FEAR THE DARK, my entry in the RAVAGED SKIES WORLD, is available today in E-BOOK and PAPERBACK formats! (Audiobook coming soon!)

A solar superstorm. A deadly EMP. An escaped convict, hellbent on a twisted reunion. 
Ten years after suffering a violent attack, Samantha Young rebuilds her life in a small town in Colorado. Living in witness protection, she hopes to put the past behind and forge a new life with her nine-year-old daughter, Maddie. When a solar flare knocks out the power, Samantha prepares for a minor inconvenience. And then a CME hits, dumping the entire world into darkness.
En route from Cheshire Correctional Institute to MacDougal-Walker, Stephen Silva dreams of the day he’ll regain his freedom. He’s obsessed with finding his first and only victim, desperate for a second chance with her. When an unprecedented storm brings the world to its knees, it’s time to make his fantasy a reality.
He’ll find the girl who got away. He’ll finish what he started.
I've had a ton of fun writing this book, and can't wait for everyone to dive in! This one has a little something for everyone. Fans of my post-apocalyptic series CONTAMINATION and OUTAGE series will appreciate the characters, but Thriller/Horror fans will probably enjoy it, too.
One of my favorite authors growing up was (and still is) Dean Koontz. I'll never forget the first book I read by him—Twilight Eyes—about a young man who detects shape-shifting monsters. I always loved the way he blended Thrillers, Science Fiction, & Horror. While our plots are very different (and so are our writing styles), it feels like I channeled a little of his influence. I'd like to think my 14-year-old self would devour it by flashlight under the covers, long after being told to turn the lights out!
I'm excited to hear what you think! Enjoy the book, but be sure to leave the lights on!
