This, my third novel, is a tale of mountain madness in an isolated winter wilderness.
A park ranger makes a grisly discovery, unleashing a buried past of lies and betrayals, while the lone woman on a team of climbers, discovers that the icy crags are not the only danger they must face. Her only hope may be an old school sheriff, who must piece together clues to reveal the true peril building on the desolate slopes above.
As a deranged man battles his own growing delusions, the climbers must deal alone with unfolding tragedy on the mountain. But their skills are secondary to the ominous, fractured mind of the man meant to watch over them. If help arrives in time, will it bring redemption or trigger an avalanche of murder and deceit? Who, if anyone, will survive the icy precipice of madness?
The Precipice diverts from the author's usual supernatural elements, though it continues to offer a dark tale that may still chill your bones. A psychological thriller and adventure in the high peaks.

The mysterious virus spreading through the populous has mutated into a deadly pandemic, resurrecting its victims, and turning them into flesh eating hordes of the living dead. For Margaret and her dog Maddie, there is no choice but to escape the city and seek safety in the nearby mountains. But neither can imagine the circumstances that lead to their separation in a world spiraling into chaos around them.
As the government and military focus on retaking the cities, the communities of Appalachia are left to fend for themselves. In the perilous search to reunite, Margaret and Maddie confront the unscrupulous, the selfish, the power-hungry fanatics, vicious packs of wild dogs and humans, and the onslaught of cannibalistic predators who now outnumber the living.
As cities burn and the Dead walk the Earth, Margaret and Maddie must find strength among the ashes. They will come to know that the bonds between them are worth fighting for, but that the fine line between good and evil is as thin as the veil between life and death.
"Dog lovers will root for these canine heroes."

The rain fell like lead, and its coming seemed to wash away the world he once knew. But something else thrived beneath the rising waters and creeping turmoil, something terrible and omnipotent, as if a great leviathan roamed below the surface ready to breach and devour.
Brad Turner had never read the Bible, but he knew the stories it told. He’d absorbed them through a lifetime of culture and allegory. But when personal tragedy strikes, the ancient narratives begin to play out around him with deadly consequences. Only in his desperate search for his missing family does he find the strength to carry on - but every clue uncovered leads to a new mystery, and every turn in the darkness drives him closer to madness. To discover the truth, he must surrender to a new reality and its terrifying implications. Plagued by angels and demons alike, he must make a horrible choice, a choice that will govern the destiny of his eternal soul. But behind every choice lurks a Monster.
