Book Description
When Mark moves his family from the city to a tiny rural Missouri town, he believes he is providing his children with a simpler way of life and an opportunity to experience the same things he did growing up on a farm. But little does he know that the town is harboring a dark secret. One day after their arrival, one of his children is carried away by a mysterious creature, thought to be bound in a cave, never to be released again. But now, according to their grandfather, the dark being, with an all-seeing red glowing eye on its chest and large bat-like wings is coming for Mark and his family. To bind this creature back to Earth, Mark and his children must now use the key forged with fire, open the books sealed with blood, activate the four symbols, and find the courage to do what must be done, regardless of the sacrifice. In this exciting horror story, a man and his family relocate to a rural Missouri town where they become immersed in a supernatural battle with a dark creature intent on fulfilling an evil mission.

Book Description
Some believe extraterrestrials will end life as we know it. Others believe the risen dead will ravage the population and dominate the Earth. And then there are the others who think terrorists will wipe us out. I say, why not all three? The year is 2020, nearly six years after much of the planets population has been wiped out. Through the eyes of a man named Dante Marcellus, you experience the reclamation of memories lost due to unknown reasons. With the undead and a slew of monstrous aliens (spawned from a rift in Manhattan) walking the desolate planes of the United States of America, the remaining population fights to survive under the protection of a group named PaxCorpus. But to make things even crazier, the homicidal terrorist movement, ZeroFactor, threatens to murder anyone not affiliated with themselves, a new world order, they say extinction. Fighting tooth and nail to get a grasp on the events of his past, Dante unknowingly causes a chain of events that lead to an almost mirror of the events that caused humanities situation to begin with. And with a vulgar, blood stained kick to the face, everything unwinds right before him, with the barrel of his own weapon aimed between his eyes. This isn't about glampires or raging teenage hormones this is PaxCorpus the beginning of the end.
