Almost Angels
It’s hard-boiled crime fiction with a magical twist when noir meets sorcery on the mean streets of 1947 LA. Someone is preying on the actresses who flood into Los Angeles from every corner of the post-war United States. It looks like the work of a serial killer, a real sicko, but Tom McBain takes one look at the ritualized cuts on the latest body and knows the truth.
This is the work of a dark sorcerer. Someone is draining bodies of their life force, using starry-eyed actresses as a source of magical fuel.
The cops won’t take him seriously. They’ve got their man, a janitor with a mental handicap. But McBain knows they’ve got the wrong guy.
McBain can’t walk away. An innocent man will rot in prison, but that’s not the worst of it. The sorcerer will strike again, and again and again unless somebody stops him. Tom McBain, paranormal consultant and doctoral student, will have to go far out of his comfort zone and walk some of LA’s meanest streets, or another young starlet will see her dream of Hollywood ending in agony and death.

Curse of the Cristobal
The conquistadors came looking for gold. They found death instead.
When Lope makes it back to the ship with a ragged handful of soldiers and they leave the nameless island behind, he thinks he’s escaped.
He’s wrong.
A shaman on the island has put a terrible curse on the fleeing men. When the first soldier succumbs to his wounds, his corpse rises to strike down another man. Now there are two of the undead, and they turn on the rest of the crew. In the open ocean, with no land in sight, there is nowhere to flee as the tide of a desperate battle slowly turns against the survivors.
As the circle of survivors grows smaller and smaller, and Lope takes a wound, he realizes the horrifying truth. He cannot trust his comrades. Even his own cousin may become one of the undead. And if they realize just how bad his wound is, the other survivors may not wait for Lope to die…

Quetzalcoatl
They tricked him. They drugged him. They made him believe it was all a hallucination. But Jack Wilson, security guard, is starting to suspect the truth.
The feathered snake is real. It crawled through a portal in the lobby of his office building, and now it’s up on the 19th floor with some dangerous cultists who think it’s an Aztec god.
There’s no point in reporting it. Who would believe him? The smart thing to do is keep quiet, finish his shift, and go home. But the snake has Sally, the cute girl from the card store. There is nobody to save her. Nobody but a desperate, frightened security guard who can’t quite believe his own eyes…

Spirit of Adventure: Two Short Stories

And in the Bear Clan, there’s only one way to prove your worth.

On the other side of the portal is all the adventure a man could want. Now Roger has been captured by lizard men, and they are marching him up the side of a volcano to sacrifice him to their god. Worst of all, they’ve taken the little statue away, and with it, Roger’s only hope of getting home.
