Eleven years to the day, the Second Edition of Woeful Pines is live. This novel is updated for the times and includes expanded chapters and content.
Woeful Pines is a paranormal/horror story. Vampires abound, so anticipate a trigger warning for vampire-like violence.
Full Synopsis
Undercover agent Emily Bannon thought she was chasing a human predator. The disappearances in rural Kentucky were brutal and inexplicable, yet still within the realm of reason. Until she’s taken.
Dragged through a shimmering portal hidden deep in the forest, Emily awakens in a realm that defies logic. A place ruled by monstrous beauty and unspeakable cruelty. Here, vampires reign. Not the romantic kind, but apex predators who enslave, hunt, and feed on anything that bleeds. Humans are sport. Emily is now prey.
Her only hope lies in Sheriff Jenna Yang, a woman she barely knows. Back in Woeful Pines, Jenna senses something is wrong, but will she connect the dots in time? And if she does, will she risk her life to cross into a nightmare world to rescue a stranger?
As the hunt begins, Emily must outwit creatures older than myth and darker than death. Because in this world, survival isn’t just a matter of strength. It’s a matter of being remembered.
Older News
Slowly, I'm re-editing, polishing, and re-publishing Second Editions of my older works. These books were graciously returned to me by my previous publisher. So, if you see me putting out one or two books a month, please know these are not new works. Nor are they AI-generated novels. To date, I still have seven other novels that need re-worked and republished. For confirmation, please feel free to check the original copyright date proudly displayed on the second page of the novels.
​
Once I have all of these novels back up, I will be free to move on to the new stuff. In fact, I have three independent new novels already half written. I intend to have at least one of them completed in 2026.
​
Thank you so much for sticking with me. Wish me luck!
