I create stories that deal with very personal and social issues: Alcoholism, mental illness, adultery, domestic abuse, as well as some other taboo subjects. My women are not weak, and yet, my men are not always strong; you will find that my characters are not perfect - they are far from it, actually, because even heroes have a chink or two in their armor. It's what makes them human, and I find that fascinating.

His sudden inability to confide in his wife, Cheryl, causes their home, which was once a haven for him, to become just another source of tension.An overzealous news team, a threat from his not so distant past, and a mayor who wants the murder swept under the rug, only add to the pressure surrounding Jack as he struggles to do what's right on all levels in this riveting, stand-alone sequel to The Monster of Silver Creek.
