The Dark Path –The Dark Path is six short stories that will have you off the seat of your chair, as well as leave you thinking. Five different stories that entangle each other at times. The best part is that each one will take you further on your adventure, or you'll have more adventures to look forward to. I like short and sweet stories. I like stories to make us all think. Have fun escaping - He has nowhere to go or turn. It will turn your life into an endless drama of suspense, keeping you intrigued to follow suit. Will he make it or not? Have you ever woken up not knowing where you are? How did you get there? How and who will help him? Help Wanted - 3 friends decide to go on an adventure. They figure out what the best way to see the country and make money at the same time. It is what you would expect until the twists and turns hit you. The first reaction is awe. The second is what the hell? It will make you wonder. April Showers bring May Flowers - is just crazy. A very fast-paced story of a small town that will make you think. It will make you ponder if it is possible. You will think about this endlessly. I know it! You'll never look at roses the same. Storey Lake - 2 young ladies have been friends since school. A very different story that will send your mind into an endless array of circles and excitement. Where and when you may continue to escape or is it just a dream overall? Hmm, one will never know. We are all afraid of the dark! In circulation - 4 people meet and ponder together the fate of man. I think you'll understand the troubles a person may have, no matter who they are. Have you ever wondered if God may have bad days? Ex - You love him 

        (Jesse ran and then jumped over the truck hood to land on the ground on the other side of the truck. The gator hit the side of the truck, making the truck almost roll over. Jesse got up and then opened the passenger door of the truck. He jumped inside, closing the door behind him.) 

Vladimir - Vladimir is about Vampires and humans coming together for a new world. They coexist for many years until humans attempt to manipulate the vampires' blood, causing chaos. The two collide with Vladimir, the Lord of the Vampires, who plans to take over the world one night. Now the Vampire nation is running the world. Humans are used for entertaining vampires. They have become a good food source as well. They have returned to the Romans, running their empire. I am sure you will understand once you enlighten yourself. But Vladimir has had many enemies for centuries, so we shall read about the Great Vampire ever to have lived. Lord Vladimir.

          (She heard something over her head and then stopped in her tracks. The air was blowing all around her. She started looking around her frantically in every direction as fast as possible, but she could see nothing but darkness. She lunged for the front porch with her arms extended, reaching for the door handle. Her eyes lit up with a slight smirk on her mouth. She was inches away, so close to her salvation. Then, in a split second, she vanished into the wind with her screams, yelling for Daddy. Like a ribbon floating in the wind, she was gone.) 

Jaws of Death - Jaws of Death is a story that happened on Hazzard Island. One day, after thirty years on this peaceful island, Sheriff Tom Henson receives a call about a missing person. The sheriff, distraught, leaves his breakfast on the table and walks out of the diner when he runs into his best friend's mother, Sharon Brolin. They chat for a spell when he asks how Mike is doing. Tom asks if there are any plans for him to come up soon to visit. Sharon shrugs her shoulders and then laughs at the question, saying Mike is fine in Jamaica, working away. Tom asks Ms. Brolin if Mike knows about her situation when she smiles, telling Tom that he does. Tom finishes talking with Ms. Brolin and then watches her walk away down the street. Tom walks towards his car, pulls out his phone to dial Mike Brolin, and then leaves a message. Mike Brolin receives a message from Tom telling him he might wish to come home. His mother is very ill, so it might be a good idea to return home one last time to visit his mother on Hazzard Island. Mike calls Tom later that night and then decides to bring the family back with him, his wife Carla and daughter Thea, along with his daughter's boyfriend, Matt Slone, who just asked Thea to marry him. Mike came home with his family when the second attack occurred that afternoon. A giant tiger shark has roamed Hazzard Island and now has claimed the island as its home. The tiger shark starts to protect its territory and attacks anything that enters its domain. It started on that bright, sunny, hot, blistering day when visitors and islanders began missing one after another when body parts washed up onto shore in pieces, making it hard to identify or recognize due to the lack of evidence. Where did this large creature come from? Who will survive this ordeal on this July 4th weekend on Hazzard Island? Let us read the story to find out.

