The Dead Saint

It begins with a single gunshot, and Bishop Lynn Peterson watches in horror as a good friend, who is a member of the New Orleans Saints, collapses on the street.

When a medal the player wore—a medal Lynn had promised to return to the man’s family—disappears, Lynn is thrust into a suspenseful and fast-moving journey through four assassinations, an attempt on her life, conflicts with a mysterious and ancient society, and a behind-the-scenes conspiracy that reaches all the way to the White House. The turbulent, unstoppable intrigue challenges Lynn mentally, physically, and spiritually as she engages in a desperate battle with an opponent who is just as determined to kill as Lynn is to stop him even though she has no idea where—or who—he will strike next.

Keep Mama Dead

In 1905 of this alternate history, in a country located between Arizona and Utah, 19-year-old Thomas Baker has accepted that his mother won’t last out the day. She’s used up all her second life days, and won’t live again.

People should respect someone’s wishes to stay dead, but Thomas’s family will try to resurrect her. They need her to work the farm and cook their meals. They need her for a slave–a companion to Thomas out in the fields.

So Thomas has to stop them. He has to keep his mama dead.

Not a problem–at least, not until Mr. Milne arrives with Miss Sadie. She’s Thomas’s age, and wears a white dress and hat. She has a face like an angel and hair like a halo. But she’s also a zombie raiser–which means the barrier has fallen. The Moabites can invade with their undead army.

And no doubt they will. They want to own the sacred land of Zion’s Canyon–the very location where Thomas’s family will try to resurrect his mama. But he’ll stop his family. Even if that means facing an army of zombies. Or his brother and father.

Or a zombie-raising belle.
