Billy
Published 1990
Terror crosses a new, horrific border: A psychopathic kidnapper becomes so deranged
that his sadistic fantasies are indistinguishable from reality, and a childs
nightmares become his only comfort while he prays for death as his only escape.
Presented from both Billys and his kidnappers
points of view, Billy is a story so terrifying and yet so passionately
committed to the value of the human spirit that it will leave you breathless.

The Forbidden Zone
Published July 1993
Every small town has a special place like the mound. Lovers go these to woo, families
picnic in summer, children sled in winter. For the community of Oscola, New York,
the mound has never been dangerous...until now.
Now something beyond cunning or imagining, something
that appears undeniably evil is hiding beneath the mound. The terror comes from
out of time, space, and the depths of the human mind with its alien needs and
desires. It spreads its roots in secret...changing, transforming, reshaping reality.
It seeks to sweep aside all that the good townfolk love and cherish: their past,
their hopes, the promise of their souls. It fills the innocent earth with its
presence it screams with power.
How can ordinary people protect themselves from
this evil? How can they fight its weapon of soul-breaking potency a sweetly
seductive yet unspeakably savage pleasure too intense to resist? Brian Kelly,
a courageous physicist still grieving over the hideous death of his first wife
and child, suspects that the shell of reality must have been torn to let in this
monstrosity. He must discover a way to repair the rift. His very pregnant second
wife, Loi, a beautiful and intelligent refugee from the pain of Vietnam, has battled
demons before. Shes ready to dare anything to save her unborn son. The tough
yet dangerously vulnerable Ellen Maas, a big-city reporter trying to revive the
local paper, must finally commit to destroying the beast or perish herself.
Bob West, a cop who saw every kind of madness and violence during the war, will
return to the law of the jungle or worse if it will save his family.
They must band together to unmask and defeat the
invincible evil beneath the mound. But even in their most private imaginings they
cannot conceive of the power they will confront and the vengeance it can wreak
on any who oppose its design of conquest. Only an impossible gamble will give
the town of Oscola a chance to prevail, and only Brian and Loi know the stakes.