They Always Come Back – This book is about friends who get together one Friday night. It's all fun and games. They decide to play with an Ouija board that Ashleigh found. They start to have fun when they realize that they are not alone. Soon, they will find themselves in a whirlwind of mind-bending fates for each one of them. The problem is when you start to feel like you are in a dream with no control. I think we will have to read to find out their fate.

        (A loud thunder cracked outside, making all of us jump and scream. We all laughed like hell, then grabbed hands once more. Shannon said to turn and look at the desk. The chair was lying on its side on the floor. It was probably us from screaming and jumping. Mike agreed and told everyone to get back to it. Ashley said it was her turn. Ashley asked if they were there to hurt anyone. The door leading up to the attic slammed shut. Everyone jumped when the girls screamed)

He stares at his hands. He looks up to see the shit storm in front of him. This place looks worse than a third-world country. The devastation is everywhere.

Steamy Waters Campground – Most of us who grew up with an outdoor family have been hiking, motocross, snowmobiling and camping. I have had the luxury of doing all of it. I used to love camping. Of course, as life goes on, we buy the luxuries of camping, even a bed off the ground. That's not camping, but a hotel stay, but we still do it. Anyone who engages in extreme hiking or camping has encountered a moment with an animal you cannot trust. I have experienced a cougar in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. When I first saw the animal, I thought it was a giant raccoon until it leaped up in the air. That's when I almost shit, not crap my pants. Scared the living hell out of me standing there as it jumped from the ground into a tree, then turned to look directly at me with my two children.

Help Wanted – Chris McVillain was on his way over to his friend Shawn’s house, walking down the street, looking into the Beamer Falls paper for a job. He looked while walking to see if the first column contained anything but found nothing. He looked down the second column, then the third column. He turned the page, hoping to find something fast. He walked down the street, still looking through the paper, when his eyes came across a small (Help! Wanted) sign. He looked at the small ad. He thought it was perfect for him and the boys. Steve, Chris and Shawn are best of friends. They figured they wanted to work during the summer up north. They just thought what a way to make money while checking out the scenery.

Charles opened the envelope to see what was inside. He pulled out the piece of paper, only to find four lines on it. He managed to sit up, rubbing his head as he tried to come to. 1.

Bullhead – The small town of Beamer Falls Lake is under attack. Something around their water is killing everything in sight. What could it be? Fear is starting to take over. I remember when we were water skiing at Lake Cold Water on a beautiful sunny warm day in Cold Water, Michigan. It was my turn. Woot, Woot. I was skiing around the lake for at least 3 to 4 minutes, enjoying every wake. Then a path knocked me off balance, sending me crashing into the water. I laughed while waving to Cheryl and Ed, telling them I was ok. I was trolling the water while waiting for the boat to come back around to pick me up. Then it hit. Da-not, da-not, da-not, da-not, my heart started to race and then pound. I looked all around in every direction at the dead-calm water. My feet cannot touch the bottom. I began to breathe heavily. I knew I would see a fin or a gator coming towards me. I noticed the boat coming straight at me. I start to swim towards the ship as fast as I can. I begin to panic, thinking something is under me or chasing me.

         (The hair rose on the back of his neck as he stood still, trying to listen to every sound but hearing nothing but eeriness. Old man Jenkins became uneasy and fast, then started looking around in every direction. He grabbed Karl's tackle box and Carl's hat, then started back down the side of the lake where he came from as fast as he could shuffle. Bullhead rose from the grass, then slowly walked through the sand, and back into the water.)

      (She walked over to put her arms around him. He put his arms around her and then held her close. He then stretched out his jaw and sank his teeth into her neck. He dug in deep. He just kept going until she was done. She collapsed to the floor, and then he just walked away.)

Story Lake – This Chilling story will take you to your dark side. Storey Lake is a thriller that happened years ago. But the things we encounter could be very chilling. Friends decide to try Ouija out. Calling on the other can be fun as kids until someone answers back. I would be scared as hell.

       (The car spun wildly, smashing and bouncing off the guardrails. The woman had to have flown at least fifty feet in the air and then slammed her down onto her back. The guys started screaming for Jeff to get some control, but the car kept spinning. Everything was in slow motion, and I could only focus on the lady lying there with us getting closer every second.) 

