Childhood Rites on sale today
October is the season of Halloween, sugary treats, things that go bump in the night, and — the release of “Childhood Rites” my new creeptacular tale that will raise the hackles on your flesh and have you double checking the locks on your doors.
Proud to announce that it’s on sale for a mere 99 cents. The seed of this tale rattled around in my skull for a while. What if a childhood friend you hadn’t seen/spoken to in several years showed up at your door and asked you to help find another friend who had gone missing? (In our Facebook-connected life would that be so strange?) From that nugget, the story grew into the twisted tale available today. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it!
Here’s the plot:
"When Eric Deal answers a knock on his front door, the last person he expects to find is Justin Findley, a childhood friend whom he hasn’t seen in years.
But Justin isn’t there to swap pleasantries. He’s searching for Stan Whitman, the hard-partying final member of their old trifecta, who recently disappeared from their hometown after meeting a mysterious woman.
Soon, Eric and Justin are navigating the East Texas piney woods in pursuit of their friend, where they will discover that the truth of what happened to Stan is more terrifying than anything they could conjure in their darkest imaginations."
