Plague Synopsis!
Below is the synopsis to PLAGUE, the sequel to my novel GARGOYLES. PLAGUE is book two in the Resurrection Trilogy series. The PLAGUE cover is being designed as you read this...
In seven days, modern civilization will come to a jolting halt.
Unaware she stands on the brink of a global catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude, Amoreena Daniels embarks on a goodwill mission to the Yucatan jungles of southern Mexico. Four years have passed since her involuntary participation in a diabolical transgenic cloning experiment and subsequent narrow escape from the Las Canas research facility buried deep in the Guatemalan rainforests. In PLAGUE, the riveting sequel to the science fiction thriller, GARGOYLES, Amoreena is ready to move on with her life. She’s on the verge of graduating from UCLA medical school and set to begin a prestigious residency at Stanford.
Only weeks before her graduation, Amoreena and her new boyfriend, Dr. Robert Kincaid, an ambitious ophthalmologist, join the Flying Samaritans and fly to the Yucatan where they will deliver care to the poor. Early in the trip, though, Amoreena and the other Samaritans are caught totally unprepared by the massive spread of illness. In one night, all of Amoreena’s coworkers succumb horribly to enferma de diablo, the devil’s sickness. Before her eyes, people become monsters; insanity, cannibalism, grotesque physical transformations are hallmarks of this rampant disease. An entire village is wiped out.
The contagion is a highly infectious gene altering viron, inadvertently released by Dr. Ross Becker’s organization, Amoreena’s nemesis from GARGOYLES, and has spread globally. This primitive virus-like protein is a ticking time bomb programmed to detonate at zero-time, the point maximum virulence is reached and everyone exposed will be altered. The vast majority will die. Amoreena reunites with her companions from Las Canas, and together they must flee for their lives. But this time there is no place to run. No place is safe. While attempting to save her own life, Amoreena is suddenly confronted with another startling revelation—one that just might hold the key to the salvation of mankind!
Fasten your seat belts, close your eyes, and pray like hell, because the world as we know it is coming to an end!

PLAGUE
The cover for PLAGUE, my second book in the Resurrection Trilogy series, is ready to be uploaded. Received the final edits back today on the manuscript and Thursday I should be finished reviewing them. Then the book is off to the formatter. Sometime in January, Amoreena Daniels will return--only you thought she was in a predicament in GARGOYLES, wait until you read what happens in PLAGUE! Should be interesting. Amoreena's one tough character, though. She'll make it--or will she?
Four Releases!
These next four months are going to be busy. I plan on releasing four titles--that is the plan anyway. PLAGUE, the sequel to GARGOYLES, and book two in the Resurrection Trilogy series will be published later this month, or early Feb. I've decided to release a children's story as well. RETURN TO UNDERLAND will be my first foray into juvenile literature and will be directed at 8 to 12 year old readers. The story revolves around two young explorers who discover a cave where all the extinct animals of the world still exist. Then in March, I plan to contribute to The Eclective's CELTIC COLLECTION--an anthology of Irish and St. Patrick's Day short stories. Look for this--it should be good. And finally, April is the release month for my Samhain published novel GIRL BLUE, the erotic supernatural story of a terminally-ill sculptor slowly going insane. I'm looking forward to getting these books out and hope everyone who reads them will find the stories entertaining.
PLAGUE
PLAGUE has just been released on Amazon. PLAGUE's timeline is four years after Amoreena's narrow escape from Las Canas. Little does Amoreena realize the catastrophic changes she is about to confront! Damn, and she's just ready to graduate from UCLA Med School. Shit happens! http://amzn.to/yYQHct