Blood Suckers – Here we are, living in the day and age where everything we could wish for is at our fingertips. I have always been fascinated by vampires and Werewolves. Something about their presence can enhance one’s thoughts. I love a great movie where the other side attacks people for no apparent reason, except for a food source or just plain evil. So here you are, where the Vampires are rulers and will always seem to do so. At least in my writing, anyway. LOL

         (The guards dragged the lifeless bodies to the tunnels with Vano walking behind them. It was time to dispose of the bodies. Vladimir stood up and then walked up to the podium. He raised his arms to silence the crowd. This will be our new world.)

But before they can get to Texas, they must go back through Comanche Past, where they left destruction without respect.

          (Crouching Bear rose to his feet and charged the soldiers, screaming at the top of his lungs. The other two followed his lead. The soldiers turned to hear the Indians charging forward at them with their knives and tomahawks raised over their heads.) 

Diesel – This fascinating story is based on the fact that we never know what we are getting when we buy a pet. Diesel sets the tone for one thrilling ride, which will take us to a place that we never wish to see or go to. It twists you to wonder if there is an end. Evil lurks around us, and there are always two sides to us as well. We have good and evil in us all. It is up to us to decide which is a greater distraction in our lives. There is always a voice inside us telling us which direction we should. The problem is that sometimes we hear voices and are not sure where they are coming from. Good luck, remember to keep your pet close to you:)

          (The dog was standing on the roof of the Pinto just trying to dig its way into the car. The woman with her son was screaming while crouching down on the floor.)

She looks up at him when her eyes turn blood red. Dr. Rydell stares at him, noticing her teeth start to clench. She is now looking angry at him. He drops her to the floor while John Duffy reaches for his gun when Old Mr. Seamus walks past her. He grabs the sculpture from her desk and then smashes the Doctor on the back of her head. He stands up straight, looks over to Deputy Duffy, and says We have a problem. Every Rose Has Its Thorn – Pg Old Mr. Seamus looks over at the dead body. He continues to pull the bookshelf away from the wall, revealing a hole in the wall. The room, on the other side, was as bright as the sun. Old Mr. Seamus enters the room. UV lights hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room. Old Mr. Seamus's old eyes can barely focus due to the right light. They grew something in there, he thinks. Something beautiful. Fourteen identical roses. All the same, blood red in colour. The most beautiful design. Old Mr. Seamus stares at them, like a person staring at the Lord himself, in total awe. He dares not touch them. We all have been told to look but not to touch! Why is that we wonder. The problems lie when some of us don't feel the need to listen.

The Evil Within Beamer Falls Collection – 356 pg. It is the top-selling collection of five, with three on Audible.  I selected these five tales that take place in the surroundings of Beamer Falls, Rhode Island. I have compiled these five tales of evil that have been told about Beamer Falls, dating back before the 1600s. Evil has long been associated with this small surrounding area.
Our First Tale will enlighten you about territory conflict dating back as far as time can tell. Our Second Tale finds us playing with the unknown. The problem is them coming back. Our Third Tale is how man’s best friend turns into man's worst enemy. Our Fourth Tale sets the mood in a twisted mind game: Are you there, or not there? Last but not least, our fifth tale sets a chain of events that can lead to years of torment.
Everything has a dark side. I hope you find these tales enlightening. The Evil Within Beamer Falls is ready for you.

When Darkness Falls - When Darkness Falls is about the world finally destroying each other’s resources until the only thing left is electricity, and the world is sent back to the pioneer days, except for three countries. Mexico, the United States and Canada. The United States has less than three years to find another source. They ask Mexico and Canada to help. They refuse. They already have their people trapped in an isolated area. They cannot give up any electricity or take any people from their countries. There is just no room. The United States is furious. They plan to attack both countries to seize their territory. How will they do this? Can they? There will be resistance.

        (The Captain was yelling for Kenny to get down or back to them. Kenny turned to run when he was hit right in the middle of his back, sending him down to the ground in silence. He lay there next to his friend. He reached out his hand to Chris. He was hit once more, making his fate permanent. The Captain sighed and told the men to return to the buildings. They all retreated, heading back to where they came from.)
