Book Description
Divorced, middle-aged and living alone, Gene Gatz is an archaeology professor whose best years are behind him. When he heads off to Spain on a summer expedition to explore a castle with a colleague, he discovers a rare Mayan codex and a mysterious diary written by a Spanish conquistador. Gatz learns that the codex allegedly holds the secret to eternal life. But the transformation comes at a terrible cost. To regain his youth, Gatz must make a blood sacrifice of a virgin bride. As the codex begins to exert a strange influence over him, Gatz identifies his young student Sara Drake as the ideal subject for the gruesome ritual. Convincing the unsuspecting Sara to marry him, Gatz murders her in a Mayan temple on their honeymoon and drinks her blood from the heart he has plucked from her chest. He passes out and awakens to find himself a vampire. What follows is a dramatic pursuit of the vampire Gatz by Detective Tony Drake, the psychically gifted brother of the murdered Sara. The chase culminates in a life and death struggle to prevent Satan himself from entering the physical world.

Pages : 536
Book Description
Handsome Rob Baron had a keen eye for business, yet maintained a conservative approach to life. His wife, Julia, with her fiery red hair and emerald green eyes possessed a marketing mind and a writer's sense of creativity, which caused her to view life from a different perspective. They pooled their resources and entered a new chapter of their lives as owners of The Madera Market. The pair soon discovered that their dream of business ownership had turned into a nightmare so powerful it kept drawing Julia deeper and deeper towards its vortex, one horrific dream sequence at a time. There were singular events in Julia Baron's life that seemed innocuous, leaving little cause for her personal concern. But little did Julia realize that collectively these events could and would alter her life and disrupt the usual, customary and orderly existence she shared with her husband and family. Most people think they live uneventful, average lives. They think nothing out-of-the-ordinary could ever happen to them. Julia Baron was like everyone else. She was just an ordinary person with one exception her life just happened to take some extraordinary turns leading her on a journey far removed from her sheltered world into a dark underworld of secrets and perversions far beyond her wildest imagination. Julia Baron found herself amidst the underbelly of society where subcultures thrived on drugs, promoted prostitution and pornography and were capable of many things even murder. She had become an unwilling player in a game that had no rules and knew no boundaries and her only way to gain back control of her life was to find the "Pieces of the Puzzle".
