Synopsis:

            At only twenty-three Marshall Montgomery is the youngest reporter to have ever worked at his newspaper in Los Angeles County. His life has been his job. But something is about to happen that will force him to confront the painful memory of his sister’s death and open him to a world very much apart from his own.

            A young girl has been found dead in Wakan Canyon. A place Marshall will find that has a past filled with violence and bloodshed. Hundreds of years ago Native American’s fought over the land and even today lives are being taken to protect a secret.

            Deep within the canyon there is a power that has been hidden by generations of the area’s inhabitants. In the canyon lies a dark force that has corrupted every single one of its owners since the beginning of time. Now, trying to discover the truth, Marshall finds himself caught in a web of lies, manipulation, secrecy and death.

Bad Land Cover Reveal Monday September 23rd

Bad Land Cover Coming Sep 23rd

     It's hard to believe that in just a few days I'll be releasing the cover to my third book. Things have continued to move forward, so quickly in fact, that Bad Land will be released next month! 

     Just so there is no confusion I wanted to explain what Bad Land is and where the idea came from. Early March 2013 I was brainstorming a movie idea with one of my good friends who is in the film industry. We wanted to come up with an original idea that I could write and he could film. 

     Bad Land, a new adult mystery novel, was born over a rough outline and sandwiches from some weird shop in Santa Monica. Fast forward six months and now after pitching the idea to my publisher and getting their support Bad Land is a book. I've also converted the book into a script for my friend who is out raising support and gathering both the man power and financial backing for a film. 

     For all of my Elite Series fans, Bad Land is not the third book in the series but I believe you will enjoy the read just as much. Book three in the Elite Series is being written now and I am hoping to have a finished draft for my publisher next month.
