 The Bones of Lazarus follows intersecting
lives on the war-torn Caribbean Island of Saint George.
-
- Amidst rising
acts of terror and horrific bombings, surfaces a savage killer,
a war correspondent whose stories have become oddly prophetic,
a Russian operative with a past, and a mysterious political plot.
Is it more than a coincidence?
At its epicenter,
Captain Daniel Loomis, fighting for his sanity and survival,
seeks a connection. Yet, he cannot stop the growing fear that
a creature of legend has arrived—the immortal Lazarus. Resurrected
with a terrifying power, it's claimed he's walked the earth for
2,000 years seeking the hearts and souls of the wicked—leaving
his mark—the face of petrified evil—upon his victims.
As political
intrigue and conspiracy unravel around him, Captain Loomis is
charged with finding the killer. But first he must come to terms
with whether he pursues a man, a myth, or the original Frankenstein
monster in this imaginative, darkly funny, supernatural thriller.

- Special Kindle Edition $2.99
- With a new afterword
Deep in the
forest, beyond the northern slopes of the Old Mountain by the
Sea, upon the far edge of the Lost  Kingdom of Moose Harbor,
stretches a dark, mysterious tract of land known by those who
know no better, and better known by those who do, as the Wailing
Wood. For more generations than remembered superstition has held
that the old-growth forest is enchanted by a witch—a witch
that came to be in a dark time. At nightfall, it is said, the
woods come to life, haunted by evil spirits under her spell.
Locals believe that none shall pass through her woods after sunset—and
live to tell about it—for no one ever has.
- Then, late
one night, in the dead of winter, one man knowingly comes before
the Wailing Wood. There’s been a terrible accident, and
time is against him. He must choose his path: the lengthy trail
off the mountain or the shorter trail through the witch’s
forest. Wavering and unsure, he brushes superstition aside and
enters. His mind drifts, as does his reality, slowly, with each
step he takes, until the forest awakens, or so it seems. Struggling
for his sanity, he finds himself in an endless nightmare desperately
trying to break the forest's enchantment as he attempts to break
through to the other side.
