel ocracoke coming soon!
Look for this exciting book to drop soon in both paperback and eBook formats. About the story: On the remote Outer Banks island of Ocracoke, life slows to a crawl. Tourists feel their troubles fade away the minute they drive off the ferry, while locals enjoy a prosperous quality of life second to none thanks to their local benefactor, the handsome and charming 20-something entrepreneur Thomas White. But this paradise off the coast of North Carolina has a dark secret — a history born from danger and treachery, and a façade that today is the perfect hiding place for this entrepreneur’s dark secret: his immortality and bloodlust. Thomas is a 160-year-old vampire, a survivor from a long-ago British shipwreck, lording over the bucolic beach community as a benevolent despot with a combination of economic incentives and fear. When unscrupulous venture capitalists scuttle an expansion to his business empire, and vacationing police detective Peter McAllister starts meddling in White’s affairs – as well as capturing the attention of his love interest, local waitress Ilona Ivanov – jealousy and anger trigger the worst in his nature. Blood soaks the streets of Ocracoke as the enraged vampire seeks retribution on anyone and everyone for this affront to his power. Peter and Ilona must rally the locals to stop White and his rampage of terror before he slaughters more innocents in his feral rage. Or will they instead tolerate his evil, choosing money and comfort over morals while allowing him to run wild? |

An influential politician’s staffer is found dead, right in the middle of a campaign.
