The Ojanox II
Ashes to Ashes
Dr. Ethan Ziegler believes the mysterious outbreak has been contained and the people of Garrett Grove have nothing to worry about. However, an ill-fated traffic fatality leads to a gruesome discovery, leaving Sheriff Carl Primrose and Medical Examiner Burt Lively even more concerned about the deadly infection.
With increasing occurrences of random violence and a rash of absenteeism reported in the town's schools and businesses, it becomes apparent that something terrible is taking place.
Meanwhile, on the side of the mountain, an excavation team has unwittingly released a darkness back into the world.

The Ojanox III
All Fall Down
With their town under siege and all evacuation routes blocked, Sheriff Primrose is quickly running out of options. Falling back on his military training, he enlists the help of first-responders and retired officers, forming an armed posse. Their goal: round up as many survivors as possible before night falls, and then barricade themselves somewhere safe until dawn.
Despite being sidelined by the adults, Troy, Wendy, and Janis have made their own startling discovery, one that may help turn the tide in the impending confrontation - but only if they can convince their parents to listen.
But timeless malevolence is not so easily conquered. High up on the mountain, hidden in the depths of Mountainside Asylum, the dark entity has a plan of its own, something the Grove's residents will never see coming.

The Ojanox IV
Lonesome Mountain
The town of Garrett Grove has come under attack. Cut off from the rest of the world, they are forced to make their final stand.
But at what cost?
"Written with beautifully descriptive scenes, The Ojanox places you directly into the quaint, small town of Garrett Grove during the Halloween season where everything is pleasant...until it isn't. An ancient, dark entity is accidently excavated and escapes into the world with chilling results. The Ojanox is a fresh, original, plot-driven page turner that I couldn't put down. I highly recommend it and am looking forward to Part Two of this excellent series." - Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine

Manx-iety
The stories in this book were inspired by real-life events. Some are loose interpretations of my nightmares and experiences, and others are dark memoirs. All were designed to evoke emotion. Longing, fear, remorse, desperation, and of course, anxiety, are a few of the horrors we all face and the ones from which there is often no escape. These stories were written during the most difficult periods in my life. Addiction, incarceration, and depression are the demons of which I speak. Creating this compilation became the tool I used to overcome these demons. This is the product of that struggle. This is Manx-iety.
